Well he's also about 3x her age.

It crossed my mind that the scientist may have had some reason for not wanting a mass exodus, and Nora threatened to blow his cover if he didn't send her back.

Not to mention what a shitty thing to do to that boat captain. He probably would have to go in after her and live with the guilt of her death forever.

You realize you weren't watching the news, right?

I actually yelled out loud, "it's her fault!" when Nora asked for the beard. It's such a shame to cover up that perfect face with unnecessary fuzz. Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

I assumed he used the fifth movement to take the other prisoners to another dimension where she couldn't find them.

What if that's what got her acquitted twice? Some kind of magic conferred from wood nymph heart eating?

I know it was a few years later, and fiction, AND a satire, but they sure did a lot of the grief counselor stuff in Heathers. So maybe not totally anachronistic.

Lisey's Story. Might be the first time I ever cried at a book. It's a good bit more supernatural than 11/22/63 but the love story is heartwrenching. I've also read that King himself thinks its one of his best.

This is pretty well explained in the book - reply if you want possible spoilers (if the miniseries follows the book) and I'll post them back here (well-marked as such).

Well, the town's only doctor is also dead, so where were they going anyway?

To people asking why Joe isn't wondering where his sister is, in the book at least, she's just assumed to have been outside the dome when it appeared.  I haven't been paying terribly close attention to the show so I can't say if Joe's seen her inside it before Junior kidnaps her, but I would bet that's why he isn't…

I took that whole bit as another nod to the institutionalized sexism of the '60s that the show keeps hitting us over the head with.  Husband wants her at home?  Give her to the husband.  He's the boss.

Fun fact: Revlon is still making Ravish Me Red, and you can buy it just about anywhere.

The Grease Megamix has been weaponized against me by a college neighbor, and goddammit, it worked.
