The black lady is a bit overbearing. It's annoying.
The ratings for the show seem to be pretty good so far.
From the New York Times:
"Since the series premiere, the overall ratings have been steady over the last four weeks. After the third episode dropped to a low of 10.7 million total viewers on July 8, the July 15 episode rebounded to 11.1 million."
My favorites have to be Colin Ford as Scarecrow Joe and Mike Vogel as Barbie. Junior Rennie is also pretty intriguing in a creepy kind of way.
I have to say though, as much as I love Dean Norris and Breaking Bad, I thought he'd play Big Jim A LOT differently. Like Hank Schroeder on steroids, only a more pompous, cocky, used car salesman nutjob. He seems to be way too reserved and sane. I'm assuming that will change as the series progresses, but it could definitely be toned up a bit.
I actually thought that was more for the "she's not a real doctor, she's a shrink... but she has experience!" effect. I figured if she answered herself with that sort of reply, it would have sounded odd and almost comical.The black lady is a bit overbearing. It's annoying.
I thought the same thing. I thought he was a great casting choice, so I hope it changes soon, too.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Jr. is crazy one week and then semi-sane the next IMHO

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I think that since the tv series has a lot longer time frame to play with, they can take their time before showing certain characters true colors...
His character definitely intrigues me... I haven't decided yet if its the portrayal that is varied, or if the character itself is supposed to have moments of sanity/appearing sane to others. I'm especially interested in it right now, because I've been doing some intervention work involving mental health issues that are very similar.
PS Bill... did I miss something? Because I've missed your ASS while I've been settling in to my new job as mom, don't take a break now!!

I hope this isn't because of my comment about the dome thing. I was just joking. I don't care who smokes, as long as they don't do it in my house or my car or my bed.Apparently, I am an ASS.

So apparently they don't rerun Monday's episode on Sunday night anymore. You also can't see the show for free from the CBS website either unless you have AT&T U-Verse or Xfinity or are an Amazon Prime member.
So I guess I'll have to wait for the DVDs to see the second half of last week's episode that I missed.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Amazon Prime.... free episodes every Friday. Or you could buy a single episode for relatively cheap to avoid that excessive (inconvenient) wait.
Holy product placement.
Other than that, enjoying the episode so far.
Norrie looks better without the make up.

Woah, what an ending.
Can you hear me now?
I liked that episode a lot. Easily the best so far. I've still got nitpicks, but even I don't really care about 'em.
I have to say I am really not that impressed with the show... so much so I stopped watching it
It hurts a bit to admit this episode wasn't so bad.
Ending could have be shot/framed/edited more cinematography instead of looking like a tv tie-in paperback cover.
However, huge kudos to the Donnie Darko actress who, IMHO, outacted everyone so far in her lip-reading scene with Barbie. It felt like I was watching a real TV show for a minute.
Which episode caused you to bail out?
I just hate having to pay to see something that I could've originally watched with a TV and an antenna.
Also watching TV shows on my little 20" computer screen really sucks.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
i am enjoying the show so far. i am curious if the show if it gets renewed for next summer if it will be even further away from the book. and what characters will survive and or die. in short will next season a cast of new characters not even in the book? just a thought anyways.
either way i'm enjoying the series as well. Dean Norris is a badass in it. i've liked him as an actor for years.
This has been my favorite episode so far. Really well done. And it looks like they might be doing the supermarket riot next week!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
There is one glaring thing that bothers me a bit so far. They haven't given us a peek at the events occurring "outside" the Dome. Considering the events so far, that perspective would be enlightening IMHO

I haven't read Under the Dome, and I've stayed away from this thread due to the spoilers. But ... Amber has read the book ... and multiple times during each episode she yells out loud "WHAT THE FUCK!? THAT'S NOT LIKE THE BOOK!" ... and I've grown tired of it. So, I read the Wikipedia synopsis of the book. Now, my question to you all (after reading the entire thread and not seeing this character's name mentioned once) ... is:
Phil Bushey?
Still digging the show.
Phil Bushey has been replaced with a completely different character. So there's not too much to discuss there.
