The 100

[AntiArbitrator]

"I AM Become Death" was an episode full of tragedies. I was hoping someone from the space station would survive the crash, but that does not seem to be the case. There was no flashback to the station to explain what happened.

The disease that Murphy brought into camp certainly infected people quickly and spread. Fourteen of the teenagers died from it. Although Murphy is a villain, I do think the grounders tortured and then released him so he would infect everyone. 

Clarke keeps disagreeing with Bellamy but I think he has the better ideas when it comes to protecting the group. For instance, Murphy cannot be trusted and will kill Bellamy and probably Clarke if he gets an opportunity.

Poor Raven...Finn has broken her heart even though he did not intend to do it. She did an excellent job in preparing the bomb and Jasper surprised me when he finally hit it so it would explode.

The adults were afraid the children would not survive the earth's atmosphere but the young people and grounders have caused more deaths than the atmosphere...a lot more deaths.

That date needs to be fixed.

The virus couldn't have been all that bad or the entire group would have died and the series would have had no reason to continue. But it was pretty bad while it was happening.

That is such a beautiful place where they are. I hope the area of the crash didn't look as pretty as everything else to begin with.

There are thousands of people left on The Ark. Why are we not hearing from them?

I feel bad for Clarke, unless we somehow find out her mother wasn't on that ship. But why aren't they telling us?

It made me nervous when they couldn't get that bomb to go off, or when it seemed like it might go off by accident.

1.11 The Calm

New (May 28, 2014)

During a hunt for food, Finn and Clarke end up in a compromising position.

[AntiArbitrator]

Clarke and Finn’s “compromising position” was not what I was expecting.


An unfamiliar boy volunteers to go hunting with Clarke – is there anyone who did not think his hours were numbered?


When Raven propositioned Bellamy, he hesitated and I thought he might turn her down until he told her if she wanted someone to tell her that she should not do that, he was “not that guy”. He was honest. Then Raven was so cold when she responded “No” when Bellamy asked if the sex helped. Now that is the type of honesty that is not good for a man’s ego.



The warrior princess’ request to save the girl seemed reasonable and she gave Clarke and Finn an opportunity to save their lives, but she would not have released them. I think Clarke was brave and clever when she thought of a way to escape. I did not expect her to kill the man and I do not think the warrior princess will be lenient next time she gets her hands on Clarke. I wonder how Finn will get away.



I am glad they showed us what is happening on the space station. That pod did a lot more damage than I anticipated. Those people were foolish to launch the ship if it would do so much damage. Kane is suffering from guilt and is trying to save as many people as he can. In view of the damage to the station and the fact that only 700 people could have gone to earth, the 300 who were floated (or some of them) would probably have died anyway.



So now there are three people missing and one gravely injured. And the grounders are ready to attack.

I'd better not read. I chose to watch "Crisis" last night. I'm watching very little TV these days so I can catch up on my newspapers.

It's amazing the way these kids can do everything and run everything.

Wikipedia is the same way. You would think it is run by a central authority, but they just got it started, like the crew of The Ark.

We are all volunteers and it works.

[KyleEl]

I was so relieved to see people still alive on The Ark but I'm really confused. I don't understand how that ship taking off could have caused so much damage.

The leader of the Grounders sure is pretty. I feel like I know her from somewhere but I looked her up and, while there were some beautiful photos of her, she hasn't been in anything I would have watched.

I'm amazed at what Clarke can do but even she couldn't help and it wasn't right to kill Finn. I hope that doesn't end up happening.

Raven sure looks good from the back.

1.12 We Are Grounders -- Part 1

New (06/04/2014, 9:00PM Wed)  

Finn and Clarke encounter a new enemy; Bellamy tries to save Jasper; Murphy finally gets revenge.

[AntiArbitrator]

"Grounders" was an exciting episode. I enjoyed the scenes that showed us what was happening on the Ark. It seemed like they were doomed and needed to work on acceptance. However, they might still have a chance to save themselves. 

During the previously on The 100 clips, I did hear the engineer say that the shuttle was still tied into the Ark's system and if it was launched, everyone on the Ark would be killed. I missed that during the episode.

Murphy is so full of hate and he killed another sick kid. Bellamy was almost a goner, but Raven and Jasper were able to help. I think the grounders will capture Murphy again.

I thought it was Finn behind the grounder's mask, but it was not. Clarke and Finn ran into a lot of trouble while hunting for food. Those wraiths must be bad news since the grounders avoid confronting them. 

I think the kids will be in just as much trouble in the woods as they are in the camp.

[KyleEl]

I'm glad the people in the ark have a chance. It doesn't sound like much of one.

It looked like there was no hope for the kids, but maybe if they stay where they are it'll work out.

We Are Grounders--Part II" (June 11, 2014) S1 Finale

I have seen some good season finales this year and The 100 was as good as any of them and probably more exciting. There was action and drama and then more action. There were some unexpected moments that were well played. There was even a moment when tears came to my eyes because of an unanticipated and sad self-sacrifice.

There were many heroic moments by the children, the adults, Lincoln and other grounder(s). I guess we can give the grounders credit for bravery in spite of their intention to kill the children.

Although Clarke and Bellamy have opposing views on how to defend their people, the kids listen to both of them and sometimes the choices are difficult to make. This time, they chose to follow Clarke and leave the camp, but that lead to a death almost immediately. They had to return to the pod and defend it and Raven’s injury caused her to not finish setting the mines and other traps. Jasper continues to surprise me with his resourcefulness and he ignited the explosion that destroyed their enemies. In the beginning, he seemed like a love-struck kid, but he has suffered tremendously and still shown bravery and an ability to work under pressure. Kudos for Jasper.

Bellamy, Octavia and Lincoln had a dramatic scene together in which Octavia finally showed compassion and love for her brother. Lincoln has been their strongest ally and has suffered greatly because of his love for Octavia. There is no accounting for taste. I hope he gets a happy ending.

Finn continued his heroics by running back to Lincoln’s cave to get medicine for Raven. Let’s remember they were surrounded by hostiles. However, Finn and Lincoln led the Reavers back to camp knowing they would fight the grounders which would give the kids more time to prepare their defense.

One of the ships that carried the adults from the Ark landed safely. I thought it was strange that Abby exited the ship and stood alone for a long time before anyone else came out. I think they would all be too excited to see earth to stay inside the ship.

My questions:

Is Finn dead? It looked like Tristan was going to stab him. If not, wouldn’t the blast have killed him?

Is Bellamy dead? I was not sure if he was the one who was stabbed while lying on the ground.

Are the mountain people ones who were not affected by radiation? They had modern equipment.

What will the mountain people do with the grounder princess?


I am very pleased with the finale and they gave me a catch-phrase I can use for the series.

[KyleEl]

Still haven't seen it. I am trying not to watch TV.

[AntiArbitrator]

Okay. I think you will enjoy it.

There were parts of it I enjoyed. Certainly watching the people on The Ark come back to Earth. It was hard to see the one man who is supposedly in charge who we knew couldn't live.

It's absolutely beautiful where they came down. I'm going to the North Carolina mountains tomorrow but I don't see anything like that where I go.

Now the kids are another matter. Way too violent. I didn't enjoy that too much.

I'm just glad this is coming back and we can get more answers.

Assuming the real person always tells the truth on "To Tell the Truth", the creator of Dothraki on "Game of Thrones" created languages used on this show.

Also, Anya was on "Supergirl".
