The SECOND season of THE DOME will appear in a month or 6 weeks.
It is set "after" the book. The ending of the original book was changed on the TV show to permit a second season and a third season.
I'll watch a few episodes without being cynical.

If you turn your television set upside down it will "...bowl you over..."
Dammit! Andrew, are you out there somewhere?

Re: 'Under The Dome' Ratings
Revolution finally got cancelled.
Dome is over due too.
Both had great concepts and suffered from cheap, trite scripts.

Don'tchyawish "they" would pay for some good script writers.

Re: 'Under The Dome' Ratings
This is the "Non-Book" year of THE DOME.
Last season ended the book. I know. I've read the book and it's over. The big dramatic ending of the book was not the scaffold and hanging of "cute blond muscle-guy hero" but that the drug dealers were going to fire all that propane and burn the oxygen inside the dome thus suffocating the inhabitants of the town. The four teenagers were the heroes by convincing the aliens kids (who were teens playing with daddy and mommy's new toy dome) to drop the dome and save them. Instead the writers focused on "cute blond muscle guy's" hanging and not the fall of the dome.
This coming season is all new and although Stephen King has helped with the stories of the new season, I worry. TV writing is notoriously awful and series producers and executives are utterly bereft of book learning' and good literature.
And thus. . .
Story extensions such as these often lose their way and devolve into tedium and silliness.
One warning sign of the "end of the world" is that we are going to start to have interactions between the people inside the dome and the people outside the dome. It can be fatal to think that a story can go back to the beginning and tell the outside story of the dome. Its rare to take a story written by the likes of Stephen King and fill in the backstory even with his help. I suspect that King turned over his notes or thoughts about the backstory to aid the writers. That, however, doesn't guarantee success.
