any thoughts on what this is going to be like? debuts tonight/June 24th.
"Truman show" meets "Revolution" ? some sort of apocalyptic craziness again whereas a small town is locked within a dome.

My first thinking when I saw the trailers was "Jericho ripoff".
First episode doesn't do much to change that impression.
Not bad, though. Will watch again.

Not bad first episode.
I'll continue to watch it.
I'm one of those who did not read the book to compare.

I find new shows it always takes 3-4 episodes to get a feel of it. I'm more curious how long the oyygen will last. Kinda reminds me of a outter limites episode where a small chunk of a town was taken to another planet where the aliens atmosphere was interduced in a dome like that to see if they could use the humans as slaves on their planet.

Did anyone else wonder why they didn't just try to dig their way out/in under the dome?:facepalm:

read the book a few years ago when it first came out....
the book was LONGGGG....with a lot of subplots and minors characters (kinda like GOT), definitely not good for a 2hr movie
It seems they changed a lot of the story plot right from the start tho... :suspicious:
Did anyone else wonder why they didn't just try to dig their way out/in under the dome?:facepalm: very early in the book the military already explain the dome goes deep down...probably more like a sphere than a dome
another somewhat obvious spoiler they shot bunker buster missile and pour military corrosive acid on it...but obviously nothing works

After 2 episodes this seems really stupid.. but there is shit else to watch on TV so it gets a longer leash :fuckthatshit:

probably why they released it in the summer but stephen kings behind it so im hoping it'll be good so far not bad at least im not facepalming constantly like i did when trying to watch Revolution

You didn't facepalm when they tried to put out a fire by dumping buckets of water on the front porch where there was no fire? :lawl:

lol i did but that can be attributed to stupid small towns folk than bad production i guess lol

Well, I'm kind of into it now. More curious than anything but like SkinnyPupp said, there ain't shit all else to watch. LOL!

I would be more worried about suffocation if I was in their spot... I'm kinda confused why no one hasn't said a thing about that yet.

What about food? It's not like the grocery store has an infinite supply.
This show is lackluster but I'll probably keep watching for the same reasons listed above.

they did/do
you'd think between stephen king/spielberg it ought to be decent.
and where is the electricity coming from? I think for the oxygen with all the trees should be enough to convert the CO2 of people breathing, they will probably run out of fossil fuels soon so that would be less of an issue.
But wouldnt it get super hot in there like a green house?

The dome is porous so air can get in and out.
StylinRed
07-09-2013, 08:13 PM
they mentioned the concern about air in the show
as for electricity some of them have generators
and there's all the propane that Big John etc have stockpiled for their drug business
food i agree im surprised they haven't started tearing shit up to use as farmland but these guys aren't thinking that far which you think since they're farmers they would be thinking about that
SkinnyPupp
07-09-2013, 08:18 PM
Yeah they already showed that the dome is porous. As for food I found it pretty stupid. Everyone having coffee and milk like its not the last coffee or milk they are likely to see. Having a whiskey, I understand after killing a cop and lying to the new sheriff :lawl:

How many days into the show is it tho? for us it's a month but for them if it's only 4 days then that would explain about the little concern. I forgot about the dome being porous so of course running outta air shouldnt be the issue.
SkinnyPupp
07-10-2013, 07:12 PM
But still they don't know how long they'll be in there... The only guy who realizes this is the military guy, and he stocked up on smokes :lawl:

Ok now it's getting good.

3days behind the dome and a meningitis outbreak spreads and squashed in a matter of hours
military calls it quits after 2? full days
im starting to hate the show lol
I bet Jim is just going to pretend he didn't see a thing

how did barbie get access to his voicemail....

Maybe Barbie has visual voicemail; no cell signal required. Jim will definitely cover up what Junior has done. The video of the seizure was creepy!

He played his voicemail. Unless visual voicemail speaks.
