So..."The Lost Room"?

[trinityofone]

I'm assuming there was discussion of this, which I missed because of my recent "This one goes to 11 (p.m.)" work week, so I hope nobody minds if I just pose this query:

Wha? What the hell happened at the end there? I loved the build up, so the end was totally like a giant balloon deflating for me. Why weren't there any consequences for Joe killing the occupant? Why did any of that actually bring Anna back? How come there was such a stupid non-resolution to the Ruber/Detective Bridgewater plot? Was it just me, or did the guy who played Ruber totally wish he were Gary Oldman? Why wasn't there more Roger Bart, who I enjoyed an insane amount? Are they planning a sequel, or what?

*grumble grumble grouse*

Anyway.

Unrelated: vassilissa brings the awesome. Or the awesomely terrifying, take your pick.

ETA: kuwdora brings the other awesome. (Well, she linked to it. *g*) House/Wilson is totally canon, yo! Well, kinda. (Minor S3 spoilers.)

ETA2: Even more awesome via wychwood. I AM INFAMOUS. And I love sgastoryfinders.

A series would be fine! A series would be awesome! Because I was really impressed, actually, with all the detective stuff, which was clever and made sense in a way that most TV detection does not, and there are of course infinite possibilities for more cool stuff with other objects. So yes, let's hope for a series and SOME EXPLANATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES, OMG.

I'm deeply fascinated by the idea of things existing where they shouldn't and (odd) everyday items having special powers, so I'm all for this whole universe as a fandom. I'd even love to see crossovers, because those items could be ANYWHERE.

Ooh, you are brilliant! And we don't even have to wait for a series for that!

*tries to decide which characters would be the most fun to fuck with* Supernatural is too obvious, isn't it?

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

SPN could definitely be interesting... however, right now I'm sort of in love with the idea of a SPN/American Gods crossover, but that's probably just me. :)

I think it would be hilarious to xover TLR with shows that Krause's been on before, like Six Feet Under or, GOD, Sports Night. ♥

Oooh, SPN/American Gods could be wicked cool. (I accidentally mistyped that as SGA/American Gods, which...wow, would really break both universes.) They're both very road-trippy. This is good.

The Lost Room/Sports Night would be HILARIOUS. Because the contrast between how Joe was just like "I accept that all this wacky shit is happening" and how Dan and Casey would have to discuss it ENDLESSLY...that would win.

Oh! Oh! What if one of the objects showed up in Eureka!? (Do you watch that show? You totally should if you don't.) They would spend FOREVER trying to figure it out. And/or destroy it.

I watched the first couple episodes of Eureka and then got bored. Is it worth giving another shot? 'Cause everyone was like, "OMG SO INNOVATIVE" and I was like, "No?"

But then, I am a big whore for even semi-watchable TV, so. (Especially during hiatus, woe.)

I quite like Eureka -- I mean, it's not fantastic or the most creative television I've ever seen, but it's fun! And even when I found the show itself was only passably entertaining, Colin Ferguson is incredibly charming and adorable, and reminds me a great deal of Joe Flanigan, so it's basically hopeless for me. ;)

Hell, it's a long cold lonely December! I'll take it!

*goes to look for download comm*

I tried to watch it to, and the same thing happened! I have all of the episodes on my DVR and on my comp, but they're just waiting there like the elephant in the room (I completely ignore their presence on the DVR because I WANT to like the show, honestly I do, but whenever I go to watch it I get bored halfway through and can barely watch the end.

According to SciFi.com there is a Eureka marathon coming up, so that should help.

SGA! And, uh, Sheppard's wristband thing that he never mentions or takes off!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

GENIUS!

I'm pretty sure they're thinking of doing a series. I mean, they ended up doing it with Battlestar and Painkiller Jane, and this one just begs for a series (I mean there's what, like another 70 objects or so that they haven't even talked about? Plus, he's an object, as in "can't die like the Occupant," but what if his object-ness isn't the same as it was with the Occupant since he was in the room at the time? And he has a daughter, so if he can't age and can't die that's gonna be pretty weird.).

This is what happens when I get going...

I actually got my fiancee to watch it (and the only other SciFi thing he's ever watched was the BSG Mini) and he said he'd watch the series only if Krause was in it. I can see him doing a series, especially since he did Six Feet Under, and maybe Margulies (since she was on ER) but I don't think Elle Fanning would do it since she's got a promising career ahead of her (if you use her sister as the prime example, that is).

I also feel like they left Kreutzfeld completely out there as well. Did he die? Is he trapped like Anna was? Who knows!

I'm sooo over cliffhangers right now, I tell you. I think every single show that I watch (that is currently on hiatus, which is every one except for My Boys, on TBS) ended with a cliffhanger and will not be returning for 3-4 weeks, during which time I won't even have classes to distract me since finals are this week, and damn, I definitely should be studying.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble! I always get ahead of myself...
