Lycus posted:Just to move my complaining over here from the chat thread: It seems like a century on a space station would be plenty of time for accents to homogenize. It only makes sense that English speaking North American is the default accent because it is a North American English language show. At least this way we are spared dozens of iterations of terrible fake Scottish accents to go along with Cusick's real one, as entertaining as that would be from a certain point of view. And, yes, I think the plan was to bring back enough dry goods for a couple days, to tide them over and as proof that Mount Whatever is the place to be. Divvied up between the smaller group that wouldn't be too too bad assuming at least a portion is freeze-dried. Joke's on them if it's all canned.

^^^ I liked it, too, for those reasons. It added complexity to the brother sister relationship which was pretty bland.Ravane posted:I don't know if you're trolling, but  Sober posted:Eh, it's on the CW, so I'll allow it for the first season. I get the feeling it might be mandated. I mean, Nikita had one early on and then it got unceremoniously dropped. Arrow had some of that weirdness as well but now they barely focus on it. edit: Clark, Cliff, whatever.

hollylolly posted:Also I thought the Grounder's cave was really interesting. It looked like it was full of old earth artifacts (like in Oblivion[movie]how Tom Cruise's character collected all the books and records and things). Like maybe part of their culture remembers but mostly it's MurderDeath all the time, and he happens to like to hoard interesting things, like girls who fall down hills and hit their heads.

Party Plane Jones posted:The Ark is probably a lashed together amalgamation of commercial space stations that had enough fuel to meet up. The second you could hand wave pretty easily with just having a bunch of books available for reading before they launched during their jail time, it's not like ebooks take up space. The show mentioned the cobbling together of existing space stations in the pilot, I think. Also at least one character (Chancellor's son?) talked about Earth Skills as if it should be capitalized like an elective class.

Azhais posted:Multiple kids have referred to their Earth Skills classes I know. It was also an episode title. I was just trying to phrase it gently, not in a bitchy, "Did you loving even watch the show," way. bull3964 posted:What I'm not sure I buy is how devolved the 'grounders' appear to be. 100 years can be as few as 3 generations in some instances. It's conceivable that someone alive now may have known someone who was alive before this disaster. It also stands to reason that the only people who survived on the surface were those hunkered down in some government bunker somewhere, so there would have been even less reason for a completely collapse of societal norms. I've been asking myself the same question. I'm curious to see how "feral" they really are and if the explanation makes even one lick of sense. Hopefully the grounders will not all speak Spanish or something.

Sober posted:I think that was true for the first half. And then he got the rug pulled out from under him. Remember, he used to be an altar boy (or whatever that kooky tree watering religion his mother and he was formerly of). So he abandoned what was essentially "faith" and initially we see him trying to make everything about hard numbers in regards to survival. I think he was kinda pissed he didn't know about the 100 (not sure if I remember this correctly). He was always pushing the issue about the culling to keep everyone going and thought, just like most people who knew about the 100, that dumping the 100 onto the ground at most bought them a month of air and they were probably all dead anyway without something more extreme or perhaps calculated. I really like his character's progression. They did something similar with Bellamy in terms of revealing his apparent mustache twirling to be human and believable. It contrasts with the straight up psychotic rear end in a top hat characters like ex-Chancellor lady from out of left-field and Murphy. On the Jaha side of things, did anyone else find it strange that the stuff between him and Abby was never developed? I wondered if it is because they decided to kill Jaha and didn't want to distract from or cheapen that self-sacrifice (it was just for his twoo luv not the good of all his people) or if the intent was to develop it later because they plan to keep him alive.
