Under the Dome / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: On the cusp of baring Big Jim's machinations to the town, the dearly-departed police chief's wife is summarily choked to death by Big Jim himself. Andrea Grinnell is gunned down in a town meeting. Most jarring, perhaps, is the gradual erosion of the Dinsmore family due to various and sundry Dome-related maladies. The remaining son survives. Barely. King throws some final punches at the end when he kills young'uns Benny Drake and Aidan Appleton, old man Ernie Calvert and out-of-towner Thurston. To put it in perspective: Chester's Mill had a population around two thousand when the dome dropped. There are 26 survivors all in all.

Chef and Andy, who knew Big Jim would send men after them eventually, were lying in wait, and they kill every last one of the cops, except the one who really deserved it, Melvin Searles, who raped Sammy Bushey, who was Chef's wife back when he was still Phil Bushey and relatively sane. However, Melvin does buy it when Andy and Chef blow the stored propane and pull a Taking You with Me on the entire town.

Under the Dome / int_272abb98	comment	Shoot the Shaggy Dog The entire winding saga of the VADER file. Chief Perkins' findings about the meth operation are carefully printed by Brenda and kept a secret between her and Barbie. They set up a plan to give it to Julia for safety, but a matter of timing has it ending up with Andrea instead. Not only does Brenda get killed by Big Jim shortly after, but Andrea's seizure makes her forget about it completely. The file is not found for a long time, and when Andrea finally finds it again, she bravely takes it to face Big Jim herself...and is shot down and killed in front of a crowd. Big Jim just burns the papers after. Sammy Bushey starts off the story as a single parent left behind by her husband, and often sells sexual favors and drugs just to get by. Her only friend, Dodee, is murdered early on, and once the "special deputies" take over, she's repeatedly tormented and humiliated by them. They gangrape her later, with the only girl, Georgia Roux, cheering them on with "Do that bitch!" Afterwards, a severely-bleeding Sammy gets lucky and is taken by Piper to the hospital, but not only does Piper's anger take over her sympathy, but Sammy fears being tortured further once the word gets out. A completely broken woman, she kills two of the special deputies and then herself.

Over the course of the town's time under the dome, however, most of the good or so-so cops (Duke, Linda, Jackie, Stacey, Rupe, and Trent) die, quit, or get stuck outside of the dome, while the worst ones gain more power and plenty of Black Shirt new officers are hired. By the last act, Henry Morrison is the only veteran officer left with both intelligence and a good conscience (although he has a high opinion of one new officer, Pamela Chen), and the corrupt Selectman Rennie is planning to fire him at the earliest chance.

Frankie, Melvin, and Carter take turns having their way with Sammy Bushey, and Georgia is essentially their rape cheerleader. Carter also molests Linda Everett late in the book, and threatens to rape her in front of her daughters.Exceptions are the younger teen trio of Joe, Benny and Norrie.

Under the Dome / int_43a045de	comment	Dropped a Bridge on Him: Carolyn Sturge. King spent a decent amount of time developing her character, what with her coming to grips with taking care of Aidan and Alice, and even deciding that she'd give them up to their original parents, if they were still alive. On paper, this isn't as bad until you take into account that she only went to the town meeting because Aidan and Alice begged her to take them to it, resulting in them getting a front-row seat for her death. The worst part about it is that it came out of nowhere, as she's murdered for absolutely no good reason. Junior as well. He's set up as one of the three main villain threats along Chef and Big Jim, but during the operation to break Barbie out of jail, he's gunned down with little fanfare.

Outside from the point-blank villainous "special deputies", Morrison and Randolph are the only remaining real cops, and they're subservient to Big Jim and incapable of keeping the others in line.

Under the Dome / int_63389b0b	comment	Kids Are Cruel As a child, Julia was followed by bullies who were tired of her being a teacher's pet who snitched on one of their brothers. They beat her, spat on her, and pantsed her before leaving her alone. One of them lingered behind to give her a sweater to cover up with, but even then, Julia notes she probably only did it because she pitied her, not because she was sorry. The Dome itself is the result of alien children using it to torment the citizens the way a child might to do ants with a magnifying glass. That is, they are aware that humans are social creatures who have families and colonies...they just don't care. When Julia pleads for one of them to spare the survivors, it actually takes the form of the girl who gave her the sweater, to deliver a message: they pity them, but they're not sorry.

The government continues trying to build a second pencil nuke, but by that point, things are so bad they finally decide they don't have time.

Under the Dome / int_73b9b420	comment	Fox News Liberal: Reversed. Julia Shumway is described as a Republican, although she drives a hybrid car, attends the liberal church, and never expresses any sort of conservative opinion. Dale Barbara often says things like, "Are you sure you're a Republican?", usually after she says something implying that she doesn't blindly follow Big Jim's authority, which seems to be the book's main qualification for a Republican. Which would just be a sign of Barbie's own personal biases, except that she never once responds to him with a coherent reason why she is one. This has more to do with the distinction between conservative and Republican. Julia Shumway is portrayed as conservative in a number of ways (one humorous example is her thought on what her historical hero's reaction would be to a world where civilians were required by law to pick up after their pet's poo), and she admits to having voted for Rennie when he was "saner" because she liked what he campaigned on. It's only when he shows his true colors as a power-hungry sociopath that she starts expressing more "liberal" misgivings about the abuses of power going on.

His wife is one of the first people killed when she, and a man whom she may or may not have been in an affair with, crash a plane into the side of the Dome. Very soon after this, Andy's daughter, Dodee, is murdered and raped by Junior Rennie simply because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. After her body is discovered, Andy nearly commits suicide, then chooses instead to confront Chef, an insane tweeker, and probably get killed in the process. Instead of this, Chef gets Andy hooked on meth and gives him an AK-47, recruiting him into his "holy army". The pair then proceed to massacre a squadron of policemen and blow up the meth lab, all but wiping out the town's population in the process.

And even before the Dome, he's been taking part in a townwide meth operation that he blackmails people into keeping quiet about. When Coggins and Brenda threaten to spill the secret, he kills the both of them. When Barbie is promoted to Colonel and told to take control over the town, Rennie conspires to frame him for murder just to do so. A good chunk of Chester Mill's citizens are fully aware of what a crook he is but are powerless to stop him.

Anson and Toby are Villainy-Free Villain's, and Toby seems like an Unwitting Pawn as he talks about his understanding of Jim's actions to Rommie, while Pamela is considered the Only Sane Man of the new officers and handles herself well during visitors day.

Jim asks Carter to turn the lights off while he prays; Carter actually does it and realizes immediately afterwards that letting Big Jim out of his sight was a big mistake. Brenda Perkins is an otherwise smart woman, but decides that she'll be perfectly safe confronting Big Jim about the meth operation just because they're outside. Big Jim points out that it's on an empty street just before he snaps her neck. Peter Randolph and the other police officers during the assault on the meth lab. They somehow forget to bring the body armor and helmets, and then don't bother to go back for them, because Randolph doesn't think they'll need them.

The wife and one of the friends are killed in the ensuing crash. The "rebelling" group—including Julia, Barbie, the Everetts, and others—end up a safe enough distance from the firestorm to make it to high ground and the edge of the Dome, where the military pumps oxygen in through the side. Unfortunately, the trapped smoke kills several of them, including Audrey, Ernie, Thurston, Benny, and Aiden. Andrea confronting Jim during his rally almost turns the tide and brings him down in time to salvage the situation, before she gets shot. During visitors day, Mauve Shirt deputies Pamela Chen and Henry Morrison, along many others, including children, try to make it through the fireball on a school bus, with the audience really rooting for them to make it, but in the end the fireball just extends too far.

After Phil/Chef blows the stored propane, Jim and Carter Thibodeau retreat to the fallout shelter to avoid the ensuing firestorm. Carter eventually decides to kill Rennie because of Rennie's ungrateful behavior (and because he feels that he'll live longer if Big Jim isn't alive to breathe his share of the air in the shelter), but he makes the mistake of turning off the lights and Rennie kills him. However, this leaves Big Jim alone in the shelter, and he's unable to get the propane tank changed on his own. Alone in the dark with the body of his former bodyguard and suffering from heart flutter, he's haunted by visions of his victims claiming revenge against him. In blind panic, he makes his way to the exit of the fallout shelter, opens the door, and promptly chokes on the smoky, oxygen-starved air. And of course, it's only through Big Jim Rennie's actions that the town is in its current state in the first place.

Under the Dome / int_f76842b1	type	The Fundamentalist
Under the Dome / int_f76842b1	comment	The Fundamentalist: Lester Coggins, pastor of the Christ the Holy Redeemer church. When you consider other characters like this in Stephen King novels (like Mrs. Carmody of The Mist or Margaret White of Carrie), you might think he'd end up being a problem for the more reasonable inhabitants of Chester's Mill. He turns out to be a Red Herring, though, as he gets killed by Big Jim less than a third of the way through the book, when he tells Jim he feels that he must confess to the congregation that they've been running a meth lab.
