Well, we are sticking with Under the Dome, based on Steven King's novel. Please could someone reassure me that this will not turn into another 'Lost'? I don't want to waste seven years of my life following this to an unsatisfactory end!

Well I can't make any promises ;) but I think the show gets better throughout the first season (I have watched all the episodes online) and is more focused compared to Lost. It is a huge hit in the US so has already been renewed for a second season.

Anyone else watching Sleepy Hollow. My friends in America were freaking out about it so I've been watching it online and I absolutely love it. Don't know when it might air here though...hope it does!

Of course there will be an unsatisfactory ending, its a Stephen King story! :p I am not sure Mr King knows what an ending is tbh.

All the King stories I've seen televised put someone or a group of people in a really weird situation, see how they interact, until eventually one of them says 'hey lets all work together and love one another!' and that removes the weird situation which happened to be an alien who flies off at the end, and then happy finale wierd music.

With Stevie, its the journey not the destination. Just try reading that Dark Tower million page tome - OMG what a bitchout con-job of an ending.

Caught up with Homeland and Downton at last. Both very surprising and very addictive. Imagine them on at the same time and there is quite a good series on BBC 1 too.

Curiosity caused me to check and see what is on at the same time as Downton on BBC. Might have to start watching that one. Did enjoy Warren Brown in Luther. :)
