They seemed to have dumped a technically sci fi-ish premise on a every-week's-a-bottle show.
IO9's evaluation of each plot point this week as (because dome!) was pretty on track with my reaction.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom,
I had been watching and after the 2nd episode I was still mildly amused. And then I read an interview with a showrunner I think. I can't remember if I mentioned it here or not. Spoiler follows that you may all have already known, but it was a shock to me, that's why I'm putting it in white font:
Apparently, the showrunner is interested in how their society develops as they live under the dome for weeks/months/yrs. I am not interested in this. at all. And the more I watch the show (I'll finish the season) the less I am interested in this. I guess I thought this was a mini-series, not a potentially several seasons series.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Work wouldn't let me load the other site, but that one worked. Yay! How beautiful.
