Under the Dome-CBS

and lesbian couple is so dumb?

The whole lesbian couple is so contrived and annoying it's really agitating. They were the worst parents, really ever, and you can tell that everything about their character screams that they should begreatparents. However, they have to constantly fuck up, despite obviously being well educated and responsible, so the show can have them interact with as many people as possible so the writers can raise the moral superiority flag instantly whenever someone is confused. It's hilarious.

If this is the way the book was, then it's like King doesn't even make characters anymore. He just writes ideological positions and has them brush up against people that will oppose them so King can write a speech about how dumb and wrong the opposing view is. But just to pound it home, he makes sure those "opposing" characters are so cliche, and bad, that no one could sympathize with them.

The Book has a bit of that with Barbie vs Renny but no this series and the book really only have the dome and character names in common.

I was already losing interest in this show weeks ago, but it wasn't until they announced they were changing it from being 1 season to adding a 2nd that I completely lost interest. As many have already pointed out it was boring to begin with but I figured I could endure it just to see how it played out but its just not worth the effort.

Who would even watch this show past episode 3 to be honest, actors are awful and cliche, writing is horrible and dull and the main plot is as exciting as watching ants eating leaves.

man this show sucks so bad, why did you take this job Hank, why why why

because he is unemployed otherwise? plus its a big hit depite it being a pos. go hank.

and the redhead journalist is melting hot

it is silly how good this show is doing, most weeks it has been in the top 3 in rating and total viewers.
but isn't like there is anything else on normal tv right now

I've seen every episode, including last week's season finale. It wasn't bad.
The story is completely different than the book at this point. The show consists of almost nothing but "filler" content, just like how Anime does that over its Manga counterpart.

Good stuff.

Ya, the intentions of the creators in the show is a complete 180 from the book.

I DVR this show, watch it with my bro and we both enjoy it. Yes, it uses cliche plot twists and every episode ends with a cliffhanger but we watch i knowing that and it is okay. Isn't that what made Lost a great show? I think Dean Norris is a good actor and if you like him then you should just watch it for that reason. I think it is okay that it is different from the book because I never read it anyway.

The most recent episode was good. "The stars are falling in lines."

The wife and I had nothing to watch so we watched the whole season in the last week or so. It's really really bad, but it's better than nothing anyway.

The police chief woman is the worst police officer in the world. "What's that you say Jim? You're a gigantic drug dealer? Oh that's bad... What? Barbie killed someone?! OK I"LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT! Even though he has saved lives, it must be true. Let's go shoot at him without and evidence."

Or the fucking truck driver hitting the fucking water tower. WHY ARE YOU DELIVERING?

Two random dudes just run around and rape/murder people no problem.

Fucking diner has a shit load of food and coffee.

Ok, what? A Riot? YEAH RIOT. Oh rain. Let's hug and clean up.

Old ass farmer guy has the only source of water? Oh fuck. What's that you won't share? Yup you're not going to reate problems here.

Police officer woman and other women sick with a disease and they don't know each other? They kind of remember her as a teacher? I thought this shit was a small town.

Fucking lol. I enjoyed watching this show and picking out all the retarded scenes and details. How can you write this shit?

i dont even remember any of that stuff happening in the book. i mean i read the book in a week and have been trying to forget it ever since so i guess its possible i forgot all that. though i think i would have remembered female cops and dudes driving into water towers

The show has a hot red head, so I forgive it a lot of things.

The show has a lot of problems. But I watch a lot of TV and most nights I feel like there is nothing on. Its like sleeping with someone who has a lot of problems but you do it anyways because you want to get laid. That is the best analogy to why I watch Under the Dome that I can come up with. And the red heads.

the jim in the book is super racist. like a KKK racist caricature, yet hes a criminal genius.

Dome's still up, Julia's still hot.

They're getting more supernatural already. Less science driven that the previous season had to some degree.

I do tire of crazy Big Jim though.
