Free June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 It's like four different crappy shows all shoved together to make one giant ball of even crappier suckitude. That would explain it, usually it's a different contrived disaster of the week, whereas this premiere felt like they crammed several of those ideas all at once. 1 Link to comment
Snookums June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 Okay, I just skimmed this and cannot be more grateful that I let go of this ball of WHAT THE FUCK after the first season. Oh, my God. 3 Link to comment
Uncle Benzene June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 My favorite moment this week was when Barbie took a limp, almost-certainly-dead Julia into his arms and insta-mourned thusly: "I'm here. I came back for you. Just like I promised." (Also, hey, sorry you're dead and all. But I sure hope you died knowing I was in the process of attempting to rescue you, and contemplating all the other ways in which I'm pretty great. Because it would be quite the burden for me to think that you didn't. In fact, this whole thing sucks pretty badly for me as it is. But at least I can MOVE ON knowing that I was true to my word. So I've got that going for me. But hey, how you been? Did ya miss me? What am I talking about, of course you did.) 5 Link to comment

Desperately Random June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 Great job Tara. I can't help but wonder where we go from here. You start out with time altering-matrix cocoons and then segue into.......I don't know what. I have no idea where this show is going this season but I'm pretty sure that it will be lame and that Big Jim will continue to be a dick, Julia will still be dumb and gullible and Barbie will continue to bring the pretty. 1 Link to comment

" Your parents don't need you." Marg Helgenberger you are to grief counselors what Junior's mother was to painters. Right? I'm pretty sure Angie was locked in Junior's basement for a few days, and nearly raped at one point and Joe was off following his new super hero Barbie around, and trying to convince Nori he was in her league. (As much as I disliked her, this past episode made it evident that she could do better.) It was like 1-2 weeks dome time before he saw her. Did he have any reason to think she wasn't inside the dome? 1 Link to comment
Dizzychickstar June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 I spent most of the time on my phone reading fan fiction during the interminably long time these episodes aired. Just...why not try to answer questions from last season, show, instead of introducing more...complications? For the record, I too, was distracted by Marg's upper lip and there was a weird tension between her and Joe in his bedroom. I thought they were discussing running off together at one point...bleh. 4 Link to comment
Texasmom1970 June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 During the intro when it states the done came down three weeks ago. I groaned and said damn, really, cause it feels like this shitty show has been dragging on for decades! This episode seemed like they were forcing the plot lines just so we can have a future love trIangle between Julia, Barbie and the new chick. I did not even bother to listen to her name. I need to stop watching this I can feel my self getting dumber with each episode. 1 Link to comment

thuganomics85 June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 Late for this, since CBS foolishly put this on Thursday from now on, and there is no way I can justify watching this live over Hannibal. And do to my work schedule, I can only get around till now. Seems like I'm going to have to keep doing this. At least in this case, I was able to prepare myself for two hours of this junk. Have to get in the right mind set and everything! Welcome back, Under the Dome! The dumbest show to end all dumb shows. Part of me wants to hate you, but another part kind of respects that you can be so incompetent at everything, but keep chugging along. So many shows; even great ones; die even before the first season. But not you! You beat the odds! I salute you, the butterflies, and those stupid pink stars. Anyway, to the plot! So, basically, Melanie's plan was just trapping all the townsfolk into some bizarre, slimy status pods, and make them feel like they escaped the Dome. What I couldn't get was what was the she trying to do with all of them? At first, I thought she was trying to create their perfect fantasies or something, but that wasn't the case. Sure, Barbie found a new girlfriend, but seemed to still be all about Julia. Norrie seem to be enjoying her "sorority" world, but Joe was clearly struggling to adopt to post-Dome life. So, how did she decide who gets a good life, and who doesn't? Meanwhile, Marg Helgenberger pops in as the world's lamest therapist, who is connected to almost everyone, and seems to be working for the Dome/Melanie on some level. What is her deal? Also, I was going to say why is Marg reduced to this, but then I remember that one of the last things she did was Intelligence, so, really: this isn't beneath her. But now she and Eva just popped out of those pods, so I wonder what shit those two are going to bring. The Sam stuff continues to be hilarious. They really play it like what he did to Angie was an accident: like a drunk driving accident or something. Or, you know, that axe of his just kept slipping out of his hand and into Angie, over and over again. His bad! Mistakes happen! During the memorial stuff, I just kept noticing that only Angie or Julia were ever mentioned. Apparently, no one really gave a shit about Linda. I mean, sure, she was dumber then a box of hammers, but couldn't one person be like "She had her moments!" about her. I guess you get no respect when you die by being the meat in a truck/Dome sandwich. No mention of Phil either, but I can understand that one. It's hard to make "I remember when he use to be our DJ, and then he went crazy!" come off well. RIP, Stoner Ben and Brett Cullen. Sure, Ben might have been a one-dimensional character, but he was still better then most of this lot, and it was fitting he'd be the first to figure out shit was off. And I couldn't even tell you Barbie's dad name with a gun to my head, but, hey: Brett Cullen is great and did what he could. The highlights (or the closet thing to it), were easily all the stuff involving Julia and Big Jim. Just priceless stuff right there. Julia is just the worst, and Rachelle Lefevre looks like she doesn't know what the hell is going on half of the time. And then there is Dean Norris. He's just given up at even trying to do anything with this. He knows the material is bad, but hey: those CBS paychecks sure are good, so have fun! The scene where he just starts shooting family pictures may have been one of the funniest things this year. Summer is officially here! I can't wait! I have total faith that this show can be even stupider this season, and I'm looking forward to every minute of it! 6 Link to comment
no10pin June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 In all seriousness, I don't look forward to any show the way I look forward to this one. It's like that game where a bunch of kids each write one sentence of a story and then pass it to the next kid to continue it. Assuming the kids were hammered. I keep forgetting that the entire timeline of the show is still less than a month, because they've packed about 10 years of the stupidest plot twists and turns imaginable. The entire story line is pure insanity, the dialogue is god awful, no one does anything that makes a goddamn bit of sense, and it's all just awesome. Reading the reviews and comments on here just make it that much better. 11 Link to comment

Like how/why Drownsie led them all into this white room and that somehow transformed them into individual pods that apparently appeared out of nowhere. And how long had Christine and Eva been down in the tunnels in the pods -- predating the Dome ? months ? years ? Because if it has been more than 3 weeks something doesn't add up. And if Drownsie isn't Drownsie, who is she ? Alien from space that came down with the egg in the meteorites. And what is it that needs fixing in all these people from Chester's Mill (from Drownsie's POV) ? Why was Drownsie all wet when the tunnel wall came down, but she somehow had dried off (including her clothes) and had bouncing and behaving hair, no less, by the time she choked Ben to death and Julia/Junior found her ? I'm still curious how "Daddy Hurry" translated in Don Barbara's mind to "bring the egg back inside the Dome". If the meteor storm occurred 25 years ago that actually makes sense -- in that this show started in 2013 (And only three weeks have gone by in showtime) and Pauline/Lyle/Sam/Drownsie found the egg in 1988. Surprisingly, the date math adds up. Edited June 27, 2015 by ottoDbusdriver 2 Link to comment

Who is he trying to keep out ? There's no traffic. That just seemed so random -- or was he just killing time ? Neither Julia, Big Jim or Junior even noticed that the Dome was no longer lowering ? You would have thought Julia would noticed something was up when Drownsie drew on the wall of the Dome and it didn't go down How come getting shot in the shoulder is now a shrug it off wound ? Both Big Jim and Junior act like they aren't even wounded. It's not like days have gone by -- it's the same day as last season's finale, they should both be bleeding out at a minimum since both wounds have gone untreated. And their right shoulder/arm should be in a large amount of pain and probably unusable. Eric La Salle's character had a photo of Christine Price showing her inside the Dome -- when was she inside the Dome ? Which means they do have good surveillance -- and probably know that Drownsie killed Don Barbara and took the egg. When Junior came out of the cocoon, his shirt still had the hole from the gunshot but the blood stain was gone. Does this mean that they were submerged in OxyClean inside the cocoons ?

Dobian June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 (edited) So Big Jim is the one who gets it right this time, and even gets through to Julia Dumbway. At least now we know the dome is evil, no more mystical dome and "let's do what the dome wants". Hopefully this is the last episode with Julia's bandage-over-jeans chic look. Marg Helgenberger was annoying as the dome spy or whatever she is, insinuating herself everywhere in that fake reality. So now Barbie's fake pregnant girlfriend is under the dome with them? How are they going to explain Joe still being tall since he spent an imaginary year in the cocoon but was only in there a day in real time? They needn't have bothered except they called that out when he was in there. I guess now they're building a love triangle with Norrie and Barbie's pal. I hope Drownsey's gone for good, she annoyed the shit out of me. Well most of the cast does, but she's something special. More under the dumbness awaits!

needschocolate June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 I couldn't watch until last night and it was so frustrating, because I was anxiously looking forward to reading the snark on the forum. Your comments are worth waiting for. I love how no one seems to be posting "real questions" about what happened, the way people used to analyze Lost. We all know it is ridiculous, why bother trying to understand it? Especially since whatever doesn't make sense will never matter again. As I watched the show, I kept thinking of all the Lost In Space reruns I watched as a kid - such cheesy sets. Then when we got to the end, it was flashbacks of Bobby coming out of the shower on Dallas. I think this episode provides answers, if the answer is "that didn't really happen, so-and-so was just dreaming it when in the cocoon." WTF at Big Jim going from shooting his son, to shooting pictures and video of his son (by the way, he was a colossal douche in that home movie) to flipping out on Drownsie "I'll be damned if I let you kill my son" bitch please, you and your son have been trying to kill each other forever. I think his full speech was supposed to be "Ill be damned if I let you kill my son. I am the only one who gets to kill my son." During the memorial stuff, I just kept noticing that only Angie or Julia were ever mentioned. Apparently, no one really gave a shit about Linda. I mean, sure, she was dumber then a box of hammers, but couldn't one person be like "She had her moments!" about her.

Re: Skater Boy's death - he only died in somebody's (Barbie's?) dreamworld. Re: Memorial --- no mention of the original sheriff or the radio station lady or the restaurant owner lady or the hoarder's wife or .... Then again, the memorial was only in the dreamworld too, right? And everyone was cocooned except Big Jim and the dog? So the the only thing that really happened this episode is that Big Jim shot his TV and Drownsie is evil - or is she? I am pretty sure Julia will say that the cocoons were to protect them. But Drownsie kept prattling on about "fixing" them. What's broken that needs to be fixed ? Apparently, Nori needed to understand that she really is a sorority girl and she should give up the angsty teen act, Barbie needed to know that there is someone better for him out there - someone who calls him by his first name rather than that of a fashion doll, Junior needed to learn that he should be a world-traveling hero instead of an an insecure guy who locks up women in his storm cellar.... 3 Link to comment

ottoDbusdriver June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 I think the whole Drownsie VR was just an excuse to get viewers used to the older versions of the teens so that when they pop out of the pods that is just their new normal look. I guarantee that neither Joe nor Nori will finally look in a mirror and go "Hey, I'm taller -- the Dome must have changed me !" 1 Link to comment
pcta June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 Just got through watching ep 1 and 2. I am surprised by the comments here. I enjoyed it a lot. No it doesn't answer questions, really. Except the one about whether or not the Dome is benign. It sounded like the "butterfly entities" needed the folks of Chester's Mill for some purpose of their own. But needed them to be "happy"/unquestioning??? I'm much more into the mythology than I was after epi one season 2. Link to comment
