because you always need more television

Because the Sci-Fi Channel is doing a marathon today, I would like to second David Hewlett's ramble about its new original miniseries The Lost Room.

Holy wow. I too could've gone another thousand hours with Peter Krause in search of his daughter through a warp in the fabric of the universe. It's a little bit scary and a lot anticipation - which the pacing just adds to tremendously - and we may have begged off a home-cooked meal early to run home and watch the conclusion Wednesday night. It's smart, strange, with moments or levity but tied together with the drama of the lost little girl, and has Kevin Pollak.

All three episodes (though there's amorphous hope for more!) air starting 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time (or check your listings here). Seriously guys, excellent television.
