Well that was a disappointing start for me.
An hour and 20 mins of virtual reality used as filler while the last 2 mins actually moves the story along.
Melanie strangling people was so annoying.
About the only fun bit was Jim telling Julia off for being so thick.

Gonna give it a watch tonight, then onto Between.
I feel the same, it took a lesson from the "Lost book of wasting time"
This could be the season where I lose interest completely
What's next? A secret portal to Narnia?
That all seems to have been forgotten in this episode.
I'm not sure if I can be bothered to watch the whole thing, especially if they're going to keep leading us down the garden path and not giving any answers.
It should be good... After all, it's based on a Stephen King novel and has his blessing. Plus it stars Dean Norris and Marg Helgenberger -- both of whom have been in award winning series. Meh.
It didn't. I'm done with this one too. Bye Bye!!
It doesn't matter if you watch or not. None of you have barb boxes in your house. You don't add anything to the TV ratings so who cares?
This is the final season and people like myself know there will be answers. Stephen himself says it wont be the same as the book so it wont be aliens doing experiments with people on Earth, it will instead be something different.
Oh, pardon us for expressing an opinion.
Is it definitely the last season? I can't find any website that says that.
To address your other points, I know I can switch it off if I want. I wasn't completely slating it, I was just a bit disappointed by it and I gave the reasons why. If I want to turn it off I will and I'm under no illusion that anyone at CBS will care if I do.
I see it starts tonight on Channel 5, although they're only showing the first episode, not a double bill, so it'll end up being a week and a bit behind America. That's not bad compared to most shows, but I will probably end up getting spoiled if I choose to watch it at UK pace.
There's nothing to be confused by.
It's all very simple.
The 'aliens' (if that's what they are?) lead all the people into the tunnels under the town and put them into a virtual reality matrix.
Why the aliens did that, hasn't been shown yet, but they seem to have been disappointed that the 'program' didn't complete and was shut down too early.
I hope that makes sense.
The Last Ship - which is far from being a quality drama - had a two part opener that was actually quite enjoyable.
Under the Dome? 80+ minutes of boring padding, just to introduce a couple of new people to the Dome at the end.
I think we are all aware of that, thanks.
What do the ratings have to do with people criticising the show?
We are watching to get answers to the mysteries.
So it is
Still don't like Big Jim and Jnr. Nor misery girl with the bow.
I don't think that ending could have been any cheesier.
