I'm not sure that those thigh-high boots were "Gap-inspired"—more like Frederick's of Hollywood! :p

Friendly? Welcoming? Wimpy?

How could the "Stray Observances" NOT include the fact that the Kinship is now wearing a uniform—where the hell did all of those blue shirts come from???

Nature’s first green is DOME,
Her hardest hue to GLOAM.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing DOME can stay.

Slowly…back…away.

Hmm, I love most of King's work, and I mostly enjoyed both Dome and 11/22/63, BUT I thought both could have used a good editor—both felt over-long and over-wrought to me. With 11/22/63 in particular (which I read more recently), some of the sequences about Jake researching Oswald just seemed to drag on and on…

I admit, I felt glad…and a little sad. When will we all talk to each other now?

Yes, this is why we can't have nice things.

Agreed.

Now, it's like we've been spared from execution, but still sentence to life (because of the likely cliff-hangers).

Hmm…bit tie (pun intended) between Big Jim untying junior and Barbie handing over the baby—both were super-stupid moves!

We are free…FREE!!!

Ha, good call, Mr. T! Fellow 80s child here.

Umm, yeah—and why the Dome again?

Along those same lines, Junior was strong enough to throw a man across the room, but not to break through the ropes that were holding him down? What were they, Kryptonite?

My husband brought up the comparisons to V!

Didn't you see THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE? Women can produce milk when needed.

To be fair, didn't the baby have an umbilical cord that Barbie cut with his knife?

There were 26? I really thought there were like 6 in the end, maybe 8.

At some point, are the resistance members going to realize that they can shove people like Barbie and Sam in front of a mirror to figure out whether or not they are still part of the kinship?
