Any number of reasons - maybe her power was limited or maybe she thought it was a handy way of getting rid of one of her arch-nemesisises and knowing that she wasn't actually going to be in any danger herself? Then add in the need to have an enemy fully experience their defeat rather than a micro-second of 'oh bollocks'. Also, screen drama

It was the injection of the supposed cure that did that.

I loved Dawn and her dismissal of the Chester's Mill townspeople as useless. But how could anyone have believed she was dead with no body being found?

I was thinking (and this is prob giving the writers too much credit so prob nothing!!) maybe she knew that falling down there would bring her out in Zenith all along kind of thing? I mean she was told there were "tunnels" at the old mill that would get her to the town, and in the last season barbie fell down a hole/shaft in that area and ended up at that playground in Zenith, but when that DJ guy tried he got impaled on rocks.
So are we meant to guess that she went straight to Zenith? Or that she clung on and climbed out when they'd all buggered off?!!!!!

I think the only answer to that is "yes".

It might have been interesting to see the aliens that Christine was afraid of turn up; maybe the Kinship were right and we did need them to protect us from the other aliens.

The end of the previous story was no worse than I expected. I quite liked the bit about Norrie and Joe being able to whistle because they'd been selected as Hands back in season 1, and the callback to some of the old locations.”

I think MAYBE that a race hunting the kinship (to stop their virus like spread in the universe) end up erecting a dome/spherical shield around the Earth, slowly killing life on Earth. The hunt is on to destroy the kinship and find a way to contact the new race (likely one got trapped on Earth). Stakes raiser, right?

But honestly, I original thought the finale would be loads of eggs going off worldwide, cutting off dozens of cities/towns. We already know many fell and they only found "some" of them. With the main cast travelling to other domes via portal cliff jumps. Of course, that was the previous season, before the whole kinship stuff.

I love the fact that Dawn, played by the actress who also played her mother Eve but now wearing a crap blonde wig, was continually told by the other characters that she had her father's eyes, despite her obviously BEING HER MUM IN A CRAP BLONDE WIG .

It was a bit disappointing that, at the end, Joe didn't describe to us what was happening "Norrie! I'm stuck in this room in suspended animation until the government can find a cure for the kinship!" seeing as that was his main purpose throughout the whole run of the show...

Every show needs a narrator - shall we say 'to fine-tune and clarify the narrative' - and they already used the other characters at various times for the show intro. If you tell people that what they remembered from previous shows is completely wrong they are more inclined to take than on board than if you just present it as 'always been like that'.

As for the blonde wig side of it, there's the whole "dude, that's your daughter" thing that we saw When Barbie met Dawn* even if she is an evil alien hellspawn demon energy being thing without the decency to look even vaguely lizard-like.



* though that sounds like the title of an educational documentary

just for the record I thought Dawn was way hotter than her mother, I didnt have a problem with the "crap blonde wig"

The tunnels under the cement factory were supposed to lead to "the next town." I don't think that was Zenith; wouldn't it be the town where the parade was that all the firefighters had gone to? (I don't think I'm the only person to think of it as Shelbyville.) I thought the tunnels with the magic portal to Zenith had been destroyed. So, I think she managed to get into the tunnels that led to the next town and escaped that way.

Ah but you are forgetting in Domeland we keep our options open and having to choose one particular path is just so limiting! Though thinking about it, a combination of the two wouldn't necessarily be wrong - she could have found a handhold a way down out of sight and then climbed up, or even survived the fall because she's a goddamn superman too and it wasn't a bottomless pit as it was formed when the dome shrunk. Or as per the suggestion, did a super-speed scarper while the other plank occupant was busy trying not to die.

I think my answer was inevitable plus It's a good way to buy some time to get past the initial 'NFI' period.

When women become evil in tv and film they always grow a bigger cleavage and become far hotter.

It the law.

I vague remember tunnels from the first season. Initially they thought they might be a way under the dome, and later they were used to shelter from bad things happening above ground. I figured the tunnels in the finale were the same ones, and a shout-out to the first season.

I wonder what Stephen King thought about season 3 and the way it all ended.

Just what I said having just finished watching. Can't believe the bloody Americans have cancelled it. Barsterds.

Was this show cancelled? because I didn't like the ending and it felt like a cliffhanger. I know a lot of people didn't like this show, but overall I found it enjoyable, silly but fun.

Won't be a show I rewatch any time in my life time.

It is definitely a show without any rewatch value.

I only watched it in the hope things would get better, or so bad it was good. But it just got worse and worse. The ending was an insult to people who stuck by it.

They hoped another network might pick it up but so far there's been no sign of that happening.

If anyone has the chance, try and get a look at an article in SFX Magazine. Towards the back they have reviews etc. This article is about Under the Dome and is very funny.
