Can't wait. The book was great.

Probably, harbingers of things to come, good or bad.Drucifer said:Anyone care to guess are what the Falling Pink Stars are going to be?
Like Patty Hearst?armophob said:I have taken great hope from the show that after relentlessly stalking and imprisoning a female, she will eventuality begin to like me.

He got away with it for 10 years and he didn't even have a dome or a mini dome with an egg and pink stars.oldschoolecw said:It didn't workout very well in Cleveland and he had 3.
Wow! I have just the opposite opinion of the show. I think, every week, that it just can't get more stupid, but it does--every week! Gee, we're stuck under a dome, so let's all just turn in our guns. OKAY! Let's start a fight club. Huh?!? dumped the SP after this one. It just overran my irrationality threshold.renbutler said:I admit the show started out kind of clunky and hackneyed, but it's started to gain a bit of richness and suspense to it in the past few weeks.
I enjoyed every separate story in Monday's (8/26) episode, and I was interested to see where each one was going.
I was hoping for less of a soap opera ... but I don't know Steven King well enough to know if this is normal or one of those "based on a story by" derivations that is becoming "based on characters created by" - cashing in on the name to sell a less than the best product.James Long said:Are people expecting science with their fiction?
Very few adaptations of his books truly represent them well. Even the good movies are not close enough to the writing to be considered a Stephen King movie.James Long said:I said it myself over three weeks ago ...

I have to agree, I have read The Colorado Kid and there is not much similarity to Haven. I have Under The Dome in my Kindle app and will see what I think of the comparison this winter. That said, I am enjoying the series. You just have to not try to rationalize everything. If you think about it Star Trek played fast and loose with science as we know it and nobody complained about thatarmophob said:Very few adaptations of his books truly represent them well.

It (pardon the pun) seems that the television versions suffer the most. I think he knows the consequences and just enjoys the paycheck in his age these days. Heck he is touring in a band now and just having fun.
While I agree with you in that we just have to let it all slide, the original "Star Trek" did get more than its share of derision.longrider said:I have to agree, I have read The Colorado Kid and there is not much similarity to Haven.

Some of the initial publicity said it was supposed to be Pennsylvania -- for example, this review, which came out the day of the first episode, refers to that.Laxguy said:Not one damn lobster, and has it occurred to anyone else that there's not even the slightest trace of a Maine accent?
It's definitely very "based on the characters created by".James Long said:I said it myself over three weeks ago ...
