comment
The Lost Room is a miniseries that aired on Syfy in late 2006.Detective Joe Miller (Peter Krause) is your standard police detective, recently divorced, fighting to keep custody of his daughter Anna (Elle Fanning), and currently working the case of two lightly-singed men being embedded into the walls of an antique store. Said men were fighting with a group of armed thugs over a motel room key that can open a door to anywhere as long as you're willing to walk through the same motel room every time. This is, obviously, a key people are willing to spend millions of dollars on and take countless lives for. Soon, Miller learns of the Objects, a collective of over a hundred other artifacts, each with their own powers (some very strong like the Key and some complete duds like the Bus Ticket that dumps you onto a highway outside of Gallup, New Mexico), all originating from that motel room, and all being vied over by separate groups.

Artifact of Attraction: The Objects have a... knack... for making people covet them. Murderously so. Admittedly, some of them are so powerfully useful that they justify this sort of behavior.

Skeleton Key: The Key can open any lock as long as it's broadly the same type of lock, even though it shouldn't. And while it doesn't technically open to the other side, just the Room, the user can nevertheless enter or leave virtually any locked room they please as long as they can use the Key on it.

Nigh-Invulnerability: The Occupant is a living Object, and like all other Objects he can't be damaged. Joe unwittingly uses the Coat, A known object with unknown abilities, as a makeshift bulletproof vest. It stops shotgun pellets just fine, without a thread out of place, but still transfers the force into Joe's body.

Wrong Genre Savvy: Joe just walks into an encounter with the holder of the Scissors, thinking their ability to rotate is another useless power. He's nearly killed as a result. There's also a funny moment early on where one of Montague's cronies (who is well aware of the Objects' powers) wonders what Joe's gun does.

The reset also acts as a Chekhov's Boomerang: while the reset is usually used to get an Object out of a safe, or separate it from a group of non-Objects, it's also used to get the fingerprint of one of the Collectors.

Chekhov's Gun: Kreutzfeld has sliding doors in every single part of his house, preventing infiltration via The Key. But then Joe sees he bought his son a playhouse for his birthday... Also counts as Nice Job Fixing It, Villain. Wally mentions in the first episode that there's always a price to be paid when using the Objects. Early on it seems that it's just being put in danger for simply having a powerful Object, and Anna being taken by the Room. The whole "price" detail is ignored from that point onwards until it's picked up by the Occupant himself, at the tail end of the final episode, and it's a lot more dire.

Plot-Sensitive Snooping Skills
 The Lost Room / int_2b12851f
comment
Plot-Sensitive Snooping Skills: Much is made of the Objects' potential significance, what might happen if they're destroyed or reunited with the Room, and what happened in the Room. Despite the Photo and especially the Glass Eye, it's comparatively late in the story before anyone stops and considers whose Room it was. In an interesting, if questionable, fashion, this is something of an Enforced Trope. The Occupant has no desire to be found, and he willfully repelled anybody in possession of an Object, and only the Sood had tracked the Objects' movements long enough for any kind of pattern to be detected. The Wedding Photo and the Polaroid never being shown to anybody else before Joe asked about them definitely helped.

Cursed with Awesome
 The Lost Room / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: Merely possessing an Object will mess up your life. Besides people fighting over the Objects, many of them have terrible side effects, and the possessors tend to become increasingly paranoid and dysfunctional the longer they own one. The Objects "call out to each other," tending to bring people who possess them into the lives of each other. This can be used by one person to track other objects. Knowing that person with the Pen and/or the Glass Eye could just walk up to you, kill you, and take your Object is a very disconcerting thought to have to live with.

Time Stands Still: The Comb has this power — if you run it through your hair, it stops time for roughly ten seconds. Inside of the Room itself, time appears to be stopped, with the window always showing what is probably 1:20 PM, the time the Event occurred.

Blessed with Suck
 The Lost Room / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: Most Objects do random things that would only be interesting at parties. Even the genuinely useful ones seem to bring more misery than anything else to their owners, so there's two distinct subtypes of this trope present. The Bus Pass drops anyone who touches it just outside Gallup, New Mexico. Wally uses it to banish people he doesn't like. The Comb allows you to stop time for up to 10 seconds, allowing for you to dodge bullets or find a hiding place. It also freezes everything else in place, making it so that you can't physically have any effect on anything around you during those 10 seconds (no opening doors, taking things out of people's hands, etc.) and causes motion sickness with each use (this is said by its primary holder to be lessened if you remember to stop and stand still right before time resumes). There are also Objects with unknown or forgotten uses. They can only be useful in the fact that they're indestructible. The Coat, for example, doesn't seem to do anything, but can be used as a bullet-proof vest. Getting shot in the area covered by the coat will hurt, but won't kill you. The Pencil makes pennies when you tap it, which could lead you to become rich. However, in order to get a large amount of money out of it, you would have to tap it so many times it would probably drive you mad (which happened to at least one of its owners, who eventually killed himself). The Glass Eye is a highly powerful weapon, capable of flinging/disintegrating people and healing wounds. But to use it, you have to replace one of your own eyes with it. The Occupant no longer ages and is invincible outside the Room, but he gets headaches from being near other Objects, his wife no longer remembers him, and he no longer legally exists, so he ends up in a mental hospital, presumably for life. All of the Objects have minds, but only the Occupant is sentient. So the Occupant can be driven insane and have severe headaches from the mental static caused by the Objects.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Most of the "bad guys" are this, but Kreutzfeld in particular seems to truly care about his son, and even Joe. Although he betrays Joe when it benefits him. Kreutzfeld lets the Weasel live, although has his men beat him. Kreutzfeld tells Jennifer that he'll let her live if she doesn't interfere with him, when killing her (as he's killed others) would make things easier for him.

Gold Fever: Dr. Ruber's character to a T, just substitute "Magical Key" for "Gold." Pretty much everyone wants the Key, but usually in some sort of scheme to get another object. Kreutzfeld seems to be obsessed with the Glass Eye more than of the objects needed to bring his son back from the dead. Montague seems equally obsessed with the Pen, but he probably just enjoys what it does to people.

Crazy-Prepared: When Joe and the Weasel head to Kreutzfeld's home to acquire the Clock, Joe assumes that the door missing from the blueprints upstairs was merely walled over. Not only is he correct, but he also assumes that its knob will have been removed; he brought a power drill and a new doorknob with him to install in the door itself. Didn't think to buy a drill that was cordless though. Joe borrows the Bus Ticket from Wally, in case he needs to teleport away. He does.

Not What It Looks Like: Ruber asks Miller to see the Key; when Miller won't give it up, Ruber shoots his partner and threatens to kill Miller for it. Miller knocks him out with the Nail File and goes to take his gun from his prone body, which is when Ruber's wife walks into the room. All she sees is Miller standing over the corpse of Destefano and (possibly) her husband, forcing Miller to flee.

Affably Evil: Kreutzfeld will do anything to get his son back, healthy, including having his men shoot Joe with a shotgun. But when he has to, he negotiates and seems sincere. Kreutzfeld does appear conflicted: he saves Joe from falling to his death (and taking the Key Kreutzfeld needs from Joe's corpse), but later after Joe saves his life, leaves Joe to a much more painful and prolonged death.

Sequel Hook: At the end of the miniseries, Joe throws the Key into the Room to keep it out of everyone's reach, then drives away with Anna and Jennifer. Only for the camera to pan back to the door to Room 8 (the door Joe used to access the Room) and for the door to open, revealing the Room and the Key inside. Almost makes you wish the miniseries went to full series just to see what happens next.

Portal Door: The key temporarily turns doors into this. Using the key in a door connects the door to the Room until the door is closed. From inside the room, the door can lead to any hinged door the user thinks of.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: While Wally's not usually judicious about using his ticket, he does seem to use it at least once to stop a bunch of guys from fighting. He then sends a teenage girl to just outside Gallup because she was mocking his bowling game.

Left Hanging
 The Lost Room / int_80b5924
comment
Left Hanging: The miniseries was intended to serve as a pilot for a show that never made it into production. Joe gets his daughter back, but apart from that pretty much every plot thread is left dangling. Is Joe now an Object? Does he clear his name? What happens to Kreutzfeld, Ruber, Weasel, and the cabals? The promised comic continuation may answer these questions, if it ever materializes.

Black-and-Gray Morality
 The Lost Room / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: The series operates on this trope. Many players in the object conflict are well-intentioned extremists, at least from their own point of view. the Legion wants to rid humanity of the Objects and the evil they've indirectly caused, and The Order of Reunification believes collecting the Objects is the only way to contact God. Others are in it for their own personal use: Joe wants to bring his daughter back from the Room, Karl Kreutzfeld wants to use the objects to resurrect his dead son and the Weasel is just a Chaotic Neutral.

In an interesting, if questionable, fashion, this is something of an Enforced Trope. The Occupant has no desire to be found, and he willfully repelled anybody in possession of an Object, and only the Sood had tracked the Objects' movements long enough for any kind of pattern to be detected. The Wedding Photo and the Polaroid never being shown to anybody else before Joe asked about them definitely helped.

Weirdness Censor: Despite having been around for 40 years, having caused countless deaths, and having several organizations dedicated to tracking / collecting them, the media, the authorities, and the general public seem completely oblivious to the existence of the Objects. Very little is said as to whether an actual Masquerade is in effect; in fact, Wally seems outright annoyed that Joe doesn't know about the other Objects yet. Joe, Ruber, and Det. Bridgewater all work for the police department, but never get their higher-ups involved for various reasons. All that being said, it's no small wonder the government hasn't swooped down and locked everything up for scientific (or military) research.

Pretty much everyone wants the Key, but usually in some sort of scheme to get another object.

Montague seems equally obsessed with the Pen, but he probably just enjoys what it does to people.

Enhance Button: Jennifer Bloom is looking at footage of the Conroy Experiment, where she zooms in and enhances on a scan of a copy of a fifty-year-old film, only to find the Occupant's face in the midst of the chaos. Not only does this not make any sense (the Occupant was miles away in a sanitarium at the time), but that piece of information ultimately affects nothing. And to make it even more annoying? That sequence wasn't in the original script. They added it in while filming.

Shout-Out: Sort of hard to see, but when Joe discovers proof of the Occupant, he talks to a librarian who says he appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be her husband, and he presented her with a photo of their wedding as proof. Similar to the sequence from It's a Wonderful Life when George runs up to Mary in Pottersville, screaming that they're married. The Noodle Incident behind the entire premise of the series bears a close resemblance to The Twilight Zone (1959) episode "And When the Sky Was Opened."

Reset Button
 The Lost Room / int_d9c4365c
comment
Reset Button: How the Room behaves when accessed with the Key. Whenever a tumbler lock is opened with the Key, whatever changes were made to the Room are reset in the following ways: Objects are returned to where and how they were at the time of the Event, and non-Objects are seemingly deleted (actually moved into another iteration of the Room, of which there's countless combinations). This is a big plot point, as Joe's daughter is left inside the Room during one of its resets, and the rest of the miniseries is Joe's attempts to learn how to get her back. The reset also acts as a Chekhov's Boomerang: while the reset is usually used to get an Object out of a safe, or separate it from a group of non-Objects, it's also used to get the fingerprint of one of the Collectors.

Knowledge Broker: There are two of these. Both state that they remain unobtrusive and don't obtain the Objects themselves. Suzie Kang runs a Pittsburgh dry-cleaning shop, and tracks the unrecovered Objects. She deals with anyone, and charges exorbitant prices. Joe, Ruber, and Kreutzfeld all deal with her. The Sood, a bookstore owner in Las Vegas, is introduced later in the mini-series, and appears to work exclusively for Kreutzfeld. He seemingly only tracks Object-related signs, such as the Object combination that opens the vault and the path that the Objects have traveled.

Paranormal Mundane Item

comment
Paranormal Mundane Item: The Objects are perfectly ordinary-seeming items with bizarre and unintuitive powers, like a comb that can stop time, a canteen that causes everyone nearby except its holder to asphyxiate, and a pair of scissors that forcibly turns whatever they point at around any axis. They were originally entirely mundane items that were part of a man's luggage within the titular room when a mysterious Event transformed them, and they have since been disseminated around the world as people fought over them. The Objects are also indestructible, except when inside the Room itself. And even if destroyed in the Room, their power will simply transfer to another object somewhere in the world.

Mundane Utility: The Watch hard boils eggs., and when combined with the Knife, gives "a form of telepathy". Despite the latter function, Kurtzfeld uses it to hard boil eggs.

The exception is the Comb, which when used automatically freezes time for the user when they use it... whether they want it to or not. Word of God is that the comb won't work for bald men, because they have no hair to comb. Joe uses the Coat to protect himself from rain. The Coat protects him from a shotgun blast, because all of the Objects are indestructible.

comment
Mercy Kill: Twice, sort of. The collector trapped in Room 9 was "living," or rather trapped in horrifying agony. When Joe pulled her out and stabilized her with the Comb, she promptly keels over after telling him his daughter is alive. Later, The Occupant begs Joe to kill him, since life outside is hell for him since he can constantly hear / sense every other Object, like a constant drowning noise. Plus, doing so would make Joe an Object and allow him to rescue his daughter. The really scary part? The Occupant doesn't consider himself a person, just an Object with will.

So many Objects fall into this category, it's mind-boggling. The Pencil spawns pennies when you tap the eraser against a solid object; best "get rich" plan ever, if you have the patience. The Bus Pass drops you out of the sky outside of Gallup, NM from anywhere in the world, no tumble lock door required. The Glasses stop combustion, the Flask lets you Vader choke people, and the Watch hard-boils eggs. Anyone of these can be twisted around ala Death Note to achieve some pretty crazy things, even more so when synchronization is in play.

Heroic Neutral: Joe doesn't care so much about the fate of the Objects so long as he gets his daughter back.
