  I was just getting ready to post when I saw this note.  After 3 hour long
shows of absolutely nothing happening, I won't be tuning in next week to
see the same thing happen, AGAIN!

  This show is dragging BUTT!  We get 5-10 second seens watching the characters
doing nothing.  It seems to me that every episode shows:

  Gina whining about Harl getting younger and not wanting to run anymore.

  Terry saying things repeatedly like: 'if they catch us we'll just end up
   in body bags' or something
equally stupid.

  The SHOP guy, what's his name? acting tough, throwing things and smoking
  his cigarettes.
  
  And on and on...

  I was really looking forward to a good series and it's just dwindled into
garbage.  This is all just IMHO but I'm seriously disappointed in King's
work here.  Yes, it was quite suspenseful to start with, and the suspense is
still there but they simply could have crammed the last 3 show into one
and we would've gotten the same effect.  Why do they have to drag it out so?
