Ugh it's a tough one, April.

There's no good answer but honestly speaking, my gut is saying that this convention might just fall through ... there just seems to be a lot of information swirling around which are not consistent, but it does seem like they're trying their best to alleviate fan concerns right now.

When do you have to decide, at the latest?

I got Murphy!

Now, that's some irony for you. Same with Lisa.

Minefield is right

I ain't clicking on anything

I don't know if I have any advice on this

I hope you'll be happy with whatever decision you make, April

Oh JR is so excited and so proud of everyone and I for one, am loving it!

I got Octavia in the buzzfeed quiz

This should be interesting

Oh, this is so silly

destroyer of worlds · 01-14-2018, 01:46 AM

JR is.

I can't post his recent tweets here but he's been praising the cast for their commitment on-set and posting lots of BTS pictures recently.

I love doing quizzes like these.

Interesting read ... I think that the point that the author is trying to get across is that the show forces you to think about how you'd react/make decisions under high pressured situations and it's true. It's not as black and white as we'd like sometimes, and difficult/horrendous decisions need to be made at times and that's what makes the show realistic ... even if it's set in a different time/environment (as RL).

Rationality at the End of the World on The 100

One of the most engaging parts of The 100 is the situations that regular people are forced into that cause them to choose between multiple horrendous outcomes each of us will likely never face. This show has always been about surviving and the gray areas of unconscionable circumstances. As the audience, we’re usually (there are a few exceptions) able to justify the decisions of our main characters and villainize whomever seems appropriate at the time because, even though the behavior may be the same on both sides, “our people” matter more to us. Each of us has a different idea of who “our people” are as well. Is it your Kru or your family or closest friends that span clans?

I want the ridiculous fights on this show to stop. I want character moments. I’m sick of people even saying “war.” I want everyone to be rational about the situation so we, from the comfort of our recliners where we’re sipping on margaritas in the AC as we freely yell at the screen, can spend time watching our favorite characters work together and interact positively with those they love. The warring, however, is more realistic, even if it can feel like a waste of screen time. And people? People have never been rational and that won’t change when the world is ending.

Whole article here

I've mostly tried to stay away from twitter.
Are his tweets spoilery? Or explicit language?

Thanks for that article, Sarah. Will read now with my second cup of coffee

No, not really. He does post BTS pics and he jokes a lot about getting drunk and leaking the trailer

I'm sure he is just psyched and proud and wants us to see it, too

When I've made anything creative, I am also antsy and can't wait for others to see it.
But then again, I don't tweet and I don't have thousands of people waiting desperately

Sarah, re that article

Quote:

Assume our world does “end” with nuclear annihilation. [...] Assume every person on earth is eligible and choices have to be made regarding who is saved and who is not. Are you the person who’s going to decide that? Do “your people” include your own countrymen or only those closest to you? Is your interest perhaps in saving the most of “humanity?

this fits so perfectly with a discussion I had with Paula re Clarke making the list recently

I hope Paula will read this article.

Quote:

The truth is we would all likely have different reactions facing this reality than we assume because our minds have never been pushed to such limits, nor our hearts to such loss. [...] Does your perception change at all if you put yourselves in these characters’ shoes? Which ones do you love or hate now and can you be convinced to change your mind? Many of the characters can forgive each other for the most unconscionable actions because they know the person underneath. Can we say that about those whose actions seem foreign to us?

Loved that bit! So on point imo!

I got Murphy.

Just for fun I did the quiz three times with different answers each time and I still got MURPHY.

I've liked Indra's character from the beginning ... and Adina is playing her so well

Karma Police · 01-14-2018, 02:15 PM

I got Clarke in the buzzfeed test.

Hope so!

I loved that bit too, it was spot on. The article may not be the easiest to read through but there’s quite a few good points in there.

Looks like there’s a good mixture of characters that we got in the quiz.

Unity Day convention is this weekend, guys!

Glad that we will get to see the cast together again (and other conventions too) whilst waiting for the damn premiere.

April7739 · 01-14-2018, 05:39 PM

Why didn’t I just go to Unity Days? I got discouraged when Bob’s Meet and Greet sold out so quickly.

Dammit, I should have just gone. Now here I am having all this indecision about this Conaggedon thing.

destroyer of worlds · 01-14-2018, 05:41 PM

Yeah, Unity Days is more reliable I think ... a lot of people were happy about how it was organised last year and this is the one of the few conventions that almost the entire cast is going to, I think.
