A very special thread for a very special StonerRocker

Well, goollolllol eee
Does Tina Tuner say "Welcome to the UNDERDOME!"?? Maybe that can be worked into the script.
Other ideas: Vampire sub-plot (big draw for tweens). Maybe one of the teen characters can have a Stoner Rock band.
An adorable Canine companion, a wise old black man, the sympathetic waitress, the cocky guy, the weak Dad and his mopey son, the tough lady cop, the evil man sheriff, the megalomaniac bald guy....
They are all there and more! It's a TV show, we know the rules and they will be obeyed.
if the adorable canine companion is not a boxer then i will not watch this.
I won't watch it regardless.
I feel a moral obligation to tell you you are missing a change to brown nose.
A change or a chance? Me brown nosing wouldn't be a change.
Does the dog growl at the bad guy, because he knows...? (Canine intuition)
The lady cop is an Hispanic, which will balance the races after the people under the dome interbreed.
They should have four comedic stoner characters - while everybody else is approximating Lost meets Bikini Bingo - these guys are cracking wise and busting out a jam each week on electric guitars. Tenacious D meets One Direction.
Is there also a mysterious drifter that winds up being the hero?
Much as I hate to say it - because I grew up on his books - but I'm officially over King :-[

not be before the whole town tries to lynch him first.
I was distracted by the stupid hockey game and the lifetime movie about Jodi Arias but I did watch this show and there's a few hot chicks stuck under the dome.
They really were proud of the cut in half cow effect.
Thank you for your support.
I dvr'd it, so did my dad.
Write in a lot more underwear scenes for the blonde and the redhead. Have one of them say 'im soooo thirsty' so I know you put that in for me. Thanks.
Great actors on this, so it might not turn into the mess that is something like Falling Sky's, which is unwatchable.
Missed opportunity for comedic cut in half by dome appearing scenes - conjoined twins cut in half, watermelon cut in half, etc....

You could have a dude "I don't know why I keep smoking these things, they're killing me!" And then the dome could cut his cigarette end off.
You could have a rabbi performing a briss (Jews are under the dome, I assume) - and "Praised are you, Adonai our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments and commanded us in the ritual of circumcision." cue DOME.
You could have someone piss on the dome.
They did have a wacky, American African dj and his sensible, overweight White producer. Their little radio station seems to be the only way the underdomers can get outside information. Hopefully he'll spin some StonerRock before his demise.
Now you're thinking - how about a RUN DMC knock off - He could be DJing and cutting and scratching and then the Dome could appear and he could have just one turntable and half a microphone and only one MC.
Enough with psycho boy with the girl in the box already - her shrieking and his bad acting.... when you take the reigns in two more episodes, please kill him off violently....
Also, you killed off Duke?
Don't forget to write a line "I'm sooooo thirsty" for one of the hot chicks to say, so I know you are thinking of me.
I want to see more of the sexy hispanic deputy. She is muy hot.
I did cry along with her when Bolthrow killed off Duke.
I want Johnny Handsome to beat up psycho boy everyweek.
I'm on board for that.
I guess this will be one of those series where part of the tension is wondering if they will suddenly kill off one of your favorite characters or a major player. I like the exploding heart mystery, but damn, y'all had to start with Duke?
At least two of the current characters die soon. Several more that haven't been introduced after that. We begged CBS to kill off one of huge characters. They've yet to decide.
why, did the actor say he wouldn't blow you? you are a harsh mistress, boltthrow.
When are you introducing the hysterical gay character?
We couldn't clear the name "L. Ron."
I would be fun to rock some loud heavy metal guitar under the dome - to get that echo and shit.

Dead on! When I saw the pilot for UTD I'd just assumed it was Jo from Eureka.
Well she was lucky that ricochet missed
I know how it ends.
Y'all want me to tell you?
The show ends differently. If we ever get that far.
I don't think that it will get that far. No offense to you or anything bolt but you guys have already fucked that story up.
Are you familiar with the work of Aristotle on writing ("Poetics")? I think you would enjoy reading about the different types of story telling.

that's good to know. I liked the book well eough but it once again proved King can't write endings.
Yeah, the ending of the book blew.
One thing I am liking about the show is that Big Jim is more nuanced. In the book he was an over the top bad guy and pretty much one dimensional.
Probably his farts will build up under the dome eventually
So the Hand of God isn't gonna come down and smash the Bad Guy? (like in the Stand)
Maybe the fart of God
It's a good thing they can squirt a little water in. I wonder why they don't pass written notes? They have a radio station (stoner rock).
Nice skatepark Bolt.
It turns out that only a totally awesome skateboarding stunt allows travel through the dome wall. You can also temporarily open a doorway through the dome wall by playing electric guitar (StonerRock).
Sadly, we are abandoning this show on ep #3, wife doesn't want to watch, I tried watching it twice now but wander away..... must Focus.
I'm going to hang in there a while longer.
At least watch the exciting opening credits of Episode Four!
I'm going to watch for....
(http://www.joblo.com/images_arrownews/under%20the%20dome3b.jpg)
I'm so thirsty
Please write a bunch of slutty scenes for the blonde.
Damn Bolt, they talked to everybody but you in this article.
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9478355/richard-rushfield-visits-set-cbs-summer-hit-dome
I don't think I was on the show yet. I got there for episode 5 through 10.
What episode are we on now?
Can you have a lonely divorceé do strip teases behind the dome, for teenage boys on the outside?
Trying to help.
Tonight is episode four - aren't there 13 altogether?
If you can spray paint onto the dome, it means it should start getting dirty after a while. Did people stop going to work? Did they loot all the stores?
All in good time bro. They are going to spread everything out for the second season.
The looting happens in episode 6 I think.
I hope the wussy kid that loves freaky forehead girl loots a music store and starts a StonerRock band called Black Dome. I see why you couldn't have Angie say she was thirsty - she was all set for water this week.
(http://parajunkee.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screenshot_6_25_13_8_29_AM-3.jpg)
Alice= lesbian hot mom
Norrie= freaky forehead girl
Linda= Latina cop that let her sexy hair down
Junior = creepy boy that kidnapped
Angie = the hot girl
Wussy Kid might be Joe....
Well, you let the hair out of that tight bun on the Latina and Hank found Ms Teen USA down in creepy's bomb shelter so we should be better positioned for hot chicks next week
Big Jim = Hank
What about Julia? I love her hair. Did you block her out because of the name?
And Bolt, when is the riot raping going to start?
Man, the love pact seizure scene was terrible.
The scene itself or Joe's acting when he sat up and went shhhhh? Because there was some discussion of reshooting that. I was for it.
Both really. The seizures themselves were cheesy and him whispering was the cherry on top.
Serious question Bolt, does it bug you that everything has to be dumbed down and spelled out on Network TV? The good cable dramas don't seem to pander nearly as much. Also, was this show originally developed for Showtime?
It's amazingly frustrating, especially on CBS, the kings of dumbing down and spelling out. The upside is the much vaster exposure. Once the DVR's were factored in, the UTD pilot got almost 18 million viewers. Cable shows typically get 4 to 5. So you do what you gotta do. And yes, originally developed for Showtime but they passed.
Yeah, it's interesting enough that I'll keep watching it, but I am always aware it is a network show. Plus knowing it could have been on Showtime bugs me. There would have been tits.
Being on in the summer doesn't hurt it either ratings wise.
It's no Challenge: Rivals 2, but what else is?
Orphan Black - woo hoo

Well Bolt, is it going to turn into that?
Yes and no. CBS has repeatedly asked for an "incident" per episode and so you end up with things like the meningitis outbreak. That eases up in later episodes as there is more and more mythology about dealing with the dome. But early on CBS was wary of too much scifi. And you have to remember, Episode 4 is only Day 4 of the crisis.
For some little Podunk town, why is there an army of hipster urbanite bad-behaving multi ethnic teens with lip rings..... They should look like the cast of honey boo boo.... Fat, blonde, pasty milk fed idiots.
Hollywood has a delusional view of America, but.... Duh.
Suggested Incidents:
The town runs out of vegan soy for their lattes - Hank leads a scouting party
Price gouging by personal trainers sets the town on edge
Holy Fuck! Bees!
The cast of CBS's Survivor™ visits the dome to inspire the captives.
The dome is shrinking
The show definitely needs more deaths and soon.
Bruce Willis!

How much creative input did you have on that episode Bolt?
Not much, I think I gave some notes?
Notes: let's have blondie say 'I am so thirsty'
Incidents:
It turns out they are not under a dome after all
Cutest dog competition
Zombies!
First annual Dom-lympics
A very special Dome Christmas
Dome wedding
Out in the real world living under a dome catches on and becomes the hot new thing
There's more domes over more cities!
Local teens smear poop on dome
Showers in the Dome next week and riots.
I would like somebody to say it is starting to stink in the Dome. Maybe next season.
I think I would like to live under a dome made of naked teenage girls.
The US Government won't stand the dome interfering with our radios - you can tell Bolty wrote that, since teabaggers hate America.
Alas, it turns out that the dome is indestructible. Goodbye preacher man. He was kind of a warmed over The Stand character...I wish you would kill off forehead girl, she creeps me out.
Maybe she should stick her forehead against the dome?
Then she will writhe on the ground mumbling about stars
I like the fact that I just have to turn on my brain a little bit to watch this show. Lots of excitement in last episode. And the latino cop is annoying.
She's beautiful in street clothes with her hair down though. Bolty?
She's also a party girl in real life. Here she is from Big Jim's (Dean Norris) tweitter acct:

What parts were you involved with on the last episode Bolt? The rape/murder riot? Please say it wasn't the lame deus ex machina.
I did a pass on the script but the moves were all in place, I just smoothed out a little dialogue.
I forgot to watch this yesterday so I'm watching it now.

Were you responsible for the "the people are scared. I am too." masterpiece?
I don't remember that line.
I figured that was just a standard CBS line. I did find it amusing that an appliance delivery van was out and about. At first I was wondering what they were delivering, but then I realized that it was a black man on his way to get his loot on. Pretty sly, you old dog. ;)
Bolty - the whole town is thirsty! Thank you.
Bieber Boy and Creepy Forhead girl found some kind of thing - I was hoping they would eat it.
those people are frustratingly unorganized. Comically so....it seems like they should form committees for water, food, medicine, security - and go house to house to see how everyone's doing by now... but no.
hey bolty, my mom's a big fan of under the doom. congrats, you've captured the two and a half men/big bang theory audience. :P
It's a hate watch for me. So much potential wasted by CBS. I wish it had been on Showtime.
I love how nobody ever knocks. The characters in the room will turn toward the entrant with fearful surprise.
Damn Bolt, why did you kill off the hot lesbian?
She got his coffee wrong...
It was nice of the kids to bury Rose. That skate boy is going to hang around Princess but she's not happening.
The egg is purple now, exciting!
I have something purple for you.
Awesome!
I wish princesses clothing could be more tattered and revealing. I fell asleep and now I have to watch that last one again. It's confusin with Hank on two shows.
So butterfly tattoo girl is going to be important?
She is hot. Bolt, do you get to hang out with her?
Not on this show but she was in my 2nd SVU as a teen mom a few years ago.
Very sweet, funny, big pot smoker.
Just looked her up on IMDB, she was on Swingtown! I loved that show.
Which one is that?
I see... Butterfly Tatto girl is Princess. She has an interesting face. Can you do me a favors? Have Princess say this line...
'You know what I miss most about living under this Dome? Homemade Waffles!'
I wish Samantha Bee was trapped under the dome, to bring a little levity.

Thanks bolt, now I like her even more.
That purple thing must be an alien egg and the dome is it's eggshell. It's going to hatch and then evil giant bird will fly around, fighting the army.
The President should be a character on this show. He could appear when people have those convulsive visions. Or maybe a group of widowers. 90210 meets LOST meets The West Wing meets The Golden Girls.
Less violence towards women and raping this week. They sure aren't interested in the outside or very organized.
Shaft, did you see on the facebooks that Bolt wrote tonight's episode? Maybe he put some lines in for you.
Okay, I will be nice about just this one episode. Hey, it's on in a few minutes.
From the description I can see maybe Samantha Bee is a go. It's probably to late to add 'Waffles'.
Natalie Zea!
I need a glass of water!
I'm so thirsty!
I think we need Bolt to explain some things about the dome for us.
How many people are under the dome? While Natalie Zea showing up was good for propelling the plot, having her show up and say she had been hiding/spying the whole time was weak.
How many days has it been since the dome came down?
How do they still have electricity? I may have missed that explanation.
Overall, a good episode. Fast paced, new plot developments.
I was hoping/expecting that the DJ would play some Stoner Rock or Doom or Metal in that one scene and was very disappointed when she didn't.
About 2000 people under the dome.
Last night was the ninth episode/ninth day.
Electricity is powered by generators which are powered by Big Jim's stash of propane.
That's a lot of damn generators.
Edit: Powered by propane.
Every week a different special guest star could show up and help Forehead, Princess, and Bieber boy play with the mini-dome with the nosey reporter.
Good god, who is the 4th hand?
Maybe because it's rural 'Merika that everybody has generators? ???
So conflicted Junior (who had a hallucinating mom) is the fourth hand? Would make the most sense/be predictable.
Whole house generators?
Uh-oh, A.V. Club hammered your episode Bolt:
http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-fourth-hand,101688/
The fourth hand is the fat chick from the radio station with the wizzy controller thing or whatever that thing was called. Or maybe special guest star Katy Perry!
4th hand is going to be a yout, Shaft.

Those are fair criticisms. The network makes us do so much dumb explanation.

That woman is so damn fine. Love her on Justified.
Never seen the show but this thread is awesome \m/,
Sent from a can on some string using Tapatalk
I wasn't there to shoot my episode. I only went for the premiere in Wilmington.
Damn, that sucks Bolt.
Is there a mystery Jesus/Satan figure about to show up? This show has a little bit of everything. Princesses clothes are starting to vanish and now her hot ass and midriff and boobies are on display and then some.
Did everyone's diabetes get better since two weeks? The dome is healing and schitzo.
So Bolt, how much were you involved with this week's episode?
I helped a little.
LOL. The show is at that point where it is so ridiculous that you just have to go with it or quit watching it. At least that's my interpretation. Not sure I want to meet the people that would take it seriously.
Did the four of them with Jr touch the mini dome? I forgot what happened the last couple minutes. I was hoping Princesses top would fly off.
Yeah, they touched it.
I wonder if Bolt painted the Pink Stars painting?
No, the producer/director did. he did the ones on Lost too.
That was a big ass lake!
Big ass lake? I must have been asleep at that part. No offense intended I take a nap in the mid evening.
Dude, it had an island in the middle of it with a million dollar house on it.

Allegory is way too big a word for that show.

Nope, I was back on Blue Bloods by then.

Yeah right.
Just read the book a couple of months ago so I just had to see it.
Well, so far. I don´t know... The book is way superiour to the show but still it isn't that bad acctually after 4-5 episodes.
Could be worse!
It will get worse. It will.
I just couldn't do a second season of it. I read recaps of the first ep season 2 and am glad I didn't watch.
Yep. I'm skippin it.
Just finished e10 of the first season.
Did S King really go along with them changing so much of the story? Was he srunk when signing the papers ;D
Everything that was giid about the book is gone sadly.
Still, it's not worthless... Enjoyable while guitar noddling at least!
It's fucking awful.
The Onion TV Club sums it up....
Imagine you're a resident of Chester's Mill. Not one of the main characters, just some poor schlub trying to survive a ridiculous situation day-to-day. One day Big Jim is the hero and the leader of the town and Barbie is about to get strung up by the neck. A couple days later Big Jim is in jail for trying to wipe out half the town's population, but by the end of that day everyone has gathered for a party at the diner and all is forgiven. Oh, and you're going through sheriffs faster than clean socks. At some point, might it not occur to you that the dome does, in fact, have a purpose? And that purpose is to seal off the rest of the world from the worst town on the planet?
These are the thoughts with which I tried to amuse myself during tonight's stupefyingly inane installment of Under The Dome. There may be a guiding intelligence behind the dome, but it's increasingly difficult to believe there's one behind this series. Alliances are made and broken at the drop of a hat. Relationships turn on a dime every few days or so. Characters exist for a season and a half without ever once making the slightest bit of sense. (RIP Sheriff DJ Phil.) Arbitrary nonsense scraped up from the Lost cutting room floor lurks around every corner. Even when the show appears to have settled on a workable framework for the season, it blows up the status quo every ten minutes, leaving us grasping at straws while trying to figure out exactly what this is all about.
You still watching Syaft?
No, I accidently channel surfed it and in 30 seconds my mind was jellofied
I can't understand how this show is now into it's third season.
