Under the Dome: Legacy
August 21, 2015 11:50 AM - Season 3, Episode 10 - Subscribe
Everyone's working on a secret agenda, which means Jim shares similar goals, even if he doesn't know it, with a surprising group -- the kinship. [EW]
It's now been 4 weeks under the dome. Julia and Barbie have a tearful reunion while the mob heads to the hideout to burn the resistance out. During that firefight, help arrives unexpectedly from outside in the form of new character Hector, head of Aktaion with a handful of soldiers.
Sam has the captured Joe working on sound waves who realizes that with the Dome calcifying, they all need to work on this. Big Jim comes to the same conclusion but Hector thinks otherwise.
Barbie needs to attend pregnant Eva who has sucked the life force out of all the temple virgins and it looks like he is wavering again in his loyalties.
AV Club recap

Ugh. I thought this week was a throwback to last season: let's add more characters and more exposition and more boring backstories. And just when it looked like the kinship and the resistance might have a common goal, let's throw in another senseless roadblock.
re 4 weeks ago, has anyone sat down and attempted to count the actual days as shown in the series? I mean, I know the producers have no clue but someone online? I'd like to think if it's been a month since the Dome came down that there'd be a little ceremony commemorating it.

Terrible episode, and we had a scene between Barbie and wet blanket Joe, the worst possible combination.
No good quotes this week.
Yep.

Also: the let's-just-use-the-purple-lightbulb at the very end was hilarious.

Awww, I like Joe. I'm never annoyed watching his scenes, he's such a kid. Junior however, he's a combination of morose and entitlement.

Huh. Okay Joe has his fans. Actually maybe he had the most quotable line in an unremarkable episode:
Never.
gonna.
happen.

This is truly terrible TV. Not fun ironic bad TV, not amusing schlock sci-fi TV. Just bad TV. But I'm trapped Under the Dome with the actors and the writers. And with you, gentle Metafilterer. Please, Joe, finish building your hi-fi radio so we can shatter the calcified dome and end this TV show.
The shocking reveal to me was that there are 2000 people trapped with us Under the Dome. In last season's finale there were like 35 people shambling through the styrofoam tunnels. Where'd the other 1965 go to? Are there cocoons for them all?
I also liked all the creepy sexuality/maternity stuff, Barbie's split loyalty and Julia's jealously and the young fertile women sacrificing themselves to The Queen. The only thing confusing all this is the African heritage of the Queen Mother. Doesn't The Dome have a thing for redheads?

We can finally be together(See, there are quotable lines!)
Out of Chester's Mill
In the real world
Not some fake-ass reality
Where someone's pulling our strings

Maybe one of the more scientific MeFites here can address this, but is it possible that The Dome is somehow transmitting oxytocin through the television into our brains? Because that would explain a lot.
And omg yes The Dome has a thing for redheads.

They blew up the red door, which means either the dome is coming down or they'll have to find a new way to get people inside next year.
