Lost Room

Mistwell said:
Yeah you are probably right. The eye may well be in the room.

Since he replaces the occupant, I wonder if items he had on him, like his gun, are now "Objects".
I wondered that myself, it was mirky in the end. It felt like the last half hour was a pilot for the show as opposed to the ending for the mini-series. There were so many unanswered questions. The main plot was solved somewhat. Where did she go. What did he mean by multiple rooms. What was that at the end.

It feels like thhis miniseries was designed to be a jump start for some good future campaigns.

My wife and I really liked this series - I hadn't expected to like it as much, but it was well written and well acted, and was pretty gripping at times. Good job, SF!

But it does seem to be set up for another series - we've got the 'prophet', we've got the new occupant, we've got the question of some of the missing objects, and we've got the contents of the vault.
 

I liked that they had a clear cut purpose of getting the child back and they ended with that basically. Sure, they didn't solve everything but the main plot line was dealt with.

And man that Quarter would be a lot of fun!! :D
 

Of course, he can't escape the objects now. He's one of them. And if the Prophet has his way, ALL the objects have to be returned to the room.

Including yon ex-policeman. I wonder what he "does." He didn't seem tormented outside the room like the original Occupant.

When he left the room he paused and it seemed to me he heard what the other guy was talking about. But th orginal Occupant had many decades to go crazy, so our new guy should still be sane for a while.

Which isn't even possible now. The key is in the room, and the only way to get to the room is with the key. This makes going to the room impossible now.
 


Room 8 opened onto room 10 with the key on the floor, yeah.

Sure wish Joe'd gotten at least a bit more info from the Occupant.

Overall, the writing was just fantastic. They didn't over-explain stuff, they just showed things and let you put the pieces together, unlike so many shows these days. I really loved that, it made it much more effective and interesting.

There are a few theories we may get from this. (all of them may be complete crap of course)

The prophet can access the room regardless of a key or no key
The occupant can always access the room.
The room will find a way to correct this flaw.
We don't know what the other items do or several items in conjunction with one another.
I might be wrong in rewriting the overall plot for my upcoming steampunk campaign to blend in with the lost room.
