But it sounds like a similar circumstance. It is one of the weaknesses of television. A great, innovative idea comes along but they feel the need to package it in a way to make it a simple commodity. To wrap it up with a little bow so it's all easily digestible. But good stories don't always work that way. <BR/><BR/>I think a big part of why I still enjoy "Nowhere Man" is because it's a show that makes you uncomfortable. This same quality probably factored into it being canned after one season.Hebdomeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156133463666500445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-15841063968747143282007-06-06T14:03:00.000-04:002007-06-06T14:03:00.000-04:00This reminds me of Sci-Fi's recent mini-series "Th...This reminds me of Sci-Fi's recent mini-series "The Lost Room." The show centers around a cop who finds a key at a crime scene which opens a door to a room that has been disconnected from space and time. He loses his daughter in the room, and proceeds to find out all he can in order to bring her back, including discovering that "something terrible" happened in this hotel room in the 50s or 60s, and now every object from the room is imbued with its own power. I was really into the show until the end, which was basically comprised of a hasty wrap-up (for the main antagonist) and unanswered questions (for the premise of the show). Supposedly, this was done in order to facilitate the creation of a full-fledged series, but as a viewer I felt betrayed. Although I realize the monetary agenda behind TV shows, and the desire to create a niche market in order to continue writing the intriguing material people are searching for, as a writer, I find it insulting that they did not take the time to compose a better send-off point.Lady Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802847280378239621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-3904870541834180012007-05-16T09:04:00.000-04:002007-05-16T09:04:00.000-04:00I saw a couple of episodes a few years ago back wh...I saw a couple of episodes a few years ago back when Maryland Public Television used to run the Prisoner. I remember liking what I saw, but I don't really remember much more than that. I've got it on my Netflix que, but it's gonna be awhile. I'm on the one-at-a-time plan and the Prisoner hits somewhere around 80 in my que. Someday, though.Hebdomeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156133463666500445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-87379088289696843682007-05-15T10:37:00.000-04:002007-05-15T10:37:00.000-04:00Wow, if you like this, definitely check out the Pr...Wow, if you like this, definitely check out the Prisoner - so weird and well done.
