Labor Day ushers in the end of summer, even in Chester’s Mill, which experienced a brush of chilly weather in the episode aptly titled, “The Fall.” Apparently, the dome accelerates the seasons (or just coincides with the season in which it airs). The better title would have been “Reunion” since that’s what the episode was …

Under the Dome: “The Red Door” recap – Guess Who’s Back in the Dome
“The Israelites would paint their doors red with the blood of lambs as a symbol of sacrifice,” said Lyle, in the latest episode of “Under the Dome,” aptly titled “The Red Door.” Let’s not start in with this biblical allusion shit, UTD. Save that for “LOST.” If there’s anything that’s consistent with this CBS show, …

Under the Dome: White Redheads Can’t Jump
I hate to say it. But life outside of the dome is more exciting than inside of it. Last week’s twist—that Barbie, Sam, and Lyle had all escaped—has given season 2 some new life. Let’s look at it this way. They’re not doing much of anything in Chester’s Mill. In this week’s episode “Awakenings,” Joe …

“Going Home” – You Can’t Go Dome Again
In this week’s “Going Home” episode, we got a glimpse of life Outside of the Dome (I smell a spin-off!), with two characters dying and experiencing rejuvenation. If you watched last week’s episode, you can guess who the first character was (Uncle Sam), and if you happened to see previews for this week’s episode, with …
Under the Dome: In the Dark
I have a theory. What if “Under the Dome” is connected with “The Leftovers”? Halfway through Monday’s “In the Dark” episode, I wondered whether Lyle’s Four Hands theory affected the love-it-or-hate-it HBO drama. What if they existed in the same universe? After all, Lyle believed that killing Angie, Joe, Junior, and Norrie would bring down …
Under the Dome: Reconciliation
“Under the Dome” has oft been compared to the plot of The Simpsons’ movie. As fans of the film will recall, Springfield was covered in a dome after the town was deemed too environmentally toxic due to an influx of pig poo. The other thing UTD has in common with the movie and Fox series …
Under the Dome: Revelation
“If this place runs out of food, let’s hope we’re not on the menu,” said Barbie in last Sunday’s episode of “Under the Dome.” Seriously. Of all the networks to do a show about cannibalism, who would have thought CBS? (Interesting crossover idea for “Big Brother.”) But, yes, eating each other was the underlying message …
Under the Dome: It’s raining blood! Halleluiah! It’s raining blood!
Never a dull moment in Chester’s Mill. So far this season we’ve seen a magnetic dome, killer caterpillars, and now a little Type O in the town below. The episode opened with New Girl going through Barbie’s belongings (err probably more of Julia’s belongings since he moved in with her). Barbie caught her and became …

Under the Dome: The Butterfly Effect
Just when you thought it was safe to use metal appliances again, the folks at Chester’s Mill faced a whole new problem in this week’s “Infestation” episode. Killer. Caterpillars.
Under the Dome 2.0: Heads Will Roll (Spoilers)
In the opening moments of “Heads Will Roll,” the season premiere of CBS’ “Under the Dome,” a church bell slammed into Chester’s Mill’s infamous dome with a deep gong. It was almost the show’s way of reintroducing itself, and saying, “We’re back!” When we last left UTD, Barbie (Mike Vogel) was about to be executed …
