Under The Dome: The Endless Thirst


Under The Dome is a hit TV series based on the book crafted by none and only Stephen King. If you haven't heard anything about it, please attempt to watch the first episode after this post. I swear, you will be hooked! I swear, it is almost as good as AMC's The Walking Dead or AMC's Breaking Bad. I really can't decide which is better! It's crazy because I've been obsessed with the two latter shows since they aired, which shows how good Under The Dome is.


( My only complaint is how I have to wait 7 long days to watch another episode! haha )

Comment below "Alligator Fingers!"

This will just be a synopsis of what occurred, in case you missed the episode! (This post will feature the most important points in the episode)

After being bombed in the last episode, the whole town of Chester's Mill figure out that the dome is still firmly in place. Linda informs Big Jim of the town pastor's body, which upset him. (Big Jim killed the pastor) The cops' walkie-talkies and the radio station is not functioning properly as some weird interference is present within the dome. Linda asked Barbie to join the police, however, he refused. He would help her out though. Big Jim also reinforces everyone that the supplies(food, water, etc.) will be sustained. (yea right ?)



Angie smashes a snowglobe into Junior's head (finally) and makes a run for it. Meanwhile, Alice instructs Carolyn to stop the car because she, at this point, is going delusional. She gets out of the car and walks towards the middle of the road. She almost gets hit by a truck (thank goodness she didn't! She's one of my faves,) and the truck hits the water tower instead. Large amounts of water gushes out of the tower. Here we learn that Alice hasn't taken any insulin for a long while so she is rushed to the hospital. The hospital also doesn't have any insulin left.



Dodee, with Julia, uses this device to find what's disrupting the radio station. Meanwhile, Linda and Barbie sees the scene of the water dome and rushes to the lake to gather water. Unfortunately, the water is not safe; fish are floating on the surface. They inform Big Jim that methane is polluting the water. Big Jim, who has a map of Chester Mill's wells, goes to Ollie, where a well is located.



Terry, the store owner, has a line-up of customers wanting supplies such as food and water. He says that he is no longer accepting money. Instead, he expects customers to pay with the currency of propane or batteries. The townspeople receive the news that water sources are depleting so they want to stock up.

On the other hand, Big Jim is in Ollie's farm-place-thing. Ollie agrees to give his water to the town for some of Big Jim's propane. He then states how peculiar it is for Big Jim to have so much propane when it is needed (very weird indeed)


The townspeople go berserk. They start a riot in the "downtown" area of Chester's Mill, stealing everything that they possibly can. Barbie, Linda and Junior are all attempting to calm everyone down, but there's no hope. Meanwhile, Norrie and Joe try to steal insulin from other diabetics in the town. At this point, Dodee and Julia realize that the power source is moving.

Angie, who's been running away from Junior all this time, ends up in the diner. She tells Rose everything: how Junior kidnapped her, how Big Jim was reluctant in releasing her, etc. Rose believes her. Clint and Waylon (two losers.. ugh I hate these guys!) breaks into the diner to steal some food. One of them beats Rose until she's dead (:'( ) and the other hits Angie. While unconscious, one of the gross men goes outside while the other stays with Angie (probably to do something very nasty?)

Norrie and Joe go into a house to steal some insulin, finding that a little cute probably 7-year old kid has diabetes and needs the medicine. Norrie gets a conscience and returns all the insulin except for one. Finally, Dodee and Julia hone in on the signal. Norrie and Joe are the source. They show them the video where they have seizures whenever they touch.


Barbie comes to the rescue. He beats up Clint and Waylon and saves Angie. While the town still is in a riot, Big Jim, after grabbing the water from Ollie, shows up as the rain starts pouring. Everyone stops and is glad. They start collecting the rainwater. Julia, Dodee, Joe and Norrie go towards the edge of the dome. Norrie touches the dome and the radio starts in a car maybe twenty feet away. Julia and Dodee promise to keep the secret that Joe and Norrie are connected to the dome.


Barbie and Julia kiss in the rain (aww! But Barbie killed Julia's husband!!!) Angie wakes up after being unconscious and wakes up in Big Jim's house. Junior walks in on them talking.





I admit, the ending was a bit abrupt, but the episode was amazing, nonetheless! I especially was off my seat when they killed Rose, cursing the two stupid men. Can't wait for the next one !!!!
