Dome Is Where the Heart Is

Talk about being torn between two lovers! Ever since the folks of Chester's Mill emerged from their yearlong cocoon at the beginning of Season 3, Cupid has had a bit of a multiple personality when it comes to local hero Barbie (Mike Vogel). Convinced that the supposed death of girlfriend Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) and the implanted memories of his faux-mance with Aktaion Energy Corp. lackey Eva (Kylie Bunbury) were real, Barbie has found himself emotionally ricocheting between his ex and the newbie he thinks is his soul mate.

"Eva accepts his darkness, which was something he always hid from Julia," says executive producer Tim Schlattmann, who adds that Eva's allegiance to mysterious newcomer Christine Price (Marg Helgenberger) makes things even trickier. "She has been taken over by Christine and her followers, the Kinship," he explains of the mind games that have been played on both Barbie and the previously good-intentioned Eva. "She is as much a pawn in it all as he is." But why? And does this mean fans should give up hope for a Barbie-Julia reunion? "Now that Julia has become more of a realist, she and Barbie are going to have to deal with the fact that they have not known each other for very long, and that could mean realizing they're not meant for each other after all," Schlattmann says. "But Julia won't give up on him without a fight!"

And not just some sort of catfight, either: With Eva now carrying Barbie's baby (a child destined to one day rule the Kinship), half the town under the influence of that freaky glowing goo and the head of Aktaion, Hektor Martin (Eriq LaSalle), entering the dome with soldiers, Chester's Mill could be in for a battle royal. "The fate of the citizens and the dome will be decided this season," Schlattmann says. "Both sides of this war—the Kinship and the Resistance—will suffer some brutal losses."

Not surprising. Rumors during season 1 was that it was planned as a 3 season thing. And back then it was said Steven King had already read the script for what was to be the series finale.

(putting it in spoiler tags since it does give the episode description for the finale)

Under the Dome End Date Set, Series Finale to Air Sept. 10


It’s three and done for Dome.
CBS announced Monday that Under the Dome will not be back for Season 4, meaning the Sept. 10 Season 3 finale will now be a series finale. And the network is promising closure.

“In the series finale, when the Dome comes down, many questions about its origin and power will be answered,” per the episode’s just-released logline, “as two groups of residents engage in one final conflict that some won’t survive.”
Under the Dome opened in June 2013 with a boffo 13.5 million total viewers, and by its freshman finale was still pulling 12.1 mil. Season 2 averaged 7.2 million weekly viewers, while its current run — airing Thursdays versus Mondays — hasn’t come close to even 6.5 million viewers. At last tally, it drew 4.6 mil with a 0.9 demo rating, after hitting series lows.

“Two years ago, Under the Dome broke new ground in the summer and became an instant hit on CBS, as well as with viewers around the world,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment, in a statement. “Dome’s event storytelling and multi-platform business model paved the way for more original summer programming with the successful rollouts of Extant and Zoo. We’re excited to present the final chapter in Chester’s Mill as the story comes full circle, with the Dome coming down as dramatically as it went up.”

Also, Big Jim tries to manage the increasingly volatile Hektor (Eriq La Salle), who is adamant that infected townspeople never escape the Dome, on UNDER THE DOME, Thursday, Sept. 3 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.
