Under The Dome [CBS - US] [** Spoilers **] (Warning in OP)

I liked it.. but wonder if there should be a book spoilers thread, or at least a concerted effort to tag book spoilers? Because I can already see how different it is from the book, and I imagine people will start to comment the specific differences and speculate on future events based on book knowledge.

pretty decent start, a lot of interesting characters and lot of storylines set-up that should fill out a 13 episode season nicely,

i was surprised they killed off the sheriff so early in it, and there really seems to be something very sinister about dean norris councilman character, and his son is probably even worse it looks,

Excellent! Anyone else feel there was a real sense of Jericho to it?

woo havn't seen it yet but I was hoping it would have a Jericho feel to it! :cool:

Good start, would have loved a double episode to open. Channel 5 have the UK rights for it, not sure if RTÉ will pick it up for here or not.

Yep, enjoyed this..

.. plenty of familiar faces and set the show up nicely.

Will definitely watch more.

Guess Aunt Zelda can't use magic in there either.

Yeah, girlfriend mentioned "look how old she's gotten" in passing..

.. but to be fair, Sabrina The Teenage Witch began over 15 years ago now.

I feel so old!

So I wasn't the only that researched the Sabrina actresses after Basq's comment?

I'm wondering how will they make this into a series or what they can do to extend the show. I know the book is long but doubt it's long enough for 4 or 5 seasons and the only way they can introduce new characters is to either show what's going on outside the dome or have people appear who've been supposedly in the town the whole time.

Very solid opener. King adaptations are very hit and miss, this has the makings of a hit. The characters have translated seemlessly from page to screen, the sub plots have been nicely established (Big Jim & the propane, Junior's a pyscho, Barbie, the kids having the seizures) and it's managed to not come off at all cheesy or ridiculous. Looking forward to seeing how they approach what's going on in the outside world.

Also, this must be what it's like for the book readers in the Game of Thrones forum Very happy though that they've said they are diverging slight from the book (the ending in particular) so there might be a few surprises along the way.

Have to say this was much better than I had hoped, I'm not a huge King fan, well I loved the dark tower series of books and the book for this one, as said the book end was rubbish but for me it was all about the characters they were superb, don't think I've ever hated someone so much in print as I did Big Jim he was a loathsome bastard, hopefully that aspect is done well on screen.

Not sure if there are the numbers to warrant it but perhaps a book spoilers thread is in order???, can be annoying for non-readers to us saying x y z is the same or different every week.

i always say dedicated book spoiler thread are good, but only if the show has a dedicated forum, like game of thrones and the walking dead, you can start a book spoiler thread if you want, most likely it will die off and get buried with all the activity in this forum, but noting stopping you from making it,

watched the 1st ep there very good opener loads of crap going on will def keep watching.the cow getting cut in half:pac::pac:
