Five Seasons is only like 10 weeks in Chester's Mill.

And in that time I expect:

- Barbie and Big Jim will switch between being allies and enemies about 57 times.

- We'll meet 246 new characters who have been in the dome the whole time, are very important, yet someone were never involved in any major dome activities until the plot required it.

- Phil will be resurrected from the dead and rotate through the following jobs: sanitation worker, judge, pee wee football coach, wedding planner, dentist, farmer, sax player for Chester Mill's famous rock band (see above), seamstress, preacher, algebra teacher, gigolo, and funeral director.

the out of the dome stuff is what made this show utter crap. Worthless dome can't even keep everyone trapped. Hell, McDonalds could have built a new franchise at the jump zone with all the traffic going through.

More unseen material featuring everyone's favorite teens, Joe, Norrie and Melanie. This was forgotten in the recent celebrity leaks.

This show would still be awful if it was a Saturday morning kids show. It makes Lidsville look like freaking Shakespeare.

I did not mind it yet I was even thinking at the time that having a doorway can make the dome pointless as everywhere can just get out.

I'd comment on this week's show, but I'm too busy trying to revive my girlfriend after letting her freeze to death from hypothermia.

There truly is a fine line between love & hate.

I've finally been seduced to the dark side & come to greatly anticipate the latest weekly awesomeness of awful. Especially fun when catching up On Demand & seeing back-to-back episodes (two's the limit).

Best comedy show on tv! Kudos to writers for going all in to come up with such wicked nonsense. Writer's table must be a hoot...wonder if table reads allow for actors to competitively ad lib.

Egg detector!

"If I didn't have a thing of metal sticking in my leg, this might almost be romantic." Barbie did tell Julia he wants children.

We need demonstrations if this series doesn't sweep the Emmy awards.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS

I've DVR'ed the 2nd season and haven't watched any of it yet....was never coming back to it but I might during the holidays when there's only reruns. Anyways, caught a part of last night's ep. and just saw the ambulance scene and maybe a bit more. Don't they come equipped with some sort of walkie talkie? Obviously, in the scenes after; two other characters are using them. Still dumb as shit....

You might have missed it, Barbie got the walkie talkie and it had been destroyed in the crash.

The engine was running with the ambulance on its side? Haha. Also, why carry her when there was a gurney RIGHT THERE! Lots of head scratchers lately.

Re: Stephen King's Under the Dome - Season 2 Discussion - CBS

#1 Writers watched "The Abyss" right before writing this episode

#2 Can't pull the metal out cause Julia might bleed to death. Have to do Hypothermia. Warm her up at the restaurant as soon as they get there. She recovers from hypothermia. Wouldn't Julia still bleed to death if the metal had hit an major blood vessel? No surgical supplies at the restaurant and Barbie isn't a surgeon.

No need to do the hypothermia thing. The metal hits a blood vessel and she bleeds out in the van or in the restaurant. Metal didn't hit a blood vessel and she doesn't bleed out in the van or the restaurant.

Normal Earth medicine and logic does not operate inside the Dome.

I wondered the same thing. Pulling it out now or later would make little difference so let's try and freeze you to death first? Who writes this show!!?!?!?!?

I'm disappointed that older adults don't enjoy Under The Dome as much as younger people. First they cripple the United States with the burden of onerous entitlements and then they downvote this beloved show. No more Medicare for you, gramps. Teen women have correctly recognized Under The Dome as the masterpiece it is, a reflection of their sophisticated tastes.

Is that "summer scale?" Against other summer offerings, maybe I could stretch to 6 tops, but on "fall scale," the show is a 2 and would be cancelled. The finale will be tested against fall premieres. We'll see how that goes.

The network wishes they had more Under The Dome for their Fall schedule. You can never have enough Dome in your life.

Don't encourage them ... We'll end up with UTD spin offs such as UTD:Topeka or
Girl Meets Dome.

I like the sound of Girl Meets Dome. The Big Dome Theory would be another good one.
