i dont recall anything really twisted but maybe i'm just either a) paying attention to the story or 2) twisted. Under the Dome - Page 2 2859867778

Yes 11-22-63 is fantastic Colleen- other than a normal romance, there isnt anything vulgar

Lisey's story was also very sweet if i recall correctly
Bag of Bones was also clean..

Yes, I love Game of Thrones! Just finished reading the second book - Clash of Kings. Starting on the 3rd now.

The sex in that book doesn't bother me. Not sure why.

Maybe I've hit on some deep psychological issues that I've kept hidden. lol2

Colleen, we all have our quirks. I love some SciFi shows, but detest others, I like some uber gross shows, with lots of killing, but detest others. It happens.

A few big deviations for me:
Spoilers kinda but not really. Just stuff that's off from the book.

I did notice some differences.

Subject: Re: Under the Dome Tue Jun 25, 2013 7:55 pm

I totally forgot to DVR this.. I blame my "smart" TV.. its all fucked up and won't let me connect to the internet so I can't use Netflix, so I have to hook up my laptop to the TV so I can watch Netflix, but I just use HDMI chord that goes into the back of the cable box.. so I totally forget about it

JJ, we may not agree on much, but I agree with everything you posted in the hidden "spoiler". That all ticked me off. While I knew, that the show would be different from the book, I did not expect it to be that different.

I am willing to give the show a chance, meaning I will watch a few more eppies.

Yes, they did, but they had Stephen Kings approval to change what ever they wanted.

I read that he was ok with that, as long as the basic storyline was intact.

The only thing that really bugs me is the complete change in Barbie. In the book, wasn't he just simply walking out of town? Now he's a murderer. He's also much younger than I pictured. The rest of it is just small details - I'm not sure if they'll affect the overall story yet.

I also found it amusing how they knew right away that they were completely trapped by the dome - in the book they took the time to follow the perimeter first. I blame that on time though.

yeah, he seems like a darker character so far, but he did have that conversation saying they guy attacked him, and I think he killed the guy because he was attacked not because that was his intent.

i guess we'll see why he was there in the first place.

I wonder if the sherriff will survive or if he dies?? My guess is he will be in a coma or somethin, i can't see him just dying in the first eppy like the book

side note, i think by the third eppy i will be completely lost as the the show will have gone by my progression in the book

then you won't have to nit-pick - you can just watch and (hopefully) enjoy it

Admin Posts : 20877 Join date : 2012-03-18 Age : 47

hmmm. i seem to have forgotten these details you guys are "nitpicking" about so good! i dont mind the show so far... Barbie is the "officer beautiful" from Bates yes?

in the book did Barbie kill anyone - someone said he was walking out of town - he was a short order cook wasnt he? just on the move... not on the run?

he was leaving town because he was having problems with Big Jim's kid and his friends, I believe, and just wanted to move on.

Admin Posts : 20877 Join date : 2012-03-18 Age : 47

ah okay... thanks. so he didnt kill anyone?

my mother in law read the whole book this past weekend - so she's on the side of those of you who have also just read it - she hates the show so far.
