Under The Dome Thoughts . . . + Spoilers!
So I ended up buying the book for “Under The Dome.” All 1000 pages . . . I figured by time next summer is here, I should have it read!
Last week saw the demise of Alice, one half of the show’s Lesbian couple. However as she died, a new life came into the world . . . the first dome baby. Why do I have this feeling that baby will rapidly age and become Alice 2.0? Especially since the mom named it after her.
The two kids (I’m still really bad with all their names unless I look at IMDB) found a bizarre small dome within the dome with an egg under it. Last week the girl had a vision of her mom, and then she ended up dying. In this episode the boy took Julia to it, where she had a prophecy the boy told her that “A new monarch would be crowned.” He of course is now worried that he’ll die.
It seems this new monarch would be “Big Jim,” who used Barbie, the Sheriff and others to help him overtake some farmer who controlled the one working well in the town. Now that he has it, he controls everything . . . or at least whether people wanna live or die under the dome.
Given the show has been renewed, I’m just wondering how they will continue this show when every episode is a blood bath? Sure, five unimportant people died in this episode, but it was still five people. Last week Alice died, she was an important character so far. Before that, other important people died too. They better stop killing people!
I do get a “Revolution” vibe from this show, especially after this episode. I begrudgingly watched that show’s whole season, and likely will watch next year too. I just hope “Under The Dome” doesn’t start making me roll my eyes every episode at ludicrous scenarios.
SPOILERS for the next episode below!

BIG JIM AND BARBIE REALIZE THEY HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN THEY KNEW WHEN A MUTUAL ACQUAINTANCE SHOWS UP IN CHESTER’S MILL, ON “UNDER THE DOME,” MONDAY, AUGUST 19
Natalie Zea (“Justified”) Guest Stars as Maxine, the Mutual Acquaintance
“The Fourth Hand” – Big Jim and Barbie discover their lives are more intertwined than they knew when a mysterious woman, Maxine, shows up unexpectedly in Chester’s Mill, on UNDER THE DOME, Monday, August 19 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Natalie Zea (“Justified”) guest stars as Maxine.
I don’t think the new monarch is Big Jim, I think it has more to do with the butterfly tattoo on the girl, I don’t know much about butterflies, but there is a monarch one, which may or may not have been the one she has. It has been awhile since I read the book, and I know it has been said the show is taking its own route, but that is my guess at this point. Big Jim pretty much has had the run of the town through the whole show so he wouldn’t really be ” new “.

I find this show to be more like “Lost” than anything else I’ve seen. But (so far) without the ridiculous plotlines involving smoke monsters and the like. I think the “monarch” mentioned in last night’s episode has something to do with all the butterflies that were trying to get into the dome and the girl’s tattoo.
I’ll keep watching just to see Junior get his due.

Yeah, I am about 635 pages into the book, and know that the tv show is so far off course from the book that in many respects the only thing shared is the name and characters. I don’t think that it will end or be similar to the book in the what happens.
