I loved how Dan's comments were directly after the sweet moment in the bed where you're thinking; "you know the show is cynical etc but it did do a good job with a lesbian relationship without being overthetop or cliched or fanservice blahblahblah" and then they remind you/the audience "btw you do know that she's…

My issue with the believability of the abortion criminalisation bit was that it wasnt necessary for Roslin to criminalise women. Most prolifers prefer to argue for prosecution of the abortion doctors and not the women seeking abortions. But so even if the Evil Gemenon prolifers are charicatures, Roslin could have made…

Wind that Shakes the Barley is the best film depicting the Irish war of independence. Its not without its flaws (it veers a little more left/socialist than it needed to) but despite the fact that it is actually "fiction" much of the anecdotes are grounded in real events and based on real people. Its a stark contrast…

once she had taken it, even though her daughter and friends were being threatened and even though she was asked to kill herself (twice) she didnt try to fight it? While Raven only started fighting when she realised she had forgotton Finn… hardly the same stakes?

But actually they werent "forced" to take it. It seemed to me like they had found a loophole in Alie's requirement that it be a "free choice" so they are coerced into taking the chip sure but there is no explanation as to why they were basically zombies and conduits for Alie versus Jaha and Raven…
There is a point…

but why didnt Abby have the same ability to fight the chip?

I still cant fully buy the way the City of Light ultimately played out. Jaha had this interesting arc which combined his spirituality and his suffering. He gets to the City of Life and we are lead to believe that he buys into it fully, while still being in control of his senses. At times he suggests solutions to some…

Sad to see Roan go, since we never got any development of any Grounder men :p

outside of 3 of the members, so half of the team were official Shield employees ? lol

yes i see a clip referencing it coming up but it seems that Coulson forgets that Shield's index from before was basically a similar "registration act".
Im just curious when the Avengers Initiative evolved to not just a distinct and seperate entity from Shield but with zero relationship at all (despite Hawkeye and…

i never really understood how the Avengers really were all that independent before this film. I mean they were brought together by SHIELD, two of the avengers are SHIELD graduates (?) so do we not assume that they are in some way connected to the US government. Doesnt SHIELD basically do much of the Accords anyway,…

so does anyone else wonder why its ok for Adele to talk about heartbreak but when Beyonce does it theres somehow a difference? like i get that scandal is a scandal and maybe the power couple have a higher profile than Adele. But why does Adele not get shit for turning her heartbreak into money?

I agree that once the chip came into play it was clearly too tempting.
I just mean in the original clash, it just didnt play out as believable as it couldve. Like, she empties the room instead of just ordering them to be tied up/killed (and she has shown herself to be plenty ruthless and merciless). She lets Jaha talk…

Was it also a bit strange that the new commander believed/trusted Jaha so quickly…?

it also is a bit convenient that Becca landed in the same vicinity/continent/within a few days hike of ALIE's base… which is also conveniently in and around where the 100 crashed into Earth…

eh they were never really asked… and had they consulted someone like Abby a solution might have been found…
like its not strictly black/white, good/evil, sure, but the 100 werent stubbornly refusing… they didnt know or understand what was needed… and ultimately were violated without their knowledge/consent.
Besides…

yea but i thought the plan was obvious… jasper knew the plan… and he was the one that took her out…
so Alie should have deduced it anyways? Jasper went for the wrist bands and Jaha stopped him so Alie could easily have checked with Raven "why was he getting the wrist bands" "oh yea i was gona do an MEP thing to fry the…

This is the problem with shows that start off with a great, intriguing premise but once it moves past some looking at interesting concepts, it can get a bit lost. Speaking of Lost, a similar show that had a great premise, "bunch of people get stranded on an island, all is not what it seems".

Where was Abby during the uprising?

ah like you're not wrong, there has been a lesbian kiss, and sex scene. But while the former was a great scene the latter may have been somewhat gratuitous which doesnt justify having a gay kiss in return. I liked how it was done, Miller is nervous, clearly torn between not telling him and his duty, his gestures came…
