Ooh, nasty! I guess Rebecca was not an electrical problem... And it does look like Big Jim will end up not so big!
So does Junior throw Julia (and sacrificing himself), or does he go back to get a tree to climb across, what happens to people who fall, and where does the tunnel actually go?
I was almost expecting "Come with me if you want to live" but was definitely expecting to see their guide - something of an inevitability.
Talking of injuries, didn't Whatsisname (the teenage lad) have a nail pushed through the middle of his hand (because of the strong magnetic forces) a few episodes ago? It healed almost instantaneously. ...
I'm pretty sure I saw a bandage on his hand - yep, just checked, there seems to be a 'left-hand-bandage' club going on there, also last week's episode so we're OK there!
Also, it's much clearer about Julia's leg-bandage, there's no way those painted-on jeans are coming off without specialist equipment...

That wasn't from the nail, it was from when he got his hand stuck on the dome a couple of episodes ago. The nail injury healed straight away.

Nitpicker! :mad:
Actually a clean nail through the hand is easily patched and if they had a spare soldering iron kicking about that would seal it quite efficiently too but obviously they don't show that sort of thing because there's not enough blood flying around. If there had been a pool of lava they could have used that instead to stop the bleeding.
Where did the stretcher suddenly appear from after the stabbings by the pit in the woods?
Do keep up it was the one they used for Melanie so really she did have to disappear because it's only designed for one person and having to share is just not on.
For a whole town, there didn't exactly seem to be a whole lot of people waiting to be led down the tunnel did there?
Half had already gone in and half were still on the way in the buses so we were only seeing the remaining half that were already there but still in the queue for the ladder. Hope that's cleared that up

Soldering irons? You just need to wrap a light bandage around a wound. Doesn't the show teach you anything?

Nah, lost me somewhere! Perhaps half went down the other fork in the tunnel?
So do you agree with Julia that Barbie is 'the one'? I get the feeling it's going to be someone else.
Who knows? Probably even the writers don't know yet!
His hand did magically unblock the tunnel, although you'd have thought that sort of trick would have been performed by one of the sets of four 'hands'. Mind you, they keep killing those people off, so perhaps it's good to have some spare hands in, er, hand.
I agree, to a point - she is the one that has brought him back from the brink of total all-out nuttery - which is why he should be saved because that's Redemption.
Julia should be saved because she has Faith.
Big Jim should become Much Smaller Jim because he has turned nasty and in spite of everything still doesn't 'get' the Dome - plus the tunnel entrance was starting to look a tad cluttered...
I think the writers went full-postal with the 'Jim is bad' in this finale. The viewers didn't forget what a douchebag he was, it was the townsfolk had a memory like a bleedin' goldfish when it came to big Jim.
When Dr. Sam was dressing Pauline's wound I thought to myself, 'geez, I hope he remembers to put the bandage on the outside of her clothing.'
I can't decide if I'll tune in for season 3 at this point. It's silly but it seems to be aware of its silliness.
I suppose it's just the next stage after you've chained someone up in an underground bunker to force them to fancy you
Indeed, and then when the person you kept in a bunker gets brutally murdered next to a school locker inside which is an underground passageway leading to a cliff at the bottom of which is a playground in another town, and you wonder if you committed that brutal murder, you know it's time to switch your affections to the youthful-looking 50 year-old whom your mum and friends left to die in a crater years before .... don't you?

I think that's Under The Dome's great redeeming quality. The show seems to relish its madcap absurdities and delivers its serial luntaic twists with a knowing sense of fun - e.g. Big Jim going so gloriously "bad slasher-flic nutso bad guy" over Pauline's death.
One of the reasons I can't get into Scorpion, another CBS show full of logic-defying plot nonsense, is that the latter seems so utterly po-faced about taking itself seriously by comparison.
Isn't Sam actually a Vet? Clothing on a patient obviously confuses him
I believe he said he was a former EMT (emergency medical technician) but that he lost that job because he was an alcoholic.
I find it very annoying that we are apparently supposed to have forgotten that he murdered Angie, though. Now he seems to be a good guy.
I was thinking that if the opening takes them all out of the dome, there will only be Jim, Julia and Junior left for the next season, but then I realised the dome can resurrect people from the dead, so we could have back any of the characters who have been killed off since the series started, or they could just bring in a load of new characters and say they died 25 years ago or whatever!
But more likely Melanie's "we're going home!" means "back into Chester's Mill".

And now we know! Sorry, a typo like that was too good to miss
Quality self-portrait she did though.

And back next year, more please
June 2015 US pace, so probably August UK pace.

Do keep up

As long as it's not Big Jim, I'm not sure I care!
Because he fancies the new girl.
That would mean you had four halves which is really not on - three is fine but four is just being ridiculous

Be honest - who has not, at some point, fancied their Mum or Dad's old school friend who died 30 years ago?

Poor, frustrated, Barbie
