Under The Dome starts on Monday, 6/24/13 on CBS.
Can't wait. The book was great.

How can there be holes? You are aware this story we are watching is fiction? :righton:Laxguy said:But the gun happy law enforcement officers and Hank, the FBI man from Breaking Bad, would be a big deterrent to early raids.
Yes, there are more holes in this than a fine Swiss cheese, but I am sticking with it for now.
I hear you, but look and watch it as it's meant to beLaxguy said:OMG! It is!?!
I thought it was CNN.
:hurah:
In any event, even fiction ought to have some internal integrity...
Yes. We accept the notion of the Dome, that suddenly a township is enveloped by an impenetrable clear dome. We accept that people will do crazy things in reaction thereto, but those reactions have to be somewhat believable. But we don't accept physical properties or actions that are impossible with or without the dome. There's more to all this, but a couple of thoughts.The Merg said:I believe that LaxGuy is referring to plot holes in the story. Even stories of fiction should hold true to the universe they are in.
See, these inconsistencies with reality just keep adding up.Maruuk said:And the redhead is hot.
jdskycaster said:The amount of wind in the dome is a stretch but what bothers me more is the river inside of a completely closed environment. Should have flooded the town or at least a very large area.
Hey, it's summer TV. And "Haven" is coming back this fall on Syfy. There's a town everyone could leave, theoretically. But they just hang around waiting to suffer some horrible tragedy. But I watch it. What can I say? :shrug:jdskycaster said:Is that really too much to ask?
There is a thread over in Forum Support about that ...TBoneit said:P.S. Am I the only one wondering why the FireFox spell checker isn't working? It works over to BleepingComputer.com and they are running the same software as far as I know.
Here's the definitive answer: The river is spring fed within the dome. It terminates in a lake which seeps back into ground water and evaporates into rain clouds, and the municipal water plant draws from there in varying quantities. The Dome extends far underground, but not to Moho!TBoneit said:There is as river in the dome? I remember the bridge but don't recall looking for water.
Under the Dome any water should be stagnant with no fresh water coming in nor water leaving. If water could come in and leave why nothing else.
Next where is the new channel cut by the interupted river as it detours around the Dam created by the Dome.
Maruuk said:There are some inconsistencies and tedious characters like the ***** moms, but bottom line, it's Summer and there's nothing else on! And the redhead is hot.
Well, there is always a period of denial when bad things happen, and it lasts about 3 days, give or take. And, this is a compressed story not happening in real time; we may be 6 or 7 weeks in, but the dome came down, at least in TV time, about 3 days ago. Maybe 4. Coincidentally, that is about when denial wears off, which pretty perfectly explains why the looting happened when it did.jdskycaster said:The amount of wind in the dome is a stretch but what bothers me more is the river inside of a completely closed environment. Should have flooded the town or at least a very large area. My daughter and I may watch one more episode but she was ready to throw in the towel after the last one did nothing to improve the plot. Everyone suddenly deciding to raid the stores was just silly. That would have happened in the first hour when everyone realized they were not getting out.
Now that's funny. :rolling: Some bacon would be good as well. I have to admit that even though a few of the scenes this week were sleepers finding the mini-dome peaked my interest. Absent that I would not be continuing on with this one but now I want to know. What the heck is that?Laxguy said:Well, at least someone has enough propane to do so! Though once cracked, the egg's contents might multiply its contents so that the omelet will cover the entire floor of the Dome.... And is there enough cheese and sour cream for that??
It would be nice if the next episode is better but if you look back to the beginning it get's worse with each succeeding episode. I don't know where this show's writers went to get their training on how to write a teleplay but they should definitely ask for their money back.Maruuk said:Wow, weak week. Gotta get better next time. Between ridiculously trite (and insufferable) baby birthings and bathos-soaked mommy croaking and silly propane wars and idiotic egg domes, not to mention nothing getting advanced one iota on the dome front at all, it was brutal. Somebody send some Monster Energy Drinks and a tub of Viagra to the writers' room.
