Topic: The 100
The 100
100 years in the future Earth has been abandoned due to radioactivity. The last surviving humans live on an ark orbiting the planet - but the ark won't last forever. So the repressive regime picks 100 expendable juvenile delinquents to send down to Earth to see if the planet is still habitable. So dumb.

Ugh, so boring I couldn't even force myself to watch it more than halfway through. Awful acting, awful characters, boring premise.

Re: The 100
Shows promise. Sort of Lost meets Lord of the Flies. At least the SF angle is admitted here. I'll give it a few eps to see how it shakes out.

Re: The 100
It started a little fun and a lot stupid but then became AWESOME when that douchebag took a spear to the chest. Hopefully all these idiots will fall victim to postapocalyptic cavemen.

Re: The 100
Yeah, like Lost but with an entire planet to explore rather than just an island. And the "outside world" is not just the old folks in orbit, but whatever survived undetected on earth that was able to hang onto some high tech. All sorts of possibilities, plus annoying teenagers to kill off.

Re: The 100
Thanks for the comments. Not going to bother with this one (well, to be fair I wasn't going to anyway, because I generally don't like shows focused on stupid teenage characters ).

Re: The 100
Well, that's expected from a CW show... like you could expect a soap opera from ABC or a show with boobs from Showtime. I rarely check CW pilot these days... last one was The Originals and it was horrible.

Re: The 100
I dont get this, why killing people? why not make the punishment "send them to earth" this show is not really smart written.. how hard could it be to find out if you could live on earth or not. they have made a huge space ship with all the humans, but they can not make a probe or something no connections with earth, its to stupid.. and that guy willing to kill the human race because he is an egoist, and only think about himself..

Yeah, this show has a lot of stupid stuff happening and that has to be some kind of record in egoism. Also this show does the typical "kill everybody except those who really needs to be killed" thing. All problems in this show could be solved if they killed the wanna-be "president" guy on the space station, and Bellamy and that guy with the annoying face and attitude that was cast out from the group. Kill these three people and all problem gets solved. Whatever, i can not stop watching though, it is kind of fun if maybe a little to dark and serious sometimes. Also odd that people are so into having lots of random sex with everybody eventhough a pregnancy or a child would probably not be that fun under these conditions. I would guess they do not have a lot of condoms and pills?

Re: The 100
Hm, if you see past the obvious douchebag behavior on some of the characters, it's actually a good watch. Some really good character building and, some unexpected events, made it entertaining enough for me

Re: The 100
Agreed. While there is still a lot of the usual stupidity and plot holes found in science fiction shows the writers handle it well and the cast and directors have been doing a decent job. There are interesting elements, like how the grounders evaded detection from space and how the grounders survived at all. There is also a lot of potential drama in how the orbiting survivors are going all get down in one piece (and how several thousand of them survived up there for nearly a century, but that another subject in itself). One can only hope that The 100 won't go the way of Lost and generate far more questions than answers. Or end as stupidly as BSG.

Re: The 100
I have lost faith in solid plot without any holes in it on television these days tbh. Still watching this one though.

Re: The 100
Plot holes are ok, especially in a wannabe SciFy show. But this show sets a new low for me. Production value seems ok (at least for one and a half episode, then I had to turn off this show). Stupid teenage drama set in a complex orbit society makes no sense. This show is nether BSG nor Lost. I hope there aren't enough stupid teenagers around to watch this.

Re: The 100
So far this season, this has turned into one of the best shows on tv. Personally, I am enjoying it alot more than most other shows on now.

Re: The 100
They amped up the pace this season and dialed back on the soap. That was apparently in response to comments about last season. Nice to know someone is paying attention.

Re: The 100
So i'm catching up on my backcatalogue of shows atm which i collect but only watch when i have more time or my other shows are on a break. So i started watching season 2 of The 100 a few days ago and i can only say...wow. It is very entertaining, i watched the 8 episodes in 2 sittings and holy cow, can't wait for the next episodes.

Re: The 100
I watched this season 1 a few episodes and got annoyed as many others but thought the ratings on various places must come from somewhere. So I decided to re-watch and almost gave up due to some really stupid scenes which I hope is due to bad writing/directing. But I was suprised how they progressed and for now will continue to watch but still some actors needs to get killed.
