The Lost Room

Anyone out there had seen The Lost Room? I copied it from a colleague of mine for the sake of copying and left it lying there in my HDD. Last weekend, I was extremely bored as I've gotta take care of Hero and that's how I ended up watching the 1st episode of this 3 episode mini-series by the Sci-Fi Channel.

This show is about how a once typical room at a 1960s motel along U.S. Route 66, having been the site of "the Event", the Room now exists outside of normal time and space. The show's protagonist, Joe Miller, is searching for these objects to rescue his daughter, Anna, who has disappeared inside the Room. Hundreds of everyday objects such as key, specs, pen, etc attained special powers as a result of "the Event".

I was hooked on the show after finishing the 1st episode. By 11pm the same day, I couldn't resist the urge further and started on the 2nd episode. I followed that with the 3rd and final episode, finally finishing the entire series at about 4am and went to work with barely 3hrs' sleep! You can imagine how hooking the show was to me to cause me to want to lose sleep over it. After completion, I still keep thinking about it such as which object would I love to have and how would I use it :p

For sure, I'd love to have the "Key". Imagine being able to have Tim Sum in Hong Kong at 9am before being back at my desk at 930am to continue doing work as usual. Spaghetti for lunch along the Grand Canal in Venice, back in the office by 2pm. After work, pop over to Taipei's Shilin Night Market for a walk and grab a bite of the XXL Chicken Chop. I did consider how and what would I do with the pen... come to think of it, having the pen and using it is akin to murder. So I guess I'd just keep it from anyone's hands.

I was telling Mich about it but she only knows how to pour cold H2O... GRrrrrrrrr
