underthedome910smallTonight, after 3 seasons and only like a month of elapsed time, the Dome finally comes down in the series finale of Under the Dome. Last week, the Dome continued to calcify, with those trapped inside in increasing danger of suffocating. Christine ordered her kinship to start executing the elderly in order to conserve oxygen and then transferred her own energy into the cocoon holding Eva’s alien baby, the future queen. As a result, she ended up human and was horrified when she saw that her former kinship started moving on to the children. She pretended to still be their queen and tried to order them to stop, but Junior and the others could see through this and went after her, but Barbie stepped in just in time to save her.

The Resistance (and new member Christine) worked feverisly on the plan to bring the Dome down and on a cure for the infected. However, Hektor didn’t want the aliens to get free and wanted to stop Joe before he could bring down the Dome. He tried to kill Joe, but Big Jim got to him first. Meanwhile, the new queen emerged from her cocoon, now a full-sized adult who looked just like Eva. She grabbed Christine and threw her against the Dome wall, causing her to disintegrate.

Can the Resistance stop this new queen before she kills them all? Can they find a cure to save the folks of Chester’s Mill who are under her spell? Can they bring down the Dome before it’s too late? What will happen once the Dome comes down? Why was the Dome there in the first place, and what was the point of all this?

While I enjoyed the first season of Under the Dome, the series quickly went off the rails in season 2, and this past season has been a total mess. This “event series” should have only been a single season, but the creators got greedy and decided to stretch the story out. I really hope they’ve got a good, satisfying ending for us! Those of us who stuck with it (and those just checking back in tonight) deserve a decent resolution and explanation tonight!

On tonight’s finale, “The Enemy Within,” the Dome comes down and the Resistance tries to protect the outside world from the infected townspeople.

To see how the series ends, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Brother, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, Married, Review, and Documentary Now!

underthedome2015smallTonight, Under the Dome returns for another season of craziness with a special 2-hour premiere. When we last left off, the dome was contracting and all of those inside were anxiously looking for some way out. The townsfolk had descended into the crater and followed a path marked by a monarch butterfly. Back on the surface, Pauline was in pain, and Rebecca agreed to assist her with her suicide. However, when Big Jim discovered this, he went off the rails, picked up a hammer, and killed Rebecca with a single blow. He then threatened the dome that if it didn’t bring Pauline back to life, he would start killing all of those with a special bond to it.

When the dome (obviously) didn’t respond, Big Jim headed off to Andrea’s, where he held her at gunpoint as Julia tried to reason with him. But he shot Andrea in the head and then went after Julia, who was able to escape by stabbing Big Jim in the foot. Junior had a stand-off with his father and managed to shoot him in the shoulder. Back in the crater, Barbie was leading the townspeople down the path when they hit a dead end. He touched the wall, and it started to glow, and Melanie appeared, telling the townsfolk to follow her back home.

Where are the townsfolk going — what is “home”? And what about those who weren’t able to cross the gap left by the earthquakes? What is their plan of escape? Will the quakes and dome contraction stop once these others leave? What will those left behind do with Big Jim? Will we ever get an answer to who or what put the dome over Chester’s Mill and why?

On tonight’s 2-hour premiere, “Move On/But I’m Not,” Chester’s Mill residents appear inside and outside the Dome following an evacuation into the tunnels beneath the town. Meanwhile, the Dome begins to reveal its ultimate agenda; and surprising alliances form as new residents emerge.

See what answers we get tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Brother, The Astronaut Wives Club, Rookie Blue, Hannibal, BOOM! , Wayward Pines, The Comedians, and Complications.
