Back under the dome.. maybe this season will at least start a bit better: Stephen King apparently wrote episode 1..
UNDER THE DOME returns tonight to CBS at 10pm. This time, according to Stephen King himself, no one under the dome is safe.. but will we be safe to watch? The original season was awful.. Maybe this go around a new and more vibrant DOME awaits. King writes.. We will see.
THERE HAS BEEN HIGH PRAISE FOR STEPHEN KING’S ‘UNDER THE DOME’
But I don’t know if I’m ready to give it the same praise that the ‘experts’ who get paid to write things gave it..It felt rushed, it felt choppy, and it felt sloppy.
I know it’s a Stephen King made for TV adaption of a book, so the standard is low, but the acting was much less on par when compared to past television events.. So much so that a friend of mine messages me during the show and said he felt like it was the 1990s again. And that’s true.. there seemed to be a bad Dawson’s Creek feel to the supposed sex scene and eventual relationship gone wrong scenes..
I will admit, I only read about 60% of UNDER THE DOME. I never finished the book because, truly, I got downright bored and confused by the whole event. I knew a dome came down over a town.. and lots of people began to essentially do the worst possible things to each other that they could. I suppose we will begin seeing that in true form over the next twelve weeks of UNDER THE DOME made for TV..
Night one wasn’t what I expected. Surely I knew it would not be true to the book—and this movie is so far not—but I was expecting some more production value.The most creative scene was probably a cow being shopped in half.. Let’s home the story line over the next few weeks makes up for a less than spectacular television series..

UNDER THE DOME is about to air on CBS.. tonight at 10pm EDT if you don’t know already..
I didn’t finish the book. I got to about page 600 or so.. and just quit. I couldn’t do it.. It may have been one of the more slow Stephen King books I have ever actually read.
But I do intend on trying the series out.. I hope to make it through all 13 episodes..
Who else is watching?
