Under the Dome - Season 3 - TVLine Interview with EPs

Thanks to Daniel for the heads up.

“We will tell you why the dome came down and what it’s about,” Baer promised at a CBS summer press event on Monday. “By the end of the season, you’ll know exactly why this happened the way that it happened.”
It isn’t lost on either of the producers that quite a few plot twists were introduced last season, most notably the all-powerful egg and its connection to Melanie Cross.

But Schlattmann promised that all of those loose ends will be addressed, if not completely tied up, by the end of the upcoming season.

"Why was there 25 years to pass before the dome came down? What was in play 25 years ago that set all this in motion? That’s one of the biggies we’re going to address,” Schlattmann confirmed. “You’ll see how these puzzle pieces form a puzzle that may be different from what you thought it would be.”

One of the characters who will usher in those answers is Christine Price, an anthropologist played by CSI‘s Marg Helgenberger. Much like science teacher Rebecca, who was introduced in Season 2, Christine will come out of the woodwork as a longtime Chester’s Mill resident who is just beginning to emerge as an important figure in the dome’s mystery.

“[She’s a] new resident of Chester’s Mill, and yet [she’s] been there this whole time,” Baer said. “That’s the driving engine of this season: How is that even possible?”
