'Under the Dome" coming to CBS summer '13
Hopefully the series won't fizzle out toward the end the way that the novel did...

I'd have preferred a 1 off series, but willing to see how they spin it.

Great book, decent ending but it seemed a little abrupt. You know? It just wasn't wrapped up like it should've been.

I think it'd be hard to wrap something up with a bow, nice and neat... after you created this whole other world in your own mind. I mean, you'd kinda want it to continue. Hell of a writer though. There's a reason he's so well known. I've been reading his stuff since I was a kid. |

Under the Dome's ending was okay. IT still has the worst Stephen King ending of all time.

The book was great, (although a little depressing). Remember, the turtle couldn't help us... |
The Dome's ending pissed me off because it worked its way up after a thousand pages to the absolute apex then it just ****ing ended. It was building forever then...blammo! Shot to shit.

Under The Dome was the only King book that I couldn't finish. If the series is going to deviate from the book like mentioned, I may go ahead and watch this.
As for It, I caught the mini-series the other day and decided to reread the book for the first time since the early '90's. I'm about 100 pages from the end. It's insane how good this book is though I remember the ending being a let down. The best ending of a King novel since the early days was in 11/22/63, which is funny because King says in the end notes that his son Joe Hill suggested the ending and he changed it to Hill's recommendation. Maybe Hill should do that for every King novel from here on out. |

Under was extremely long and so-so. Like every King work it had amazingly memorable characters like Baawwwbbiee and Big Jim Rennie.
I liked it and it's ending was ok compared to a lot of his works. I'm sure you could take that incredible set of characters and create something amazing. We'll see, he's definitely sold a lot of his properties away to be crapped on. Oddly, I felt like Cell was one of Kings more marketable movies in recent years. Really good and fits into a popular demographic. |
This is going to be awful. They should have done 11-22-63 as a miniseries instead.
