The DOME - - season 2

[Dave (imported)]

I fell asleep shortly after the episode ended.

Episode 11 - BLACK ICE

Things are happening fast and furious now.

The egg is in peril. The dome is in peril. The townsfolk we know and love are in peril.

Peril, peril, doom, doom.

funky physics

Two more episodes to sort things out and tie up the end of year two.

Episode 12 - (damn I don't remember the title)

It's an exciting episode as the inhabitants of Chester's Mills try to find a way to live or escape or do something but stay UNDER THE DOME.

People die, too - - - - knife in the back, blood dripping off paintings, all sorts of swirling (no, not a toilet) sucking holes.

Three eyed aliens and five toed sloths.

An echidna

and lots of fun.

(PS, I lied about some of that)

I watched about 15 minutes of one episode of under the dome, what can I say.

I lasted about three episodes into the dome then gave up on it as Stephen King is not my cup of tea.

I believe science fiction should have at least some sort of toehold on reality, even an alternative reality as per The Matrix to be worthwhile. This thing just thrashes around generating more "twists" as if the author himself does not know where it is going.

I have only one thing to say tonight. As goes Clackmannanshire, so goes Scotland or so I've been told. But since I neither live there or vote there. It's a trivial thought. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clackmannanshire

AS for Stephen King, I always found him much less fantastical and more grounded in human sins than something like THE MATRIX or STAR WARS or STAR TREK. Or Godzilla in its many incarnations. It's all in what you like to see on TV or in the movies or read in books.

Personally, I think every teenager should be forced to declaim HOWL from their rooftops (in their undies) once in their rebellious little lives.

The UNDER THE DOME tv version of the book is not Stephen King but a group of writers who created episodes where there were none and then had to "create a second year" out of whole fabric. That's why there is all the running to and from, up and down, through the dome and back inside this year.

A sure sign of writers flailing to get a working plot from too many ideas.

Now there's two episodes of SPARTACUS on and although SyFy cut all the sex scene, the blood is still there.

What a sad, sick commentary on SyFy

Season 2 - Episode 13 - - "Go Now"

In the book, Big Jim is a drug baron with an evil streak. He's back in form for this episode.

That's it. No more spoilers.

Does anyone remember Carol Burnett's AS THE STOMACH TURNS satire?

Jesus (our member Jesus) reminds me that I had the title wrong. I fixed it.

This new season - - Season three just premiered last night.

Episode 7 --

Remember, that I once said that sex in a story is problematic. It has to belong in the story or it becomes the story? (I think I said something like that) ...

well one of the characters tried a seduction. There's been this storyline of seduction in order to induce brainwashing. It just made the episode go deep into the well of stupid as to ruin what should have been a grand dramatic story element.

If anyone remembers the first season and "Pink Stars Are Falling" that is answered and explained in this episode. IT should be exciting. Instead, sex turned it stupid.

I think I might throw things at the TV.

I watched 30 seconds, walked to a wall and started beating my head in frustration at the awful writing and storyline.

I Don't effing care bout spoilers here -- the creepy blond villain alien woman (I forget her name) projected the meteor strike on the dome.

It wasn't real.

That, in writing terms, is called a pile of steaming road cakes.
