Cpt. Spring Types posted:Also, I loved that the plane was completely covered in giant cobwebs after two weeks of sitting there. And of course that the show had to explicitly state that he switched to the reserve tank even though it was 100% obvious. "What just happened? It's like I have extra fuel and can now safely land..." says the man who just got done talking about how he's flown hundreds of missions. "What just happened? I moved this stick in front of me and the plane is now veering to the left!" Why be so loving obtuse about the reserve tank? Why is the switch hidden? Just say "There's a reserve tank, the switch is on your right!" "Only drug planes could possibly have reserve gas tanks! I can't reveal my dark secret!"

When Joe started talking about how he is going to make the killer pay, I had to google him and see if he had any relation to Hayden Christianson. He sounded like he was doing a monologue from Star Wars Episode II.

You know, as harsh as I've been on this show, after watching it two weeks in a row right after True Blood, it looks downright Shakespearean next to it. Also I was really hoping the new guy was going to get killed at the end of the episode. Having the show kill off someone in the last two minutes of every episode would make it so much better.

HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?" Food supplies are not really a problem though because with magnets they can use the magnetic magnetism of the magnetic field and alter their eating pattern magnetically.

I love how the entire outside world seemingly doesn't give a drat about the dome. You'd think there would be a massive perimeter of military/scientists outside the dome, not to mention every spy satellite in the sky pointed at the town. Hell, there shouldn't be ANY mysteries about what's going on at all. The NSA and their 12 spy satellites pointed at the town should see EVERYTHING and can easily just communicate to the people in the dome via signs that hey, we know who murdered that girl it was _____. Maybe it's all meta commentary on how we, the viewing audience, shouldn't give a poo poo about this show and should make better use of our time.

Twee as gently caress posted:Also I was really hoping the new guy was going to get killed at the end of the episode. Having the show kill off someone in the last two minutes of every episode would make it so much better. He's not going to be killed, he was a main character on a long-run CBS show that ended a year or two ago (CSI NY). Isn't the dome opaque now? Even though after the bomb, we could see all of the scorched poo poo? So we can't see whether the government cares or not, and I guess they don't want to bother showing anyone outside caring about it (or introducing new characters for that). I'm not convinced the mom is a real person. Things we know are under the dome: -Tons of houses -One place to eat out. Just one. -Hospital -Big old factories with underground tunnels and poo poo -Bridge -At least one giant farm -Big rear end mansion -Lake -Large wooded area -Another lake? Was the one Joe was looking at during the explosion the same lake? -Plane hangar and runway and a different crop field -Far off cabin where the uncle lives (how come nobody checked on him during the perimeter search? How come he never came into town to ask WTF?) -High school, probably other younger grade schools I'm sure I'm missing a few big places. It's a giant dome. With no mcdonalds or walmart.

Somebody with no respect for the value of their time should count the number of days actually shown. There's no way they could have actually fit all this random, unconnected bullshit into 14 story days b

"I might even hate your drat guts." -  Great range of emotion this guy has. I hope people keep showing up and acting like they've been there the whole time. It was hilariously surreal to have Dwight Yoakam show up as Rennie's lifelong friend.
