chef 3810 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I didn't think under the dome was going to last much longer. It was kind of like Lost when they have to get back to the island. All of a sudden they're still under the dome. I stopped watch about three weeks ago, but I am going to watch the final episode just to see how they tie it all up. 1
xnappo 1611 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 How are people feeling about Hannibal? I am 1.5 seasons behind..
CBers 7450 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) How are people feeling about Hannibal? I am 1.5 seasons behind.. Gave up halfway through Season 1 . Edited September 2, 2015 by CBers
jhevener 26 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Under The Dome is ending ?? About time !! I gave up after season 1. It had a lot of potential, but as usual, they dragged it out for too long. Might have to watch the last couple of episodes just to see if it matches the ending in the book Man, The only thing that really matches the book on this one is the fact that there is a dome. Didn't take long for this to turn into another lame attempt at adapting a Stephen King novel for TV (or movies for that matter). Too bad because I've always enjoyed King's novels but the guy just can't write a decent screenplay to save his life. This show has been rotting from the inside out since Season 2. If I have to look at those Botoxed lips on Christine much longer I'm going to puke. If they had stuck to the book, this show could have been really good but would only have only lasted a single season. The Shining and Stand By Me are the only decent adaptation of Kings work IMHO. Carrie... meh. It, The Stand, Pet Cemetery, Cujo, Misery, etc., all crap I say. I'd still like to see someone do a good job of bringing Salem's Lot and The Stand to the big screen, though. Oh, ok, I forgot Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Good lord, Stephen King has 200 writing credits on IMDB. Suffering Maine-iacs! 1
jhevener 26 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 On a sad note, I'm sure going to miss Hell on Wheels. Best show of it's kind since Deadwood.

The Stand would make for a great movie, they butchered it in the mini series they made. Unfortunately Pet Cemitary just wouldn't make it in the zombie infested society of film and TV right now, which is too bad because that also is a great story.
xnappo 1611 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 No - The Stand is way too long to do as a movie. Maybe as a trilogy, but the story doesn't work that great for that either. A 12-episode HBO show maybe.. 2
chef 3810 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Mr. robot this past week anyone? Somehow they where able to pull the reins back a bit in the show before they gave away to much of the plot. They introduced a new sub plot, and jumped right into the aftermath of "the plan". That show is so great! 3
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 100% agreed. The season is over.... can't wait for more!

A 12-episode HBO show maybe.. I'd agree. HBO should be capable of doing it justice. If they could get together with King they could create a series devoted to his best work. I'd rather they do that than just a one and done deal. 1

That show is so great! I have the last few episodes to watch this weekend. After not really clicking with me the first episode, this show has consistently grown on me. My nerdy, IT side loves it but my wife falls asleep when it's on. She's no techy and it doesn't hold her attention, therefore I'm not as caught up as I'd like to be. 1
xnappo 1611 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 It is so good to see Christian Slater doing what he was born to do Loved the last episode. Will wait to discuss the implications until more people are caught up. 1
xnappo 1611 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 P.S. The Mr. Robot episode names are the best! 4
fantaxp7 191 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Yea, sad Mr Robot season is over. I thought it was really cool the creator posted on Reddit to see what everyone's thoughts were on the finale. 2
Spaceboy 2573 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Ballers anyone? Doesn't look like my kind of show but my network are pushing it hard and entourage seems to be widely liked which is has been likened to
xnappo 1611 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Has anyone watched 'Eve'? Sounds like possibly a good family show..
AdrianW 1058 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Has anyone watched 'Eve'? Another "Humans" ?
xnappo 1611 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Watched the first Eve, too cheesy even for the kids
CBers 7450 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 "Eve" is a kids programme that aired in the UK back in January. Is that the one you're talking about?
