It's a shame that CBS and Stephen King got away with airing this trash all summer.
(SPOILER WARNING: If you haven't seen the season finale, you might not want to read this paragraph.) The season "finale" solved nothing, added more unanswered questions (don't hold your breath for satisfying answers to them) and left the evil giant Big Jim and his idiotic minion of a son continuing to lead the lemmings of his kingdom (with the help of the blubbering buffoon Sheriff Linda, of course). With each episode I was hoping that at the very least Big Jim's demonic narcissism and pure evil would be revealed to all, but that was not to be the case. The writers failed miserably-but why should they care? They'll be back next season.
I wasted about 520 minutes of my life watching this garbage show. I'm taking the time to write this to hopefully relieve some of my anger at myself for being so stupid. I should have learned after some of the other film adaptations of Stephen King's novels. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...well, you know. I will not watch Season 2, if for no other reason than the fact that I cannot tolerate Big Jim. I understand the need for an antagonist in a plot, but the writers went too far with him. I have a feeling this show will continue ad nauseum as long as it rakes in $$$$$. After all, that's what really matters...isn't it?
