Girl in the fireplace did not, oddly, creep me out. The others did.
Also, I hate Coupling, because I dislike intentionally emotionally uncomfortable situations in TV. There's enough of those in reality for me. :)
It did not resolve because, unlike in empty child and blink, the creepy things were not neutralized. The child got resolved and fixed. The angels got stuck staring at each other. The damn darkness things just have a result of 'run', which is no solution at all.
Ah, but that makes it a plot arc! They will be building from it, and it's a connector, not an unfinished loose thread. Like the random appearances of Rose throughout the season.
As far as Coupling, I actually severely dislike those situations, too, and can't stand run of the mill sitcoms (or even romantic comedies). Coupling overcame that objection entirely by means of sufficient quirk-level of characters, and good writing. The only other relationship sitcom that has measured up for me thus far has been How I Met Your Mother.
plot arc: indeed! And the Rose aspect of it is just fascinating. Unfortunately, the way my brain works, creepy unresolved is problematic for me. *shrug*
