Storm. Finally back on track with a strong episode where lots happens. Many clever moments, and the reward of seeing different story strands begin to converge. (Really happy to see the Max storyline concluded. She reminded me of Nikki and Paulo on Lost.) 9/10
Review of: Dean Norris, Lost, Mike Vogel, Natalie Zea, Nikki and Paulo, Under The Dome
Mare Winningham. All the scenes with new character Max mar an otherwise strong episode. She seems like a totally necessary/artificial addition to the mythology of the series. A way to create some false drama/tension in the short term, while the main story ramps up. And speaking of the main story: there are many good scenes this time, with the group of kids finally finding their fourth hand. Very, very satisfying. And I was impressed with the way they ended the whole Barbie/Peter thing with a revelation that takes the moral burden off Barbie and keeps him heroic. 8/10
Review of: Mare Winningham, Mike Vogel, Under The Dome
Quite a few familiar faces in the Under The Dome cast. I think Koch is the only one I haven’t seen before. And most of them I’ve really, really liked in whatever they did before. Bodes well.
