I agree. The book's timeline is only a week. How much more of the story can they stretch out? I bailed before the finale last season but I will stick around this thread for the funny comments.

With everyone bailing on the series, there won't be any comments, funny or otherwise, to read in this thread.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
Ugh I told myself i wasn't going to tune in this year since last year was horrible, however, considering i'm not watching much this summer i might give it a chance. I'm sure I'm going to hate myself for that decision.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
Oh, I'll definitely be watching off the DVR at some point. The only thing that would actually bother me is if the show actually improved from comically awful to just another crappy network drama.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
Okay, so I finally finished season 1 via Amazon Prime.
Yeah the acting on this series is pretty bad and sometimes way over the top (Dean Norris specifically). It wasn't unwatchable. But, I don't get way most in this forum lost their shit with the cliffhanger? We all know that Barbie won't die. Was everyone here really that pissed that this got a 2nd season? The show is filmed months in advance before it airs on CBS. Even with the renewal announcement for a 2nd season midway through airing, it's not like they were making things up to stretch this show out. The finale was filmed at least 2 months before it aired. From what I understood this was a very loose adaptation of King's book. The Pink Stars in the Sky must have some major significance for the second season. In the timeline of season 1 (13 episodes), they mentioned a few times that only 2 weeks had passed since the dome dropped. :shrug: The show isn't realtime, but it seems feasible to me that only a short period of time has passed and season 2 is still in that timeframe. |

I finally watched season one so I am ready for season two. If the female cop was any dumber she would be promoted to the FBI and be on The Following.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
I think most of us lost our shit because there was not supposed to be a cliffhanger. This was originally announced as a 13 episode miniseries. Once that changed there seemed to be lots of fluff.

Some articles called this show a "Limited Series", which people assume means 1 and done. However, a lot of TV networks say it just means limited episodes like a cable order of 10-13 and not 22-24 episodes. |
Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
It would have worked so much better as a one shot 13 episode season. I was looking forward to that for months last year. Then they made all those changes from the book (and not in any real way for the better) that I couldn't really get past four or five episodes before I quit b/c the show was just so stupid. The last episode I watched was when the truck barreled into the water tower.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS

5 minutes and already any hope for Intelligence is gone.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
Will catch it in a few days on Amazon ... do not have high hopes.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
Awesome opening sequence.
:rip: Linda. Crappy way to go. Getting crushed to death by an SUV. |
Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
-eek-
Holy Shit :rip: Angie as well. That was unexpected. So they killed off 2 regulars from season 1, Big Jim grows a conscience and Stephen King makes a cameo ordering a cup of coffee. Oh and Junior's Mom is apparently still alive. The magnetic pulse sequence was pretty darn cool if you ask me. The special effects were pretty impressive, but they probably blew most of their Special FX budget on that sequence alone. I thought it was pretty entertaining first episode. Like or hate the show, IMO it's never boring. |
Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
Linda died as she lived... a moron.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
We had tornado warnings so the local station interrupted the show saying it will re-air on Wednesday night.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS
I did enjoy the "Attack of the Kitchen Appliances" scene, but that's about it.
I love how this show introduces new characters that no one seems to have noticed before...then again, the prologue said the dome has only been up two weeks, so I guess that's acceptable. Did everyone notice the monument outside of Junior's mom's apartment was the same as the one in the snow globe in Junior's dream? At least they've finally shown someone OUTSIDE the Dome...I was hoping they'd eventually do that. So I guess Angie's really dead? I knew Linda's character was being killed off, but didn't know about Angie. I guess on this show, you can always come back and haunt Big Jim. :) |
Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS

Under the Dome was down from last season, but still had the highest ratings of the entire night. Actually it's the first time CBS won the Monday at 10pm timeslot since last summer IIRC. |
