Some People Simply Can't Be Saved Under The Dome

One of Under The Dome's breakout stars this season, Indy the dog's real name is Cato.

Dogs need to learn their lines, too! Cato (Indy) and his trainer, Robert Scott Schweitzer, rehearse and block out the scenes just like he was any other actor on the show.

No, this isn't a new style trend from Under The Dome. To assist the visual effects team, tracking marks are placed on actors to help pinpoint areas they will enhance later. Did you think those gross purple veins were real?

• Every script is prepped and discussed before filming can start. Department heads meet to explore how to perfectly capture the director's vision for each episode.
• "Love is a Battlefield," the Pat Benatar hit, was written 13 years before Colin Ford was born.
• This week's episode was co-written by Adam Stein and Peter Calloway, who first wrote together on the last season's episode "Black Ice."
• Colin Ford pantomimed the whistling scenes along with a record audio when shooting.

Like Eva, the new queen featured some seriously gross purple veins during this week's episode. In order to enhance the look, the VFX team applied little green stickers to this adorable actress.
