- least bad acting of the 3 so far (but still quite a few instances of it )
- 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.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."

"a phenomenon."

"Like Nothing On Earth"
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.

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!

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
Don't forget "It". A pretty interesting first half (kids' story) and a second half (adults' story).

I never liked it (nor the stand). I know I am in the minority but I couldn't stand either in both written and movie form :d

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.

Its not great but its entertaining enough and Im sticking with it. If they changed the ending from 'aliens' Im intrigued how it will pan out. Although a part of me wishes it was 'aliens'
So that map that Julia found at the end, Im guessing marks the spot where Barbie buried her husband?
The guys behind this are stupid talentless people.
For example the

water filling the room
scenes are meant to be tense, but no,
Spoiler:
by the end of the episode not even 1/3 Angie is under water.
What the actual fuck???

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.

this series was terrible enough from the get go, but ep 4´s retard level was over 9000.
i dont even know where to begin, every single scene was so bad and silly.
Spoiler:
the episode´s trademark harlem shake where the kid goes "pssshh"
the fac that junior cuffs the chick in a shelter right next to the house where his father could just pop in whenever he wanted to have a private wank
the overused cliché scene of falling and passing out in a room with rising water level
and many more
not to forget the overall lack of quality in any area, be it acting, writing, atmosphere...
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
Let's make the reverent believe it's God's plan to kill the whole town
BTW in case anyone wonders Vaughan confirms the outbreak just happened to.. happen and it's in no way related to the dome.

how much antibiotic is left ???
-1 Dose !!
Ok, give it to her !!!
now what the fuck. I had to take antibiotics a couple of times in my life. Once i had to stay for a week in the hospital and take a dose intravenous every 8 hours.
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.
you can bet your ass Jim will want to protect his son and probably lock the girl up in the house
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.
