The pilot was pretty good; the second one was OK. I really hope they do away with the kidnap plotline though; that one really sucks.

3rd episode review:

- least bad acting of the 3 so far (but still quite a few instances of it Crying or Very sad )
- still don't care about any of the characters
- quite a few problems with the writing:
** how teens talk
** the pretty bad way of how Big Jim repeats to the Reverent what he told him in the previous episode so that the audience catches up/remembers
** how Julia starts talking about her past to one character and half an episode later, we learn the rest of her story by talking about it with another
- the kidnapping plot is going nowhere

The problem is none of the characters care about the dome, they act as if it's guaranteed it'll go away in a day or two.

Meh.

if i were them, i'd start to collect all the food (hopefully they have a water supply lol) and start ration it. I found it already amazingly stupid, how they still sell and buy stuff in that situation ...

That is what gripes me with the show. Nobody (the extras) really give a shit about the dome. They function like nothing happened, no questions, no panic. Just your average day.

Storm of the century was ok, as was Rose Red.

The Shining was alright, but King had spent a couple of decades moaning about the film version, then he changed the end of the Tv Miniseries to show JT as ghost all happy and smiling with his Son.


Langoliers has the same problem as the book, a naff second half.


Someone should take a punt on The Dark Tower, that could be fantastic!

Don't forget "It". A pretty interesting first half (kids' story) and a Reaction second half (adults' story).

Sad

The Stand was ok, but it's too 80's for my likings. The first episode is really, really good, though. It can be seen more or less as a stand alone (short) movie as well.


The numbers don't decide, the system is a lie. The river running dry, the wings of butterflies.
And you may pour us away like soup. Like we're pretty broken flowers.
We'll take back what is ours. One day at a time.

Some light spoilers mostly about the next episode.

The very good news is the kidnapping storyline ends in it.

The stand was excellent!!

Haven't seen it for about 10 years though, I've also heard there is a remake on the horrizon ?

No, it's just "bad". It's not of the "so bad, it's good" variety.

Yeah, I'm not the guy that likes to over-critisize entertainment, but when the creators manage to make something that strikes me as offensively bad (see: this, Tomb Raider (2013)) I can't help myself.

Let's make the unstable kid a policeman lol wut
Let's make the reverent believe it's God's plan to kill the whole town lol wut

BTW in case anyone wonders Vaughan confirms the outbreak just happened to.. happen and it's in no way related to the dome. lol wut

Ok, give it to her !!!

1 dose of it wouldn't do shit. Oh how i love such intelligent writing rofl.

oh and the whole idea of a quarantine within an already quarantined small town, half the populace must have been in the hospital already

also how about the shops still having full stock of everything?
i figured in a crisis like this people would panic and stock up on everything within a few hours.
any store in the town should be empty after a day since there are no new deliveries coming in.

That was my exact thought when i saw him open the bunker. I cant stress how much that would suck!
Fingers crossed for the kidnapping plot to be over, the psycho son a fugitive and focus on the dome.

well, he wanted his son to be a real man (like him, taking pride in shattering a kid´s pelvis etc.), and junior did go and capture himself a woman, so he will probably be proud of him and the kidnapping plot will drag on till the cancellation.

I disagree.
"This is a huge problem for Big Jim and his standing in the town if people find out what his son is up to."
to me that sounds like he just locks her up somewhere else, because he dosent want people to find out what his son did.
