If that show had any kind of logic, they would have construction crews working 24/7 outside the dome trying to smash through it and/or dig under it. But instead everyone outside just stands around picking their butt.

Yeah, the army is moving with the same sense of urgency I got from a Sleepwalking Senorita at the local KFC the other day.

In the book the "outside" tries several approaches to breach the Dome. Also in the book there is at least a plausible plot line but the Series seems to be a basket full of cliches thrown up on the screen.

Cliche 1. Out of Town Lesbian Couple shown to be kindhearted and good.

Cliche 2. Redneck Male Townies hassle kindhearted lesbian couple.

Cliche 3. Christians shown to be idiot rednecks.

Cliche 4. Young White male shown to be a rapist and possible serial killer.

Now the book has "some" of those elements BUT they are balanced out by characters of the same makeup and proclivities to be the exact opposite.

King gets the rap that he is anti-christian wherein if you read his stuff and interviews you will find he is anti hypocrite-christian and is himself a believer but distrustful of most organized religions. BUT so far in this TV series we are only seeing the hypocrite-christians. Its sad really because the book is decent. My only gripe about it is that it is a heavy-handed attempt at a global-warming morality tale and the ending is a bit weak.
