Under the Dome: Season Two Episode One

Under the Dome came back full force with it's season two premiere, written by none other than Stephen King himself.

I have been waiting excitedly for season two of Under the Dome to begin and I wasn't disappointed. The characters were just as great as I had remembered and the story just as mysterious.

The premiere episode picked up right where season one left off; with Big Jim (Dean Norris) and Junior (Alexander koch) about to hang Dale "Barbie" Barbara (Mike Vogel) for murders that he didn't commit. Luckily for Barbie the dome begins to put out a pulse that causes half of the town to pass out and begins to send all metal objects hurling towards the dome. Predictably this causes a lot of problem for the people of Chester's Mill and everyone who hasn't been affected by the dome goes to investigate. throughout the episode we are introduced to new characters who will undoubtedly add  more drama to the series.

With the addition of some new characters there seems to be even a lot of secrecy and questions that surround them. There are three new characters that are introduced in the season two premiere including; Sam Verdreaux (Eddie Cahill) a former paramedic who we later find out is Junior's uncle presumably on his mother's side. There is also Rebecca Pine (Karla Crome) a science teacher who is trying to find logical explanations as to why the dome is covering her town and affecting everyone. Lastly we have a mysterious girl that Julia Shumway (Rachelle Lafevre) rescues from the lake. Not much is known about this girl so her whole character is a complete mystery.

SPOILERS
This show is no stranger to killing off characters and with Stephen King penning this episode I knew there was definitely going to be some bloodshed. Despite suspecting that there were going to be some major deaths this episode I was still shocked when Sheriff Linda (Natalie Martinez) was killed a mere five minutes in to the episode. An equally shocking death was that of Angie McAlister (Britt Robertson) who seemed to have been killed with an axe by the mysterious girl from the lake. While death is expected in television it's always hard to see interesting characters that had a lot of potential go. Here's hoping that through T.V. magic we get to see them again, after all Junior's supposedly dead mother is apparently still alive and kicking.
