Did anyone watch that mess the other night? Were they trying to be all Matix like about it and just aren't that good a writer(s)? I assume that was the point, but the end result left a lot to be desired.
It was already losing me a bit last season, if the next episode doesn't make a lot more sense, I'm done.

Other people in my house are still watching it, so I'll be seeing it or in the vicinity of it anyway.
I read the book, we lost it a long time ago. Which is fine, but where can they possibly go with it after a while?

I'll give it a little more time since there isn't much else on to watch but they better start stepping up their game & tying it together. |

Oh, I know it deviated from the book right off, that doesn't bother me, but come on! At some point, things have to get really bad, work out or just get stupid. I'm afraid we're heading for stupid fast. |

I never watched Lost, didn't think it'd be interesting.  I think the problem the writers here have is they think they're as good as Stephen King at creating understandable confusion and tying it all back together. They're not. I hope they get that soon. |

That is one of the threads they lost. I'll admit there were some dropped balls but I still enjoyed it. |

Under the Dome is nothing like the book. Waste of time.

It was never intended to be exactly like the book, and they had King's blessing to take it their own way.

I have to agree on the season premiere. It was so all over the place and made no sense. I do hope it gets better. I haven't watched this week's yet.
I loved the 1st season but also felt it lost something in season 2.
But as CL knows once I start a show I am loyal to the end.

Very true, Icey, you are very loyal. Let me know how this week's episode was. I didn't bother.

This week's episode was better. It made more sense & was more like we are used to. Big Jim trying to control the town while Julia & Barby look for answers.

That sounds uninteresting. Except for the making sense part, that would be nice. |

Well I was keeping it vague. I didn't want to spoil it for anyone who wanted to get caught up. It was fairly anticlimactic.

I just meant more of the same old same old. Time to move it forward, even if you write yourself out of a job. |

PS I don't like seeing Marg Helgenberger in a villainous role, I am so used to her being good (CSI). |

I just got back from vacation on Sunday. I don't go back to work until Tuesday so I watched the first two episodes of the season today. I am extremely unimpressed. I almost stopped watching it last season but became intrigued with idea that they might get out of the dome. Not sure I will continue to watch. There are too many good shows I need to catch up on to waste my time. I would also rather spend my time reading the book.
Oh, and Under the Dome is nothing like Lost to me!
