Critics always hates grades, but they do serve a purpose as seen here.

Just out of curiosity:
Would it have been possible to use the floppy drive's CPU to give a program running on the C64 extra computing power? Would've been a fun rudimentary multi-core system.

Lack of a screenwriting competition is a shame. I vagely remember seeing season one & two and being fascinated by how they were hellbent on finding the blandest, least-interesting script that had no chance of turning into a film anybody would want to see.

I like to think the fight club lives on even after the dome is gone. People still gather in the cement factory tunnels to watch bare-knuckle fights and bet food on the fighters in a way that makes zero sense.

Few weeks ago somebody here in the comments listed all of Big Jim's killings. Adding the ones in the episodes since then we get a body count of about twenty. The show took place over four weeks, so on average Big Jim kills one person per working day and then takes the weekend off.

Norris did such a good job he elevated the red headed lady from "slightly annoying" to a "pretty good sidekick" during their shared screen time.

The "best death on Under The Dome" award has to go to skater dude - he dies and absolutely nobody notices, not even his best buddy Joe ever goes "hey, anybody seen skater dude?"

Six seasons and a dome!!

That scene was Dome at its best! Nothing that happened made any sense and the lack of detail really rewarded all the five viewers who weren't put to sleep by the dull episode by then. For example after the birth we see in the background the bed where everything took place and its pristine - I guess giving birth to a…

I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground fight clubs.

Remember the good old times when there was only a couple of Great Job Internets per day? Yesterday there was 10, the day before 15.

I lived in England for a while and I didn't find the non-english food very good either. I think English food is so awful that when people go to a non-english restaurant they come out thinking they had a great meal, even though that meal by other standards would only be mediocre.

I think Bill Ward definitely is up there. Whenever I hear Black Sabbath without Ward it always sounds like "there is some magic ingredient missing .. and it's not LSD". Other drummers just tend to play the surprisingly groovy songs too straight and it doesn't fit them.

"Alien baby is born in hours / days" is pretty much a scifi-tv trope at this point. On Star Trek it only took one episode to go from barely pregnant to birth.

That's pretty accurate, we saw several shots in this episode which showed the outside of the dome and there was nobody there. Apparently everybody just went "meh, it's a dome" and stopped caring.

He also stabbed a guard in the previous episode (because why not stab a guy to death a few minutes after showing that you can knock people out with one punch) and stabbed two more guards this episode. Under The Dome - the stabbiest show on tv!

But this episode had everything Dome fans could ask for: confusing plot lines, terrible acting (and a little bit of good), explosions, hilarious props and most of all stabbings!

** goes to imdb to check the new show runner's credits **
Yeah, this show is as good as cancelled.

According to How Music Got Free (a fun book) the German research group behind MP3 had a rough time for quite a while, but eventually did make a lot of money. They for example licensed mp3 to Microsoft with a deal that paid them a fee for every copy of Windows Microsoft sold.

I have a ridiculously expensive hifi-set (I work from home and listen to music almost all day every day so why not) and the thing about cymbals is definitely true. However I think the problem goes even deeper than mp3s - I've noticed that often the cd-versions have terrible sounding symbals too, must be something…
