Chances of watching week 4 are slim, bad policeman in cell has fake asthma attack, good cop girl unlocks cell and goes in to help, he takes her down, gets out and locks her in. Hmmm.

More sci fi in Emmerdale, better acting as well - pure relationship shyte and I'm deleting it, if a good interesting sci fi episode pops up let me know.

A few questions:
Why is everyone driving everywhere? I thought they would save as much fuel as they could.
Why is no one panicking and just carrying on as if nothing has happened?
When the two left the mine it was full daylight, so why was it dark when she dropped him off? How big is this damn town?
Why are the streetlights working when there is no power?

Light get though, so why is noone communicating using morse code via a torch?

The diameter of the dome was said to be about 10 miles.

A typical human response I would say, if you don't appear to be in any immediate danger then you would continue as normal and I suspect many would convince themselves that it wouldn't last for too long.

How many people in a sleepy US town are going to know morse? I don't know anybody; A better solution would be to get hold of a white board, surely all schools have them these days along with a good supply of marker pens?

Morse code?, Whiteboards?. What would they possibly have to say?.

"We are stuck inside this massive dome...HELP!!!" hehe

Government bods on the outside wouldn't have much to say either.

"There is a massive dome over your town and we don't know why". biggrin

I will stick with it for now. Mainly because I am curious about what kind of drugs they were cooking up with all that propane.

I think it's meth. Kind of ironic given Dean Norris spends all of his time in Breaking Bad trying to stop meth cooks.

I know in the last episode it ended up raining in the dome which is currently unexplained.

In the episodes before that happened I did wonder how it could be windy in the dome. In many outdoor shots you could see the trees blowing in the background!

Still sticking with the series despite the fact most of the acting is wooden.

It's not spoiling to state, yet again, the book is superior to the TV adaptation. TV insists that nearly everyone has to be young (ish) and good looking. Junior is a balls out loony in the book. The guy playing him in this looks like a lost A and F model. SK is one of the biggest selling authors of the last 30 years. This is because he writes good books.

When they are adapted too much gets changed and is lost as result. This was not his best book by a long way. But this show is poor. No sense of panic, fear or claustrophobia. No sense of danger. It's frankly dire.

Well it does not seem to be moving on very fast. I am up to "Speak of the devil".
I keep waiting for something really dramatic to happen.
