  During WWIII the Earth was nuked. Life as we know it ceased to be possible. The only way for humanity to survive was for the thirteen space stations in orbit (all from different nations) to come together and pool their resources. Those few people in space on the Ark station were the only survivors of the global apocalypse... or so they thought. In season 1 a group of  one hundred juvenile offenders were launched from the Ark and sent to Earth, with the hope that after 97 years the planet was beginning to heal and soon the people of the Ark could return. The station was irreparably damaged, running out of air and running out of time, and desperately trying to hide this from it's inhabitants. The dropship was damaged on reentry with Earth's atmosphere, leaving the Hundred with few resources and fewer rules. And even worse - they found that they were not alone. "Grounders" began attacking the group after a series of short range rockets they had rigged as signals to the Ark that they were still alive fell into a village. As the situation on the ground grew more dire, the Ark had it's own problems in the form of a power struggle that ended with the station damaged beyond repair. The survivors in space made the difficult decision to separate and ride the various parts of the Ark down to Earth, with the hope that some of them might survive re-entry and the landing/crash. At the same time, the Hundred make a last stand at their camp against the Grounders. The 100 (The Hundred) enters it's second season with the Ark space station completely destroyed (except for the bit with Chancellor Jaha in it, of course. He is still hanging onto life, despite having a death wish for most of season 1). Clarke and Monty have been captured by the mysterious Mountain Men who inhabit Mount Weather. Octavia is injured and with Lincoln, a Grounder who fell in love with her and will do anything to protect her. Bellamy, her brother, and Finn have been presumed dead after being caught outside the dropship in the finale when Raven set off the engines to protect the members of the Hundred who were inside. Dr. Abby Griffin and Marcus Kane have survived their trip to Earth, but are completely isolated from other survivors from the Ark. The 100 airs on Wednesdays at 9pm on the CW, and begins it's second season on October 22nd. Personally, I think Jaha is going to live for-ev-er. Or that really old scotch is going to kill him.

Paige Turco looking goofy as gently caress with that lion's mane in that banner,  love her though.I'm very excited for this season. And everyone else should be; I mean, it was a midseason show and now it's airing in the fall? Isn't that Raven in the banner though?

This show is good for anyone questioning whether they should dive in. One might not expect much from a CW show, but it's fairly well plotted. The pilot had some problems, but it was able to right itself fairly quickly.

He'll probably try to crash it on purpose because he isn't dying fast enough in space, but will survive to suffer through the rest of the season. And yes, Raven, Finn, and Bellamy are all in the season two banner. So much for suspense, CW!  However, the show hasn't been squeamish on killing off characters (except the aforementioned Jaha, but he just wants it too badly) so perhaps they aren't alive and the banner is trolling us.Maybe. Edit: Teek posted:This show is good for anyone questioning whether they should dive in. One might not expect much from a CW show, but it's fairly well plotted. The pilot had some problems, but it was able to right itself fairly quickly. There is even a Season 1 recap video on the official website for newcomers who don't want to bother watching the whole season! Not that I recommend not watching season 1, because I don't...not...recommend it. It's well plotted and moves fairly quickly, so if you run into a plot point you're not a fan of, don't worry! It will be resolved probably in the next episode. They also managed to do a "love triangle" that isn't terrible. In my opinion. hollylolly fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Sep 24, 2014 |

I was surprised to see this wasn't airing tonight. I guess it gives me a bit more time to catch up as I've heard pretty much nothing but good things about this show.

As the CW has been putting out a ton of good TV the last few years. I watch more CW shows these days than any other of the broadcast networks.

I just binged through season 1 of this, (it's on Netflix Canada if you want to watch it) turns out it's a really good show. Takes a few eps to really get going but it builds nicely throughout, and the season finale really kicked it up a notch and is a genuinely awesome and exciting episode of television. The show's got a lot going for it, fantastic cast, story moves along at a good clip, cool sci-fi theme, and even the teen drama stuff is not all that bad. Really looking forward to watching season 2 about to start. I like a show which is not afraid to shake things up and completely change its premise. Funny how quickly into the show's run that the title became totally irrelevant.

New Episode Tonight The 48 (guess we have our number of survivors) Picking up where the season one finale ended, Clarke is still alone in the white room, frantically trying to make sense of her bizarre surroundings, while the fate of Bellamy, Finn and Raven is still unknown. Lincoln and Octavia's daring plan is thwarted and an enemy returns. Meanwhile, Abby, Kane and the survivors of the Ark must face physical and moral dilemmas in their dangerous and beautiful new world. Finally, Jaha makes a heroic decision. Prediction: Jaha decides to use the scotch to fuel his escape pod

Really drove home the point yea these people have been living underground for their whole lives and probably couldn't survive outside(or could they?  )

I'm betting the vaulters ( ) want/need Clarke and the gang for their genetic material/as breeding stock. They've been locked up in that vault for a hundred years, they may be at the point where everyone is related closely enough to start seeing a lot of deformities/stillborns/etc.What I want to know is what's going on with the shost baby up there with Jaha. Also this "We're here now, we'll take over and impose our idea of laws" stuff from Kane is so not going to fly.

It looks like the Mt Weather people were just another faction seeking to escape the calamity (which I'm assuming wasn't actually nuclear war) like the space station people. The grounders are probably the survivors that were forced to weather whatever actually happened without some luxurious palace fortress to ride it out in. Given what the space station ended up doing as resources got scare you can bet that the Mt people have done similar things to maintain their standard of living. Given all the cultural luxuries on display, probably the descendents of the rich and powerful who looted the world while civil society collapsed around them and billions died due to "contamination".

They got poors working the hydroponics farm, and those clothes have a fine thread count. Sweat shops/slave labour. Grounders maybe. Clarke will MacGuyver her way to become king of the Morlocks. Book it. Space camp is working for me too.

Rocksicles posted:They got poors working the hydroponics farm, and those clothes have a fine thread count. The sheer amount of luxury on display means there is a massive underclass slaving away to provide that to the privileged ones. Just the food alone means the need a massive amount of labor to harvest the basic goods, process it, refine it, cook it, etc. and none of the dozens of people stuffing their faces would've been any part of it. The "de-contamination" thing seemed weird. Was that just some basic dialysis or was the placement of the ports more significant?

Sober posted:Wouldn't be surprised if that is part of their plan. Although honestly if I were the prez I dunno why it would be that much of a bad idea to have them follow with their team seeing as they might be more familiar with the terrain and flora and fauna. Just seems a little too evil to keep them locked up. Did like the minor detail that most of the Mt. Weather people are pale as gently caress and need supplemental vitamin D. You have to wonder at the end game of the Mount Weather people. They locked themselves away and ended up becoming a crippled and deformed minority in a world ruled by the strong. The whole world could be repopulated and they really have no future in it. My guess is Clarke and her people fit into some scheme to eventually leave their confines. I just can't think of how they would do it. You'd think if it was a matter of breeding more genetically fit children they would have taken Grounders. I guess they could have been terrified of Grounders and see inexperienced kids as a safer option.

Especially because unlike Supernatural or The Vampire Diaries there aren't any supernatural elements and its just normal people dying.

Yeah during the battle she ran into the ship just as the door was closing and the kids attacked her until Clarke called them off, so she definitely was not dead. No sign of her in the premiere though.

I loved when Kane and the rest of the Arkfall (yeah, I went there) people came out all  "We're here now. It'll be all right."  So far the Mountain Men have been everything I've wanted. They are setting it up to be an interesting contrast between them and the adults from the Ark. I just hope we get some meaningful scenes where the Ark adults and the Mt Weather guys actually try and hash things out or argue who should be the true heirs to civilization. Particularly if we can get Jaha back in play to go up against the President. The contrasts and similarities between the ways both groups survived and held onto the old civilization should be interesting. And then you throw in the Grounders and it's a stew of fun culture clashes. There's a few ways they can go with Mt Weather. On the one hand, there's the "traditional" post apoc trope of "here's some surviving people calling themselves the US Govt. Turns out they are complete assholes." Or the Jeremiah route of "we're turning it on it's head--the people in the bunker really are sincere Good Guys." Or they could do something a bit different from either of those and present them as flawed, but not totally bad guys who did what they had to do in the past century but basically kept it together and mostly did the right thing. And maybe they can either present a competing or complimentary plan of action to rebuild the world vs the Ark guys. What I don't want to see is Clarke finding some fatal flaw in their world, bringing them down, and leading her people out of it's burning ruins to finally reunite with her mom, Kane and Gaeta and say "yeah, those guys were a bunch of tools." I want to see the Ark adults and the Mt Weather guys interact. I also like the idea of Clarke tilting against the windmill of thinking the Mt Weather guys are totes bad but she's actually completely wrong.  Since she's always preternaturally correct about everything I somehow doubt that will be the case.
