Under The Dome starts on Monday, 6/24/13 on CBS.

Can't wait. The book was great.

My wife and I actually thought this was the first really good week.

Finding the apparent energy source of the dome was one of the biggest reveals in the entire series.

I think Junior is becoming more interesting. Portraying him simply as a nutjob wasn't very interesting -- but portraying him like his father, with his outward persona as a hero covering up something more sinister, makes his story more compelling.

There's probably a clue in the baby's birth and Alice's death. Perhaps the dome requires that a life be sacrificed for every new life that emerges?

Well this town is due for a baby boom then with all the deaths there's been so far! I do agree with another previous poster that the body count does seem a bit high. Who knows though maybe that's the whole point, trap a bunch of people in a dome and last person standing wins?

Well the whole thing is cheesy so yeah for that at least.

Don "sour cream? Likely not but plenty of sour grapes here" Bolton

Well, at least someone has enough propane to do so! Though once cracked, the egg's contents might multiply its contents so that the omelet will cover the entire floor of the Dome.... And is there enough cheese and sour cream for that??

I think the people are all food.
The small dome is to protect the egg until it hatches.
Then it will go away and the larger dome is to keep the people inside while the thing that grows from the egg hunts them down and eats them until it is grown.
Then the large dome will go away and it will be unleashed on the world.

LOL

Here's the definitive answer: The river is spring fed within the dome. It terminates in a lake which seeps back into ground water and evaporates into rain clouds, and the municipal water plant draws from there in varying quantities. The Dome extends far underground, but not to Moho!

:)
I think of it more as a sphere.

I agree, that is why the egg started to glow. It was not glowing before the baby or death.

Does that stuff really work? Or is it a placebo effect?
For me, the beneficial effects of 5mg of Cialis typically lasts a day and a half. I take 10 mg* of Cialis every-other night at bedtime, so I wake up feeling semi-full and ready for whatever the day may bring.

*a monthly Rx of 8-20mg tabs / 2 = 16, taken every-other day lasts 32 days

If a death has something to do with it, what about all the previous deaths ? There have been many already before the baby.

Maybe all the women in town will soon be found to be spontaneously pregnant.

Actually, maybe not-so-spontaneously would be more interesting: the dome making everyone horny, through means including showing them some "interesting" hallucinations. But I don't think they could get away with that on a broadcast network show.
