‘Under the Dome’ episode 10 preview: Maxine has a plan

Did you enjoy the debut of Natalie Zea on “Under the Dome” last night? If you thought that her character was both mysterious and dangerous in it, just know that she’s not exactly done yet trying to assert her power.

It almost seems appropriate that next week’s episode would be entitled “Let the Games Begin,” giving you a bizarre dichotomy of something so life-or-death being as trivial as a simple game. The official synopsis is kinder than most that CBS chooses to hand out, mostly because it actually gives you some actual details when it comes to Julia’s storyline, and the possibility of long-awaited answers:

“Julia uncovers the truth about her husband’s disappearance and unravels some of Chester’s Mill’s darkest secrets. Meanwhile, Maxine shows Barbie how she plans to take control of the town.”

We are at least now at a point where some answers are more necessary than ever, given that there are just four episodes left this season. We understand the desire to keep some things a mystery until the next season, but if you continue to put a lock and key on everything, you run the risk of people throwing your show under a dome and never looking at it again.

As for the promo below, there’s only one question that we have to ask: Since when has a series of random fights between people ever turned out to be a good idea? Also, it is nice to have another reminder of just how little time has actually passed since the show began.
