My favorite line of the episode was Carrie's sister telling Quinn that she had never seen Carrie this upset after an operation before. What? Guess she missed the episode where her sister was strapped to a table at the funny farm receiving shock treatment. A bunch of her friends died and she returned to her Dad's funeral and this was the calmest I've ever seen her by far. Til Mommie showed up anyway.

That was the most boring last of the season episode of any show I've ever seen.

Shermie, I meant throughout the entire run of the show not just the day of the riot. There was not one single instance of anyone on the show showing any anger about the break-ins. The town simply didn't care, not on screen anyway. Hell I would think the riots would happen earlier but at the police station because even though the whole town knows who did these things the cops did nothing. Again maybe the GR did do jail time but it just wasn't shown, nothing was. Also who don't you agree with? I never said we need to see every minute detail? One or two would be nice.

Maybe they did Weary Traveler. Maybe they did. Of course none of it was shown but maybe members of the GR were in fact investigated and there just wasn't enough evidence to prosecute for the break-ins even though they left fingerprints everywhere. Maybe they wiped them down. Maybe they were routinely ticketed for painting things white but it just wasn't shown in-show. Maybe I guess you and I are both doing a lot of assuming based on our individual points of view but that's where the terrible writing of the show has left us. Assuming.

This to me is the reason this show sucks. The writers are trying to make the GR seem so smart but actually they are just making everyone else seem so dumb. The cops do absolutely nothing as these people deface property in broad daylight, stalk people and break into their houses. I'm confused as to why there wasn't any scenes at all of the townspeople getting angry and talking to the cops about this stuff. Instead they don't seem to care or even exist until this final episode where housewives are shooting people. Right. How did the GR know exactly where everyone was when they disappeared right down to their body positioning?

This episode could have been great but instead it was all build up and no payoff. The moment of the disappearance was just lame. I wanted to see that baby vanish from the screen. I wanted to see something cool with Kevin maybe POV style, laying back grabbing her boobs and poof, she's gone. I wanted to see cool shit happen. This episode should have been a directors wet dream but every character's moment was just a 2 second O-face and cut to the next one. Couldn't they at least linger with the characters for a few moments after it happened? If the moments were somehow shocking and surprising in any way then that could have been a powerful way to end the show but they were just so uninspired. If your going to make us wait that long (both in the season and in the episode) for those moments then don't telegraph them so badly and have some cool shit up your sleeve!

This show is so bad now. I almost want to watch the first season again just to see what the hell I was thinking. I don't think I will. I bet The Vampire Diaries is better. I bet General Hospital is better. They can't be any worse.

Breaking her own record?

If male vampires have detachable penises what happens to the female genitalia?

Loving this show, it's such a fascinating subject and judging by the comments here one that I'm glad I don't know everything about. I'm just going to continue watching, believing it happened exactly like this. I've just got to remember not to regurgitate it at a party like that time I embarrassed myself spouting off my vast knowledge of William Wallace based on watching Braveheart.

No, nobody can, it just is. I think rule #1 of writing should be that if your plot doesn't work without one or more characters being idiots then keep working on it, you aren't finished. When watching a show like this I always tend to think "c'mon nobody is that dumb!" but it's not true, people are even dumber. I remember watching the trailer for Hangover 3 when Alan takes a giraffe under an overpass killing it and rolling my eyes thinking "that's just silly, they are going too cartoony with his already cartoony character" but recently it actually happened. It actually happened! So I know that people in real life are stupid and that allows master plans to work but they get made fun of for it, fired for it, sued for it or even do jail time for it if it's really egregious. For the most part in TV/movies nobody even mentions how retarded they are and they are even hailed as the hero. The writers just expect us to overlook the characters dumb decisions and continue believing them to be geniuses. I wish I was one of the people who could do that, I'd enjoy shows like this more if I did.

As clunky and absurd as it was, I think they had Nora freak out and break off from the group because while the guys are out slaughtering vamps she will be the one that finds a cure. It kind of got lost in her insane speech about these things being human but she did say that "we should be trying to find a cure". The writers could have easily found a better way of getting to that point like "we can't possibly kill them all fast enough so we need a cure" but then we wouldn't get the drama. The fat Hobbit has important info dipshit so you might want to keep him around and just give a punch to the face every now and then.

Didn't hate this episode. Nora actually acts like a human being for the most part unlike everyone back in Crazytown, NY. Didn't totally buy that she would follow Lurch back to that dingy apartment based only on his lame "do you want to feel this way" sales pitch though. Interested to know if it's true that all you need is a hug from crazy-eyed child rapist but only so I can make fun of it however it turns out. If it is true then how did a creep like him get this magical power? And if it's not then anyone who fell for the old $1,000 for a magic hug trick better check their tailpipe for bananas. They should have put this episode before the last one to hide the fact that they completely dropped the break-ins plot line making the Chief look like an ineffectual dipshit. Sucks that, as someone mentioned, the episodes without him are so much better.

Officially took this show off the DVR. Not sure why it took so long as I pretty much hated it as soon as they showed people sitting down for a nice cup o' joe and a slice of pie instead of being at all interested in the crazy dome thing. That was the first episode I think. These writers, who are terrible, were given a tool that they have been abusing and it makes every single moment of the show utterly pointless. The dome warps your mind. So anything anyone does is meaningless because they will be a totally different person in the next episode. I still can't get over the fact that Junior is a good guy now when he was soooo over the top bad in the first few episodes. TV used to be pretty strictly an episode to episode format with each being pretty much self contained meaning you could watch them in any random order. Now it has become a format for telling one long story that you really need to watch from the beginning. While that has given us great shows like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad it has also ruined so many shows that started out great(not this one). Weather it's shows like Rome and Deadwood that have no ending because they are abruptly cancelled or shows like LOST that have a beginning, a looong meandering middle and an unsatisfying end that can't possibly tie up all the loose ends, it's just so frustrating to get invested in them. And most likely maddening for the writers/showrunners. Anyway, my point is that this was supposed to be a mini-series lasting like thirteen episodes(It was fully written) but it became a hit and just like LOST the writers have no idea how to stretch it out. The first season of LOST was crazy good but IMO sucked after that because they shit on everything in that first season. UTD didn't start off any where as good as that show but it had an interesting premise. It aggravated me that nobody really panicked until like episode 4, that nobody seemed all that interested in getting together and talking about how to survive this but instead sat around the diner gossiping but the premise was enough to keep me interested. Around mid season you could just feel the way the story that they already wrote in it's entirety was being stuffed with filler and now it's just a soap opera that can go on and on forever. It sucks because if a show gets too popular TPTB have to ruin the story to milk those ratings and if it's not popular enough it gets cancelled with no real closure. Some writers like Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) and Matthew Wiener (Mad Men) are up to the task but most are not. The Under The Dome people are definitely not. I can't even hate watch this anymore.

My bad I thought Richmond was talking about Peter Sarsgaard's character in that scene, I forgot all about who Joe Mills was. Guess I should have watched a recap before season 4.

I know who the guy is just couldn't remember his name but thanks. The wife and daughter wouldn't have anything to do with proving his guilt or innocence, the police would do that. The fact that Holder, Linden the guy who investigated them and all the other cops who pulled the bodies from the water had all the proof in the world is what I was talking about. As well as the mother of that girl who was killed while Sarsgaard's character was on death row. The truth would not be overrated to her. Nor would it be to that guys kid who will live his entire life thinking he came from a monster. The press wouldn't have to dig any deeper than to find the date that girl disappeared.

Guy in wheelchair: what proof do you have? Seriously? How about all those bodies being found at Skinner's house next to his which he somehow put in the lake after he shot himself? How about the fact that at least one of the bodies was put there after that guy was already on death row? How about all of the jewelry his wife and daughter are wearing? Why are TV cops always so retarded? That was the dumbest ending ever.

That was my first thought as well (along with the security system being all messed up) but I think a few months passed between episodes. I'm not even sure why I think that now but I think they are well past new years when the stoning takes place. I doubt he wouldn't notice the shirts/security system for that long. Am I wrong? Does this episode take place just after X-mas? Or maybe they broke in again at a later date?

Not to harp on the dogs since there are many other things to make fun of on this show but again only 2% of the pop. are up in heaven now. (Or being anally probed on an alien ship) So while that would leave everyone in total shock and change much of society the basic things would still get back to functioning normally and on the show they are. The US government is still working(so much as it does now), the local governments are still there, the police departments are still set up the same(though the stalking and B&E laws seem to have gone away), the garbage men are still picking up garbage and the dry cleaners are still stealing peoples shirts. Where then, is animal control? Where in this country are there packs of dogs running around? Sure that shit happens in Mexico (my car was surrounded by a pack once at a stop sign in Tijuana) but here in the states we have procedures in place to keep that from happening. Anyway... Agreed they are all dicks. I really want to like Justin Theroux's character because he is one of the most talented people on earth and I can't understand why he isn't one of the biggest movie stars out there. He was amazing as Patrick Bateman's coked up friend in American Psycho and the best part of the stupid but funny Wanderlust but still he hasn't gotten any major roles. The man wrote Tropic Thunder for god's sake so it's criminal that all people know him for is dating Jennifer Aniston. I was hoping that this show would put him in the running for bigger things and I guess it still could if people don't hold the writing against him. I hate that the writers have made him such an idiot albeit a semi sympathetic one. I too will watch through the end of the season mostly because it's summer and my DVR is just about empty this time of year but I have no faith it will get better because Lindelof is the show runner. A book could be written about how stupid Prometheus was. I still think the first season of LOST is up there with my favorite TV of all time but when JJ went on to do movies and this putz was left in charge it fell apart with a vengeance. I can cut him a little slack because it must be impossible to write a story when you have no idea how many seasons it needs to stretch but just like this show there are too many things that he makes me care about that never get brought up again. The truck that the real/not real/real dog killer left in Theroux's driveway, where is it now? Why wasn't it registered? You'd think a cop would care. The break-ins were barely mentioned and probably won't be again but thank god he solved the bagel mystery. I'm not sure why I care but I need to know if those are actually his shirts or not (if so why were those guys jerking him around/ if not were they stolen two months ago during the break-ins?) and I'd be absolutely shocked if they are mentioned again. After all there's probably an all new mystery of the missing toothbrush coming tonight.

Doesn't really make sense anyway, I've made a ball disappear right in front of my dogs many times and they didn't go feral.

Was that explanation in the show or from the book? I don't remember anyone saying that.

Here's another. Why are there so many wild dogs running around? I could understand this if 80% of the town disappeared but with only 2% gone and not one entire family there shouldn't be any orphaned dogs. Unless one of the disappeared was a loner who owned a Kennel that the town forgot all about and those dogs somehow escaped. Never mind that must be it.

But taking care of it themselves wouldn't jump from nothing(on screen or even mentioned) to stoning someone to death. Wouldn't they yell at them first. Vandalize their house second. Maybe throw a punch next. Then maybe put one in the hospital. Get a mob together and rush the church with bats and break some arms? There has been no escalation at all.

I don't believe for one second that the townspeople got together and decided to stone someone to death. That is a pretty barbaric thing for normal people to do even if they are being stalked and their houses being broken into. You'd think that there would be some kind of outcry though and maybe there is but it hasn't been shown at all. The writers are making the police Chief look like a moron. He knows who did it, they left fingerprints all over those houses and nobody got arrested. Surely he would have people all over town beating down his door demanding some kind of justice. Maybe they stole his shirts.

After watching this week's episode I went back and re-watched the end of last weeks. I did this because I could not believe there was only one quick mention of the master plan by the GR. How can this be? Those pictures that were stolen may well be all these people have left of their loved ones plus, you know, it's breaking and entering. Are they above the law? They are allowed to stalk people after all. Or did this episode take place after they did their jail time? After the town marched down to their new church with pitchforks? After the police decided that it was such a well executed plan that there was nothing they could do? If you have last weeks ep. DVR'd or you have OnDemand and you want a good laugh re-watch the last few minutes where these master thieves leave fingerprints all over the houses and every frame they empty. What is the first thing you would put on when committing a crime? Gloves right? These morons did have gloves on, however all the fingers are cut off presumably so they can smoke in them. How did this plan work? This show is utterly ridiculous. Worse than even John From Cincy.
