Under the Dome, new show in June

Tweet

While this upcoming show presents some intriguing possibilities, it also raises some questions about just how they are going to set it up. The trailers and previews show the dome just suddenly appearing so fast that a house is cut in half, an airplane crashes into the barrier it presents as does a truck. They also show a female cop or fighter inside the dome trying to talk to a firefighter, I think that was who it was, about people being hurt and needing help and he is saying he can't hear her. All this indicates a very impenetrable barrier that sound can't even get through. So if sound can't get through that means it will not vibrate and also that air does not pass through since that is what carries sound. So if air can't pass through, it seems that eventually and not all that long either, the people trapped inside will run out of oxygen. Also, since it is so impenetrable, rain probably can't pass through either which means the plant life will die and the people will run out of water perhaps even before running out of oxygen. Even if the small town gets it's water from wells eventually they will use it up since the barrier will keep water from entering to replenish the well water. They say no way out and no way in which means the water couldn't get in below ground to supply the wells because if it could then people on the outside could tunnel in. So I am wondering just how they will handle all these things so that the people trapped inside the dome will live long enough for the series to last any length of time.
