question, can i watch this with my 13 year old daughter?

JayDerek

I remarked last night to someone that Junior seems very much like 'Bobby' from Twin Peaks

I know you can only do so much in going from a book to adaptation, but he seemed to go zero to crazy much too quickly

At least in the pilot there was gore and a sex scene, network rated of course. So it depends.

Being American I would probably watch it with my 13 year old daughter if that's all the sex they will show.

Rob V

If I recall correctly, from the book, Junior

FYI,

The Pilot will re-air Sunday at 9pm in case you missed it and don't have Amazon Prime.

Wait...you mean Brit Robertson isn't gonna make it!?!?!

thanks, i might have to watch ahead of time and see what's what..

Really solid ratings for a summer drama (3.2 demo, 13.14m viewers).

Wait there are pages? Shiiiiiitttt. In honor of the videogame console launches, I'm xposting this in the Mad Men thread.

Fielding Mellish

So... why is Samantha Mathis uncredited in this?

dex14

I saw her name in the credits.

And she still looks mighty fine to me.

Deftones

Rachel Lefevre is better

Draven

Yeah, Mathis was a "guest star" or something like that.

There certainly isn't anything worse than a pg-13 movie. There was a "just finishing" sex scene, if that would make you/her uncomfortable, but nothing graphic.

DeadLamb

I did not even recognize her at first.. Also after the first ep I'm guess her role is one of yelling "Let me out of here!" for the entire season.

as for the show running for a few season, I guess if they can turn Prison Break into a show that doesn't even have them in a prison anymore then you can work a dome city into a few seasons.

and much like how I called Prison Break just throwing them back into some dump water prison, you can also "dome" some other city if they really have too... would be pretty funny if every CBS show had a dome ep next season, that's not going to happen of course but would be interesting..

Sondheim

As I was reading the book, one of my predictions about the ending was that the dome would inexplicably disappear only to land on some other city. It would be somewhat funny if every season of the show involved some other town getting "domed" (though that would also get old really quickly.)

If this show can keep in the mid-2s in demos, I am sure CBS would be very happy especially for a 10pm show which went up against Hockey.
It takes a lot of money and promotion to launch any show so I can understand why networks want to squeeze every bit of a hit they can and not have it end when it can keep going. Most new shows fail but when one is a hit, you want to be able to keep it going for the syndication/DVD sales, etc.

My question is ... can the people dig below the ground to tunnel outside the dome?
I wouldn't mind seeing this in a cold weather location if it gets another season/location.

In the book...

Check that. You can now watch on online for free at CBS.com.

Flatlander

Not sure if you want to read the spoiler below but the writer said they would answer that in episode 2.

TGM

completely missed this... but looks like they are re-airing the pilot on Sunday night.

Shannon Nutt

I should have know that since this is on CBS, Junior wouldn't


Don't like the changes to Barbie...the new twist about the husband of the reporter (who was single in the book) seems lame.

They changed the Christian radio station to a rock station for no apparent reason.

The two kids that had seizures

I don't remember Alisha Hinds character (or her two kids) from the novel at all...am I just forgetting them?

I DID like Dean Norris...good casting there. I liked that when we first saw him he was reading a Churchill book.

Still not sure about this series...it doesn't look like it's going to have either the body count or the dark sense of humor the novel did.

adamblast

Presumably so they can use the radio station the way they always use radio stations in hour-longs: Hip DJs commenting obliquely on the action; dialog-free song montages to extend the runtime while still feeling like they're adding depth.

The first episode is also available on Demand under the Free On Demand section if your cable company offers that.
