‘Under the Dome’ season 2, episode 7 preview: Barbie and tunnel vision

“Lost” has the hatch where characters went to discover new and surprising things; apparently, “Under the Dome” has the tunnel. Who knows what sort of crazy things await Barbie and Sam at the end of this?

While we still question whether or not the show still has its spark, we do have to admit that we really like this story. It gives the show a little more zing than it’s hard in a long time, and we appreciate the opportunity to get to see a little more of what could be out there in the world.

Granted, this will not be the only thing happening in this episode (entitled “In the Dark”). Based on the synopsis released by CBS, there is also going to be a continued battle for control between Big Jim and Julia:

“When Barbie and Sam set out to investigate a mysterious tunnel, a cave-in severs their path back to Chester’s Mill. Meanwhile, Julia and Big Jim face off in a struggle for power as a dust storm rages in the town.”

Some things on this show will never change, and one of them will most likely be “Under the Dome” continuing to pour on some of the same stories time and time again when it comes to Big Jim. He’s always going to want power, and we feel like so long as the show wants to be really good, they will constantly put him in a place where this power is accessible to him. Otherwise, where is the drama going to come from?
