started this series yesterday, partly because the pictures of how wild it gets in later seasons in this thread's op. good op, op all the principals are a little ridiculously good-looking, and i'm actively rooting against almost everyone but octavia and linc(q?)oln. death to the settler-colonialist sky bitches

it was pretty funny seeing the Man from Z Nation show up in a show that also features Mt. Weather as a major setting preeeeety disappointed the rest of the space pricks made it down though, was looking forward to seeing them die in orbit

i'm in the back 1/4 of Season 2 now, and I see what y'all are saying about Kane. He's come along way from being the sky bitch top cop does clarke's mom ever make a similar u-turn or does she stay terrible? i will not consider 'she dies' a spoiler, but please don't tell me the reason, i'd like to enjoy that to the fullest e: and are Jasper and Monty seriously not a couple? between the Masper ref in the op and them sharing a tent in S1 i just took it for granted that Jasper was bi and Monty was gay and they were shacking up like everyone else in the first 100. them playing Jasper as straight and him and monty as 'just close friends' in S2 threw me for a loop 1994 Toyota Celica fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Mar 29, 2018 |

Astroman posted:Now keep an eye on Murphy, who is the Best Character In The Show, and Jaha, who is loving insane. I'm in very early S3 and i'm starting to come around to that first position, yeah. That was a quality freakout while he was trapped underground for three months. Jaha's been clearly insane since the incident with the 'last baby on the ark' though.

pretty disappointed to see Bellamy revert to his S1 ways as soon as he's presented with a male role model as obviously dumb and belligerent as he was back then the sky bitches must be genetically predisposed to falling to fascism at the first opportunity, after culling anyone who stepped out of line on the ark for 97 years i already know from glancing at wikis that pike kills lincoln, i just hope his comeuppance for that is righteous and visceral e: and christ almighty is clarke's mom the worst post apocalyptic leader on television. never thought somebody would take that crown from Rick on Walking Dead, but here we are

finished s4 late last night. really enjoyed the breakdown of all the societies we'd gotten to know in the face of apocalypse. impressed by how different each successive season was, though certain notes (people getting shot just as they're about to stab someone else; clarkemom making terrible terrible choices) certainly get replayed again and again. the polis stuff got a little hokey when lexa was in charge, but as all that started to unravel in the face of coups, the breaking of the line of commanders etc. it got very interesting again. count me in for more warlady sky rippa, whenever and however the vault dwellers dig their way out. murphy and emori are the protagonists of this story in my book though

she's the ice nation woman who kicked octavia off a cliff that one time. she slipped into the last Conclave to try and skew things in favor of Roan, was banished when he confronted her, encountered the crew who went back to the Ark ring on their way to ALIE's island, and now six year's later she's NeoSkykru sleeping with Bellamy can't remember her name for the life of me but she's had a wild ride e: and all the clarke time will be justified when we spend the next episode with Warlady Sky Rippa, her vizier Jaha, and the increasingly insane survivors trapped in that bunker an extra year and a half

Acacia REI posted:Giving the Grounders such a disproportionate representation in the bunker over Skaikru we are all grounders real talk if there'd stayed 400 skaikru in the bunker, plus ~800 from the other 11 clans, there would've been an open civil war between skaikru and the rest long before it was even safe for the bunker to open. there would've been far too clear a demarcation between skaikru and everyone else making skaikru's allotment proportionate to the the other clans was the only chance for the group sharing the bunker to avoid slaughtering each other outright. happily, it was also the most just choice the sky rippa will be a leader beyond the dreams of the commanders

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Because they have actual worthwhile skills and understand how to maintain the bunker which will be critical to their survival for the next 5 years. So yea unironically gently caress the grounders. Or are you seriously suggesting they should kick a real doctor / engineer / technician out and let in one of their healers / builders because it's the same thing? if a second string guard bro with no notable technical skills like miller was on clarke's list of 100 (and he was, since we see him pulled away in the second cull) then skaikru's doctors and engineers were already accounted for. next

octavia is exactly the warrior empress wonkru needs what she's accomplishing here is glorious, genuine cultural syncretism she's ishtar embodied, right down to the dead tammuz-husband, founding an empire in the underworld, i can't get enough may she feed those tech'd up old worlders from the gagarin their intestines, and the nightbloods too if they object

Elias_Maluco posted:Its amazing that those people who built the bunker prepared for everything but never considered the possibility that a nuclear apocalypse could make that huge rear end building collapse above the one and only entrance well that building did survive one nuclear apocalypse pretty well, it just wasn't up to a second one a hundred years later

ALIE didn't even really predict the praimfaya (love that word) too far out, she just detected the first nuclear plant cook-offs and did the math she would've been powerless to do anything about it too if Jaha descending from the ring hadn't given her a source of juice to go mobile with

from what Jasper said and did cyber-Vancouver was really nice. he had a dang triple-scoop strawberry ice cream cone when Clarke spied him there and i expect ALIE's longer-term plan lay along the lines of using facilities at the island or in space to vat-grow a fresh human race after the praimfaya, one where everyone gets the Key at birth. for all we know taking the Key uploaded each citizen's genetic code along with their minds to the City of Light, it might've been possible for ALIE to place everyone who joined in new, perfected versions of their old bodies if they liked. then Clarke ruined it all, naturally

i really want octavia to either feed clarke her own face or step down gracefully once some sort of modus vivendi is reached with gagarinkru, but i've got a terrible feeling this ends with clarke or bellamy (or both) having to kill her probably soon after octavia kills echo

diyoza's not the only woman in gagarinkru, at least one of the skinheads in the prisoner files Raven and Murphy paged through was female their population's probably a lot more slanted gender-wise than wonkru though

it just occurred to me that even with the losses of the Dark Year (which I assume to be the first year after they exceeded the 5-year span the bunker was supposed to carry them through), Octavia's insistence that every component clan of Wonkru send 100 into the vault still saved roughly double the ~400 people Jaha was willing to save by sealing up Skaikru alone down there Bloodreina saved more lives through the Final Conclave and the blood pit than Wanheda took at Mt. Weather

Vermain posted:I did have a giggle at those xenomorph worms, though. The killer death wave wiped out every living thing except for the loving parasitic worms living at the bottom of the ocean floor, eh? oh i think it's far worse than that those worms could just be the larval stage of that gigantic carnivorous lamprey that attacked Murphy and Jaha's boat on the first trip to ALIE's island. which may now be warped into a shark-sized sand lamprey, given how this show treats nuclear apocalypse like a wild and lethal sort of magic there could be all manner of terrible creatures already warped by a hundred years of life and reproduction after the first nuclear war, mutated even further by praimfaya speaking of weird monsters, last season when the nightblood serum crew ventured to ALIE's island and was set upon by those gun drones, Emori said some vague stuff about there being far worse things than the drones lurking around the island, the same things the drones were actually intended to defend against. i wonder if we're going to find out what she meant by that, since post-praimfaya mutant weirdness is now definitely on the table

Madi made the right call, everybody is underestimating Octavia. And Octavia was right to have death botanist shoot the people who would desert Wonkru for the neo sky bitch imperialists Kane becoming a straight up traitor to his people, becoming Diyoza's Kissinger and hapless sexual conquest, is pretty hilarious

murph and emori are probably my favs on the cast since lincoln was killed, i liked how believable their falling-out on the ring was, i liked how in-character their reunification was. hopefully this means an eventual return of the murphy and emori who were whispering in each others' ears and so confident in their bond during that scene between them and clarke in the becca-bunker kitchen
