The House that Los Built

The choppy run that Daisies has had surely has wrecked its ability to build up any significant following, but I have a feeling that the real culprit is the concept of the ongoing series. In the end, I think it might have fared better had it been sold to viewers (and therefore planned) with a foreseeable end. The premise doesn't feel like one that could productively continue indefinitely; Ned is going to have to come to terms with whatever is keeping him from embracing life at some point, and then what happens to Chuck? I'm cranky, though, that we aren't likely to see that ending; if they've completed filming the 13 eps, but are waiting to see if they'll be picked up, then it may be that we never get a resolution or we get one that is utterly unsatisfying.

I was just getting warmed to LoM as well; I really like the cast (with the exception of the blonde policewoman--too "squeaky clean"). The show felt odd for US television, but that made it endearing--and expendable.
