ZOMG! I so loved it! My friends and I were talking about it Monday night (after it aired for me on the West Coast), last night, and a bit today.

We called all the characters by who they are.

I don't trust the Councilman or jealous!creepy! boyfriend...and was surprised to find out they're father and son! I so want Barbie to kick jealous!creepy! boyfriend's ass to save the candy striper girlfriend

Loved the plane crash scene, if only to yell at that boy just standing there staring at it as it was falling down around him. Loved the cow splitting scene. that was cool.

Barbie. ha! What's his "real" name...and when is Journalist Lady going to find out he killed her husband?

I loved the bi-racial lesbian couple and their daughter. as well as the sheriff (damn is he really gone?!)

what did the 2 teens that had the seizure babble? it was something about falling stars? I didn't get it all. And I wonder if what they said has anything to do with the Dome.

interesting things it took me 3 days to realize: natalie martinez and aisha hinds were in Detroit 1-8-7 together. Aisha played Lt. Maureen Mason on 187 and she's the black lady in the bi-racial lesbian couple on Dome and Natalie played Det. Ariana Sanchez on 187 and is Dep. Linda on Dome.

I'll be tuning in next week for sure!

I like your character names - LOL!

The sheriff surprised me. Although he struggled as the dome went up, so something obviously interfered with his pacemaker. Still, the thing exploding in his chest was startling and makes me worry about that Councilman dude because HE HAS PLANS and with the sheriff out of the way....

I forgot to say that I thought the Councilman was the one who shot the sheriff bc he was about to tell Linda that something hinky was going on...but he was too close to the dome wall so there wasn't enough room for him to have been shot from the front.
