* The idea of a dome suddenly appearing over a city pops up in 1965, with Creator/CliffordSimak's ''All Flesh is Grass'', and in 1988, with Creator/RobertRMcCammon's Stinger, so it's hardly a ripoff, but truly a trope: DomedHometown.

** ''The Midwich Cuckoos'' (1957) predates both of those - although not the main focus of the story, it's how it starts.

To further facilitate the integration of the entire town into the Kinship. Christine clearly knows that it's crucial for everyone to let go of their emotions to become integrated; that's why her plans for everyone in the cocoon world involved having them move on.

[[WMG: The "Melanie" that appears in season 3 is a fake]]
After Melanie was sucked underground, the Dome created an evil clone of her, and that double took the originals place. Therefore, the real one is still missing and a future episode could have the heroes searching for her.

[[WMG: The leatherheads, TheTommyknockers and Literature/{{It}} are all members of the same alien race.]]
The dome is a product of TheTommyknockers' alien technology and the children are using it to feed on pain and fear the same way Literature/{{It}} does.

Their bodies wound up in cocoons, while their minds wound in a LotusEaterMachine representing an alternate version of Chester's Mill where the dome has fallen, and everyone who didn't make it out is dead. The illusion later starts to fall and ultimately crumbles when Big Jim smashes the egg.]]

[[WMG: The second season will have connections to Stephen King's other works.]]
* Due to the unlikelihood of a ''Dark Tower'' adaption, the Dome will have a CanonWelding moment that connects the Dome to the All World. Expect a reference or cameo of the Roland Deschain, his Kah-Tet, Randall Flagg or The Crimson King.
* The show will be revealed to be in continuity with the new ''Carrie'' film, and assuming they get a connection to the outside world, the first thing they'll hear is of the "Chamberlain Incident" and one of the characters will say something along the lines of "What did we miss out on ?"

** Well, she's certainly connected to it...



* The writers will realise they can only elongate the novel's premise for so long. The subsequent three series (providing WordOfGod still applies) will be about discovering the origins of the dome.

[[WMG: The people shocked the the appearance of Barbie on the street in Zenith...]]
They weren't shocked that he was covered in blood or injured, they were worried they may end up caught in the ridiculous plot twists of Under the Dome!
