Under the Dome - Deputy Linda | Natalie Martinez Appreciation #1: She's the cop that will save the day! - Page 5

Love Linda. She is pretty and takes charge well.

Hi Bronson! Welcome!

I'm happy to see that Linda is beginning to take charge now. The job was dumped in her lap - by Big Jim who, I'm sure, felt he could control her - but she needed to be more assertive from early days.
She's doing much better now but should act with greater caution. Chester's Mill is no longer the safe, crime-free little town it used to be.

She needs to have a deputy she can trust accompanying her on any investigation.

Hi Bronson.

Some people were complaining about the characters being reactive instead of proactive. You can see they are starting to shift to proactive mode with all the characters. I love that Linda is finally stepping into the role of sheriff

It seems like she trusts Barbie the most out of everyone. I don't think she really considers Junior's friends as deputies. They aren't that dependable.

You are right. She doesn't need to be wondering off by herself.

I like the relationship she has with Barbie.

Barbie is really her anchor right now.

OK, Linda has finally come into her own! The revelations about Duke really opened her eyes. Her hero had feet of clay but he meant well and had his reasons, too.
I think she felt she couldn't live up to him before .. now she knows you don't have to be perfect in order to command respect.

I really like her working with Julia, they make a good team. Since she's also great with Barbie, the 3 of them should become the "Dome Squad."

1x10 was Natalie's best acting of the series so far, imo.

Linda is getting her own storyline. Before now, she was really assisting everyone else.

I like the idea of the Dome Squad. We need a Linda, Barbie and Juila scene. I don't think we have one.

Lutesse · 08-31-2013, 12:13 PM

I know, it's weird! She has paired off with both of them separately, and now they need to pool and share all the info they've gathered.

Lostcandy · 08-31-2013, 12:18 PM

Yes, Linda is completely in the dark about the dome. I didn't realize that until Neal Baer said it, but she doesn't know anything.

For me, episode 10 was about letting the characters know everything the audience knows.

I hope someone tells Julia they located the mini-dome. They really need to share info. Maybe they can get things done.
