The more I hear about this movie, the more it really just sounds like a direct cinematic adaptation of the first game. Which is… something.

"And she probably only functions as a romantic foil for the main hero."

Well in fairness… what's happened in Clarke's world experience to date to giver her any reason to care about Anya's people, specifically? In no particular order she was briefly imprisoned by them, they tried to kill everyone she knew, succeeded in killing roughly 40% of them (unrelated note - I would LOVE to see the…

I would think, from a character/cultural perspective, that it's unlikely that the Grounders really think of The 100 as "children," or that they necessarily bat an eye at them being sent to the ground.

Really the only relationship I might have "hoped" for on The 100 was Jasper & Octavia, which they kind of started to frame out and then abandoned (so far).

There's also an argument to be made about Kane, going back to his insistence on population control back on the Ark. I think even at the time he said some things that alluded to having lost a lot of faith in himself and being afraid he'd made the wrong choice. Although the chronology is a little tough to puzzle out,…

I think your feelings on Octavia & Lincoln kind of depend on how you interpret Romeo & Juliet relationships - fast, passionate, and wrought with very powerful expression of emotion. Some people find that completely plausible, other people like to remind you that it's essentially a story about a grown man seducing a…

Yeah I guess they're implying that there was a lull of (I'd have to guess) a few weeks between the episode before that one (where they found the guns and Lincoln escaped) and that scene - wherein Octavia and Lincoln started playing a sex game of him teaching her how to track/fight. And then doing it on the floor of a…

This show is such a weird hodgepodge of what I generically expect a CW show to be (Pretty Teenagers dealing with "She loves him but he loves her but she loves…") and gritty brutalism/moral relativism.

Good point - I'd actually watched that episode last night, should have put two and two together. I still think they maybe over-improved Octavia in the timeframe they're working with, but it's not completely out of left field that she has some survival skills now.

2-for-2, my comment is eaten and reappears. A sad state of affairs.

/headdesk - and yeah, there's the first response I made that I thought never posted. Story of my life, people.

Stupid question, but was there some time leap between the First & Second seasons I forgot about? When did Lincoln teach Octavia "how to fight?" That was something she alluded to last night and I'm rewatching the first season on Netflix, but I didn't really think there was a narrative window of time that really backed…

I actually kind of saw it as a callback to Clarke in the first season, when she let (sort of participated) in Bellamy & Co. torturing Lincoln to try to figure out the antidote for Finn's poisoned knife wound. Clarke wasn't the same degree of pacifist as Finn, but she's generally been positioned as "against violence."

Sort of new to this Disqus commenting thing. I thought I had replied to this before but it seems to have been eaten. Apologies if it appears twice.

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken, although it's a fair point of confusion because the show didn't really elaborate on it too much to clarify that the rules had, in effect, changed.
