I purposefully didn't read the comments here before I watched the new episode. Honestly, I really didn't have a problem with it. Sure it's moving a little slow, but we're only at episode two. It's been awhile since I read the book, but I'm definitely noticing a lot of the differences. One thing that I think the show's doing right, though, is the effect of the dome itself. I was worried that we'd be able to see it (kind of like a jar, as if to say, LOOK, IT'S A DOME!) and it'd be cheesy, but think it's well done.
And I did think it was funny that Big Jim just tapped Duke's house a couple times and it fell like a flimsy house of cards.
