Time for us all to get ready for the CW's new #1 show to start airing this wednesday

[King Gizzard]

Looks the same as that Revolution where it looks like it will be good at the start then drags the **** out

[BigSister]

Im giving it a chance because theres a lot of my fave actors in it

[Novo]

The Cw shows are getting much better, the writing for Arrow is as good as any show on TV at the minute

[michael21]

the girl look hot count me in when does this start

[arista]

Will be on E4HD soon in the UK

[Lewis.]

This looks good! Been looking for a new TV show, just started Homeland but I think I'll watch this too!

[Locke.]

Premiered last night to strong ratings. A high 0.9 in the 18-49 bracket (higher than Arrow which was its lead in) and 2.66 million overall

[Novo]

Doesn't seem that good considering TVD hit 5 mil on the Pilot and Arrow got 4 Mil

[lostalex]

I remember when the CW used to be called the WB (warner bros.). It's still a half-ass network. I'm not expecting much.

[King Gizzard]

Premiered last night to strong ratings. A high 0.9 in the 18-49 bracket (higher than Arrow which was its lead in) and 2.66 million overall

and they say UK BB getting 1.5m or whatever it is nightly is bad (I know US ratings work differently but still)

[lostalex]

Isn't this the same story as Wall-E?

[Locke.]

Doesn't seem that good considering TVD hit 5 mil on the Pilot and Arrow got 4 Mil

"The CW’s new sci-fi drama The 100 got off to a solid start on Wednesday night, delivering more premiere viewers than any new CW show this season."

I don't think it was expected to get so high because it's a sci-fi

[Novo]

Has really had much competition though has it, both Season Premieres of Arrow were higher :idc:

[Locke.]

Arrow has lost almost 50% of its audience from The Pilot, I bet The 100 doesn't do that :pipe:

[Novo]

Well if it does it will probably be cancelled so you best hope not

[Locke.]

It is only fair to judge both shows on their most recent ratings.... And oh look, The 100 is in the lead

[Novo]

Meanwhile on imdb King Klaus has a 8.7 rating and Desmond has a 7.4

[Z]

This looks good

[Benjamin]

Is it any good?

[Mystic Mock]

The cast look too good considering the circumstances they are suppose to be in, and also I don't trust the CW to have the top notch writing for this type of programme unlike Lost which was fantastic for most of it's run.

[GypsyGoth]

Will download this and check it out tonight.

[GypsyGoth]

It's well made, I think it's worth watching.

[BigSister]

I enjoyed it and i think ill carry on watching and hoping it doesnt get cancelled but being a midseason show its lost the battle halfway. If it carries on doing well its got a chance though.

[Mystic Mock]

It debuted to a 0.9 in the US BigSister, as long as it holds above a 0.5 I think it's safe.

[Smithy]

I just watched the first episode and i think it has potential, but there's a lot of stuff that's really bad about it

The main girls acting (clarke?) was just awful, she's SO bad, the scene in the ship thing as it was landing where she was screaming at the black guy "don't talk about my father" :umm2:, the script was really weak in general

The whole thing just felt really cliché to me, I'm gonna watch the second ep and hope that it's better and the first one was just crap because it was the pilot


also, if octavia got dragged around by some massive ass snake, she'd have more than that little scratch on her damn leg

[Smithy]

second episode was better but still kinda meh

it all just seems really stupid, like a bunch of criminals are just gonna bow to that guy, and noone else would see them string that guy up

[Kate!]

Set 97 years after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization, when a spaceship housing humanity's lone survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth in hopes of possibly re-populating the planet.

Anyone watching?

[Kate!]

Oops, I never realise stuff has already been out for ages! Doh.

[Locke.]

Watched the first episode last night.

I really liked it but it is really corny at the same time, very much like Arrow you could say. Enjoyable show though, I will be watching the rest of the season.

Got renewed for a second season as well.

[Locke.]

Oh for **** sake, killing my favourite character 3 episodes in :bored:

Desmond has to carry this show on his back all by himself from now on

[Locke.]

Halfway through the season now. The cheesyness has definitely died down and the dialogue has improved a lot.

I'm really into it now, the storyline is brilliant and I especially like all the scenes on the Arc.

[Lostie!]

I started watching this the other day. 5 episodes in and I'm really enjoying it.

I love how it pulls no punches, like killing a character as central and liked as Wells just 3 episodes in, the entire story with Charlotte, and having those people on the Ark sacrifice themselves and not copping out by having them see the rockets fired up just in time. It's much darker and heavier than I expected, and I love it all the more for it. :clap1:

Could do without the romance subplot but it doesn't exactly detract from my enjoyment of the rest of the show. :laugh:

[Lostie!]

And I've just noticed this is the second of Locke's TV threads I've bumped in as many days. :whistle:

[Lostie!]

Got fully caught up on this earlier. Brilliant show, the season 2 finale is up there with the best imo. :clap1:

Very excited for season 3 in a couple of days. :)

[Mokka]

Can't wait for the new season... It's my favourite thing to watch with my son... just before Mythbusters and The Flash

the season 2 cliffhanger has kept me excited for more!

[Lostie!]

Yeah definitely. I love how both season finales so far have been big WTF moments that really get you pumped for the next season. One of the ways it reminds me of Lost, actually. :laugh:

Definitely intrigued about this AI and her plans with the missile. I also hope we get a decent amount of Lexa in season 3, obviously she's one of my favourites. :laugh:

I'll spoiler any season 2 onwards stuff because I've no idea where the UK pace is up to. :laugh:

Canadian Netflix releases the episodes each week the day after the american release.... that's another plus to the show for me

[Natalie.]

Caught up too, can't wait for series 3.

[Lostie!]

Turns out the cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" used in the finale (I LOVED that version) is sung by Raign from The X Factor. Didn't expect that. :joker:

[Lostie!]

Great two first episodes of the third season, the second especially. :clap1:

I've been reading some theories on ALIE and the City of Light that seem to have been confirmed in this last episode, with it apparently being a virtual reality of sorts.

[Lostie!]

Just watched episode 4 of Season 3. I did NOT see the Ice Queen dying so soon. :shocked: It's a shame because I was really excited for her but it was a good shocking moment (and tbf she deserved it :laugh:).

Here for Ice King Roan though :clap1:

Pike's just an annoying ****bag and Bellamy's pissing me off too. :idc:

[Mokka]

Finished season 3... glad with how it ended... but the whole season got a little convoluted for me... too many story lines and sub story lines. I was happy to see everyone come together in the end... but even that seemed a little predictable tbh.

No big cliffhanger for next season though... not really anyways. Not sure what that means going forward with the series... but it felt like they tied up most of the ends on this season.

[Lostie!]

I'll hopefully get the finale watched tomorrow.

I'm really glad we've got a fourth season guaranteed, I just hope the backlash against Lexa's death doesn't stop them from being risky and daring. The 100's biggest achievement for me has always been it's willingness to go to really bleak places and kill off big characters even if they're really popular. It has real stakes which can't be said for a lot of other shows (especially on The CW tbh).

I'd like to see more from the Ice Nation next season too, they weren't as involved as I thought they were gonna be. Roan's a really intriguing character so, presuming he's still around after the finale, I hope he shows up again next season.

[Lostie!]

Roan has been upgraded to a series regular for Season 4 :clap1:

[Natalie.]

Good :D

[Lostie!]

I knew you'd be pleased about that :laugh:

[Natalie.]

Can't imagine why :whistle:

[Lostie!]

Can't imagine why :whistle:

:joker:

They released a sort of promo at Comic-Con which was pretty much a recap of the past seasons but at the end there was this

https://67.media.tumblr.com/a81514ffdd19cac52138a07ec958fed6/tumblr_oaqkyfZxle1rgbu02o9_250.gif

I don't think it's an actual shot from an episode but something they did to give an idea of what's in store for Season 4 (most likely in reference to what ALIE warned about the Earth becoming uninhabitable soon). Although I hope it becomes an actual scene because it looks epic :laugh:

And the showrunner has said

“The Earth strikes back in season 4. It’s an unbeatable foe. [The story] becomes not trying to stop it, because it’s not stoppable, it becomes how do we survive? There are not enough life boats. The Earth is the ark.”

Excited for it!

[Natalie.]

I like the sound of that
Such a long wait though!

[Lostie!]

I know! It should be an autumn show! :fist:

That cloud is very OUaT curse-style isn't it? :laugh:

[Natalie.]

Oh yeah it is :laugh: looks great

[Lostie!]

Indra's confirmed as returning too :clap1:

They still need to upgrade her to regular though :idc:

[Lostie!]

Caught up on the fourth season the other night (I think it'll start on E4 around April). Wasn't sold on the first two episodes (probably the weakest start to a season for me) but eps 3 and 4 pulled me back in. Less focus on the Ice Nation drama and more on the radiation threat, I really like Roan but I prefer him as an ally. The episode with Luna and the little girl suffering from radiation sickness and the girl dying was heavy, and an effective swerve since I was expecting the girl to live and Luna to die.

I STILL demand Adina's promotion to main cast. You can't convince me Monty is a more important character than Indra :idc:

[user104658]

Monty is getting really annoying actually. He might even be heading for... Jasper territory :worry:

[Lostie!]

Yeah I was thinking that. The whole "let's hate on Clarke for making the tough decisions none of us want to deal with" crap is annoying.

[user104658]

Indra is becoming a bit of a "Kenny" though, she is constantly getting hurt or almost killed :joker:.

The naming conventions of the Grounders is really interesting. I knew Lincoln was named after the Lincoln Memorial, Lexa after Alexandria and Tondc Washington DC* but there are more I never picked up on. Ontari = Ontario (yeah I feel really dense for not getting that one), Emori and Otan = Memorial Botanic Gardens. And I've seen it theorised that Queen Nia was named after Niagara Falls, which would make sense with the Ice Nation = Canada idea.

Don't think it's the case with all Grounder names but now whenever we meet a new one I'm instantly wondering what they might be named from :laugh:

*I must add I didn't even get Lincoln, Lexa and Tondc until I read about them online while binging the first two seasons :whistle:

Have you also noticed that most (maybe all?) of their "language" is just English with a very heavy accent? I only noticed it at the beginning of this season but after noticing it, I started noticing all the time. It makes more sense I suppose, and also explains why they speak another language despite all being able to understand and speak perfect English too... which would be the case with most strong accents.

Specifically the first time I noticed it was in episode 1 of this season, when Echo is ordering the guards to bring Jaha. The subtitle says "And bring him, too" while she quite clearly says in a sort of... Caribbean accent... "And lead him in same-time". I've noticed it loads of times since :joker:.

[Lostie!]

I hadn't but I'll be looking out for it now :laugh:

I looked it up and found this

The language was developed for Season Two of The 100 by the linguist David J. Peterson, who also made the Game of Thrones Dothraki and Valyrian languages. He claims that Trigedasleng is an a posteriori language based on English. He also says that he got his influences by studying pidgin and creole languages, "but [he] was probably more influenced by [his] recent read of Heine and Kuteva’s The World Lexicon of Grammaticalization more than anything else.

I love the world-building that goes into creating the whole Grounder culture.

[user104658]

I hadn't but I'll be looking out for it now :laugh:

I love the world-building that goes into creating the whole Grounder culture.


The two I noticed clearly from the most recent one were;


"Rangers, lock Wanheda in" for "Archers, target Wanheda"

"Cut 'im bondage off" for "Take off his chain"


Sometimes it's a lot harder to make out :think:. Though I'm pretty sure they said "Dey dun got an alarm on" or something close to that for "someone's warned them" :joker:.

[Lostie!]

Got around to watching last week's episode last night. Feels like the end of an era seeing Arkadia burn to the ground :shocked: Although they warned us with the season poster :laugh:

http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2017/01/23/c2348ztucamfxgf-1485194218736_640w.jpg

I'm thinking Abby might die this season. :worry:

Really enjoying the season. Only the first couple of episodes were a bit underwhelming, it's definitely back into its groove now.

I'm slightly bothered by the loss of the Ark though, specifically wondering where they keep their gear / weapons / ammo. If it's all gone up in flames... I don't know if I like where that goes writing-wise... as I like how distinct Skykru are because of their access to weapons and tech. I can see them becoming more and more like other grounder groups which would be sort of boring?

[Lostie!]

I get what you mean but at the same time it's something I'm really interested in seeing the aftermath of and how the Arkadians cope with such a big loss.

But I definitely don't want the show to lose its sci-fi elements, the mash-up of contrasting genres is one of my favourite things about the show.

[user104658]

It's not been renewed for Season 5 yet whereas all of the DC shows + Supernatural already have :worry:. Though I guess they start earlier. And the CW isn't known for cutting shows off without a conclusion. Sort of makes me wonder if they'll make S5 a final season though :(.

[Lostie!]

Riverdale has been too so I'm definitely starting to feel pessimistic about a renewal. :worry:

I've stopped watching the DC shows and Supermatural, The 100 was the only one I was waiting to hear about. :idc:

[Lostie!]

Renewed for season 5!! :worship:

[Jeol]

I'm so relieved omg

Worried that Abby might not make to the end of this season though :(, hope Miller and his bf live!

[Lostie!]

Another fan :clap1: It's so underrated on here! Yeah I'm really relieved too, it's easily one of my favourite shows.

I've been thinking the same about Abby :worry: Abby and Jaha are my top predictions for dying atm (I know a lot of people hate Jaha but he's always been one of my favourites :laugh:).

Miller and Bryan :love: I remember when everyone thought Miller and Monty were gonna be a thing :joker:

[Lostie!]

Finally watched the latest episode that I'd been pushing back while the show was on bloody hiatus. Extremely interested by Becca seemingly being connected to the Second Dawn. I'm in love with the theories that she's been in cryosleep all this time and is still alive (during the scene of Raven's seizure / flying dream Abby and Jackson were having a conversation in the background about Becca's Nightblood research being used on prisoners in cryosleep so I definitely see that being a subtle harbinger for an upcoming storyline). Erica Cerra's dual performance as Becca and ALIE last season was brilliant so I'll be really happy to have more of her.

Urgh, the CW is the worst for hiatuses. I mean yeah most traditional TV shows have them but most channels run more or less in half seasons with a longer break in the middle, MAYBE a gap of a week here and there if there's a good reason. I can handle that. But CW is bloody awful for being like... 3 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 2 weeks on, 4 weeks off :fist:.

Clear run to the finale on 24th May now though :)

Yeah you're dead right, I don't watch the CW DC shows anymore but I remember The Flash etc being really bad for constant random breaks too. It takes you out of the groove of the storyline, I just love The 100 enough to keep coming back :laugh:

Oh that's good to hear. More breaks this late in the season would be unforgivable :clap1:

[user104658]

I could make out loads of grounder-isms in that last episode... either they're making them more obvious, or I'm becoming fluent :joker:.

[Lostie!]

I could make out loads of grounder-isms in that last episode... either they're making them more obvious, or I'm becoming fluent :joker:.

There were always the obvious ones like Trikru, Skaikru etc but I never realised you could make out actual English in the general sentences until you pointed it out, now I'm noticing more too. Like with the Grounder version of "may we meet again" that Lincoln says before he dies - "Mebi oso na hit choda op nodotaim" - "maybe", "each other" and "another time" now stick out instantly :laugh: And tbh it makes total sense for the language of the Grounders in the remnants of what were English-speaking countries to just be a broken down version of English rather than a complete new made up language.

This week is getting really good advance reviews (like being suggested as one of the show's best episodes ever) so I'm excited :clap1:

[user104658]

"Maybe also know each other another time" I would guess? I'm going to start making lists :joker:. I want to know how consistent it is...

[Lostie!]

"Maybe also know each other another time" I would guess? I'm going to start making lists :joker:. I want to know how consistent it is...

Oh yeah that sounds spot on actually :laugh:

[user104658]

Was a brilliant episode... BUT...

I am getting sort of sick of the "twists" :worry:. It was literally great up until the last 2 minutes when it was revealed that Clarke and co had "stolen" and sealed the bunker. For one, like I said, just because I'm sick of there always being a twist... the result of the conclave being respected would have been a much better ending... and also because... Clarke and Abby sealing the bunker without Kane? Not buying it. Just doesn't work. Neither does them drugging / knocking out Bellamy and dragging him in without Octavia. Not because they care all that much about Octavia, but because they know fine well that he would never accept it :shrug:. Though I guess you could argue that they didn't think she would win the conclave and so are expecting to hear that she's dead anyway. Even that's sort of a stretch though. They've been setting her up for like 3 seasons as a ninja-assassin-killer, "Sky Ripper" and all that, so I don't know why they wouldn't have thought she had as decent a chance as the rest...

[user104658]

:clap1: the season finale.

Why is The 100 so under-rated :worry:.

[Lostie!]

I think it's so underrated because of the early days. The first episode especially is a really bad representation of the rest of the show :laugh:

But yeah, after a few episodes it became brilliant imo, definitely hugely underrated. Season 2 is one of my favourite seasons of TV ever.

As for the season 4 finale, I did like it but I wish we got more of a look at the effects of Praimfaya on those who didn't make it into the bunker. Even though they were pretty much all randoms, just seeing them in those final moments as the death wave approached I think would have been really effective. Also certain characters like Abby etc not appearing at all was awkward.

I was sure Echo was gonna die so I'm glad she didn't, I loathed her earlier in the season but she really grew on me in the last few episodes and her being part of the group who went to space is a really interesting dynamic.

Strange to think this was the first time Monty and Murphy have really interacted since they've both been around since day 1. And possibly the most unexpected budding bromance ever :laugh:

[Lostie!]

Tasya Teles (Echo) has been promoted to regular for season 5 :clap1:

On the opposite side, Isaiah Washington isn't returning full-time :( Guess he could still make appearances in a recurring capacity but he'd be the first regular to downgrade, usually people are just killed off :laugh:

[Locke.]

I didn't enjoy the first half of the recent season cery much but it ended strongly. As for the above spoiler I'd guess that he dies at some point in the 6 year time jump. I imagine that there will be a lot of flashbacks early next season showing certain things that happened

[user104658]

To be fair, I felt like Jaha was sort of shoehorned into the last season... For me his story arc pretty much ended with the destruction of the City of Light.

[Jeol]

Are we supposed to assume Miller's boyfriend was left outside the bunker? :worry:
I enjoyed the finale, the cliffhanger made me quite excited for next season :hee:

[Lostie!]

Good point about Jaha actually. He's always been one of my favourite characters but he never really had much to do this season unfortunately.

Are we supposed to assume Miller's boyfriend was left outside the bunker? :worry:

Bryan? He just randomly disappeared and now Miller's getting all flirty with Jackson so lord knows what happened to him :laugh:

I'm pretty sure they broke up at some point :think:. Disagreed about... some Ark political issue or other... :joker:. But yeah I don't know what happened to him after that.

[user104658]

Wait, was he one of the ones that Bellamy couldn't get to in time in the Black Rain? Am I imagining that?

[Lostie!]

giiIq7t4oMQ
-MFaDMeQQzU

Honestly I'm not sold on season 5's main storyline being a battle over the valley untouched by Praimfaya, it just sounds like a rehash of the fight over the bunker last season. Hopefully that's more of a starting point.

A lot of speculation that Octavia might assume a more villainous role this season and that second trailer just make me think that might happen.

Wait, was he one of the ones that Bellamy couldn't get to in time in the Black Rain? Am I imagining that?

Massively late response but no I'm pretty sure that was a father and son we hadn't actually seen. :laugh:

[Lostie!]

Renewed for Season 6! :clap1:

I enjoyed the first couple of episodes of season 5. I wish they hadn't revealed ages ago that Isaiah Washington was leaving because an original character dying in the second episode would ordinary feel much more shocking than it did because of that :laugh: But it was nice that they gave Jaha a heroic death after being such a wildcard over the series. As polarising as he was, he was always one of my favorites so I'll definitely miss him.

Here for Dark Octavia!

[user104658]

I'm holding out until July to binge it... I should probably avoid this thread tbh :worry:

Help Lostie I caved and watched the first three episodes, and every minute of all of them was amazing and now I don't know if I'm strong enough to hold out to binge the rest. I was only going to watch one, I swear :worry:.

Also I dunno who I'm spoilering this for but I'm glad you did, because I did NOT know that Washington was leaving

meaning episode two was an emotional rollercoaster :omgno:. "Red Queen" is now actually up there with "Die All, Die Merrily" (the conclave) and the "Blood Must Have Blood" double as one of my favourite episodes.

You've reminded me I still need to watch episodes 4 and 5 actually!Right up until his last breath I thought Abby was going to pull some doctor miracle as usual and patch him up and then they were all like "No he's literally about to die right now" and off he went :worry:.

Literally my only gripe with the episode (and the whole season so far) is that the botanist Skykru woman won her thunderdome match when there were trained security personnel and grounders in the mix. I mean I know it sort of hinged on her being the first to go for the weapon, BUT there had been no indication that she was combat trained (and no reason she would be combat trained as a scientist) and realistically she would have been rushed in seconds and a Grounder would have won :think:.

I have renewed my commitment to wait until the end of the season to watch the rest though. I enjoyed binging the first three episodes so much, its confirmed my theory that The 100 is best watched Netflix-style.

So instead I'm rewatching from the start :D

To which I have to add; the quality of the show improved so dramatically throughout season 1. Anyone who gave up in the first 5 or so episodes (where the plot is sort of directionless and the acting is questionable) has SERIOUSLY missed out here. Its almost like a totally different show once the Ark comes down and the adult characters roles are expanded.

[Lostie!]

Reading further up this page, it looks like you did know about him leaving but forgot in time to be surprised :joker:

And I agree actually, my binge of the first two seasons was glorious. The fast pace of the show is just further accelerated with a binge watch.

And I think the quality significantly improved as early as episode 3 with Wells' shock death and everything going full Lord of the Flies in the aftermath,but yeah it's come a long way from then too. It's a shame this show has the "typical CW teen show" reputation with people who never gave it a chance or bailed early because it's so much more. Beyond a few characters with seemingly impenetrable plot armour (which plagues almost every show tbf), it's a rare show where I really feel like the stakes are constantly high.

And of course mass tragedies like the Culling and the Mount Weather massacre that you'd expect to be averted at the last second (the latter especially because they're not gonna have the main heroine of the show be forced to commit genocide against mostly innocents... oh yes they are).

[user104658]

Did I?? :umm2: I wonder what else I've forgotten and will be surprised by all over again :joker:.

I actually think it's mainly the pilot episode where the production values are slightly decreased, acting isn't as good, and there are a few elements they ended up not going with (e.g. they changed Octavia's character pretty quickly, and they completely changed direction with the Mutant animals / giant snake etc... Which was for the best). Though I would say the major turning point was when and how they killed off Finn... That's the first "Oh... This is NOT One Tree Hill :omgno: " moment :joker:

I also strongly suspect the focus was originally intended to just be The 100 and then they realised that audiences were loving the Ark scenes with the adult characters, so they totally switched it up, featuring those characters more and also altering the young characters to be more adult / less "teeny". And now with the time jump none of the original characters are even that young.

I mean... the title of the show has been irrelevant since season 2... Haha.

[user104658]

I just binged all of S5.

D:

Beginning was good, the middle was a little slow, but the final 4 episodes were honestly brilliant. I want more already.

Season highlights;

- They ATE 1/3 of the population of the bunker :joker:. Nom nom jelly cube people.

- Murphy throwing a rock into the crowd so that they would all shoot each other :hehe:. I guffawed.

- The elephant in the room; Clarke's adopted daughter now has memories of doing sex with her, as Lexa. :umm2:.

- Minor plothole; Clarke briefly had The Flame, so shouldn't there also be a digital copy of Clarke floating around in Madi's head? I guess it can be explained by her only being connected for like 10 minutes, but I feel like they missed a plot opportunity there. Like when she was telling Clarke what the commanders were saying, she could have had copy-Clarke seeing what real-Clarke was doing, and disagreeing with her own actions... or something... :think:.. It would also have appeased ye olde Clexa shippers, with "a Clarke" and "a Lexa" living happily ever after together in The Flame.

I started watching recently on Netflix, I am really enjoying it! I am halfway through season 2 at the moment, I just saw the episode where the mountain men put the radiation burned girls blood through Jaspers body and she got better. :omgno:

[Nicky91]

i'm enjoying this series a lot :love:


i also love seeing Henry Ian Cusick (who played Desmond on Lost) in this series as well :flutter:

Kane is one of the best characters in the show really.

S5 spoilers;

Sadly his role seemed a bit reduced in S5, as I think he has other things / other roles that he's working on; he's still in most episodes, but he doesn't get a huge number of scenes in the second half of the season, and although he's been announced as back for S6 they've obviously written in his life-threatening injuries / being kept in Cryosleep to accomodate him maybe still not being hugely active for a while. I'm thinking maybe next season he'll be mostly absent for the first half (only seeing him in his cryopod) and then an active role in the second half. I'm just glad he hasn't left completely... I was a bit worried when Vinson turned him into a pincushion :worry:

[Lostie!]

So I completely forgot to post my thoughts once I finished season 5 ages ago

I was completely not expecting the mammoth time jump / Monty and Harper growing old and dying. What a bloody emotional sequence that was (and I say this as someone who never much cared for Monty). But damn, I thought he'd be one of the few to survive the whole show. :shocked:

Very interested to see where things go on this new planet. Crazy to think Earth is completely done with now.

Oh and in other news, Marie Avgeropoulos was arrested for domestic violence in August. Really.

I forgot it was starting so soon!

[Tony Montana]

I've only got 2 episodes of season 1 left, and I need to hurry the **** up and watch them

[Tony Montana]

Is that Clarke and Bellamy?

[Lostie!]

No they're both Clarke :laugh:

[Tony Montana]

Mess I thought the one on the right looked like Bellamy :laugh:

[user104658]

Oh and in other news, Marie Avgeropoulos was arrested for domestic violence in August. Really.

He wasn't Wonkru so... :worry:

But no seriously, domestic violence shouldn't be taken less seriously just because it's female-on-male but I suspect this will be / has been... if a male cast member was charged with beating his partner he'd probably be killed off in cryosleep :shrug:.

As much as I enjoy Octavia and really look forward to her post Blodreina arc, I have to agree tbh.

Trailer!!

Holy **** this looks good

[Nicky91]

a familiar face, new guy with beard :think:


btw am i only one thinking something could happen to first group going down to planet surface, and Kane while he is in cryosleep now, he might be needed for the search and rescue party later on in the series

[Natalie.]

The trailer looks so good! I can't wait

[Lostie!]

A new trailer!

This season looks sooo good

Also apparently the first couple of episodes have leaked so I'll be trying to avoid spoilers until they air :laugh:

Although, with them adding Sundays to their airing schedule, cancelling iZombie, and now Arrow ending after a short run next season too... they have plenty of space for The 100 to become the next Supernatural and get 10+ seasons :flutter:. Though I hope they don't use the extra space to give longer runs of episodes for The 100, because 13-episode seasons have worked so well and I actually think are a huge part of the storytelling success of the show. Very rare (if ever?) that you get a "filler" episode.

Oh I completely agree, The 100's seasons are perfect length as they are. The fast pace would be severely hampered by a 20+ episode season.

Arrow's ending?? I stopped watching years ago but I didn't see that going anytime soon :shocked:

[user104658]

Stephen Amell decided not to renew his contract. It's actually up already (2018/19 season) but they convinced him to do a half Fall 2019 season to wrap up (and so that he'll be part of Crisis on Infinite Earths). My guess would be that he'll die "heroically" during Crisis.

[Jessica.]

I am loving the current season. :omgno:

[user104658]

I've been hit 'n' miss with this season; some great scenes and concepts as always but some others that I'm not sure about (being "infected by time dilation" was a bit much for me). Also not enough focus on some supporting characters who have basically kinda disappeared.

HOWEVER the most recent episode (Nevermind) was excellent so hopefully, we're gathering pace now.

[Lostie!]

It's been confirmed that season 7 will be the final season. Fittingly, it will end with exactly 100 episodes. As sad as I'll be to see the show end, 7 seasons is a bloody good run and we're I'm really excited to see how it all ends.

I fell way behind with this season and just started catching up yesterday :laugh: That said, I know pretty much the main things that have happened because my self restraint is godawful. I really wish I hadn't read about certain big events though, particularly the deaths of Kane and Abby. Those (particularly Abby's) would have been genuine shocks for me. I saw a clip of Abby as Simone Lightbourne from the latest episode too, Paige is such a bloody good actress :flutter:

The cast from the early seasons is pretty much decimated with Kane and Abby going in quick succession :laugh: Just Clarke, Bellamy and Octavia remain from the season 1 main cast :shocked: (Raven and Murphy were upgraded in seasons 2 and 3 respectively)

By the time Kane actually dies I was just relieved that they let him go. For a second I thought they were genuinely going to keep him in the body of a new actor and I was screeching "Blaspemy!!!" at the screen but thankfully it was a red herring :joker:. A brilliant character played by a great actor, and in the end, a great death scene.

I didn't see the Abby death coming but... to be honest... I can't lie, she's been irritating since the beginning of S5 so...

[Lostie!]

I finished season 6 last night and I bloody loved it from beginning to end. Probably my next favourite season after season 2. Wish I hadn't spoiled so much for myself but it was brilliant regardless :clap1:

Very excited for The Anomaly to presumably take centre stage in season 7.

I have a strong suspicion that we might see

Abby and Kane (maybe others?) return in the finale via some sort of anomaly related time shenanigans...

not 100%, but a strong suspicion :suspect:. Their twists aren't always the twistiest ... a couple of the major ones this season

Clark eventually posing as Josephine, and Diyoza's daughter returning from the anomaly fully grown

were awfully predictable. I enjoyed them nonetheless, but you could see them coming by a couple of episodes into the season :laugh:

[Nicky91]

great season 6 finale ep

i am actually happy about JR Bourne's character Russell still alive, so more from him too i guess otherwise they would've killed him off if they no longer had storylines for him, the sheidheda uploaded to some unknown location, might also feature in season 7 again then :think:
