Today's column was a coin flip between the "HIMYM" Super Bowl rant and reviewing Sci-Fi's new miniseries "The Lost Room," which is quite a lot of weird fun. The short version, as I don't have much time even now: Peter Krause is a cop who stumbles upon a key that can open any door and transport him into a strange motel room, and the key in turn leads him to a series of other "objects" (a microwave-blasting pen, a comb that can freeze time, a teleporting bus ticket) that a variety of whackos and do-gooders (including Kevin Pollak, Dennis Christopher, Roger Bart and Julianna Margulies) are trying to collect.
I haven't seen the third and final installment (and EW says it falls apart there), but for the first two-thirds, at least, it's a very clever, involving bit of skiffy. Check it out if you're so inclined.
