So “Under The Dome” had a two hour premiere tonight. What did we learn about the dome? Did the people get free? Those are good questions, the first of which we still don’t have answers to! It seems nobody actually escaped the dome as we thought they did, but were held in these cocoons in the tunnels by Melanie, who created a false world for them. Barbie’s father returned the egg to Melanie, only to get killed for it. Julia and Big Jim, the only people who didn’t get sucked into Melanie’s fake world, finally freed everyone by the end of the episode. Melanie claimed they didn’t understand what they were doing, but Big Jim & Julia didn’t care. Big Jim shattered the egg, which opened all the cocoons. Unfortunately two new people came out of two of the cocoons. Christine (Marg Helgenberger) and Eva (Kylie Bunbury) were in the fake world Melanie created for the people of Chester’s Mill, and seemed to be part of the whole conspiracy to keep everyone trapped in that fake world. Now however they are trapped in the dome too. Who are they? Where did they come from? That’s a good question. Something tells me they may work for the company that Barbie’s father was a part of, and now Eric La Salle (“ER”) seems to be in charge of. That dude was a dick on “ER,” and he’s a dick on this show too!

Honestly, I feel like that was two hours of my life I’ll never get back. Hopefully the promos promising all will be revealed this season aren’t full of it, because I don’t know how much longer I can hang onto this show that seems to be going nowhere.

Spoilers for the next two shows below!
