Under the Dome (tv series)

[MrsAxilla]

Anyone watching?  I have to vent!  What is going on?  I know when we discussed the book, we loved the character development.  But all the characters are different!!  The story line is different! What the fuck?!?  

It reminds me of Desperation and The Regulators, where the character names were the same, but everything else was different.  

Oh, and the acting sucks!

I've only read like 50 pages of the book, but am trying to read and watch. Agreed - who are these people? I never understand the need to make up new characters (or have same characters do different things) and new story lines in book adaptations. People expect it to go a certain way and when it doesn't, it's all we can focus on.

Yes, the acting is horrid. Especially the red haired chick. While I love to watch her hair (is that sad? It's so pretty), she is really annoying

-->Crosses Under the Dome off of potential TV shows to watch

That's a real bummer. It had definite potential.

Totally unrelated but every time I see something about the show or book all I can think of is The Simpsons movie. Haha I should read it so I can stop thinking King ripped them off.

Haha! We talk about her hair like it's its own character.

I'm actually enjoying the show though. It's no Dexter, but it has my interest.
