Under The Dome (CBS)

[UncleChris]

O......M.....F.....G

5 more people dead last night night..... the town is going to run out of people soon.

The sequence where the evil kid kills the bad farmer was eye-rollingly predictable and stupid. The remote controlled bomb was interesting.... good thing they had a Radio Shack in town

Etc, etc, etc. It's like they're making this up as they go along....nothing thought out, stupid, meaningless "plot" activity, killing whoever happens to be close by for idiotic or no cause, and so forth.

My wife owes me big time for making me sit through this mess. At least I get to flip over to the DBacks game during commercials.

I fell asleep before they did the bomb. I did like the "shoot him in the knee" and then the son saying don't kill my dad I want to do it. Great acting and writing.



My GF is still watching I don't know why.

So funny. I laughed thru out the entire episode it just gets worse and worse (or is it better and better?)

Big Jim is like, I know Ollie has threatened me with guns and had a guy beat the hell out of me and stole all the towns propane but I'll go over there and ask him nice again.

Then he's like awe Ollie is still being a jerk and threatening me with guns so I'll envoke EMINENT DOMAIN and take 3 "cops" (loosest sense of the word ever) over there and we'll just throw down some eminent domain action on his ass and he'll just give it up.

Then he's like, awe man Ollie had one of his guys shoot one of my "cops" in the kneecap so I'll give everyone a gun and we'll go over there and KILL EVERYONE!!!

I loved that the townspeople were all like, hell ya lets all get guns and go kill all the farmers! And the farmers are like, hell yeah we are totally willing to kill all the townspeople!

IT'S BEEN LIKE A WEEK AND A HALF SINCE THE DOME CAME DOWN!!!

Things aren't even bad yet, lol. I hate to see how freaking crazy these people get when they actually start to starve!

Seriously it might be the best show ever now that I think about it. lol

 

[Covert Rain]

You know I still think I would feel differently about the show had they introduced the egg and other supernatural elements all upfront. The part I have a hard time reconciling is that at first the show tried to play things grounded even though it was a big dome. It's almost like they didn't want the audience to get turned off my those elements.

It's almost like that old Twilight Zone where people think there's aliens in some neighborhood and they start rioting and killing each other. It's actually a setup, by aliens, who figured out long ago they don't actually have to invade you just make people think you're there and they all turn on each other and do the dirty work for you.

Ahhhhh, yes!!!! There was a Martian and a Venusian. One had a 3rd eye in the middle of his forehead, and the other had a third arm. That was a great episode (unlike Under the Dome).

There's actually episodes similar on Twilight Zone. The one you are talking is a bus that stops in a diner.

There's one where in a neighborhood all the lights start flipping off and on and weird things like that and everyone thinks one house is aliens and goes off on them.

There might even be a 3rd one but I can't quite recall.

And yes much better than under the dome.

 

[UncleChris]

Rod Serling would be hurling all over the dome...

They really need to change the title of this to "Under the Dumb."

Last night we were introduced to a new character... the beautiful, authoritarian woman who has been spying on the Councilman and the contract killer unseen for the last 9 days, knows them both and is trying to blackmail them both. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.... Then, having to keep kids interested in the show, 1 of the youngsters manages to move the egg/minidome in his sleep and then three of them figure out that a unison laying of hands on the minidome produces some magic. The writers still can't figure out what to do with Junior. And did I mention that they had a very successful voluntary "turn in your guns for propane" drive? What... is the entire town a trailer park or did everyone just get a hankerin' to barbeque? And given their circumstances, I'm sure everyone would be willing to part with their firearms

I think they are bringing in zombies next week......

Gaahh!

Don't be silly, next week is when the Clown comes out of the sewer systems to find his possessed car so he can take his GF Carrie to the Prom. At the end, a dog names Cujo will die and then be resurected in the Pet Cemetery while all the Children gather in the corn fields to plot a take over. Sorry if I spoiled it for anyone.

 

[Stout]

You guys are killing me! I love to hate this show and just can't stop watching to laugh at it. I had a friend tell me the payoff to the story, and it made me laugh even more. Want to find out the 'ending'? Read my spoiler:

Spoiler

Apparently, some young alien or aliens are having a little fun and don't realize how serious it all is.

On no!!! A rip off from the Star Trek episode "Squire of Gothos?" Say it isn't so, Moe!!! Say it isn't so!!!

 

[UncleChris]

Oh boy!!!! Tonight the djay lady gets zapped by the egg, and I'm counting on more people dying! Perhaps the San Diego Chicken will hatch from the egg!

 

[UncleChris]

Missed most of this, due to a power outage. Outside of the radio lady getting bit by the egg and the woman ridiculously trying to blackmail the contract killer and the council man (still), any other silliness occur?

(rhetorical question, I know....)

Oh you missed a dewzie! SPOILER ALERT!

So the blackmail lady "Max" has hatched a huge plan by claiming the cement factory as her own personal mini Vegas. Chalk full of fight clubs, drinking and gambling. It's highly organized. She's got doormen, bouncers, traders, gaming tables, oddsmakers, booze and all kinds of other vices but lets make one thing clear folks, SHE DOES NOT DEAL IN PROSTITUTION!!! There is a line ok? Jeez. More about that later.

So she forces Barbie to fight and he loses on purpose to spite her in which case she is like "RAWR I will expose you, be my mate and we will rule this world!" And Barbie is like "nah! You cant have this world" and so Max is like; "Zen I WILL BURN IT TO ZEE GROUND!!!!" and Barbie is like "Whatever!" and he leaves.

So Barbie goes home and tells the hot ginger that he killed her husband (essentially taking Max's power away) he's like; "So yeah like, I totally like." And hot ginger is like; "Like I know cuz I like found the empty gun case. He pulled a gun on you right?" and Barbie is like; "Bro I'm so sorry it's like, I know its messed up but ya I'm stoked that you know now." and hot Ginger girl is like; "That's cool, but in the future no more lies ok?" and Barbie is like; "Totes future hot Ginger!!"

Meanwhile Big Jim is on a personal quest to destroy Max by finding out what her "insurance policy" is. So he digs through some property records and finds out she owns a cozy little mansion out on an island near town. So big Jim cruises out on his sick motorboat to the island and discovers that Max lives there with her Mom who invites him in and they have a cup of tea before she pulls a machine gun on him. (Max isn't there cuz she's too busy running mini Vegas) She proceeds to (for no good reason whatsoever) to tell Big Jim how she hates Chesters Mill because she got pregnant when she was young and the whole town shunned her so the only way she could survive was to be a gigantic ***** (oohh now we see why Max is sensitive about prostitutes! ohhh snap!) and so she hates the town and wants to BURN IT TO ZEE GROUND!!!!

I'd like to take a second break in our story kids and just remind everyone that the dome has been down 8 days. Half the town is dead and society has already degenerated into mini vegas fight clubs and murder sprees. Ok moving on!

So Big Jim riles up Max's mom and takes the gun from her, ties her up and puts her on his boat, takes her out on the water and she conveniently falls in the water, and Big Jim decides to leave her to drown. (presumably)

When Big Jim gets home the hot latina policia is waiting for him, (cuz shes done her homework and she's like, ON TO Big Jim and his drug dealing ways so she islike all; "Hey Jim you come to station." But Jim is all like, "nah I had a bad day." And hot policia is like; "Ok you come to station in morning or I cuff you ok?" And Big Jim is like all... "Grrrrrrr" and hot policia is like all; "Ok bye."

So the episode ends with the seizure triplets convincing Junior that he's the 4th so they all head out to the old creepy dome and play telephone with the mini dome which now has a cocoon in it (oops sorry a crystalis as our young nerd pointed out) and so all 4 teens touch their hands to the dome and Pink stars start a fallin in the barn, formin constellations and basically makin it rain in the creepy old barn! And it's like all,,, WHOA!!!!

The end.

This was actaully the best episode of the season and not because it was good. The only way to to top it would be to have them read Bert's version during the intro of the next episode.

Okay, I've got a question: Two episodes back there was a huge gun battle over access to fresh water - at least five people were killed until Barbie released the water in the well. Yet this week Big Jim travels in a boat across a big freakin' lake! I mean wassup wit dat????

I have to say that Under the Dome makes Revolution look like Masterpiece Theater.

Not to mention but where is the electricity coming from?

...And it's like all....WHOA!

Loved the Neo reference!

 

[Stout]

Oh, I feel about this show exactly what one of the cliched characters said in a cliched manner with cliched words: (Head in hands): It's too much, it's too much!

Had the hot redhead died, I'd stop watching, because the comedic cheese isn't worth it without, you know, a hot redhead. If she stays in a coma, I'll be out too

[Russ Smith]

I couldn't sleep last night so I watched with my gf. I admit to not being a doctor, exactly why was her chest filling with "air" and why did sucking it out solve something?

if he means lungs, wouldn't merely putting a hole there let the air out, why would he have to suck it out?

If he meant blood obviously there would be blood coming out which we didn't see.

I thought the key was the bullet passed through her and exited out the back of the shoulder so all they had to do was stop the bleeding but I didn't understand the rest of it.

What the kid should have done is reach into the small dome grab the egg and stick that in the shoulder wound.

I also didn't get how the cop could be that close to Barbie and Big Jim and not see who actually shot the 2 people in the head? I mean he literally had just shot them gets disarmed and she's calling out don't shoot, she almost had to be there in time to see who really fired the shots?
