But that doesn't look like where Jaha landed, there were no buildings and stuff there. It's weird.

Oh, that's true.

Well, I have no clue.

Stumbled upon this nice old article on the show ... I think that some points are probably more accurate prior to 3X07 and 3X09 (since this was written up before that too) but still a lot of relevant points regarding this show:

11 Times 'The 100' Was More Progressive About Race, Gender, & Sexuality Than Many Shows Out There

Since its release in 2014, The CW's The 100 has been lauded as a feminist show. The series depicts women as heroes, villains, leaders, and rebels, and it doesn't shy away from putting them in the spotlight. Gender roles aren't the only thing the show gets right, however. The 100 treats race, gender, and sexuality more delicately than a lot of primetime TV shows, and it gets the subjects right time after time.

On a medium as pervasive as television, how the teams behind shows choose to write their characters and their stories means more than just making good plot choices. It means making conscious decisions about what kind of characters they want viewers to idolize and villainize, and what kind of social norms they want to incorporate or disregard. The 100 has the unique opportunity of writing in an almost entirely new world, since the show takes place in a dystopic version of earth, which allows the writers to bend some rules and throw others right out the window. While many shows in the industry are still struggling with diversity on all fronts, The 100 continues to break down and blow past barriers each week that hold back most other shows. Here are 11 times The 100 excelled on the diversity, race, and sexuality fronts.

that was a great article, thank for sharing, Sarah.
I loved all the points and this one in particular:

Quote:

In the recent Season 3 premiere, it’s revealed that Miller had a boyfriend, and it’s given all the pomp and circumstance of announcing he’s wearing shoes.

The fact that they show but not focus on it as the plot, is what I love

point 11. has been made moot by the Ontari/Murphy rape though

Damocles · 02-12-2018, 08:31 PM

Ugh yeah, I keep forgetting about that

girl under the floor · 02-14-2018, 01:22 AM

I like that article! Thanks for sharing!

CanIcallYouKate · 02-14-2018, 12:41 PM

what are we discussing in here when they won't give us a trailer already

Damocles · 02-14-2018, 08:54 PM

We are grasping for straws

CanIcallYouKate · 02-16-2018, 11:52 PM

we totally are

we could find plot holes to discuss

girl under the floor · 02-17-2018, 01:56 AM

Go look for them Kate!

destroyer of worlds · 02-17-2018, 05:34 AM

Yup, we just need new things to discuss. We're good in that but it's tough when we've probably discussed everything under the sun by now.

Same.

I do find it interesting that the article writer talked about a Clarke/Bellamy/Finn love triangle because I felt that it was moreso the Clarke/Finn/Raven triangle that seemed possible but was quashed quite early on.

I really love numbers 3, 5 and 9 on the list too.

Damocles · 02-17-2018, 07:36 PM

Yes go look for them Kate! Then we can discuss

CanIcallYouKate · 02-18-2018, 01:50 AM

ahaha, are you sure?
I feel mean for picking apart the show

Ok, so riddle me this.

The jamming signal crashed the exodus ship (with that snake Sidney and her minions on board), but it did nothing to the Ark landing. It blocks communication with the Ark but not the walkies (they kinda addressed it by having Raven say that the closer to the source it is blocking the walkies, too but that is just lazy).

I came across more plot holes in season 1 (which I've just rewatched) but I kinda forgot again

Damocles · 02-18-2018, 07:14 PM

I love picking it apart! It seems to be all I do when new episodes air

(sorry, guys)

Kate, I never even thought about that before

A though experiment on Pike and the soldiers sent to protect Arkadia during season 3

Let's say you have a drug addict in your family, his saying he has quit doing drugs but he has said that a million times and lied, this time it's for real can you really be blamed for not beliveing him?

Damocles · 02-22-2018, 07:49 AM

Mmmm not sure if you can make that comparison, it's not so much "crying wolf" in Pike's situation, it's more "these people have consistently attacked and murdered our people and I don't trust them whatsoever".

adam23089 · 02-22-2018, 08:08 AM

I'm talking about mount weahter, how can they thrust her after that?
