Under The Dome starts on Monday, 6/24/13 on CBS.

Can't wait. The book was great.

Right. Hafta be summat like "Looking into The Dome".

What will be revealed: the translucent material contains thousands of HD cameras (which are, of course, also translucent), and so we'll have a great big Truman Show.... OH, wait, we already have that....

Do you think next year will take place in the exact same time frame, but this time from the point of view of OUTSIDE the dome? They couldn't call it Under the Dome though, could they?
Heh...someone suggested that on another forum, and I said that was okay, but it would have to depict the outside world gradually becoming more and more Utopian. In the final episode of the season -- as, let's say, the multinational crew of astronauts is about to lift off on the first mission to build the Mars base, right after the cure for the common cold is announced -- everyone realizes that all these advancements in humanity are the result of the dome having isolated all of the world's stupidest and most violent people.

Oh, you mean the writers of this show! I get it. :)

That theory was blown away a while ago. If there was a birth every time someone died the clinic would be nothing but a maternity ward by now... :)
It was?

The theory that I postulated wasn't that somebody is born every time somebody dies. Only the people around whom the dome is operating would be affected by this. Alice is Norrie's mom, so her death wasn't just random like most of the others; it had a particular meaning. Norrie saw a vision of her mom near the mini-dome in the woods. Clearly she had more meaning than the other random fatalities.

I see your point, I was more making a joke about the rate they are killing people. At this rate the show will end after season 2 due to no more people left.

Just the reason for a 27 minute delay in evening programming (eastern and central). :(

And I didn't find out till I went to play it back and of course my Genie didn't buffer CBS...

Ah, now I get the tennis reference- as I had taped it long before, and there was no hint of delay. Still, a match for the ages.

So, I saw the entire show, and, well, I've forgotten how to put in spoilers, so I will just say that Hank (the actor's character in BB) isn't fully believable as a mean ass killer.

Since a lot of the First Run episodes of a lot of shows are in between seasons I find myself watching on the same night that they run. I usually wait for half the show to be run and then start.
Last night I FF2 until the show started and then extended the stop time.

I couldn't wait for Amazon and for some reason my Tivo can now do Xfinity OnDemand and PPV'S so I checked and there it was last nights episode. And it may be the best episode so far, watch it when you get a chance, great stuff.
