comment
A 2013 series based on the 2009 novel of the same name, noteworthy due to the involvement of Steven Spielberg and a strong crew of writers, including respected Graphic Novel writer Brian K. Vaughan.A small town in Maine is suddenly enclosed in an impenetrable dome that covers the entire town. All lines of outside communication are cut off, and the majority of emergency services were out of town for a parade at the time.The show was renewed for a second season which ran in the summer of 2014, and had been renewed again for a third season in 2015. It was cancelled on August 31, 2015.

A Form You Are Comfortable With: It was more "a form that was handy". The bringers of the Dome managed to establish verbal communication by assuming the form of Alice.

The Gambling Addict
 Under the Dome / int_11630eaa
comment
The Gambling Addict Peter, Julia's husband, had a serious gambling problem. He gambled away all their savings and owed a lot of money to a bookie. Barbie was sent in by the bookie to collect on the debt. Julia does not find out about this until she is told that he sold his car to a friend and that he mortgaged their house behind her back. Since he owed a bookie a lot of money, he apparently decided to get Genre Savvy. When he could not pay up, the bookie sent an enforcer to collect. Peter decided to meet the enforcer in an out of way cabin and, after the guy started to leave, threatened him with a gun with only one bullet in it. One suspects that he might have been suicidal and wanted to be killed. The fact that he took out a life insurance policy but that it would be voided in case of suicide points to the possibility of a suicide by proxy planned to leave money for Julia. Julia herself takes this interpretation when she figures out what happened, which is probably one reason she takes it so well. Phil is also apparently something of a gambler, as he recognises Barbie as a Loan Shark and was aware of Peter's monetary troubles.

Anyone Can Die: Many recurring characters end up dead. By the end of the series, nine of the fifteen people who were billed as "main" characters - Linda Esquivel, Angie McAlister, James 'Junior' Rennie, Phil Bushey, Dodee Weaver, Carolyn Hill, Sam Verdreaux, Rebecca Pine and Eva Sinclair - died.

Genre Savvy
 Under the Dome / int_1777688d
comment
Genre Savvy: In "Exigent Circumstances", after Jim charges Barbie with several murders (none of which he actually committed apart from Peter Shumway), he offers not to pursue Barbie's allies if he pleads guilty. Barbie doesn't trust Jim to hold up his end of the bargain, so he pleads "not guilty" to piss him off. Big Jim also displays this in the last few minutes of season 3. When Dawn (the new queen of the Kinship) is shown to be alive, he says he expected this.

Adaptational Villainy
 Under the Dome / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Inverted, though one could hardly call it Adaptational Heroism. Jim Rennie comes across as a somewhat power-hungry but well-intentioned selectman, considerably different, at least for the moment, from the Bible-spouting sadistic hypocrite he was from the very beginning of the novel. Likewise, his son Junior is clearly disturbed, but at least he's not murdering women and having sex with their corpses within the first hour of the show. Phil Bushey as well, who is happy to be Big Jim's Dragon but isn't a crazed methhead who burns down the entire town.

Alpha Bitch: Max Seagrave. That said, her life history explains this. Her mother had to prostitute herself to bring money in when she was young. Seeing the way the people of Chester's Mill treated her mother has to be a major driving force in her relentless drive to seize control over the town and bulldoze down anyone who's in her way, by any means up to and including blackmail. Her Batman Gambits are, when they work, extremely effective.

Aborted Arc: Melanie was set up to have a hidden agenda throughout her tenure, manipulating others like Junior, hyper-focusing on the egg, and trapping the townspeople in cocoons to change them into... something. She's killed by her perceived accomplice Christine before any of this can actually bear fruit, and what she was planning or how she even came Back from the Dead is unrevealed.

Only Sane Man
 Under the Dome / int_24321e44
comment
Only Sane Man: After a few days of being under the dome the town seems ready to descend into panic and chaos, but some of the main characters are able to talk people down and keep order. The audience knows that this is actually a subversion since these individuals have their own issues. Big Jim is good in a crisis and has managed to talk down the townspeople on multiple occasions. However, his ego and dark secret are setting up for a major conflict with the other characters. Barbie is able to back up Linda and Big Jim at crucial moments and tries to stop the manhunt for the rogue deputy from turning into a farce and/or tragedy. However, he killed a man right before the dome fell and is now hanging out with the man's wife. Linda seems to have stepped up to her new responsibility as sheriff and is a good counterbalance to Big Jim's ego, but she is clearly under massive strain and is making poor decisions. Junior really stepped up during the quarantine crisis and probably saved a lot of lives by calming down the people in the hospital. However, we know that he is actually the first person to have snapped a result of the dome and the crazy is just bubbling under the surface.

Mythology Gag: In the Series Finale, Big Jim uses a metal facsimile of a baseball from a trophy to beat one of the kinship to death. In the book, he did the same thing to Lester Coggins; the difference is, in the TV Series this was more or less self-defense while in the book Lester was killed to cover up their involvement in Phil Bushey's "business."

Plot Armor: Big Jim Rennie. He's managed to get one over on just about everybody he goes up against. In one episode, Max's "foolproof" escape hatch to keep Jim and Barbie in line falls apart in approximately 10 minutes of that episode as soon as Jim realizes all he has to do is let her mother die when she falls overboard. At that point, she has no hold over him. In fairness, he does suffer a fair bit. Although he still gets Spared by the Adaptation and is a wealthy Congressman in the end.

Butterfly of Doom Alice refusing to let Carolyn steal insulin for her. As a result of this incredibly noble act, when she runs out two episodes later, she wanders out into traffic in a daze, causing a truck to swerve to avoid her and crash into the water tower. This end up breaking the pipeline and losing most of their available clean water, which is made much worse with the discovery that the lake the water was drawn from has become undrinkable, due to being polluted with methane. Combined with the anxiety caused by the bomb failing to breach the dome, a full-scale riot breaks out in the town and leads to the murder of Rose. There's also a literal and very symbolic butterfly trapped in the mini-dome

Skewed Priorities Despite the dome trapping the town, Big Jim makes covering up the propane shipments their top priority. There is very little they can actually do about the dome. However, they should be taking a census, mobilizing resources, trying to communicate with the outside world etc. Naturally, the teenagers take the dome trapping most of their parents out of town, as an opportunity to have many wild house parties.

He also tries to Murder the Hypotenuse, only Barbie has no idea what he's talking about and easily kicks his ass.

Police Are Useless
 Under the Dome / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless While Linda is often the voice of reason and has stepped up admirably in the wake of the Dome coming down and Duke's death shortly afterwards, she's nonetheless repeatedly cow-towed by Big Jim whenever he goes on the warpath, often leading to near-disaster. Similarly, she's thus far proven unable to keep a tight leash on her deputies, leading to one going stir-crazy and accidentally shooting the other, as well as letting Junior remain on the force despite the fact that he's already proven unreliable at best and a loose cannon at worst, particularly when armed. Despite having a ton of evidence that he has been involved with an illegal drug ring for several years, Linda decides not to throw Big Jim in the nearest prison cell and even allow him to continue to run the town. Furthermore, in the same episode she later falls hook, line and sinker for his lie about Barbie being responsible for multiple murders, despite all evidence against him being entirely circumstantial and hearsay, most of it told to her by Big Jim himself. The only two professionally-trained cops in the Dome die in episode 1 and 2, in what seems almost a deliberate attempt to keep the police as useless as possible. The replacement police are appointed and given absolutely zero training for their job (one was the local DJ), and are rarely seen going about the job. Junior has been wearing his police uniform almost 24 hours a day since appointed and has done very little actual police work.

Government Conspiracy
 Under the Dome / int_5a4aa505
comment
Government Conspiracy Subverted. Julia initially assumes that the military is responsible for the Dome, but quickly realizes that it's not the case. However, overheard radio transmissions in the last few episodes of the season imply that the military has at least some knowledge of what's going on. In season 2 it becomes clear there are possibly larger agents at play. It's eventually revealed in season 3 that Aktion Energy was studying eggs, like the one that initially generated the Dome, in order to use them as a new source of clean energy, but when one of their own got possessed by an alien, they kept searching for them in order to find a cure for him and stop a possible invasion. The Dome was triggered when one of Aktion's agents - Christine Price - touched the egg in Chester's Mill and also wound up possessed.

Kangaroo Court Barbie is subjected to one, despite it being perfectly clear that the townspeople were already fully convinced of his guilt and planning to execute him anyway. This happens again with Big Jim and Rebecca Pine in season 2, but this time the town is divided over whether or not they're guilty and violence ensues before the trial can get underway.

Limited Social Circle: Even in the dome, with a limited number of people to talk to, in two weeks the main characters only still only hang around with each other. Julia supposedly knows lots of people in Chester's Mill, but only ever hangs around with Barbie.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones
 Under the Dome / int_63d861f8
comment
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: As bad as they both are, Big Jim and Junior still see each other as family. For example, before going off to kill Maxine, Big Jim tells Junior to stay at home with an almost tearful farewell that makes you wonder if Big Jim knows he might not come back alive. Likewise, Junior seemed pretty upset after receiving the vision from the dome of Big Jim with stab wounds with he and the other kids holding bloody knives. After seeing that, his first impulse is to go find Big Jim and warn him that he might be in danger. And in "The Enemy Within," Big Jim tries not to kill Junior when they have their final fight after the dome comes down, but has to.

 Under the Dome / int_6eb4e408
comment
Artistic License – Military: A first-season episode describes and depicts the MOAB bomb as a missile instead of a bomb. It's also unlikely that the MOAB would be used to destroy a hard target such as the dome, since it's a fuel-air device designed to airburst and demolish softer targets over a wide area. (In the original novel the scene involved a tactical nuke.) It can probably be forgiven for being a dream sequence, but when the one woman sees her Navy husband coming home from deployment, walking down the street, he's wearing a discontinued working uniform and wouldn't be authorized to wear it off base/ship anyway.

Free-Range Children A number of parents were out of town when the dome fell while their teenage children stayed home and were trapped by the dome. Days later no one seems to be too concerned that there are a number of essentially orphaned children running around with no supervision. They seem to largely disappear in season 2 as the teenage threads focus on the main characters. Presumably Angie indulged in this before the dome fell, since neither Joe nor her work colleagues noticed her absence until Day Four.

While Linda is often the voice of reason and has stepped up admirably in the wake of the Dome coming down and Duke's death shortly afterwards, she's nonetheless repeatedly cow-towed by Big Jim whenever he goes on the warpath, often leading to near-disaster. Similarly, she's thus far proven unable to keep a tight leash on her deputies, leading to one going stir-crazy and accidentally shooting the other, as well as letting Junior remain on the force despite the fact that he's already proven unreliable at best and a loose cannon at worst, particularly when armed.

Big Bad: Season 1 has Maxine Seagrave, who comes to town and begins blackmailing the protagonists and even shoots Julia as part of it. As well as Big Jim Rennie, who constantly shifts between Anti-Hero and Anti-Villain. Season 2 has a Big Bad Duumvirate between Rebecca and Big Jim, who want to poison some of the towns residents with a virus. Halfway through Rebecca has a Heel–Face Turn and Big Jim turns back to Anti-Hero and the Big Bad becomes the Dome, which ends up going through various dangerous changes during the second half of the season, which causes major problems for the protagonists. Season 3 begins with Melanie Cross and Christine Price, whose motives aren't really clear, though they have some sort of connection to the Dome. Ultimately, the Kinship as a whole, including its new queen Dawn, serves this role.

Toplessness from the Back: When Angie is having sex with Junior in the Pilot episode, the camera is positioned behind her, so only her bare back is visible. In "Imperfect Circles", when Julia is getting out of bed the morning after sleeping with Barbie, we see her shrugging off the Modesty Bedsheet for a moment, showing her bare back as she gets up. In "Ejecta", when Eva is trying to seduce Barbie, the camera is placed behind her as she takes off her shirt. The audience only sees her bare back, while the few shots from the front use Shoulders-Up Nudity or have Barbie acting as Scenery Censor. In "Breaking Point", Eva and Barbie are making out, when she pushes him into the bed, takes off her shirt and begins straddling him before the scene cuts off. Throughout the scene, we only see her naked back.

The subsequent episode invokes and subverts this however, when it's pointed out that they're attempting to rationalise the unexplainable with sketchy evidence, when practically anything could be linked to the dome using the same logic. However, Angie is later revealed to be one of the Four Hands.

Shoot Out the Lock Linda does this in "The Fourth Hand" to gain access to the warehouse where the propane is being stored. She also bashes the lock off the safe-deposit box entrance door with a fire extinguisher. Not quite shooting it, but still, main force over a key.

Karma Houdini: Big Jim. After having lied, bullied, blackmailed and murdered his way through the entire series, he ends up as a well-paid Congressman without any comeuppance whatsoever, be it legal persecution or whatnot. Granted, he did have to kill his son to get there, but he appears to have gotten over that one pretty well.

Town with a Dark Secret The town authority figures were stockpiling propane for some reason that had nothing to do with the dome (though they are aware it certainly looks like they knew ahead of time). The sheriff tries to explain it to his deputy, but since he's touching the dome at the time, his pacemaker explodes before he can. The third episode reveals that they're involved in the drug trade, producing what is revealed in the ninth episode to be a new designer drug called Rapture.

Putting on the Reich Big Jim does this increasingly as the series progresses.

In season 2, Big Jim and Rebecca, a science teacher, conspire to "thin the herd" by releasing a weaponized flu that is estimated to kill 25% of Chester's Mill, at minimum.

Cliffhanger The first season ends with the Dome glowing with a blinding light, while Big Jim orders Barbie to be hung. The second season ends with Julia confronting a raging homicidal Big Jim while the Dome keeps on shrinking, while the rest of the surviving citizens of Chester's Mill meet a creepy Melanie who indicates them the way to go to save themselves... at least it seems she does. Season 3 ends with the Dome coming down and the military taking all its survivors into custody; seven (including Big Jim's dog Indy) were ultimately allowed to go free as long as they stuck to the official cover story. One year later, six of the seven gather together to discuss their findings: Dawn, the queen of the Kinship, is alive; the viewers also learn she's found a new egg, and intends to use it to start all over. Meanwhile, Norrie has enlisted in the military, and breaks into a top-secret holding facility to find the rest of the Dome's survivors, all of whom remain infected by the Kinship. This group includes Joe, whom she vows to free.

More literally in season 3, a stray dog seems to take a liking to Big Jim. He's annoyed at first, but within a few episodes he's named it Indy and is actively looking for him when he's not around. According to an interview with Dean Norris, this was added specifically to make Big Jim more likable as he's going back to being an antihero this season.

Furthermore, Big Jim is the aggressor for coming onto his land with intent to seize it for himself, only resorting to invoking eminent domain as a flimsy justification.

Locked Out of the Loop
 Under the Dome / int_f06b07ff
comment
Locked Out of the Loop The sheriff kept his deputy sheltered from the town's secrets, since he didn't want her involved. The National Guard on the other side of the dome have thus far made no attempt to communicate with the inhabitants inside, leading Julia and Barbie to speculate whether they've been specifically ordered to ignore them. Joe is smart enough to map the area of the Dome and work out its exact centre, figure out some of the mechanics of how the forcefield operates and theorise on the nature of the seizures he and Norrie have experienced. However, he's too afraid of how other people would react to reveal that they have some strange connection to the dome and enter a trance-like state during their seizures, as well as how this lead them to discover the strange Egg located in the precise centre of the dome, under a mini-dome of its own.

Never Found the Body

comment
Never Found the Body: In season 2, in consecutive episodes, characters fall into a hole and are automatically considered "dead" despite a lack of any evidence either way. The Rule of Drama is the reason. In season 3, Dawn (the new Queen of the Kinship) falls into a pit and is supposedly dead; a year later, when six of the Dome survivors discover she's alive, Big Jim comments that he suspected she was alive because of this.

Cute Bruiser: Melanie. She strangles Ben and her (and Barbie's) dad, and if it hadn't been for Christine's Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind, she'd have gotten Julia as well.

Scifi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale: The promotional shots and the CGI shots from far away don't really capture the dome as big as they ought to.

comment
Pet the Dog: Big Jim seems to be just as upset about Rose's death as Angie, as he considered her a good friend. He doesn't hesitate to give Angie the keys to Rose's diner, and even tells her to say goodbye for the both of them. More literally in season 3, a stray dog seems to take a liking to Big Jim. He's annoyed at first, but within a few episodes he's named it Indy and is actively looking for him when he's not around. According to an interview with Dean Norris, this was added specifically to make Big Jim more likable as he's going back to being an antihero this season.
