This series is dumb.
So, goddamn dumb.
Anyone ever see the episode of South Park where Cartman visits the "studio" that produces episodes of "The Family Guy" and it's a bunch of seals in a tank picking out lotto-balls and each one has a person, place and a situation on it? Thus why the show is pretty much a constant stream of. "This reminds me of that time I met [Robert Downey, Jr.] at the [Horse and Steer Trade Show] and we [Had a Cow-Pie Eating Contest] and he [Zapped me with an Iron-Man Palm blaster]."?
I think that's sort of what's happening here. Which is why we get a SECOND priest convinced the dome has something to do with God, The Bible and/or The Rapture and taking unnecessarily aggressive action to prove his belief.
And, of course, the small-town science teacher is a science savant who can turn a radio tower into a gigantic electro-magnet inside of a couple hours under a theory she can revert the dome's sudden electro-magnetic properties.
Oh, and she's also really good at viral research in order to help hatch a plan to weed out the pending overpopulation of the town given the resources they have.
Oh and she's utterly nuts as she's totally okay with killing people who may not be contributive to the town!
Jesus, I hate her more than "Big Jim."
Thank God this show has Barbie and Julia otherwise I'm not sure I could tolerate it on even a "I like watching bad stuff" kind of way. Of course, they had to kill off cop-lady and cute young-girl chick.
But, hooray, we get to keep drably semo-goth snarky teenage around and PoorShow's Wesley Crusher.
