New sci fi series about an invisible dome that traps people into a town - those who try and escape/touch it get an electric shock

no one can get in or out, tho water can seep in, there is no wifi/tv or phone signal but a local radio station can broadcast

those who watched under sufferance Revolution on sky 1 may enjoy Grin

I hope dad doesn't leave girl down there :(

Yes Barbie killed reporters hubby as didn't pay his gambling debt

The boy sitting up was weird and like he was talking to someone in the room - hope no aliens ..........

Who is the sperm donor/dad of daughter of lesbian couple?

The radius of the dome was kinda worked out last week - but weird that daughters boyfriends parents house is inside and theirs outside - wouldn't they need to live near hospital as both doctors!

Am I making too much of this?

Def better then reveloution :) least a storyline :)

Although Barbie shot the doctor, It wasn't completely straightforward. Doctor pulled a gun on him, they had a struggle and Barbie's gun went off. Afterwards he found out that the doctors gun wasn't loaded.

Blondes the lesbian couple were just driving through, they don't live there. The blonde mum doesn't work in that hospital. They were on their way to drop the daughter off at boarding school.

Has the thread died or did it get trapped under a dome?

Last night was much better. Much more tension.

I did make a start on the book though. It is very different to thr tv programme.

Is it more sci fi or horror/ gore the book? If the former I might give it a read once I have watched it.

I'm about half way through the book, possibly getting a bit sci fi, but mainly more character development and a bit of gore. The book is brilliant I'm really enjoying it. I'll stick with the TV series but they're very different.

I did roll my eyes at the tablet. So cheesy.

Rummikub · 17/09/2013 12:52

I might give the book a whirl then. I clearly am oblivious to the advertising efforts as the Microsoft /tablet thing din register at all.

Blondes stop criticising Revolution. You know you love Monroe it.

I really enjoyed the book (although read it a while ago so can't remember the details- I seem to remember there was a big 'fundie' end of the world angle from one of the characters that is clearly missing). I can't imagine the show as it is now will be as intense. The book has a 'Mist' feel and some characters seem way nicer in the show than they were in the book.

I haven't seen the latest episode and was going to watch it tonight but I remembered I have the latest ep of Whitechapel ready- definitely first choice for me!

By the way bad news for fans of The Returned. They will start filming the new series in February so it will be shown on French TV at the earliest in October, possibly later.

At least.
I watched an interview with the writer of the show and he's veeeery intense and cerebral. He's envisioning three 'movements' (series). The second is according to him the other side of the coin (his words) and he didn't elaborate on the third.

The positive is that he's wary of supernatural shows that pile on more questions and mysteries- he thinks the audience loses patience with that. He said he wanted to wrap things up and give answers to satisfy the viewers.

I'm a bit baffled by the program tbh, hope we start getting some answers soon.
