"Blue on Blue (Under the Dome)"

"Blue on Blue" is the fifth episode of the CBS drama Under the Dome. The episode aired on July 22, 2013.

Plot

The residents of Chester's Mill receive a surprise visit from their loved ones on the other side of the dome while they brace for a threat nearing them.

Production

American journalist Jeff Glor is to play himself in this episode.[2] Brian K. Vaughan teased the plot of the episode via an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, saying "I don't want to spoil too much about the military's plan, but I can say next week's episode begins with a "visitors' day." It's finally a chance for the people trapped inside Chester's Mill, inside the dome, to talk with not just their loved ones but the rest of the free world -- what's going on, to get more information about this, if there are any more domes around the world. So far, they've been entirely cut off from the world, but now they'll start getting big answers."[3]

Dean Norris said in an interview with Zap2it regarding the dome "there's a lot more understanding of what it is, and that's part of the story that also starts really picking up in [episode 5], and really accelerates through to the end of the season, where the dome becomes a real character and the kids actually start to understand it."[4]

Andrea Reiher of Zap2it commented positively on the episode's final moments before the bomb hit the dome, saying "The montage of everyone preparing for their final moments actually had us tearing up a bit, especially Deputy Linda going to the spot where she and her husband carved their initials. Also Dodee and Phil dancing."[11]
