rotten ending! won't watch next season.
Okay, what did that ending on 'Under the Dome' mean? Just a cliff hander for next season?
Please respond to GZR328@Yahoo,com, thanks.
Someone should tell Stephen King to stop writing the next season; this show sucked and the finale was about as satisfying as a slap in the face.
Won't watch when they continue.

The story is dragging. I think I'll read the book and hopefully be happier with the pace of the story.
Very disappointing, to say the least!!!
So disappointed. Will not invest any more time in watching what comes next. I will stick with the book.
Stephen King and CBS should be ashamed. I wondered how they would end the series in one hour and they obviously did not.
I will not watch the second season. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
I watched about 4 of them, and then I said SORRY. Then I watch tonight with the wife, and I said it was a loss of good time. Stephen King bomb this time.
This is such a terrible TV series… started out O-K and became total crap by the end. Rated it a 2 on imdb.. primetime garbage.
I will give Under the Dome one last chance and it needs to happen in the first five minutes of season two's first episode. It's beyond obvious that Junior won't pull the floor underneath Barbie's feet but I swear……. if the brightly lit sky doesn't showcase Big Jim's evil doings for everyone to see, or if Junior doesn't at least shoot a warning shot at his dad RIGHT AWAY in the second season's opening five minutes…….I will stop watching the show.
Worst ending to a TV series I've ever seen! I can't believe I wasted all that time watching a show that seemed to get dumber and dumber as the weeks went by. Even the acting seemed to deteriorate. Maybe the actors were bummed out too.
I watched all episodes and read the book. The book was alto better the series mostly good except these last few episodes. I will watch to see where it goes. Finale was bad but most cliff hangers are!
I watched this show faithfully every week All day kept thinking about ending Couldnt wait. I was soooooooooooo
disappointed!! I has no idea there was a next season.
Very disapointing-Ratings will go down next season…
Extremely disappointed. Kind of knew it was going to be since the season wrap up only took an hour. It was almost irresponsible to put so much effort doing a show, getting a fan base to keep on watching and then,basically disrespect their audience with such a cop out or just plain lack of imagination. I feel used. Yeah, I watched your commercials but you didn't really love me.
The dumbest show ever!!!! I not only will not watch next season, but may not watch CBS at all, because of this waste of time.
I was pretty certain I heard advertisements on CBS announcing the dramatic conclusion for "Under the Dome". Not the dramatic conclusion pending getting signed for a second season. I was disappointed.
Series started out interesting but as season worn on it became harder to watch. Very disappointed in Steven King.
Will not watch next year.
The season finale is such a disappointment. I don't know if I will watch the next season. These sk series always seem to drag.
Couldn't believe the way it ended!!! So I came on line to see if that was it, and found out there will be a second season…didn't have a clue..wish we didn't have to wait so long
I can't believe that I watched Under the Dome tonight. A total waste of my time. That wasn't an ending!
WTF. Too bad they didn't follow the book! The ending sucked as we all thought this was the end! Season 2 don't think I'll be watching as it didn't follow the book except for maybe the names and the dome! Ending Sucked. If you even want to call that a ending. At least the book had a ending!
Remember The Stand?
WHAT A LET DOWN…if THIS IS THE WAY THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE FOR CBS.TRY TO SELL COMERCIALS. ..I DON;T WANT ANY MORE.
I cant believe that i invested the entire summer and come to the finale without it being the end. Very disappointed in the way that it did not end. I might not even watch the next season. the will have to do an exceptional sell job.
Series started out interesting but as season worn on it became harder to watch. Very disappointed in Stephen King.
Will not watch next year.
I firmly agree with this write-up. Why advertise a finale for a summer fill-in show and then not have a finale? Let's face it – there isn't enough story to have a second season. This could have been a really top-notch show but succumbed to the usual – sound bites, quick flashes of color, and minimal actual plot. Come on CBS – you can do a lot better!
We started watching it because we thought it was just a summer filler. It was exciting to watch as we thought it would be ending. I do not plan on watching another season. It needed to be wrapped up. I'm having "Lost" dejavu – Ugh.
Remember The Stand? What happened Stephen??
I can't believe I wasted my evening watching Under the Dome. That wasn't an ending!!
If you read the book you won't understand the movie/soap opera, because the book is not even close to this crap on TV
Not once, all summer, was Season 1 ever said! Tonight was such a disappointment! All set to watch a fantastic finale and all we saw was crap! Thanks CBS. It really did stink that bad!!
Very disappointed!!!! I'm so through with this story. Think I'll go scrambled an egg….beat it to death!
Boring show, boring ending not waiting to see the next season
It sucked. Loved it at the beginning. Gave it a chance at the end, hoping for answers. Bombed. Can't believe we have to wait a year for a conclusion. Hope it gets cancelled.
I will watch it next season , it did leave me hanging didn't like the ending but left me wanting to watch more so I will watch again. ….I loved it.
Glad to hear that tonight was not the FINAL EPISODE because it would of been a ridiculous ending. I welcome another season of this show. Judging from the posts above, the next season will have to prove that Stephen King's future mini series are still worth watching.
The ending was horrible! I felt like I wasted two whole months watching the show and still have no answers.
Show sucks
They should have just ended it for good tonight. A two hour finale that REALLY ended it would have been better.
This is a complete disappointment. Once again they're going to milk a series beyond it's shelflife. The storyline starting to fizzle out anyway. Why not just write the series and complete it and start another one of some other promise rather than continuing on the same old same old. It's a complete disappointment.
wasted my entire summer for this? I will know better next time.
To all the people on here. Under the dome has been signed on to a second season. That why they end the season like this because their going to be a second season.
Now that was a stupid ending. The only reason I watched this series was because there wasn't anything else on during the summer to watch. The same boring thing would happen ever week.
What a downer! It was suppose to be the Season Finale! I had read the book, easily could have and should have ended it. All about the money. To bad.
Thanks for the disappointing so called ending!!!
Poor acting, crappy story. WTH it didn't end? Another season? No thanks!
The whole reason we were watching is because we thought it would wrap up, rather we are being strung along again by characters, and unplotted territory! Ugh, is right!!!!
NOTHING..and I mean NOTHING.made sense. What could they have been thinking? This series ended up sucking big time !!! Never again.
Quite a few grammatical errors in there.
Lots of negative comments here but I like the show. Though I do feel stupid or somewhat mislead. I thought the show was a mini-series (isn't that what was advertised?) and the very last episode was going to be tonight. It ended abruptly without a wrap-up or any previews. That sent me to the computer to find out what the hell is going on. Now I find out it's going for a second season. Am I the only dummy who thought it was going to be over tonight?
I'm sure I'll tune in next season. I hate to give up on it now. Plus Barbie is a cutie.
Shame on the creators for such a disjointed series. Very disappointed. Will not watch next year.
Loved the series but can't wait for another.. Need to know what happens now. I wait all week long to watch it. Anticipation is killing me.
Very disappointed at the finale!
Not going to watch the 2nd season. I can be robed once but not twice!
We watched faithfully all summer. Couldn't wait for the finale tonight, as was advertised. What the hell CBS! Now there is another season? It could have been wrapped up tonight! Such a waste of time!! Stephen King is better than this!!!
I thought this was just a summer series. Will not be watching season 2; will read the book if I want answers.
Bad, Bad, Bad…………..Never again. I'm done.
DO yourself a favor READ the book. This crap is not even close and never made sense. I'm surprised Mr. King went along with this fubar at all.
It was like the writers took a smoke break and never came back. Blah. I am so disappointed.
You would think the writers would have learned about us 'disgruntled' loyalists….remember "The Killing"?
That left us hanging for another season. People disengaged from season two. We have to wait til NEXT
Summer for an answer….I think NOT!!!!
I thought this final show was weak and didn't even end. Barbie was left standing on the gallows and all of us were left wondering what the heck was going to happen next. A finale??? No way. Very disappointing.
What a rip-off! I only watched this ridiculous series because I believed it when CBS advertised it as a mini-series that would be all wrapped up and over by the end of the summer. It is surprising that Stephen King would want his name attached to a TV show with such poorly written episodes with such hokey dialogue.
Under the dome had some of the most painful dialog I have seen on television in a while, and nothing ended up making any sense after all.
It seems like they are trying to walk the path of "Lost" in some way, but overall I found the way things went down very disappointing.
And I didn't really sense the "Stephen King" in it either – appart from the frequent gratuitous killings maybe. :/
upset they blew the ending they had an hour to give some soulations and re-start a new mystery. failed.
It sucked!!! I began watching it thinking it was going to be a good mini-series (anyone remember what that means) and it turns in to this??? SERIOUSLY? It started great, has had some great points but please, please don't let this be another LOST where we keep a bunch of people on an island for years and years… The Dome concept can only retain its freshness for so long before it starts to strain credulity and right now, it's about there… After a couple weeks in real time of living in isolation like this, while being teased, people would be tearing one another to shreds, even more than they are. Why didn't they just stay true to the book and create one really awesome mini-series? Why does everything HAVE to be season 1, season 2, etc? What's wrong with a really awesome mini-series? I'm tired of seeing an awesome story destroyed because someone wants to try to milk it for ever cent.
While there were way to many loose ends to tie up tonight to have closed the story out properly, they could have done so in another episode and then moved on to other projects. Also, I really have to interject this here, how realistic is it for a young girl to go and find keys in a police station for the cells but for there NOT to be a handcuff key ANYWHERE??? I spent 10 minutes yelling at the T.V. for them to get the guy OUT of handcuffs only for him to be recaptured by the village idiot (Jr). Doesn't anyone in the town have a brain (by town I mean the screen writers)? Think about it, good Ole Big Jim blames Barbie for the murders of everyone that HE (big Jim) was last seen with??? Granted, the Rev's death is understandable but how does anyone know about Maxine's mom's death? The only one who found the body get's later killed by good ole big jim… Are they intentionally writing it this way to make it unbelievable? Stephen King is a GREAT writer, but I can tell whoever is doing the screenwriting here needs some help.
After reading the book, I was anxious to see the series on TV. What a monumental disappointment! The book was quirky, but the series was dull and silly. Nothing connected – the characters were conflicted, but not in an interesting way. The story made NO sense – was there even a plot? I have wasted hours of my life that I will never get back. I won't watch one minute of the sequel – sequel to what? Why didn't they just take King's novel, follow the storyline, keep the characters as written and give the stupid series the novel's ending – alien kids watching an ant farm!
Wasted a summer watching this…will not get sucked into watching a second season.
Very, very disappointed in the final episode – it didn't make sense and just left us hanging. I won't watch a second season of this show.
Surprised that the this got signed for another season, The show became incredibly confusing: what did Big Jim have to do with the Dome? It was hinted that he had something to do with it but what? What was Barbie doing in Chesters Mills? Remember the lady who 'had something' on both Big Jim and Barbie? She just seemed to pop in out of nowhere when they ran out of plot lines. Totally disappointing as it went on. Totally disappointing 'ending.' Sjpw got childish and silly.
I was hoping that CBS would do the classy thing and end the story, a la Sundance and "Top of the Lake." What TV does not need is another long-drawn-out show which is just on the screen because the desired demographic watched it for a few weeks in the summer. Know when to stop.
what happened?i will not watch another season of under the dome i feel ripped off of my time!
We were promised an ending. And an answer. And we got neither. What a disappointment. I won't be back. This was as bad as ABC's non-ending to Flashforward!
Maybe this was a conspiracy by Stephen King to psychologically brainwash us into buying his book. But he forgot about the internet. The truth is out there, and probably can be found for free. With Google.
Agree with most comments here, very disappointing. Wasn't surprised as some have been here about second season as that was mentioned upfront, some of u must have missed that. But very disappointing and NOTHING like the book except for the title at this point. I thoroughly agree with Charles's comment. If they don't redeem themselves within the first 5 mins of second Season I'm done. Started out very well, turned into a mindless soap,opera type show. Didnt do the book any justice, I'm a fan of Stephen King have read most of his books, I'm shocked he's ok with what they've done to his story. We'll see.
I have to agree with the overall review of the general storyline. I did a lot of fast-forwarding throughout this series just to get to the more interesting parts. I don't know who wrote the TV screenplay, but it was definitely not well thought out. Though I am interested in knowing if the townspeople are going to grow a pair and save Barbie.
Been enjoying the series so much. We watched it as a family and I looked forward to Monday nights. What in the world was this tonight? My husband and I looked at each other. He said "didI miss something?" I said "that can't be the ending". So so so disappointed!!
the season ending sucks!!!!
the story of the last few episodes has been deteriorating.
i dont think i'll waste my time again next season watching this series.
I am surprised Stephen King has his name attached to this. The book was way better for something sci-fi that a horror writer comes up with. Dragging this into a second season and who knows how many more after that, a good way to waste a Monday night!
I wasted all those Monday nights believing there would be answers at the end. I will not watch next season!!
I am a a reader of all that is SK but I had hard time recognizing that as the book that I read. They didn't even tell you there was going to be a second season or when to expect it. Feel cheated,I don't usually get involved in tv series but it was SK, but not really. Not sure if I'll watch next season, they'll have to convince me quickly that there was a reason to rewrite the story.
But you had to go online at CBS to find out that this wasn't the ending! We thought, wth, did we miss something? Another season? When was this decided? You led us to believe that this was a mini series that ended tonight. Big, big, big let down!!!
Worst show I ever watched, WILL NOT waste my time on any other season, no matter who writes it. The whole thing was crap.
I don't expect a television mini series to be a great work of art, or to tie up all lose ends, but tonight's episode 13 was really bad. What was supposed to be a resolution and finale to this science fiction story was changed into a cliff hanger, and a very unsatisfactory one at that. I don't like being manipulated… do we have a deal for you!! Come on down for a very entertaining sci-fi mini series. Aw shucks. We're all out of those, all we have left are unending soaps.
I loved the entire under the dome series…..but the ending was not what I had expected. We are left with too many unanswered questions….I will be anxiously awaiting season 2…..along with many others!
…and the dome is what it is.I don't watch TV to critique it to pick a part of it inconsistencies or even look for if deeper meaning. Maybe its creators have meaning in mind or maybe they just want to entertain us. Barbie is hot. Julia is not…she finally proved she belongs in this story when she cradled the egg in her hands. Not even the curious, clueless,but open minded teens could show the maternalglow shesuddenly developed. So I dunno really care if it makes sense. I grew up on Ray Bradbury, Twilight Zoneand for you real old days The Prisoner with Patrick McGowan and his big red ball. You thought pink stars for a stretch.face it the story creators are in control of our imaginations. Maybe just for once we should just let them toy with us. What's the worst that could happen?. I'm having a great time waiting for each new crazy episode. That's all I ever wanted out of TV. If I want an intellectual exercise I'll read Kafka.
i will not watch #2 ifeel ripped off
I, like many others, was confused over the ending. Why would they leave everything hanging? The story was not that interesting to drag it out for another season.
But, don't complain here. Complain to the advertisers for such poor judgment in what was supposed to be entertainment.
I completely agree. The show started out so well and as each week went on it lost something. I was ready for Big Jim and Sheriff Linda to be killed off. I was just hoping that some things would come to a close. They left everything unsolved other than the Monarch. I think the only way I'll watch it next season is on my Amazon prime account. If it doesn't become available through that I'm not going to waste my time.
This finale as well as the season was a very big let down. Linda is the worst cop ever, and Big Jim somehow suckers the prayerful into a hanging. It was all too frustrating to watch and still care. I doubt I will be back for more.
It was suppose to be the perfect summer fling. It started out great, then things went really bad. This dome is never going away, now I know how the town of Cheeser Mills feels, they will try to prolong this series as long as possible and I will not! Just going to read the last chapter of the book and save myself from the pinks stars of next season.
CBS what were you Thinking!??
Started off great. Then every week it 'lost its way'
No Lose ends were ever explained they just 'faded away'
Next Year to find out what happened? Puhleeze…The audience is Smarter than that!
Already toooooooo long, how can they think about another season. Will use my time much better than wasting it watching any more of this!!!!
I cannot believe that CBS thinks that there's enough left to string this out for more than 30 minutes much less for several more episodes. Thanks but no thanks I'm done!! Thank goodness this network has nothing to do with the Vikings show on the History channel…
What the hell??? I should have known ,it's all about CBS making bucks with advertising…..once again duped…now I am angry, and won't watch again….lousy acting anyway,,
I will not watch anymore shows like the dome . we still don't know what after the stars fell.and now you wants us to watch abother series about it. no suck luck
I watched all but one episode… Tonight was the biggest let-down I have ever seen in my years of watching TV… I think Stephen King didn't think this one through… It wouldn't have been as disappointing to me if they had just finished the series in 13 episodes, tonight being the final one. Lets be real- the fact that the acting was way under an "A" performance, the story line was not at all scripted properly, it was way to out-there, not to mention that it really, really, really sucked overall, brings me to say… CBS should have killed this series off this season and never have wasted their money. Then, they expect us to wait until next summer to pick up where this garbage left off… Has all of the writers at CBS started doing drugs or something? I think we should encourage CBS to enforce drug screenings. To Stephen King… You shouldn't have ever allowed them to make such a mockery of your intelligence and efforts.
Can't believe I wasted my time on finale. Characters were (in the end) totally UNLIKABLE. Why would I waste my time next season? Will get the book out of the library (won't waste my money on buying) and find out how it really ends.
dont care what any of the comments say ive enjoyed this series up to this point and for them to leave us hanging to find out what happens is a great way to have people thinking and waiting up till it starts again. big fan of steven kings work and as people should realize books are never exactly the same as there movie/tv counter part
I will watch next season, but like most of the comments I blinked and then the news came on …and I said what the hell just happened! News came on and I thought I feel asleep or something. So here I am at
the Under the Dome website and like everyone else, and found out season2?? I will be watching next season but you will have to do better with information to the devoted fans. I thought the Actors did a
wonderful job, that's why I tuned in each week.
what was suppose to be a nice summer show …a filler for an otherwise boring summer reruns
turns into a trick to get us to watch next season… no thanks i rather go back to reading my book.. a poorly
written last episode… everything crammed into 1 hour…
I feel like I was place under a dome, and left there. What a piece of crap! What a waste of my time!
We sure got suckered but at least dean Norris made a ton of money this year.
My family and i realy enjoyed this season. What I can say about it is that I chose to open my mind and not judge the story. Which is hard being me and my family are intellectuals. i think with all the conspiracy theory's, new age info the season finally leaves my mind creating what the next season will start with. Us three are chatting and betting on the white light's purpose.
I was so disappointed. I really have liked the series… I knew and expected it to be odd and a bit fragmented.. it is Stephen King after all… but I was so looking forward to finding out what it was all about tonight only to discover some things were maybe/sorta answered then it just stopped and went off. I think one more hour, maybe two and this will come to completion. After it went off tonight I went on Amazon and bought the book. Heck with the series.
That they are now turning this "mimi-series" into a season series is a rip-off! I started this show because I knew it would have an ending at the end of summer. I am so disgusted with the way they are dragging this out and will never start another "mini-series" again as a result of this.
I found out about halfway through the season that it wasn't going to end and that it was renewed for a second season. Very disappointing as I only started it as I like the idea of a limited run mini-series for the summer. It also started with some potentially interesting characters and story lines, but went off the rails about midway through this season. Why in the world did they try to extend something that would have been much more effective as a limited series? Anyway, very disappointed in the nonsensical season finale tonight, and the cliffhanger was really not. Barbie is the most popular character on the show, so they aren't killing him off, therefore, no real suspense as to the question of did Junior pull the lever or didn't he? I won't watch next year, but may read the recaps for the first few eps just to confirm what I believe may happen. Too bad, as this show did have potential, but not dragged out like this.
What a joke. The book was better and had a real ending. Stephen! Yank your permission; this has turned into a joke.
I had hoped for some kind of ending – even a cliffhanger would have been better. Is this supposed to make us think – wish to see Season 2. Wrong – it makes me resolve never to waste time on it again
I knew the show was heading for a second season, but I thought the producers claimed there would be a much more solid resolution to the "finale." It was a really stupid episode tonight. I will not be watching season 2.
I have never put my thoughts online for something such as this but I am just to disgusted to hold my peace… this was the biggest let down I have ever seen on TV…
It all led up to this?????? What a huge dissapointment. Feel like a fool for spending all that time on this farce!! BUMMER. I will Not waste another second on this BS……………..
I just don't get it. Why not finish this series as promised this year and come up with something new next summer?!?! Why wreck a good thing?
I was watching the last episode less then 15 minutes ago, and WTF! The ending?? No, just no. I can't wait until next Summer for season 2, or another month because of the stupid cliff hanger. They could of at least left it off when they say why the dome was there for a reason.
This show was mediocre at best. What a waste of time. All season and nothing happened. Will not be back for more.
Ending sucked. Can't believe they ended the season this way.
I'm wondering why I wasted my time watching this non-happening. What a let down. Won't make that mistake again. Forget watching Hostages. In fact, forget CBS period.
VERY HORRIBLE ENDING! There shouldn't have been so much left unfinished. Not sure if I'll watch next season if it's going to leave things hanging in the air. Was sooooo disappointed.
I won't wast another second of my life watching this garbage! I'm going to read the book, and will watch another channel when next seasons episodes air!
Kudos to Mr. King on his marketing genius, Lame on CBS for such a waste of airtime,
My tv guide said SERIES AND SEASON FINALE. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed. I was ready for this to be OVER. Don't see me wasting my room on dvr to record the 2nd season.
Terrible ending. Hope there is a second season and Big Jim gets his.
This series is NOTHING like the book. The book was pretty good but not one person or story line follows the book in any way shape or form with the exception that the is a dome covering Chesters Mill.
What a waste of 13 hours.
Will these producers ever learn that people want some closure to show it was worth watching for 13 weeks. The producers under the doom gave us nothing more than we have to wait six months just to get back into this 13 week mode of not getting closure.
Wish Under The Dome would of gotten canceled like Last Resort and Zero Hour because those shows gave us closure, we got a payoff for watching it.
We didn't get any of this and I am through with Under The Dome and I bet that in the six months that it takes before it starts up again, America will also be sick of Under The Dome.
Oh you have GOT to be kidding. read the book !! The TV show veered off the book plot almost right away. This was a train wreck that I wanted so much to get better and it just fizzled out. Watch at your own risk- I've got better things to do than recap the hideous holes in this show-especially this "last" episode.
to good for this should of never done a 2 nd season. Just makes you like every one else. AND THATS NOT YOU
It sucked big time. The actors in the commercials were better than in the show. I will not watch another minute of this pathetic series.
Really??? It was suppose to be a mini series, meaning there would be an ending. But now CBS sees money and request season 2. I wanted to find out about the dome and the resolution. not wait months for more episodes. Tired of Big Jim and Junior. Not enough material left for another season.
WTF? I was expecting a little more substance. A "Series Finale" should tie up all of the loose ends. A "Season Finale" leaves you hanging.
lied to us. lost interest in liars.
What a rip off. It was mediocre and predictable all season but I hung in there because I knew it would end and all would be tied together. Didn't see it was renewed. I'm done. Going back to USA Network. Their original series are original, and interesting and have satisfying endings.
They should have shared there would be a season 2.
Terrible ending.
First 2episodes were great.
And that ridiculous comment about how Big Jim was worse than a criminal….he was a POLITICIAN. Are you kidding me? That was so lame.
The whole series, the police woman makes sure that the law is upheld. So why does she stand idly by while they hang Barbie? How does dropping the egg into the water, protect it? If Shumway is the Monarch, why doesn't she have some insight into what to tell the others to do. The characters, especially Junior, are inconsistent. Ending was despicably cheesy.
That's your opinion. I liked the show and found it entertaining. Not fantastic, but enjoyable. You don't like it? Then don't watch it, it's really as simple as that. Stop whining because you wasted time on it, when you definitely didn't have to. That's your own fault.
Yikes! This was not a finale…so disappointed, I thought this was a mini series (with at least kind of closure) No, I have no desire to see this go on forever….
I originally thought that this show would be too claustrophobic to watch under such restrictive circumstances. Then I found out this was a mini series, so I stated watching it. Its been a very good show. But now that the series will continue, answers about the dome are going to drag on and on and…. I am not willing to invest time watching this show in a "Lost" drag it out forever style. I wanted it to end, and I wanted answers. Don't know if I can take another season. Bummer..
Thank you , I am so upset with what we thought h t was the final finale,,,we were never told it will continue u e til read here thank you.
Stephen King needs to stick to writing books only and the advertisers for "season 2″ boycotted. No fun to feel let down. I was beginning to think I'd had a seizure and blanked out the ending before the news came on! Grrrrr
The French have a word for it: "Boff" A hopelessly disconbobulated lame ending to a hopelessly discombobulated series. It may be back, but I won't. Great beginning as others have said; I actually had high hopes. Way too much random, pointless violence.
Wow- Stephen King ending….. I figured it was going to be stupid. Like some of the endings of his books- Like "IT" – a big mechanical spider for hell sake? Give me a break. no 2nd season for me!
Was super disappointed. I don't want everyone to wait to see if Junior pulls the lever or not. Should have at least made a 2 hour finale and got this crap over with so Big Jim could die.
Use to love Steven King, but this series was terrible! Have to agree with everyone. Not coming back for more
I love this show. Yea the season finale could have been better but I still love the show. It kinda reminds me of
Storm of the Century.
what the hell. I don't want to wait forever just to show people if Junior pulls the lever or not. My throat is getting burnt by the rope. Damn you Jim.
I thought this was a mini-series that would end this season. I thought the finale would have been the conclusion. Instead, I searched the story on Wikipedia to satisfy my need for an ending.
What a disappointment. I hung in there thinking all this would make sense in the finale, only to be left hanging. I won't continue to watch it, because it is too painful. I'm sorry I wasted 13 hours of my life watching this series. Stephen King can do better.
I thought it started out in an interesting way, new different points of views to build on but each episode to me was not staying on any specific track. It was too much of a soap opera. I like a beginning, middle and an end. Not a forever.
Thank goodness it will continue…. the Under the Dome finale was unfulfilling. Please let us know what happens with Barbie and Junior, Julia,etc……I'm ready for Big Jim to be locked up permanently.
The series finally was less to be desired-it had no closure and no answers to what the dome was there for, who created the dome, and what creators of the dome really wanted from the residents of Chester Mills. The ending sucked to say the least, leaving the viewers with a lots of unanswered questions. This was not the way to gain viewership for season two.
I enjoyed the show. Hated the ending, hated it.
I thought I missed the ending so I rewound the DVR but there was no ending. I watched every episode and this ending had no closure. I think this was a waste of my time. If I read the book, I think I will start with the last chapter.
Not sure if there is enough story for another season. It would have been better to have a superb ending tonight and think of some other mini series for next summer. It started off very well but started dragging along and stalling as time went on. Not a good choice to have season 2. A good ending tonight without taken away the effect of the drag.
UNCERTAIN!! Not sure what to realy think..i liked the show. and khbept on watching episodes but yes the ending sucked…but will watch next series..realy want to see big jim suffer consequeses…guess thats what will keep me waiting for the next series…but i guess thats what will keep us viewers watching..i have to say tey know what they r doin…thats jus my opinion
Why does everyone get so bent out of shape its just a tv show, get over it, and I'm sure everyone will be watching next season, give me a break
I seem to agree with most others–very disappointing conclusion–we were left "hanging" too much.
What a piece of crap… these writers need to get a job flipping burgers for a living instead of creating such vomit…
Sal was right, we had great closure with Last Resort and Zero Hour, we should of gotten some closure with this. Guess my the series not getting canceled like those other two we were the loser in getting such a terrible ending show. Sorry, I mean ending of season 1 and get ready for season 2.
No creativity, they could of given us some closure of the doom opening up with a warning that the world was going to get destroyed and you would be safe if you stayed.
Something better than what we got. I for one will not watch season 2.
The ending sucked, what were the writers thinking about. They could have came up with a better ending to the attract views for season two-if there is a season two. Again this ending SUCKED!!!
I get more pleasure watching bad porn movies than this piece of dung…
My Chimps can write better script than this. These writers need to smoke some better weed than the bad meth they are currently doing… each week and you have to wonder if they have some mental disorder… I say "Fire the writers" …
Season 2?!?!? I can barely get through season 1. Yes, it did start out well and I was hopeful that maybe there would be some redemption from past mistakes. Didn't happen. The only reason I'm still watching is because I was hoping for some closure. Stephen King's books turned miniseries have all ended up the same; good start then a rapid decline in story, acting and the ability to keep one interested. One would think Mr King would have learned by now. How can a season 2 possible come back from the abyss from where the show has fallen?
This was ridiculous; the show wasn't very good, I almost stopped watching many times, but hung in there, just curious to see how it would end, and then they tricked us into watching that stupid gag. No more dome for me, the monarch has died
I agree with Rick! We watched every episode and this just feels like a slap in the face!
So sick of the series never, ever resolving anything. Not sure it's worth the time I've wasted on it. Reminds me of the way Syler in Heroes always managed to win. For Pete's sake let the good guys win once in awhile. No one wants to watch the bad guy win week after week!
Terrible ending.
So bad so bad so bad . Needed a few drinks and then smoked a giant spliff to get over this rotten stinking turd of a tv series.
I thought I missed something and the DVR cut off the ending because I had company and couldn't watch it. What an awful ending. I went back and played it a couple of times to see if I just missed something. What a waste of time watching this series.
When saw the first preview I was not going to watch. Then I got interested and was left hanging at the end. The writer left the viewers hanging. Personally I do not like being left hanging. I would have preferred a finale that wrapped the first season up and lead into the coming season instead of being left hanging. Barbie did not hang but the viewers were hung.
This summer has been the worst I have ever seen for anything good to watch, When the Dome came on I said, finally something besides re-runs.We definitely felt it was compelling to watch. The end sucked! I could not believe it actually was the end. My husband said why all these commercials,they can't end this tonight with all these commercials.. Well he was right, what a ridiculous an crappy ending, We won't watch another season when they can't even give the viewers satisfaction of a decent and final ending after all summer! Booo! You 've seen the last of a huge audience, judging from all the comments.
Just FYI the original writer attracted the attention of Hollywood to make a tv show… But is not the writer for the actors in the tv show…. Once the tv show has begun, its up to the stage writers to make the show go on with what they think is good for ratings and make people want to watch. If you read the book, none of whats happening follows with it…. Hint hint….
I won't bother to waste any time on "Season 2!" They (the writers) already laid one egg.
That's enough for me. What a load of chicken do!
Very unsatisfactory ending! Very disappointed.
The ending was absolutely horrendous. This may have been the worst cliffhanger of all time. It almost makes you wish the show ended for good. The only thing We learned is that it isn't just the Sheriff with the IQ of a loaf of bread or a dead skunk, IT'S JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE TOWN. Sheep is too good a word to describe these people, they're dumber than sheep. There was absolutely ZERO CLOSURE! Someone wrote that they're thinking about Bruce Willis for next year? Not unless they kill off Big Jim. I'm not in a hurry to get this on DVD anymore.
I really liked it, the entire season. loved to hate junior and big jim.
ok really I keep rewinding the end cause I thought I missed it. So ???? I was, well, guess I will get the book.
What a waste of time! The Dome is a rotten EGG.
It did start out well but what crap it turned out to be. So many stupid, unrealistic and ridiculous twists, way too many to list here. Will not waste time on the second season.
A hot damn mess wasted my time watching this stinking ending ……POS
I think the ending should have been tonight we have waited too long to be put on hold like this im very disappointed
Cannot believe I invested so much time in this series. At no time did I think this last night was not going to draw it all together. Horrible ending, fooled the public that this was not an on going series. Bad, bad last show. Will NOT watch next season.
After expecting a finale, we get a piece of junk, and then I find out it will be continued next season. I don't think so!!!! I can find better written shows to watch. I feel for the actors and actresses in the series.
I kept waiting for the commercials to be over, thinking programming would return to the actual finale. I was horribly disappointed that there was no closure – not about the dome, not about Big Jim, no answers to why or how. If this is good writing, I'd better retake every creative writing course I've ever had — including Stephen King's book on "how to write". I just read that there will be a second season – still no reason to leave us with nothing of interest for next year. I could care less at this point and don't intend to watch a second.
I thought I'd mention that someone wrote an article a couple of days ago that asked readers who they would kill off before next season How many characters died In the last episode? ZERO! I chose Big Jim, Phil, Junior, and the Sheriff(If they were going to continue wirh her character being dumber than a rock)!
Terrible program. Very boring. I will not waste a second watching next season.
CBS has lost ALL credibility with me! What a disrespectful waste of audience time to string us along for 13 weeks and still not give us a satisfying conclusion and mislead us into an incoherent finale. Stephen King and these ridiculous producers need a serious lesson in NARRATIVE COHERENCE and how to show respect for a loyal fan base that stuck with the show in hopes that it would get better! I feel intellectually assaulted as they have ensnared the audience through choppy plot lines and poor character development. And to top it all off they deceive us by not actually concluding the series in a sufficient way!
Loved it all ,so glad there is going to be more. Keep writing more don't stop. Thank you
This was advertised as a time limited miniseries and everyone watching this "last" episode expected everything to be explained. It sounds like making this an ongoing series was a last minute decision change, and likely no one will be happy with this. Clearly, a blunder on the part of everyone putting this together.
I want 13 hours of my life back. One thing for sure – the 2nd season won't get any more of my time or interest.
I agree with the others. If it would have ended better I would watch the next season
I watched excited that this was going to be a summer show start to finale. I was very dissapointed that the end did not occur. I waited and thought it must be coming back on and the local news came on. I will not watch again.
I've also been waiting on "Hostages" another limited episode show. I told my husband tonight, we will not start it, because if it's liked it will be like The Dome and continue on and on. No Plot, just continue. Hate it.
Really now I had to double check to see if the time was extended…what kind of hot mess ending was that…..complete waste of time…
#1: the ending was absolutely inexcusable! You do not end with so many loose ends without letting your audience know that it isn't really an ending.
#2: the story never really developed. It was shallow, without depth.
#3: I have always liked Steven King, but this was ill-advised.
#4: Won't bother with Season 2.
My wife and I wasted a combined total of 26 hours of our lives on this ending? Forget it. CBS has
lost us for season 2. I've wasted quite enough time. This is why I watch mostly PBS.
so upset, waste of time..why couldn't it just end
Loved it. Wish Season 2 would air earlier than summer 2014 !
Disappointing ? Final ? ending, yet it is not final for many people but, life deals a hand to the elderly that they may not be around to the second season. Also there may be a better series on also. "Who shot J.R"! My mother was devoted to that program but she never lived to find who did shoot J.R. Had I known Under the Dome was going be a yearly series, I never would have started watching it in the beginning. I definitely will not start watching the new series replacing Under the Dome.I will change up to the movie channels.
really is that the way you're telling me go buy the book
Puh-leeze. I waited all week based on the promise that all was to be revealed? 9/10th of the hour was advertisements. .I'm sorry, but they lost the threads. The ending was a tremendous disappointment. To protect the egg, Julia throws it in the lake? And there's a major light show? Look; I'm a writer, and I could have written rings around whoever wrote this finale. Really? That's the big finish? Come on, writers, get a grip!
Under the "Dumb"! What a lousy ending. My wife and I were looking forward to the final conclusion, and now we're going to have to waste time waiting for next season. I don't think so! It should have been handled better.
The morale to the story is, quit watching TV and start reading. You could finish the book in a week and have the rest of the Summer to do something else. I only watched it to see what the differences were. I'm not going to watch a second season, I will just wait for the final episode then download it and see how they finished it. Way to many commercials too!
I wanted to like this show – I really did. Hate to say it, but I agree with most of those who feel they were "suckered" into watching this so called "ending." I will watch the first show of the new season to see if there is any "closure" and then forget it. I read and enjoyed the book but enough already. How much do they think they can squeeze out of this story? A story is supposed to have a beginning, a middle and an end – this one is open ended and everyone is really angry. Shame on Stephen King, producers and sponsors. There's enough blame to go around.
What a waste of time and air space. By the time it comes back for a second season, nobody will care. about. Cheaters Mill.
Boo. Hiss. What was the point of this episode? Okay little pink stars became big pink stars and some alien or angel storyline was introduced. How much time is wasted with people staring at each other? This is worse than the Wonder Years stare offs. Especially the mother apparition. Talk jerk, what's with all the mystery? Nothing really accomplished at all except they got to try out their butterfly CGI.
I will NEVER trust CBS again!!!! They advertised this as a 14 party story. Now they left us hanging! All for money!!!!! I will not watch the next season as BIG JIM continues to kill people and rip them off.
The most depressing part of the entire series is the DISHONESTY of CBS in pretending to make it a single season series.
This will affect my decisions on watching any new series on CBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought the news was so important today that they just cut the Dome short. But noooooooooooooo the whole dang thing was a hoax! Not nice
"I will give Under the Dome one last chance and it needs to happen in the first five minutes of season two's first episode. It's beyond obvious that Junior won't pull the floor underneath Barbie's feet but I swear……. if the brightly lit sky doesn't showcase Big Jim's evil doings for everyone to see, or if Junior doesn't at least shoot a warning shot at his dad RIGHT AWAY in the second season's opening five minutes…….I will stop watching the show."
Ha, my two guesses last week were the dome would get cloudy and the egg would start playing videos of the bad stuff Jim did. If I end up being right on both counts, the story line is ridiculous as I have no clue what will happen on very good shows like Breaking Bad and am usually wrong and satisfyingly so.
Loved it. Wish we didn't have to wait til summer 2014 for Season 2.
What a disappointing ending I don't know if I'll watch the 2nd season because it may end up to be disappointing to. They could have at least shown that barbie didn't die and left some clues for what is coming.
Oh what a really bad ending – I agree -shame,shame for Stephen King,Producers and the main characters – how can someone fight with hand-cuffs on?????????????
I loved it GREAT ENDING!!!!! can't wait til the new one!!!!!!
Crap! This show drove me nuts from the beginning, but I watched it because there was nothing else to watch. Then, I looked forward to the ending, the closure, and it didn't happen. I assume Barbie won't be hung because he's the only one worth watching, however I won't.
Please bring it back next season!!!!!! Awesome ending I loved it!!!!!!!
What a big waste of time. The ending was ridiculous! What did they expect us to do…imagine our own ending. Big Jim who was evil through and through seems to get a pass as nothing happens to this monster at the end and the writer just leaves us hanging. A total disaster!
This show should have ended tonight with a satisfying explanation of events. I can't imagine i'll still be interested enough to watch next summer. Greed overcame good sense.
well once again hes messing with us, has to be! would we have it any other way…:)
I recorded the finale and just finished watching it. Thought my recorder stopped before show ended so came here to see how it ended. So nothing wrong with my DVR. Ending was just bad!,, Soooo disappointed.
Extremely disappointed in final episode tonight. The entire episode was disappointing and ridiculous. The producers should hide their faces in shame-Under The Dome until next year!
W?T?F? I too, thought the recorder had stopped. But, nooo—the show just stopped. NO GOOD!
I thought this was supposed to be a mini-series at first, limited to 10 or so episodes. It has moved sooooo slow all summer, never much happening any week, it's been hard to justify watching. Since the first episode I've wondered just how a cow can moo in pain after it's been cut in half???? First big mistake. Not the last. I hope next summer has a very good show on another channel for me to watch. This is it for Under the Dome for me. Besides, The Simpsons did it first anyway.
Bring Big Jim a fake egg. Duh.
I love this show but I have watched every minute and can't wait to see the rest of it.
Now I need to go cleanse my palette with something more believable like Big Momma's House
At the end, I found myself thinking "I don't really care what happens to them". You're right, in the beginning of the series I was very invested in the characters, but to think an entire town could be so oblivious to Big Jim, and law enforcement too, and his son. They never really touch on the aspects of human nature that the book supposedly does. I keep comparing it to Needful Things, which still haunts me. This just turned out to be a bad drama and a bad thriller.
I didn't like the end. There were too many lose ends. I thought I was going to see the dome disappear and find out why it had come to begin with. I was very disappointed.
Nothing like the book but very good anyway. Terrible last episode. How stupid are we to believe this town to be? Definitely not stupid enough to drag on for another season.
terrible ending im sone
I read the book when it first came out and loved it! The show started out very well, but it did get slow, etc. I also thought it was going to be a mini-series, and I think it should have been. I will definitely watch the next season, though.
I knew it would suck after they announced the signing for a second season…I had already stopped recording Siberia a month ago.
What a can of suck. Shame on CBS
Love the start of the series, very very disappointed in the finale. Hope next season is better
The end stinks if you are going for a new season come up with something better!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with the sentiment here.
I just wasted 13 weeks watching this expecting a good finale.
I will certainly NOT be watching next season.
Great start, then it got lost along the way – terrible ending, didn't really wrap up one issue!
The ending reminded me of my ex – unsatisfying and clearly I won't allow a round 2. I have better things to do with my time.
Very disappointing, shame on CBS and Steven King… I won't wast a second watching a second season!
Lousy finale.
This seems typical of Stephen King when he tries to get into movies, TV or other media. He's a great writer – thoroughly enjoyed the book – but like his other works that have been put in movies or TV where he is involved – it turns out very disappointing. Stick to writing Stephen
Awful. Just plain awful.
I cannot believe I wasted al this time watching these episodes with an ending like that.. We were expecting an ending. If they decided to go with another season they should have said so. When the ending came all you could think was :What the ****". It was disappointing to say the least. Won't watch it next season.
What a disappointment. We never found out the real purpose of the dome. the woman said it was to protect them. Well, from what I saw, no one was protected. All the things that you would expect to happen under marshal law, happened. I wanted to see more interaction with the dome to see what its purpose really was. Like watching it stop big Jim from killing and manipulating pretty much anyone he wanted to, seeing it zap his rear to the ground when he's just getting started on fulfilling everything he wanted to happen in Chester's Mill…boring boring boring watching big Jim run EVERYTHING!….. snooze!!!
Give it awhile guys look at how man season there are for other big seires. Your not just gonna find everything out in the frist one. Personally i love the mysterious part of it most shows no days are so predictable, yet this keeps me on edge. Cant lie the ending was a little lame but its not just big Jim killing people every episode theres alot more then that to it in my opinion lol
The whole series was nothing like the book. Started out good but it needed to end. Listen to or read the book. Great ending there!
I don't think I could bear another season. I, too, was looking for closure with this last episode. It seems what started out as a great series has lost it's creativity & appeal. Now, it's all about revenue. Won't be wasting my time with Season III. Guys, seriously, you need to wrap things up.
Typical Stephen King – stupid. Waste of my time and very disappointing. If it said Season Finale I thought that was it. I won't be wasting my time on this dumb show next season.
I cant wait for the next season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was not a good cliffhanger. They should have at least given us a bit more info considering it was a season finale. The show started strong and ended so disappointing and weak. The book has a lot of material that could have been used in this last episode and I can't believe they didn't use any of it.
I LOVED this show and absolutely lived for Monday nights. What a STUPID, HORRIBLE ENDING! I did not know there would be another season, but they should have done a better job on this final episode. I will watch the beginning of next season, only because I have to know what happens to Barbie, and that ass Big Jim. But, Stephen, you let me down!!!!
P.S. sheriff Linda's character is an insult to women. No backbone. Real women would stand on principle & demonstrate leadership. She is nothing more than a modern day Barney Fife. CBS…you blew it on this one.
OK; was it just me or when the egg got dropped in the lake, did it jump the shark while falling in? How about we bring back Hank and just shoot Big Jim instead?
Lame – what a waste of an hour of my life. I guess I won't be watching "Hostages" after all.
That was the end?
CBS should've had Stephen King write it for the season instead of their writers. I'm going to watch it next season to see if Big Jim gets what is coming to him.
I had expected a show with an end, and did not want to get on the LOST rollercoaster to nowhere. Guess I got fooled again. Drat.
I think it may be the WORST show i've ever watched. I am embarrassed that I made it to the end (sadly not).
should of been called under the dump – Unbelievable story line – rotten ending. We re-ran the end 3 times thinking it didn't record. This is just like Lost and Revenge that goes on for years and years. I don't have that long – I am in my late 70′s. – Please give an old guy a break and don't make another season. That might just be what ends my life.
It was advertised as a Mini Series, but turned into a weekly show with how many seasons? Was very hopeful for an exciting end…but no.
I don't want to be this emotionally involved next season. The ending was such a huge letdown. I won't be watching season 2.
I thought this was the finale of a miniseries, so glad it wasn't! My son and I look foward to new revelations each week from this totally unpredictable show. Something totally different from the usual sitcom drivel. Of course it isn't flawless, but a "willing suspension of disbelief" is necessary to enjoy any sci-fi. As to this episode, the Monarch "earned the light" by being willing to sacrifice her love (by not giving the egg to Big Jim) and keeping it forever safe from him by tossing it in the lake. Test passed? I have a feeling the dome will save Barbie.
Well said Kathy! I agree totally.
I was interested at first, then started losing interest. Watched most of tonight's episode and the finale and was totally disappointed. I guess it makes sense if they've signed on for another season but I would have preferred a summer series that one couldn't wait for next episode and had a solid conclusion.
Excellent series I can't wait for the new season to continue.
My whole family and I started out watching it with great anticipation (compelling characters, and a storyline that was interesting, to say the least). Unfortunately, it did not follow the plot of the book at all, really, other than the names of many of the characters. Pretty disappointed in that, we kept watching, as each week was just enough to draw us in. The "season finale" was a huge letdown, though it makes sense now that I hear there will be a second season. Like Carrie-Ann, we had enough. No second season for my family.
What a stupid ending to "Under The Dome." I'm glad it's over and I won't be watching part 2.
So disappointed. I had no idea there would be a season two. Why? Season one was bad enough. It did not follow the storyline of book, other than a few characters' names and Big Jim's evil lust for power. Not once was a season two mentioned until I got online to find out WHY??????. I feel like I wasted so many hours of my summer that could have been spent doing more productive things. We are not at all interested in watching season two, and feel we deserved a more fullfilling ending…bummer. I am surprised and disappointed Stephen King is involved in this debacle.
When is Junior going to learn? It's just interesting enough to keep me coming back. I just want to see the dome fall and the outside world let in again. What will happen to big Jim then?
The review was spot on as this was a see spot episode all the way. See Spot be dumb (Linda). See spot kill (Big Jim), See Julia be irrational (every episode). And CBS cancelled Vegas??? The writing on that show kept getting better, not worse like Under The Dumb which is what watching anymore of this will do to your brain. Speilberg cannot do TV. He needs to stick to movies. This thing got so bad it looks like George Lucas helped him on it.
show was stupid from get go and didn't come back. nothing made any sense. hate sci fi when they don't bother to explain phenomenom. first rule of SF. glad I didn't bother with this loser.
Thought this show was the finale episode – period. Now a "second season"? I normally avoid episodic shows but gave "Dome" a try. There was so much promise. Now it appears the whole goal is to just present advertising (which there was quite a bit of as I saw things. I.e, Season 2. Doubt that I will watch as I see no little redeeming value in doing so. Actually that goes for most of the television these days.
Unbelievable! We felt really betrayed by this being promoted as the FINALE! We recorded it so we could watch it together , and were very disappointed. We kept rewinding it, thinking that we must've missed something. There was NEVER a mention of a second season, so the viewers have really been mislead. We WON'T be watching next season because of the way this was handled. We hope you read your viewers comments and will take their opinions into consideration……
I can not agree more with all the previous reviews. The Dome got worse every week and to have such an inconclusive last episode was the worst. If Stephen King thinks that will make me return next season he is definately wrong. What he has done is encourage me to buy the book.
I only watched this piece of garbage because I saw a blurb about the "season finale". Never watched the show, but googled it to watch the entire series online. Watched ep. 1.. saw some potential.. watched #2. Decided, this was not worth going through another 10 hrs, so skipped to the alleged ending.
Wow.. I'm thinking, some decisions I make really pay off. Another season of this crap?? Seriously?? I MAY just wait 'til they finally show a REAL end episode, and then look again for it online. Or not. Because frankly, I'd have to wanna waste at least another hour of my life on this pure vomit..
I thought the premise was ridiculous to begin with but I went along for the ride because I liked a couple of the characters, especially Barbie. I may tune in just to see what happens to Barbie and if Julia comes to the rescue. But if something better is challenging their time spot, I'm gone.
This was a really suck-ass "bait & switch" ending. CBS lied to & mislead a faithful audiance. I'll not watch this program again.
Last time I watch a Steven King Movie that he's involved in the making of the movie. What a waste of time. Never again
I can't believe I wasted an hour each week for the entire summer watching bad acting, waiting to learn the mystery of the dome; and then all we get is that the dome was sent to protect the town. Why? So we could watch an entire season of these characters running around trying to figure it out. I have a hard time being sympathetic with even the best of them. Guess it's my own fault for not reading the book. But don't tell me how it all ends!
Limp writing…horrible acting…stupid ending…and now another season? I don't think so.
I kept hoping the show would make sense at some point. It took too long to come together and I was left disappointed and wishing that it would at least be over. I usually like King's work. I have watched all of "Under The Dome" that I can stand.
I hate this show because they lied about the answers we were suppose to get. Not watching another season especially when there wasnt going to be another season.
This finale sucked big time because they lied to us about the finale. I though this was the end forever but apparently they are having another season. Good luck with that but I wont be watching.
Chester's Mill: where jumping to conclusions is our favorite sport
maybe the worst thought out concept for a show..ever..it;s like every week the writers were thinking.."what do we do now"?
5 minutes after the show ended I called my cable company and cancelled cbs.
BIG disappointment! Huge Stephen King fan so I hung in there and watched the whole thing…he could not have had anything to do with this!
I think the writer/director spilled coffee and used the last two pages of the script to clean it up. The show in general was great, however after watching the last episode, I know feel I need to be re-educated because I wasted all that time on a show with no resolve. I understand a cliff hanger for season 2 but that was ridiculous. What happened CBS?
I'd like to do to CBS what the Dome did to the cow.
I had an appointment and got back home in time to watch the final 15 minutes. Huge disappointment. I kept thinking "is there more", "is it on next week", "what's going on"? I'm not sure I want a next season. Do I really want to see Big Jim knocking off more people? NO!
I was in denial at first. No, the news isn't on, the show's not finished. What the heck! I truly can't figure out how they are going to come up with a whole second season and I liked the idea of a "novela" like this one. One more episode will do it.
"Under the Dome" just makes me tired all over. It had a promising beginning but I am reminded of what the folks at "Twin Peaks" did to their viewers – disrespect them with lame plot points and even stupider characters. Please throw Linda into a branch chipper for the sake of my sanity. As for Big Jim and his hideous offspring spontaneous combustion would be nice. How bad can Stephen King's financial situation be that he has to associate himself with such nonsense? Last night I walked out mid-show – I just couldn't stand another minute. Are they all dead yet?
I like the series just wish I know was going cont till next season and I will watch next season u have some very negative people if they don't like why they watch ??????????? better then all that realty shows!!!!!!!!!!!
Season 2? Who cares? We wasted HOURS of our lives watching this increasingly so-so show only to have it end (finally we thought)….with NO ENDING. We will never ever watch a mini-series on CBS. Maybe we'll block CBS completely. Think you were clever with that ending? Nope. You tarnished the reputation of CBS, Stephen King, Amazon and your advertisers. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Very disappointing. Surprised King would allow this. The ending is nothing like the great ending of the book. The series is just a bunch of fluff hiding a great story. I won't watch another episode.
A horrible scam.i was impressed that it would have a finale,but no.no class in dragging it out for the cash.
UNDER THE DOME HAD THE WORST FINALE OF TV SHOW HISTORY! I hate CBS, and shocked Spielberg would allow such an ending. Why should we tune in again next season to be strung along for ridiculous action and crappy dialogue? "You're worse than a criminal, you're a Politician". OMG! Sounds like film students wrote the dialogue! Then to have no clear ending, and no answers to the most important questions we've been waiting all season to find out? Ridiculous! TOTAL CRAP!
Is this going to be another "Lost", where the writers have no clue how to explain anything, and leave you hanging in the dark while they drag the episodes out not telling you much of anything.
The "TV show" has absoutlely nothing in comman with the book. If you are to get angry with someone, it should be Stephen Spielberg, not Stephen King. Spielberg re wrote it entirely.
Why do I see so much blame on Styephen King here? The ONLY think his book and this TV show have in common is the "name". Stephen Spielberg "rewrote" it, why isn't the balme going where it is supposed to go?
CBS advertised "season finale". Clearly they do not know what a finale is. I will not watch another episode as the book was sooooo good and the series was not even close to the book. What a disappointment. That was no ending and I for one won't bother with the next season.
Awesome show, Cant wait for the next season
Didn't read the book but thought the show was interesting at first but became very far fetched, thought it was ending last night and now finding out there will be a second season don't really know where the story could possibly lead. Should have ended with the finale I thought!
Well….that was a colossal waste of time!! Thought the "Series" was only 13 episodes, but noooo, we get to endure more drivel!!
Not for me, they can hang Barbie for all I care.
Stephen King should be ashamed of himself for giving away another classic writing, only to see the imbeciles of TV ruin it!
I watched fathfully and was ready for the great ending . Sad to say it didn't come and I will not watch next season. Feel scammed
The dome story was just a vehicle for endless commercials…………does season 2 end with a season 3 ????
This is another "Gilligan's Island/Lost In Space" the story line will get wackier, and the Dome will never come down.
I thought the series was going to end like the book and this was the end of the series? this ending was weird.
Geez people it's only a TV show. Why do we have to spend so much time blaming who is responsible for its content. I looked forward to watching it every week. It was entertaining television. I liked it – will watch next season.
Its a show… to relax and enjoy! I loved it and cannot wait till next season.
The show was good till the end and I was so disappointed in the last show Steven king sucks
Calipoly – you describe yourselves as intellectuals? Try learning some grammar – "my and my family" should be "my family and I." And "Us three" should be "we three." Figures that you would enjoy the Dome. Just sayin.
Betrayed… I really promoted this series… Betrayed
I also confused. Didn't know there was a second season. I kept waiting for an ending.
I read the book, only the characters were the same with a few additions and a couple subtractions. The story was totally different except for the dome. I've been disappointed with a couple of Steven King's works, notably the endings so no surprise!!
I too didn't realize there was another season….I guess that's why it ended so weird. But, LOVE the show!
Terrible ending!! Very disappointing! Needed to see Jim get his ' come-uppings", and Barber freed. Very disappointing! Wasted my time watching it all summer. Won't make the same mistake next season!!!
Maybe I didn't pay attention, but I (and apparently many others) was under the impression this whole time that it was just a mini-series, like all Stephen King mini-series before it, until this morning when, wondering if I had been "Sopranoed" again, I checked the Internet. Low and behold – they are making a series out of it….yay?
I feel lied to, and led on. I was enjoying the show for what it was – entertainment – and was looking forward to seeing how they wrapped it all up. They didn't, and I'm not waiting around for CBS to "fix this" with another season. I will not be "Lost" again.
The whole thing was abysmal. I can't believe King let them trash his book this way. Why they abandoned a stellar and compelling story and turned it into such a mess is too bizarre to fathom. Whoever did it oughta be lobotomized. Shame on the miscreants that did this.
I gave this a shot because it was available streaming on Amazon Prime, but about 2 episodes in, I thought it was poor acting and definitely bad writing, so I decided to forget it instead of give myself a migraine trying to figure it out. Based on reading this re-cap, I've made the right decision.
I watched as this summer special began to make less and less sence each week. I was getting soooo tired of watching big Jim kill anybody and everybody he felt like, people being so stupid not to be able to figure simple things out, the only reason I watched the last two episodes was to see Jim get his. No ending. I for one will not watch the first episode next season, and I say "foul, false advertising"
This series, which I've watched faithfully (not sure why), has the shallowest, dumbest characters of any I've seen lately. And the plot is pretty silly, too, as synopsis above suggests. Surprised that this was renewed when other series far more interesting and compelling were dumped such as 666 Park Avenue. Or was it 999 Park Avenue?
The cliff hanger top the most stupid season finale i've ever seen!
Are you serious!!!??? I cannot believe I made my whole family watch this entire season, against my better judgment, ONLY to find out…..well, NOTHING!!!! I thought for sure since it is a Stephan King creation that something would come of the finale!!!! Soooooo not happy. As the final 10 min was nearing last night we realized that we weren't going to get a good ending. I'm so disappointed!!!! All I wanted to know was…. Something….anything…..give us some kind of ending. Why would I watch next season when I can't even figure this season out.
The show was a bit slow but on CBS it was cut to pieces by to many commercials. To many, to often and they were all bad.
As with all Steven King stories, you have to accept a preposterous premise from the very beginning. But the characters are supposed to behave in a way that believable. The writing in this series got more ridiculous every week, apparently as they decided that it would not end at the end of this season. The worst was the final episode where Barbie spends 90% of the time with friends and supporters – NONE OF WHOM THINK TO REMOVE HIS HANDCUFFS! Apparently, in addition to being an overall good guy, his bladder is the size of the Goodyear Blimp. And he meekly stands on the trap door for the final 10 minutes, knowing that if Junior so much as sneezes, he will be hanged? When did his brain turn to mush? I wouldn't tune into this turney next year if you paid me. It is a total fraud.
David George….well put
I got sucked into lost and now this one. You will not get me again, I am done!
Wow, what at waste of time. Final episode to find out it is not over. This series was the perfect one season story, similar to 24. The acting was week, the event took place too fast and the only hook was to find out about the Dome. Are you kidding me with that scene where the women appears and can't even speak. Dude, these things what ever created the dome are extremely advanced, and when it counts most no talk. C'mon man. No need to watch next season, get the book and find out at your own pace. Bad job.
Watched every episode and hated it more and more each week. Bad writing, bad acting and worst of all no pay off just another cliff hanger to get us to tune in again next season. I think not!
This show jumped the shark in the first season. Nice job.
I am going to get the book! Enough just hanging in mid-air!
I agree with AndyBoy about the bad writing. Clearly Steven King should have been more involved in the script writing. Perhaps the worst line was when Barbie told Big Jim, "You're worse than a murderer. You're a politician" C'mon writers.
The name of the town should be changed to Clicheville.
I think Big Jim needs a lesson in simple arithmatic: At his rate of killing there will be no one left for him to rule within a few months.
I watched every episode for 2 reasons: Number 1: I am a masachist. Number 2: I figured it had to get better ( I was wrong).
The people who produced this have so much talent, what happened?>
Stephen King has proven his ability to write phenomenal novels (e.g., "The Stand" and others). Unfortunately the converse is also true. I haven't read the novel, but the story line and the acting on CBS's "Under the Dome" is so contrived as to make it laughable. When the last episode ended, it seemed like King had simply left us hanging, as he has done in a number of his novels and short stories. Then I find out there is a sequel. Can't say I'm excited about another season of this trash. I'm an old man and would rather go back and watch reruns of "Peyton Place"!
The show was exciting….but kept getting crazier…and the ending sucked!
Reminds me of Twin Peaks and how its story line sputtered, spiraled and exploded into a shower of weird special effects that looked amazing but explained nothing in the story. (loved it when Joan Chen turned into furniture.) After a certain point people will despair of all the loose threads ever being tied up and will quit watching. Have we reached that point yet?
What do you expect ?- Stephen King's repeated way of letting you hang to decide the ending. Something that always angers me, but I always get sucked in because of his talent to keep your attention. Also remember – this is entertainment – like it or leave it – that's what makes fans that keep coming back for more. Personally, I couldn't wait for the next episode – yes sometimes odd (his talent), sometimes "really"?, and drama for sure. Admit a bit over the top on killings! But better than some of the comedy shows on lately! Can't wait to see what follows!
I have a problem with movies/television adaptations of books where the plot is totally/substantially/egregiously changed. Yes please do read the book; the television series has little to do with it. I knew something was up when Barbie was burying Julia's husband in the first episode[!!!] Certainly, technical limitations of realizing scenes from the book were not the reason everything was changed around. For other folks who agree with my pet peeve, I have a suggestion: read Kurt Vonnegut's most famous novel, Slaughterhouse Five. Then rent or buy the 1971 movie. Now 1971 was a veritable special effects wasteland because it was 42 years ago. The only way the film differed from the book was that in the book the aliens were small, bulbous beings who had sort of tentacles for arms with fingers at the end that had eyes at fingers' end. That could not be realized in 1971 so the aliens were mede out to be invisible. I'm cool with that. So, while I found the series engaging and all, I'm really disappointed at the character and plot differences; believe me, they are at once major and profound.
The story line was so slow that I just wanted it over. This was presented as a mini series and ended up being a seasonal series. I hate being tricked to watch a show and will not be tuning in to it for the next 5 years (if it lasts that long) just to make up my own ending because King couldn't or would not.
I wouldn't look forward to any more solid answers from the book…read it a couple years ago…the ending is HORRIBLE…like take the season finale ending, make it even more confusing and less satisfying, and you've got the novel ending. Only problem though, 95% of what's happening on the show is a deviated plot from the book. To get a really clear idea, in the Book, Big Jim is much more akin to Heisenberg from the latest season of Breaking Bad…despicable and evil from minute one.
I thought this was supposed to end this summer. How could it have ended like this?? When is the next season? I might watch if I'm not too busy washing the cat or cutting my lawn with a pair of scissors.
I read the book shortly before the show started. To be honest, the book was followed very loosely and I recognize bits and pieces that were rearranged. If I had not read the book, I would have been very confused and probably would not have continued to tape the episodes to watch. Not after seeing so much deviation from the book. Yet, I also thought the ending of the book left much to be desired and I have read almost all of Mr. King's books. Still, the TV episodes have not been satisfying to me and I wish the story line had been more clearly followed. I am sorry to see it drag on for another year. I agree with Dave the Klone below. But it beats watching reality shows.
I looked the book ending – let em burn and be done with them…
Now I get it! Big Jim is really Randal Flagg…
I think the ended up ruining this show when they decided to turn it into a multi-year series. The plot had to be slowed down to a crawl in order to stretch it into 40+ episodes. The fact that we have to wait until next Summer for Season 2, frankly sucks.
They should have at least made this a mid-year replacement. Will people care enough to watch again in 9 months time, especially when they assume that any answers or resolution will be stretched out even further?
Very disappointing episode and ending, real dumb!
I loved this show and can't wait till next season. I hope it does come back every time I get into a new show they end it for good. So pleeeeeeeease bring it back.
Recipe for DOMElet:
1 Large egg or 10 CBS Knuckleheads
it fell apart the last 3 episodes
Must read tjhe book, it has to be better. Dissappointing as a series.
the finale sucked because it was not a finale, meerly a bridge to "next" season, wait a summer thriller. What was supposed to be the big finish was abandon midway, ergo the dragging feeling of the second half. What a waste of 13 hours. SK should distance himself from the lies of big network thugs. Good luck with those "second" season ratings, I'll look for a used paperback. Big fan of some of the other CBS programing, rethinking that.
Loved the show but disappointed in ending. There was no mention of a second season. So it really left me hanging. Will look forward to the next season.
i like Under the Dome. However, i do agree that the writer could have done quite a bit better on the last in the summer series. So, is there really a book? i would really like to read it before the series comes back. i did notice that Junior did not shake hands with his dad. It was very obvious which meant that Jr would probably be the one to save Barbie and the one to do away with his father. i guess we will have to wait to see.
I liked the BB gun Jim used to shoot the woman at the radio station. Look how small that hole in the barrel is
i really love the movie but the last show sucked. no one told us there was anouther season so u need to do way better gzzzzz
@Louise there is definitely a book called "Under the Dome" by Stephen King. It is very good. Not sure how they can make a series out of it though. The book had a finite ending.
The "ending of this series could've been better than it was……..at least let us know what happened to Barbie.
Gzzzzz is right!
What a waste of an "ok" show. Are the writers THAT incapable of writing a new story line that they couldn't end this one. If they wanted a 2nd season they should have ended the first story line and teased you with a little of the next one. NOT LEAVE THE FIRST 13 WEEKS HANGING! What a stupid decision. Won't be back!
Totally with you on it sucking you in and making you hang around for something that just didn't emerge. Not sure why they thought this would work for more than one season.
I won't return either. I see it wasn't just me that is pissed about the crap the was called a show last night. It left me pissed. It was to be 13 shows and end last night. But no I was lied to for greedy people wanting to make more money. I won't be back, I planned to read the book. Not now, I'm to pissed and will not give one red cent to Steven King OR ANYONE having to do with this crap. No show has ever made me this mad , I'm 58 years old and watched a lot. You people screwed up big time. I see from post I'm not alone
Wow…what a huge disappointment. THE ENDING WAS LIKE A BAD JOKE……..STILL SCRATCHING MY HEAD ABOUT THE PUNCH LINE. I almost think another batman movie, or a Rocky movie would be a better attraction.
Horrible! Kept waiting for something to match the book, but finally gave u.p, and it was still horrible. Agree with all comments below. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
I fell asleep. Thanks for letting me know I didn't miss anything.
The show never matched the book, right from the start. I do wish they had made it clear that it was not just a 13 episode series. By the time it starts up again next summer I will have to watch the last few episodes from this year to refresh my memory. All in all, I did like the show.
I was rather let down in the end. I enjoyed all 13 weeks, watched faithfully and then left out to hang. I am disappointed and will probably not watch again. I was emotionally tied to some of these characters and will not want to be hurt again.
Okay. I heard rumblings of extending it, but didn't know that was actually happening. I thought the story was ending and when the show went off, all I could think was did I miss something? Myabe I should have.
I was looking forward to having all or at least most of the story questions finally answered. Last night answered nothing. They want all of us to watch this new TV series. Well I feel disappointed and used.That
last episode was a crime and I will not watch the "DOME"weekly series. Fool me once shame on you,Fool
me twice etc…
Loved it!! Can't wait for the series.
CBS misrepresented this so-called summer series…extending it because of high viewership and associated advertising revenue. Didn't expect this inappropriate treatment from the network and will not be watching Season 2, which will somehow extend into Season 3, etc. Bad form, CBS.
One of the few series I've watched beginning to end in many years. I was so pissed off at the final episode I won't be watching it again when it resumes. So disappointing that nothing was answered or resolved.
Could have been a very exciting 12 episodes, culminating in a satisfying ending. Even though it strays greatly from the original tome, some of the characters are well developed in the series. Linda is a jewel! I wish CBS had stayed with the original mini-series plan.
jr will follow the dome instructions.and kill his father which will bring the source of his mother alive again . the monarch can stop evil but jr doesn't understand how his mother fits into this protection of the dome . His mother from a very early life experience in a military experiment knew Barbie's boundaries and is why they are searching outside the dome for Barbie and he is inside the dome for protection. as with the handling of any egg.. Is it the dome first or the pink stars… One can not survive without the other so it will be an on going battle of good and evil ( Just what Americans are wanting something to live and die for)
I did like the show throughout the summer – it was the only non-re-run. And I couldn't wait for the finale. Well, it was a very lame finale… and if they think I am going to hang out when it runs again, well, they have another thing coming. TV is often a waste of my time. But this was a serious waste of time. A finale with no resolution? I'm done. Been fooled by them once. Not again.
Where have all the good writers gone? Under The Dome just another nighttime soap opera. It had potential if the writers had put the plot ahead of their personal gains. In the long run they would have done better. They promised us closure and delivered a to be continued instead….very sad.
CBS sucks. We thought we were watching a 12-episode summer diversion and they promised that in the beginning. This show is not worth watching a second season. Too bad, CBS. You could have just let Junior kill his dad and save Barbie.
I was disappointed with the last episode but I will stay faithful and wait for Season 2.
I knew early on that it would probably be extended because it dragged on each week.
I have hope that Season 2 will not be as slow and start to make sense.
Either way, I love Stephen King and he is very involved in Season 2
Don't bother to renew this–very poor finale with no point to the show whatsoever. Read your Bible folks, for the real ending.
I wasn't expecting the finale of Season one to leave me hanging but it did.
I did not read the BOOK because I had read that the series was not the same as the BOOK.
i am a fan of King and He will be very involved with Season 2 so I am going to watch it.
Don't give up folks. Season 2 may be where everything starts coming together
That was the dumbest and most dissatisfying ending I have ever seen. They advertised the show as one that would be completed in one season which is the only reason we continued to watch. We will not be watching next season.
My husband and I love Under The Dome and can't wait for next season. Just wish Linda would wake up and act like the one in charge.
loved the show. not a fan of the finale but can't wait for season two
My husband and I both watched the show and loved it. My favorite actor is Barbie and I am anxious to see what happens in season 2. It is a lot better than watching the reality shows and being bored by the same script over and over with just different selections. We were hoping it would go to prime time.
This was SO disappointing. The worst ending I've ever seen, especially when we believed this to be a Summer filler. Come on, Stephen! Do better next time.
Good show but not crazy about some of the actors. Linda must go. Barbie makes the whole show. Looking forward to season 2.
Did not like the ending left me hanging and disappointed
I enjoyed the first 3 episodes of "The Dome" but then I began to notice that the players were speaking with very little (or no) expression. It was as if they were robots and the action was so slow! I tuned into the last episode and thought it was so silly and when it was over, I'm thinking "Is that it? Was that the ending? "Nothing was explained or resolved!
Talk about a *hanger episode*! This finale was TOTALLY unsatisfying, like slaking a thirst with mud.
King, you because a pawn to your own primal urges: money, expanded audience formulaic stories and human pathology.
I feel as if I've been rooked.
WHAT THATS NOT THE END!!! I thought is was a mini series. I won't watch it again
Loved the show – yes, there were a few down times but what show doesn't have them!?! Liked the show because it was completely different from all others… sure beats reality shows!!!
No way will I watch this thing next year. I resent being told it was a mini-series, only to have it extended to another season so they can rip us off for advertising bucks. The story could have been told in 3 hours, but it's been drawn out into caricature, and horrid caricature at that. CBS lost me completely last night.
Waste of time. I would not watch another season of this show, The story line could of been great but the writers did not have the talent required.
I loved the show but at the end I was left hanging in there…I didn't know if I missed something…because it didn't make any sense as to be such an awful end….
The last episode was a bit of a disappointment. I thought it ended too abruptly without revealing enough information. I like Stephen King so I will watch next years season 2 but I bet a bunch of the season 1 viewers will not.
The worst thing s King has ever written. dumb beyound belief
Please make it stop!!!
I liked it at first, when there wqas still mystery about it. Once Jim started killing, I didn't watch it much. Evenmissed the alst one, seems I didn't miss much. It was teh only show of the summer I would watch too bad..
We DVR'd it so we could skip the commercials and watch it on our schedule. What a letdown! I think that CBS & Stephen King can put this where the sun doesn't shine.
That episode kinda sucked. And it was a horrible place to end the season
I watched this series in part because I thought it would end after 13 episodes. Not sure I'm going to watch next year. May grab the book to see how things ended.
awful. couldn't believe it was over until the next show came on. stuck with it through 15 episodes to see what the ending would be — won't watch another season.
I watched the previews and sales pitches both on TV and in other media and decided it was a dead end and would be a terrible waste of my time.
It seems I made a good decision and avoided the show entirely.
Programs such as these re-enforce my opinion that TV is a wasteland. Long live Netfilx and similar services with no commercials and the ability to jump ahead in series. Yes, I do that to see if there is sufficient payoff to justify spending time in front of the boob tube through the 15-20 hours it takes for some of these series. Of course, strip the commercials and with only content remaining some of these programs drop to less than 6 hours of air time.
I read the book before the show came on. The books are always better than TV or movies. I'm sadden that so many of the characters are so different from the book. Barbie was such a hero in the book. I doubt I will watch season two. It's too drawn out. Are they just going to kill off people until no one is left?
The ending was abrupt, expected more. Didn't realize it would be back for a second season. I will watch it next season. My thinking is that many aren't going to be able to wait until then to see how it comes out so Stephen King will sell a few more books. Good strategy…..
it stinks how it ended will probably read book
Terrible. Mr King you sold out. Dissapointed in you.
I stayed up for that? It sucked …!!!!!!!!
Very disappointed… I'm going to read the book and won't be watching season 2
Well, I won't say I was disappointed. I mean, the TV series itself have deviated greatly from the novel after one-third of the season… However, I will say that overall, it is not too bad. The story, while very different from its source, feels like something Stephen King would have written as well. The principle characters are pretty similar to that of the book's characters (looks and personalities – especially Big Jim). I would continue to the second season, since Stephen King would be writing the first episode. It would be interesting to see what new material he would introduce into the series.
Stephen King has been my favorite author for many many years. He has never failed to fulfill the tasks he sets for himself, i.e.entertain, scare, or make us gentle readers laugh. Now, my eyes fail me for much reading, but I can still see the movies and they never disappoint. Honk on, Stevie boy.
Week after week they watched…and now, these posts appear as the most spiteful, vindictive group of "jump on the bandwagon" fanatics. So much negativity. The book was totally different than the series; yet, each week "Under the Dome" was the number one watched show in the TV Guide poll. If it was so terrible why did all of these people keep watching. Since it has moved so far from the original story, what else can be done but try to make it entertaining. I enjoyed the show. With King and Spielberg involved, I expect next season to be just as enjoyable. Summer replacement series don't always make it to a second season…this one did!!!
I absolutely loved the show and can't want til the next Eason comes out…I HOPE BARBIE DOESN'T GET KILLED!!! HE'S MY FAVEORITE CARACTER
I was under the impression that this was a limited run series. I will not watch season 2. No way.
This is the biigest "Fraud" since Season one of "The Killing"
I am so irritated at being duped I will not watch a Season Two
it was brilliant!!!
I loved the series, BUT it think this should have been a mini series instead of a renewed show. This really needs to have a conclusion soon. Is Big Jim going to keep killing? It is him against Barbie. Lets have a really GREAT finale instead of a drawn out series that keeps going just for the money.diluting the characters and real story.
We kept watching and thinking that everyone kept taking stupid pills this episode. The sheriff just buys everything Big Jim says, even after she discovered he was making drugs. Stupid!
A man enters a non-guilty plea.
Literally 1 day later he's on the gallows about to executed without trial, and an entire town including the town's last police officer just watch with nary a peep.
Kind of agree with the comment about this being a mini-series. People believe Big Jim just like they believe Ted Cruz, so his conning the sheriff and junior and after all Barbie is an illegal immigrant.
Could not wait for the series to start. Watched every week, waiting for the excitement to begin. Could not believe that the series ended the way it did. I actually watched the last episode twice thinking I had missed something. I had wasted all those weeks for an ending like that. No more!
Hopefully, with Spielberg writing the first episode of season 2, the show will move forward and take a direction. It was so predicably monotinous….every week same thing. I kept watching because of the Speilberg connection – I just knew it had to be better than this…….We shall see.
Blacklist looks very promising – especially with Spader as a villian/hero. Yummy.
That is all.
it really is a long way from the book in which Angie died in the first chapter and Barbie was a fry cook
Yep. The book was much better. Best thing was that poor cow splitting in two at the beginning of every episode. You can do MUCH better, Stephen.
I feel dirty and used. Not tuning in for Season Two.
That was the finale, really? The wheels started coming off a few episodes ago. I don't know if I'll be around for 2nd round. Started strong,ended with a fizzle.
I wonder how the world outside the dome became so green so fast after the 'nuke' burned it down ?
I just as the rest couldn't believe that's it No way Jose have to think about something fast and better,very dissapointed…….
Oh haha I thought this show was awesome. I can't wait to see what happens next. I guess I just trust Stephen King. Everyone is so cynical these days haha, if you don't like it why are you watching and commenting on a article written about it. Seems like a waste of time to me..
Under the Dome…? Are you kidding me. This is more like watching a gay whimpy seeking for his hamburger on Tuesday and finding weed, as Brutus flexes his muscle and realizes he's farted, and a little Brutus pops out. Only to have Popey take a bite of celery and then chase it down with magic mushrooms, to save Olive-oil, and then find that the four of them are halucinating at a summer camp sleep over in the woods where the leaders are actually aliens… Give a break!!! If the writers of this show think we the audience will watch another r show after this poorly executed ending , I think the producers must have been doing extacy and and sucking on their lollipops.
wtf its a great series u must be stupid if u think its not!
I thought it ended poorly!! And honestly I thought Sheriff Linda and Junior were gullible small town fools!! I am very disillusioned about the series after how poorly it ended!! Honestly I hope they don't renew Season II, shame on you Stephen King I expected better of your books and writing then this crap!!
Ugh, Cliffhangers.. Starts up in 1 month. CAN'T WAIT!
P.S. if Dale dies, I'm done watching the show xD
