The Lost Room

I watched the first part last night, and it was very good. Intriguing, and for all the supernatural shit going on, very realistic. Plus, who can miss anything with anyone from the Six Feet Under cast:

"The Sci Fi Channel’s ambitious three-part miniseries "The Lost Room" definitely isn’t aimed at viewers who have trouble suspending their disbelief. No, this twisty tale debuting tonight at 9 p.m. is designed for fantasy buffs who never missed an episode of "The X-Files." But as even non–sci-fi enthusiasts will appreciate, "The Lost Room" boasts an ace cast headed by Peter Krause and Julianna Margulies.

"Krause plays Joe Miller, a Pittsburgh homicide detective who becomes the owner of a magical motel room key. The key opens any door with a keyhole and leads to the mysterious Room 10 at the Sunshine Motel on Route 66. As the convoluted, way-out-there plot unfolds, Miller learns that the key is just one of more than 100 objects that were in the room on a day in 1961 when an extraordinary event occurred there.

"All the objects have special powers. A comb allows its owner to become invisible, a pen electrocutes people, and a bus ticket transports its holder to Gallup, New Mexico (where the motel is located). The key is considered perhaps the most valuable object of all, so numerous "object collectors" hope to wrest it from Miller."

I can't wait to watch part 2 and 3 later this week!
