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.

I didn't mind so much that it was open ended; there is the possibility of a series if it does well (http://www.broadcastingcable.com/blog/1380000138/post/470005847.html). I just enjoyed the time spent watching it, very reminiscent of The Twilight Zone (which also often didn't have neat endings). I don't agree that nothing happened, though; Joe has essentially sold his soul to the devil (murder) and committed himself to a lifetime of involvement with the motel room and all the obsessed people that go along with it, in order to save his daughter. Previously he's always thought "I'll just get her back, then throw away the key and walk away from all this insanity." Never going to happen now.
