    Re: Under the Dome - Season 3

    I'm looking forward to it, even though I prefer King's novel.

    Fans in Germany obviously have to wait until September. There is no precise date yet.

    But Lord, I'm already going to be watching Falling Skies this summer. Is that not suffering enough for one man?

    No, my son. Only through pain can you truly glimpse salvation in the kingdom of Heaven.

    Fine, I'll watch Under the Dome too. Whelp, back to flogging myself to prepare.

    'Under the Dumb' returns for more stupidity. Watched the 2 hour premiere , what a mess. Not even sure where to begin. I hope the producers are preparing this to be the final season, I don't see how it's going to make it to a fourth season.

    I'll watch it when it comes to Germany. But only to see it finished properly. The TV show has nothing in common with the King novel, which is really great.

    The season premiere was...even more ponderous than usual. I mean seriously, WTF?

    I can't believe CSI joined this ridiculous shit show.

    What is wrong with me that I'm still watching?

    :shrug:

    We all have to have a 'trainwreck' show around here to bust on. Under the Dome has been that show. LOL

    I'm surprised it's lasted this long when so many other shows deserve more of our attention. They should have left it as a mini-series. This just sounds like it's been limping along and running on fumes.

    I watch it because I'd like to see it properly finished.

    I remember the tv series `Early Edition´ (German: Allein gegen die Zukunft) with Gary Hobson and a red cat as heroes. That show never got a proper finale.

    As to Under the dome: Junior Rennie is not credible for me. Only Julia, Barby and Big Jim are tolerable. I don't know why Stephen King is content with this show.... Isn't he?

    This show is suppose to have a 5 season arc. I just don't see what more they can throw in without destroying credibility. The credibility is of course, very strained anyways, considering this has all happened in so far in a 3 week period. Most of the actors, especially the younger ones, look different.

    BTW, I thought the egg was zapping everyone at touched it when it was on the outside, now it was sitting in a display case in Mr former ER doc's office.

    Dear diary,

    After spending a year in a dream state inside the Matrix, I got jizzed out of a cockroach carcass into an underground rave in a cavern being watched by the local murderer/car dealer/restauranteur/sheriff/mayor, but none of the townspeople seemed too bothered by it. Also, the lady from CSI was there for some reason. I'm totally tripping balls.

    That totally read like a mad-lib, though unfortunately, I know you weren't joking.

    what, I found funny was the attempt at continuity... Julia should start walking with a limp, since you know she was shot at some point, I think... That's a bandage on her leg right?

    The show is so ridiculous that it's impossible to distinguish parody of the show from reality without some indicator that you're telling a joke. The show is essentially Poe's Law in action.

    Yep, the triumphant return of Julia's ever so useful over-the-pants bandage. Just in case your jeans are bleeding.
