Looks like they have to go back and rip off some more Lost and fail at it miserably.

Most likely a revolution/uprising since it already seemed to be happening by the end of the episode.

She's just there to yell science every single time there's a ridiculous bs solution to the contrived disaster of the week, that and to flip back and forth like everyone else. I hate this contrived Barbie/Julia bs that they cranked up this season. He barely gaf about going through a portal and ending up in his home town. They already are, it's just so poorly written, the rip offs can easily be forgotten about. So the main 'hero' protagonist has to go back to the others except when the other show did it, it was a major game changing plot twist that actually did have an effect on the other series and when UTD does it, it's just more bs for the episode. Yeah, Melanie is obviously a replacement regardless of the writers trying to say otherwise. It is a little creepy for Jr to possibly being set up with someone that could've been with his uncle if they ever go there.

That sounds more like the writers though.

It just makes a a complete waste of the kidnapping premise and then they waste time on pointless nonsense with scenes of her friends that don't add anything important or interesting to the series or to her character. Mainly it's because he actually feels like a real character a not an annoying checklist of cliches and stereotypes like some of the other characters.

They just pop out of nowhere and no one in town blinks an eye. 1 of the worst thing about this series is how characters act like they know how the dome works and keeps saying bs like the dome protecting us nonsense and none of it makes any sense since it constantly contradicts itself. Why are we supposed to be 'afraid' of Big Jim where they need Barbie to hide behind especially since Julia was supposed to be a chosen leader yet has done nothing good for the brain dead town? Everyone is too brain dead to use any common sense whatsoever. Rebecca was the one cheerleading Jim and tried to encourage him to kills off some people in town and now she's suddenly a scaredy cat who's a Julia supporter all of the sudden? Pretty much and you probably won't miss anything if you decide to keep skipping episodes.
