"Under the Dome" really messed with our heads

Stephen King (and any writers who helped him) really messed with our heads with "Under the Dome" for three years.

He combined experiemental ideas for the western world like "Aliens" from other worlds trying to survive on this one with New Age religions and violet light and Amythest Crystals and Violet Eggs powering a huge dome that even nuclear weapons couldn't penetrate.

So, as crazy as this combination was it had no resemblance in the end to anything real in our world at all. So, maybe this oblique fantasy that could not be real is what entertained us in it's complete craziness.

So, we had fun with completely impossible, improbable ideas which made a real mockery of everything alien or spiritual here in the U.S.

So, the joke was on all of us. We left this series understanding even less than when we started. So, if you didn't have fun on this ride of craziness then it is your own fault for watching it in the first place.

But, for me, it was sort of like watching "Dark Shadows" the soap opera long before Jonny Depp's movie of the 1970s TV series.

In other words it was completely crazy and impossible in every single way. So, that was the fun of it. It was always impossible, it was always excitingly impossible. So often I felt like an 8 year old boy once again watching stuff completely impossible but also somehow satisfying the crazy tastes of an 8 year old.
