Murder! Butterflies! Big Jim shooting televisions and yelling at a dog! Weird alien-like cocoons! An alternate reality! Under the Dome is most certainly back.
The third season premiere left me in a state of shock. Not because anything in the episode was particularly shocking, but because the episode wasn’t terrible. In fact, it was actually kind of OK, in its own universe (compared to most shows it was still pretty disastrous). And, better yet, we got some sort of answers! Granted, not many, and most of what we got was a mind-melting mess, but answers all the same.
My biggest gripe with the premiere came even before the episode started, as Mike Vogel’s opening voiceover ended with “but what if it takes us to an alternate reality?” WAY TO RUIN THE EPISODE BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS, DOME. Seriously though, how stupid is the show for believing its audience to be dumb enough to need to be told what’s going to …show more content…
Wait, isn’t she dead? Maybe Barbie’s living in some alternate reality or something. Anyway, Junior and Big Jim were also still alive, and continued with his mischievous ways by taking his son and Julia hostage. He then delivered a line that left me wondering when we were going to get Barbie back to Julia. “I may need you for repopulation.” Seriously, Jim? He’s moved on from his once-dead-turned-alive-now-dead-again wife pretty quickly, and has clearly had some temporary amnesia to forget that he killed a whole bunch of people and is hated by pretty much everyone, especially Julia. Well, unless this show has suddenly become Game of Thrones (Game of Thrones really needs some domes to make it more interesting). Big Jim let the pair go, and allowed them to take the ladder that they needed, because he’s just that nice of a guy. Or my amnesia theory was accurate. He didn’t let them go without giving Junior a taste of his own medicine however, putting a bullet into the kid’s left shoulder. There goes my amnesia theory.
