Also Joe grew like a foot, which they handwaved away saying it was a year later but uh it was just like a few days.

The dome pods ~changes people for the better~, remember.

My God it has finally become Worse Than Dexter.

Pft. Dexter was terrible because it fell so far. Under The Dome has been a joke its entire run.

BIG JIM CAN'T TASTE A MOUTHFUL OF BLOOD

Maybe Ma Rennie has really bad gingivitis, so a little blood isn't out of the ordinary?

At least they realized they needed to add a snap-cut to some rusty plows, because an in-shape guy couldn't possibly survive a 15' drop off a silo, especially if there was a chance of him falling backward onto farm equipment.

I liked the "insert alien reflection here" graphics where instead of doing anything they just made not-Christine's reflection a blob of motion capture nodes.

I tuned in for about five minutes last night. Is Junior an alien now?

Nah, he's just part of some sort of piss-poor excuse for an alien hivemind that apparently previously suffered a planetary extinction event and decided they wanted to have another go at it.

Hate is an emotion, isn't it?

I mean pain/fear is, based on Hunter's example. Maybe the plan is to go around kneecapping people?

There are aliens?

I guess there always were? The source material is that there were always aliens, but of the dickhead-adolecent variety who had to be convinced to quit loving around.

In this season of the show, I guess they're finally showing up as a hive mind trying to save, at most, a couple hundred people. They apparently can pop up a massive, impenetrable force field, but can't put up a light show telling everyone that "hey there's a loving world-ending comet/asteroid coming...tell Secret President".

I like to believe that in this thread there are some people doing an internet hipster ironic thing of pretending to be too stupid to figure out what's happening, and who would be much happier watching Adam Sandler comedies.

Are you serious?

Apparently deer need significantly more oxygen than humans and just being adjacent to a place with less-than-perfect ventilation will kill them?

A 100 or so are dicking around with artificial realities and the kinship while the remaining 1900 are living the good life over at fight club.

This is a great image. I'm imagining people occasionally just out of frame going "what the gently caress are these idiots doing this time?!?". Like, "oh you're starting a fire after all the trouble that caused when it was an accident three weeks ago?".

Mainly there's that whole massive-seeming suburban NC area that used to show up before, which is probably full of people just chilling until they run out of toilet paper and have to make a run to the fight club.

Under the Dome is the only show I've ever seen where you really have no idea what's going to happen from one episode to the next. I'm genuinely sad to see it go.

The writers seem just as surprised week-to-week. Everyone's in on the suspense!

Not only was the writing as bizarre as ever, but people were doing a lot of weird annunciations of the lines. Joe's taking his sleepingBAHG out to the park and there's gonna be a government quaranTEEN.

I also really liked Sam's :shrug: to the kids when it turns out "welp! I guess we're not having you guys kill yourselves today!".

Edit: and I just watched some more and if that wasn't a take on the Metal Gear exclamation sound when Julia went in with the crowbar I don't know what it was.

I think we can all agree this is the most :wtc: show to ever air on national TV. And for that we thank the dome.

I mean most shows either lived under the tyranny of having to either reset every episode or generally sorta make sense. Even Lost strung you along pretending to make sense for half a dozen seasons.

Under the Dome both kept you on a string and may as well have reset expectations every episode.
