Under the Dome

[Jimbo]

It was his brother. I said the brother of Big Jim.

cool.

 

[mike123abc]

I wonder if the girl in the lake is a real person or a creation of the dome.

 

[KAB]

In law ?
I thought he was his brother ?
I don't remember if they ever said, I just remember him being introduced as Jrs Uncle

Yep. In his cabin he told Julia he could not get over his sister taking her own life nine years ago... Jr's mother.

I at first thought the girl from the lake was his sister, that is until we found out he was jr's uncle.

Remember, she showed up behind the vehicle that smashed into the dome and killed Linda at the end of the show ... maybe she is connected to the dome in some way.

She came out of the lake after the egg went in, pretty much in the same spot. Which makes me think she is a manifestation of the dome. She is carrying out the dome's wishes...

As I recall she apologized to Linda so yes she is connected to the dome.

Could be. The dome has done stranger things so far , so creating a psychotic, wielding ax murderer wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Spot on! Like when she was sitting next to Linda's body, and said "sorry" and closed her eyes.

EDIT: Oops, klang beat me to it.

 

[Scherrman]

I don't think Jr's Mom is alive, I think it was just a flashback of sorts .... we've had other people show up and talk to them as well.

It sure seemed to me that she was alive being she was watching news coverage of the dome on her TV. Just another strange twist to the plot.

 

[mike123abc]

I wonder if there is a tie in with the strange obelisk that was where the mother was. It stuck out too much to me to be a background thing.

Here is a good/funny recap of the episode. It is a great read: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/under-the-dome.298680/page-13

Some of my favorite quotes:

if you accuse someone of being a murderer and they do something nice to you like disarm you and then hand back your gun to you and say "I am not a murderer" then you have to believe them.

She believed that the magnetic fields the Dome produced were messing with people's brain waves, though there was no rhyme or reason behind how or when people would pass out from being over-magnetized. This show must be traumatizing for scientists to watch. I heard four scientists committed suicide watching this episode.

Steven King wrote this episode, probably at gunpoint, so I had great flashbacks to Maximum Overdrive as appliances turned on their human masters. And then I remembered that Maximum Overdrive was kind of dumb. This was also kind of dumb, so at least there's some consistency. Do I need to tell you that Barbie saved the kids from the stove? Barbie saved the kids from the stove.

I think the mother is alive and Big Jim had her leave town when Jr. was little. Big Jim is a devious A-hole who always gets what he wants , one way or another. He has proved this by killing people who get in his way. The fat radio chick and the crazy preacher and the Drug b*tch who come to mind, not to mention he tried to have Barbie hung in the finale /season opener.

Somehow my link was messed up and pointed back to here. http://www.tv.com/shows/under-the-d...pisode-1-heads-will-roll-review-140417418537/ is the blog post I was trying to quote yesterday. He is pretty entertaining.


Anyways about last night's episode. So, did Junior do it? Are all the butterflies now dead? Not much really seemed to happen otherwise.

Another funny recap up at tv.com.

A couple observations that I liked:

What the heck is going on at this diner? It's still operating like there isn't a dome overhead or that supplies are still coming in. The place had better be selling Denver omelets for a thousand bucks a pop. This place is ALWAYS full and only one person works there. And when Angie died, Big Jim dropped everything and filled in. Say what you will about his murderous tendencies, propane stealing, and drug manufacturing, but Big Jim gets sh*t done.

In jail/Junior's apartment, Big Jim told Junior to open up the school because Rebecca the Science Teacher was going to start classes again, teaching "things that matter, things that will help the town get back on its feet." Like Domes 101, Dome Math, Caterpillar Genocide, How to Put Out a Fire with a Tractor, and Latin.

I almost forgot that Big Jim made DJ Phil (to be known as DJ Officer Phil from now on) a police officer after Officer Linda got squished by an SUV. Do you realize what this means? It means that all the cops in Chester's Mill now weren't cops when Under the Dome debuted. One was a mentally ill maniac and the other was playing psychedelic afro-jazz on the radio. Now they're cops. Let that sink in for a bit. And the two original cops who weren't Linda were shot by other cops. I don't mean to criticize Chester's Mill's men in blue but there are probably better police forces out there.

I wonder how long until Joe becomes a cop?

Interesting take ... your right, the Police force is now dead and others have been given the right to be Police force with NO previous training or ANYTHING that resembles knowledge of Police work.

They are appointing Police by people they like and can control, what a Police dept ....

Sounds just like about any of the small town police departments in Southeast Texas where I live.

And yet they seem to have police uniforms available that fit perfectly...

But of course. This is still tv after all and you have to look good because the camera adds 10 lbs to you. Just imagine how fat you would look in ill fitting uniforms on top of that.

I'm sure Someone under the dome is a Tailor.
