'Under The Dome' Is Back, More Fun Than Ever....



Under the Dome is certainly broadcast television’s most enjoyable science-fiction/fantasy series, a summer treat that, while sometimes silly and over-the-top, is never less than energetically imaginative and aware of the history of its genre.

The Thursday night third-season premiere — two hours airing on CBS if you can survive the second episode of Big Brother — is a showcase for all of Under the Dome’s strengths, and its forgivable flaws. Two notable actors have been added to the mix, and they add a lot: Marg Helgenberger begins her role as a therapist sent to Chester’s Mill to help survivors of the dome to heal, and ER’s Eriq La Salle debuts briefly but effectively as a dastardly villain who thinks he has some control over what’s happening under that dome.

I usually don't care for science-fiction/fantasy but I really, really like this show.

Last night's premiere was fun, creepy, and imaginative. I can't wait to see what happens to everyone.

I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so will one of you privately inbox me?

We had a thunderstorm going on that night and electricity was knocked out right at the end. Melanie had just placed the egg on the "pod?" What happened?

Please, I really want to know!?

Not sure what the heck happened to the original story line last season, they really ran off the tracks. So won't be watching. Will keep reading here though, to possibly netflix it if worth it.

CBS' summer series "Under the Dome" was a big hit in its first season but ratings fell in its second season. The network announced in August that the third season will be its last, ending on September 10.

Lost me after the start of the second season......just completely became unwatchable. Ugh.... not going to miss it at all.
