I watched it for a while.

The premise is literally ripped straight from The Simpsons Movie.

I barely remember anything about it other than the military tried to bomb the dome (for some reason..?) and that one guy from Breaking Bad is in it.

 No.280843

I watched the first season and a bit for lulz. Character motivations changed by the episode, everyone kept talking about "how the dome feels" and "what the dome wants" and this was taken as totally logical reasoning, and the season's resolution was just the dome changing from white to red. I laughed, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Well, it can seem pretty complicated because of all the pretentious visuals, but basically the begins to speak, and orders all of the people to catapult themselves at the walls of the dome. They all comply, except for that one guy who wears glasses(I forget his name.) He begins to preach about how it's not right to fling people to their deaths or something, then the people begin to chase after him, presumably to kill him for spreading blaspheme, but he manages to give them the slip, and hides in some abandoned shed by the junkyard.

He stays there for hours, trying to process everything that's happened. Once he thinks the coast is clear, he exits it and sees that everyone else has catapulted themselves to death, even that cute 7.5/10 girl. At first he's shocked, but then begins to cry.

All of a sudden, he hears a voice say something like "Oh, you're still alive." He quickly turns around to see that it's the old guy. Glasses man asks what happened, and the old guy goes on about how he created the dome, and he was behind everything all along, and he wanted to kill everybody to achieve "human oneness". He then points a gun at glasses man and says "Now get on the catapult!' and then it cuts to black, and the credits start rolling.

This show is why I am glad The Dark Tower will never get made into a movie. King always gives too much freedom to people turning his books into film and TV. It's inevitable that it turns to shit, ever since Tommyknockers and The Stand (the last good adaptations).

summary of the final episode

>Sam advises Dawn that there are tunnels at the cement factory that lead out of town. Jealous of his position in the Kinship, Junior seeks to reclaim his position by killing Sam. The crystals are in place and the transmitter is ready. Dawn activates the crystals but the egg is required and is not available. Dawn tells Norrie that she can act as the egg since she is a Hand. Joe takes Norrie's place and the Dome comes down. Junior attacks Big Jim, who is forced to kill his own son. Dawn apparently falls to her death at the cement factory. Everyone is required to sign a statement that Hektor and Aktaion were responsible. Big Jim offers to fully sell the story if he is compensated "fairly". One year later, Barbie is about to propose to Julia when they are taken to Big Jim's office, who is now a Congressman. Hunter (who is now working for the NSA) has located Dawn in Omaha. Norrie (who has enlisted in the Army) finds Joe in a secure facility. Dawn stops three children before they touch a different egg.

That explains fucking nothing

but it wasn't a dome, it was a sphere. at least in the book.

being able to get out of the "dome" by going underneath it defeats the purpose.

I've pushed what little of the show from my mind, but I do remember that being established in the book.

also, from the excerpts published on Stephen King's website, I really want to read the 80s drafts of Under The Dome/The Cannibals.

*what little of the show I watched

also, which was goofier? the ayylmaos in the book or the show?

book:

>Barbie and Julia go to the control device to beg their captors to release them. Julia can make contact with a single female leatherhead, no longer accompanied by her friends and thus not caught up in their peer pressure. After repeatedly expressing that they are real sentient beings with real "little lives", and by sharing a painful childhood incident with the adolescent alien, Julia convinces the leatherhead to have pity on them. The Dome rises slowly and vanishes, allowing the toxic air to dissipate and finally freeing what is left of the town of Chester's Mill.

show (S1E13 at least):

>The monarch hatches, and the butterfly starts flying around inside the mini dome violently and creating expanding black spots where it crashes against the surface. These spots are mirrored in the big dome and begin to expand, casting the town into darkness. Junior, Angie, Joe, and Norrie then touch the dome together, the mini dome shatters releasing both the egg and butterfly, where they discover that the Monarch is Julia. They receive a visit from one of the dome's people. The visitor states that they have taken Alice's form to "bridge the divide", and that the reason for the dome is to protect them. Big Jim puts Barbie in a noose and then Julia has to choose to save the egg and the lives of the town, or save Barbie by giving the egg to Big Jim within one hour. She chooses the egg and protects it by throwing it into the lake. The egg starts to glow, and pink stars rise to the sky, where they remove the dark black "curtain", replacing it with a curtain of piercing bright white light.

ok book aliens were just dicks messing around with humans right? Like catching bugs and putting them in a jar or whatever.

What the fuck was shows?


 No.281027

>>281026

yeah, and I think they might've been related to IT, just because the device they had in the town had the same symbol on it that was on a door in IT's lair under Derry. like, since the aliens in the book were compared to kids frying ants with a magnifying glass and the sun, they might've been the young version of IT's species or something like that.

>What the fuck was shows?

"we don't know but we can't have the same ending as the book", presumably.

I think if you adapted The Gunslinger (before the dumb revisions) as a standalone film and made it 100% true to the book it would be a decent and popular flick. Very surreal and violent. Too bad King lost his edge.

Still pissed about Rage.


 No.281222

>>281219

That's what I pictured in my head, at least for the first movie. Chasing the Man in Black, the "cleansing" of Tull, meeting Jake, the slow mutants in the tunnel, losing Jake, finally catching up to Flagg with some important flashbacks interspersed (like defeating Cort, establishing that Marten and Flagg are the same person, etc). I don't actually have a problem with Idris Elba aside from the jarring fact that - there goes ALL of the racism treatment throughout the rest of the series now that we have a black Roland. It's just stupid to take what I feel is his magnum opus and turn it into another retarded adaptation instead of being true to the story


 No.281224

>>281222

Yeah exactly. I realize that Susan's racist rants and insanity during Book 2 are kind of embarrassing and won't work well on screen, but now they don't even make sense. She hates Roland and Ed even more because they're white, it's part of her character and it makes the conflict worse (she has to be tied up etc). They'll have to re-write it completely.
