UTD would have been a good made-for-tv movie. Like CBS. In 1985.
And yet I can’t stop watching it.
The only way this could be better: Sharknado Under The Dome!
Does Dean Norris really need a paycheck this bad? He’s in danger of ruining all of his Breaking Bad cred by being in this pile of garbage.
When Angie was distracting Junior at the clinic and he started kissing her, he suddenly stopped and said, “You smell like cigarettes” and he knew something was wrong. 
Can someone explain how the cigarette smell tipped him off there?
Probably because Angie (and presumably the other mini-Domers) didn’t smoke, so he knew she’d been recently hanging out with someone who did–like Barbie.
When did Barbie start smoking? I don’t remember, and the cigarette thing was jammed in there so obviously.
In one of the early episodes he saw Angie and Barbie smoking together outside the clinic which set him off thinking they were sleeping together. Of course it’s a pretty big leap to think that the only time she ever smokes is when she’s with Barbie.
Stupid girl; she was kissing the wrong body party. :smack: If only she’d aimed a few feet lower; Barbie could’ve wheeled Julia right past them without Junior noticing. Also isn’t this like the 3rd or 4th time Big Jim has declared a state of emergency?
Why didn’t any of the nurses confirm that Barbie saved Julia?
That’s explained in an excellent UTD weekly column. 
I don’t watch the show, but did Angie really rescue Julia from the clinic, haul her off in an ambulance on a gurney, and then wheel the gurney back to the clinic?
Yes. She hid the ambulance behind a billboard, rolled Julia in the back door and took the service elevator to the storage area.
Since the 2nd season was announced midway through this one, I’ve been assuming that this plot wraps up, ie Big Jim killed, the Dome is lifted and then somehow, somewhere else, the Dome traps a whole new set of characters.
Because I don’t think they can drag this one on any longer, it’s just too painful.
From the previews it looks like next week the Dome will turn opaque and Chester’s Mill will be subject to eternal night like Lower Uncton.
I noticed that Big Jim’s henchmen wear blue armbands on their right arm. What could be the reason for this fashion statement/symbolism?
I just assumed it’s because they’re technically police deputies and there aren’t enough uniforms to go around.
Well, swastikas were right out.
That’s a good idea. I would support this.
Let’s say that a dome appears on a random spot on earth, then disappears three weeks later, and then randomly appears at some other spot on earth.
How much of an impact do you think this would have on people’s willingness to drive even if the odds of driving into a sudden invisible wall are still essentially near zero?
This is so true! I can’t help but compare the two, since they’re both airing so closely, and it does take away from Norris’ performance. For instance, I’m always noticing how short he is compared to everyone else, thanks to Big Jim’s exposition speech.
Well fuck you CBS.
