I read the book and really enjoyed it, but the series is deviating so far away from it, it’s almost a different entity.

To add to your points, the book’s Big Jim was more of a Boss Hogg, “good golly” type, and a lot nastier. The actor playing Junior is just bad...his acting is cringeworthy. And I guess he isn’t going to be a murderer with a brain tumor, but instead just a bug-eyed lovesick weirdo.

I’m surprised King didn’t fight to have the female atheist pastor in the series. That’s the only kind of clergy he has any use for.

I wonder why sound doesn’t travel through the Dome, like it does in the book.

I read an article that said UTD’s showrunner loves The Walking Dead and hopes to bring some of the same excitement to this series. Not likely, LOL. I’ll stick with this one to see what they do with the ending (it’s supposed to be different from the book, as well), but it isn’t holding my interest at all. I think it’s poorly done.
