Under The Dome (CBS)

[UncleChris]

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?

Your medical instincts are good.... the whole sucking air out of the needle stuck in the chest scenario was total B.S. In a gunshot wound like this, it would be unlikely that the chest would have to be needled. The patient wold likely have a hemo-pneumothorax (blood and air in he pleural space). If air/blood were filling the pleural space, creating significant breathing problems, the correct emergency procedure is to put a flap over the wound, so that pressure can get out, but air does not go back in through the hole. What this patient needed was a surgical team, because the internal bleeding is not going to be stopped by pressure to the wound. Likewise, the hemo-pneumotorax iisn't magically going to get better without some really advanced care. (BTW, when you actually needle a chest, the air gushes out on it's own.)

'cause the lady cop is an idiot.

Likewise, what a crappy assassin Max was. Shoots the woman once in the upper right chest, then leaves. And then, catching Barbie and Big Jim in the concrete plant, doesn't kill either of them but marches them off to talk to them instead. Really? And how fortuitous that Max's mother washes up right to her feet. And at some point, maybe they'll figure out whether Junior is a malevolent psychopath or just an emotionally confused, love-struck fella.

p.s. Thanks to all the Einstein teenage wizards who are figuring this all out........

When she didn't shoot them I felt like it was the old Batman tv show where the villain always tortures Batman and Robin and lets them escape instead of just killing them.

 

[UncleChris]

Only Batman never took itself seriously.....

The optometrist was out of town when the done came down?

Don't forget that this is the same rocket scientist cop who allowed Junior to remain a cop even after she saw him murder a guy.

So when they say 2 episodes left do they mean this summer or ever?

I thought it was 2 more until it's over but I thought someone here said it was picked up for next year already so maybe not?

 

[Stout]

Man, I tuned in last night to see my favorite comedy, and it wasn't on!

 

[UncleChris]

We ought to run a poll to see who the show's biggest moron is.... I might have to go with the lady cop.

Lost another citizen last night. What's the population there now, like 12?

This is so bad it's starting to not be fun anymore.

I'm not sure if it got picked up or not, but it's done very solid numbers, especially for summer. it'll be back, no matter how stupid it apparently is!

edit: it was picked up for Season 2 six weeks ago.

I've yet to talk to anyone who likes this show for the right reasons. Maybe the Campy Lovers are carrying the day.....

I agree, this was the worst episode. Asian girl not sneaking down the stairs as she heard what she heard. Junior tasting cigerrettes. Barbie (don't what is really is, he is Barbie) all of a sudden being a stone colded killer all of a sudden after being the hero right after Big Jim was to be arrested for helping supply a drug lord, who happened to get shot by the stone cold killer.

I get it, they are running out oxygen and thier brain cells are being killed off slowly.

 

[UncleChris]

OMFG!!! Just when you think it couldn't possibly get any worse..... IT DOES! Terrible, terrible on every level, right down to the thriller-diller ending.


I'm sure glad they could build a fully functioning gallows from scratch in just a few hours!!!

I still say the lady cop gets the buffoon of the year award.

I woke up and watched the last 20 minutes. When it ended my GF said "that's it? IS there another one next week to explain that, hiatus, what?"

I tried to warn her it probably wasn't going to be much of an ending.

Great how the girl figured out that take care of the egg meant drop it in the lake.

 

[UncleChris]

GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Under The Dumb is returning on June 30th.

 

[Stout]

It is back in all it's grossly stupid glory! They didn't kill off the hot redhead, so I will continue watching for the sheer comedic value. Mystery Science Theater TV style

 

[BigRedRage]

i fianlly opened this thread thinking it must be good to have this many comments - nope. I will continue to not watch it. thx guys.

I'm going to have to drop Comcast now, my girlfriend has discovered that this show is on On Demand now. So instead of it being on at 10pm and I fall asleep and don't have to see it, she watches it the next night while I'm awake.
