Under The Dome: The Outside World And Back

Under The Dome: The Outside World And Back

Posted by Dustin on 08.30.2014 at 9:23 pm

So I’m trying to use Labor Day weekend to finally get caught up on some blog posts on my Summer shows, all which are winding down. I thought no TV would be on, but I was wrong! Shows are airing Sunday and Monday.

BvQqVM_IAAATSW3 First up is “Under The Dome.” Man a lot has been going on with this show! Before we get into it all, a week or so back I met Colin Ford, who plays Joe, at the local horror con. He wouldn’t tell me if anyone else major died. He did say a lot of crazy shiznet would happen as the end of the season approached, and several new characters would be introduced. I think he was speaking of Dale’s dad and the computer hacker. Who knows though, maybe more will show up? I did bring up the fact that the dome brought back Melanie, so his sister Angie could come back too. He said something like “Exactly, you never know!” Angie comes back this week, but only as a ghost it seems. I have a theory though… more on that in a bit.

So since I last blogged Dale, Sam and Lyle all made it to the outside world. At first I honestly thought it was another dimension, not really the outside world. However since Barbie/Dale and Julia saw one another, I guess not. In the outside world they all connected with Pauline. We learned that Dale’s father owns an energy company and is after the egg, and he wants it before the US government learns about it. He’s the one employing the guards patrolling the dome, it’s not the army. For real? A giant dome comes down and the government isn’t involved? Please, they’d be all over that!

So in the real world, Lyle and Sam both seemed to become fairly sane. Lyle stopped being a biblical preacher, and Sam even acknowledged that he killed Angie. It seems the dome really did make them both nuts, just like Big Jim. I’m still not ready to forgive Sam for killing Angie though. Pauline’s drawings led them to a red door that would take them back to the dome through the lake where the Egg was dropped. On the way though they all had visions. Dale’s was important, he had met Melanie as a kid. She was his babysitter for awhile! She said her mother (maybe it was his father?) wanted her to meet him. Hmmm, I suspect they are half-siblings, having their douche bag of a father in common.

The latest episode had them all return to the dome. Inside Junior has been telling his father way too much. What does it take for Junior to realize his dad is no good? Big Jim knows the outsiders want the egg, and is willing to deliver it if he and Junior can leave. Rebecca has turned to Julia’s side, and Big Jim got the surprise of his life when Pauline returned. Oh yeah, it’s about to go down!

So I have a theory that there must always be four hands as Pauline predicted. When Angie died, the dome brought back Melanie as she was the first to really want to protect the egg and understand its importance. I suspect if Melanie dies again, or any one of the hands, that Angie could be brought back!

Spoilers for the next two shows below!
