I really hope that you can go, Adie.
In case you still prefer not to drive, is there any convention that you can take a plane to?
An earlier article on The 100
(April, your tweet made it here!) :
Quote:
Beginning 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse destroyed life on Earth, The 100 follows the story of humanity’s last remaining survivors, orbiting the irradiated planet in a space station that is quickly running out of resources. Driven by their desperation to survive, the decision is made to send a hundred juvenile delinquents down to the Earth’s surface to determine whether it is habitable. The delinquents find out that not only is the Earth habitable, it’s inhabited — by a warrior tribe who view the newcomers as threats to their land.
Humanity’s desperation to survive is the driving force behind much of the series, as the heroes make riskier and harder decisions in the name of survival, always at the risk of losing themselves. While the series starts as a teen drama reminiscent of Lord of the Flies, it quickly evolves into something much darker, more complicated, and heavier, where every decision has consequences that often cause a domino effect that echoes throughout the seasons.
It’s the characters and the relationships they forge with each other that are this show’s greatest strength: an artistic teenaged healer who will stop at nothing in the name of saving her people; a self-centred rebel king who comes to seek his own redemption through the protection of his family — both blood and found; a young zero-G mechanic who goes through more loss than anyone and yet contains a steely inner strength that allows her to carry not only herself, but everyone else, as well.
There is no right or wrong in this show, or good and bad; only the question of what one will do in the name of survival — whether that’s survival of self or survival of the species — and the point at which the scales tip so far that the cost of survival is no longer possible to bear.
