yea that shit is sooooo stephen kingy... very dated.. but hopefully the show goes more JJ than it does SK..

You would think so, but this particular book seemed to avoid a lot of the normal Stephen King nonsense. It was much more subtle (for the most part).

Thought both James Franco and Chris Cooper were pretty solid, but they didn't have the feel of the characters from the book. Jake Epping/Amberson was written in the show as a bit more of an a-hole than the book, and Al Templeton was less Yoda-ish and far more "angry old man" in the series.

Much better start for this show than Under the Dome, though. What a pile of crap that was.

lol underdome is just another one of those weird syfy shows that feel like they are trying to do what the WB did to tv back in the late 90s...

like one tree hill a-fy sci fi.

I cant help but think that the syfy channel is really like some subversive christian evangelism shit
