Sounds vaguely like Xena and Gabrielle…

The 100 is basically borrowing the Trill concept from Star Trek…

AoS having a contemporary setting lets Marvel drop breadcrumbs for their films.

The zero matter annoyed me largely because of how uninvasive it was to a human body. After it was sucked out of Whitney Frost, she's perfectly fine again anatomically and physioigically. Same with Jason Wilkes at the end of last week's episode. Here he is this week, none the worse for wear. It just lifted me out of…

Zero matter is "indigenous" to the other dimension? Does that mean our periodic table of elements doesn't naturally occur over there?

Yeah it's hard to enjoy a show where Arkadia is supposed to be the protagonists and yet I find myself wishing each week that Arkadia would suffer a beatdown at the hands of the Grounders like the kind the Na'vi handed the humans at the end of Avatar.

So is ALIE an actual entity, for just a figment of everyone's mind? If it's the latter, presumably anyone who took the "key" would see and hear "her" wherever they happen to be, but in the scene with Jaha and Jackson they were both conversing with "her" simultaneously and she seems to be standing in the same place…

Even if we figure that a person begins to be counted as an adult at age 12, that's still an unusually small share of children, and a large proportion of the adult population being childless.

Well "codine" isn't AI.

Maybe at some point this season Abby will get to deliver an "I NEED my pain!" speech a la Captain Kirk in ST5. Or maybe Kane will…he'd rock something like that.

Oh I suspect The 100 is much more expensive. Even with just 16 episodes. Most of the DC shows are filmed on sets. The 100's only set pieces this season are inside Arkadia and inside Lexa's penthouse in Polis.

I'm not referring to tech, but rather the physiological effects of nanotech colonizing a brain stem. I think as a physician she could rather quickly extrapolate that to essentially mean possession of some sort.

So presumably Jasper would forget Maia. And he was sitting there for Jaha's "Wells?" moment. So presumably, if Jasper still wants the CoL pill, he voluntarily wants to forget Maia.

They'd have had to have survived the radiation levels in the immediate aftermath, which were probably well beyond what they are now. There'd have been no generations of resistance to radiation built up in them (as it is, the radiation resistant blood and bone marrow developed far faster than natural selection would…

Octavia was briefly on Lexa's hit list last season. Clarke went out of her way to nip that in the bud, even at the risk of her own safety. That Bellamy would fail to live up to Clarke in the protect Octavia department is a massive betrayal of Bellamy's character.

I wish this show were 23 episodes per season like CW's DCverse shows. Those shows have, if anything, the opposite problem. They have a little more time than they know what to do with, and we get some tedious filler. Here we often have some meat trimmed simply because it doesn't fit in the pot.

They described physiologically what the pill does in considerably detail…essentially colonizing the brain stem. Someone with Abby's credentials could probably extrapolate from there. It will be interesting to see Abby work it out. The Wells reveal was Clue One.

Well the explanation of what happens was rather specific, and didn't seem framed to sound appealing. It sounded rather like Star Trek's Borg assimilation process, but via a "pill" rather than injection tubules, and with considerably less extensive anatomical invasiveness, and none at all externally.

Just about every guest in the episode was reduced an Episode 200 gimmick. Leslie's appearance out of thin air after the better part of a decade was particularly gratuitous.

Emerson's census of Mount Weather seemed rather lopsided…182 (adult) men, 173 (adult) women, and just 26 children, two of which were his. That indicates that the vast majority of Mount Weather's adults were single, or at least childless. With the finite resources, I suppose that permission might need to be sought to…
