Under the Dome: "Every time I think this can’t get any worse, it does."

Julia Shumway said this in the promo for the next episode, and I couldn't stop laughing, because it's true! The show just gets worse and worse, but it's totally addictive. It's the nicotine of TV.

2. This season is certainly more entertaining than Season 2.

I still enjoy it, especially the scenes with Big Jim. He always manages to out-smart the bad guys or come to the rescue. LOL

it is a chore.

Nothing really remains of the Stephen King book, which was, of course, very good horror (we all live under the dome).

afterward and poke fun at it. It's one of those "it's so bad, it's good" kind of things for me.

Example of Surette's Dome work:

wrote the original episode scripts? Figured it had to be suits. The show was that bad. But I like Tim's theory.


You, me, your mother, your Uncle Fred (the weird one), and your dog all agreed on one thing: the first two seasons of Under the Dome were written by robots confined by a simple formula, which was that there's a dome overhead, and something scary happens inside it that threatens the people of Chester's Mill. Droughts, fires, tornados, famines, caterpillar infestations—If you could dream it, it was in the dome in the first two seasons. And it was terrible.
