I get what you're saying, but I think it's more like The 100 is less of an allegory of contemporary events and more of one of humanity's tendency to fall into patterns of conflict and violence. Pike could be Trump, but then he could just as easily be Augusto Pinochet or Omar al-Bashir or Slobodan Milosevic or any of…

Here's a thought; what if they don't even try to give him a redemption? They don't kill Bellamy; they don't have him do anything to get back on Kane's (or the audience's) good side; they don't have him show any indications that he thinks what he did was wrong. They just let events play out, have Bellamy survive them,…

That comment Kane makes about how Pike is refusing to see the world how it is; I think that that's a sentiment that you could, arguably, apply to most of the main characters in this season.

At this point, I've just sort of come to accept that this is where Bellamy is right now and have stopped worrying about how he got there. What really worries me, from a storytelling standpoint is how the writers are going to handle his character from this point forward. While the end of this episode seems like it sets…

That part with Bellamy bugged me too, until I realized; Grounders aren't people to him. That's been the consistent feature of his arc for this season- the Skaikru are people who need to be protected, the Grounders are just threats that need to be removed. That's why he's able to be consistently violent towards…

Admittedly, I'm only 26 so I'm speaking from the perspective of somebody that hasn't been alive that long but I just don't buy this idea that people today are more disconnected from one another due to technology and the media. All social media has done is highlight an apathy that's always existed.

In my view, the media has had no appreciable impact. People have always lacked empathy for those outside of their immediate orbit.

You bring up an interesting point about Kim K. I disagree with your assertion that she's overdoing it, because I don't think oversaturation is really a thing anymore- especially not for an entity like the Kardashian clan. They've found a way to monetize attention; if what they're doing is still making money, why…

The politicking at Leyland and in the- mostly superfluous- the Marshall storyline taught me one crucial thing.

Yep. The 1st season had no resolution of the titular crime. It's actually one of AC's main draws.

It was a waste of Richard Cabral.

Which image would I want to represent my sister/daughter/mother? I can only speak for me, but….

This whole "upstanding females" thing is complete BS. Trying to throw shade at women for choosing to dress a certain way is just bullying. Trying to make value judgments about a woman based purely on her appearance or how many people she's slept with is beyond foolish.
I've known "thots" who were some of the best,…

No need to put a label on it. I supported Gary Johnson in the last election, but I don't consider myself a Libertarian.

“Don’t wipe off the rouge yet boys, seems like we have a second show.”

…..And now I'm imagining Scorpius lurking in shadows, waiting to gank unsuspecting Scarrans with a katana.

I watched the finale of Turn and, month's later, I'm still wondering what the fuck is going on with that show.

That's……a surprisingly fitting description.

I watched the first season and, personally, I found it really hit or miss. I count myself as a fan of wuxia films, heroic bloodshed, and steampunk settings. Aesthetically, I thought the show was pretty awesome. Most of the fights are really well choreographed and visually interesting; plus, there's no shaky cam or…

Unfortunately, I can't describe what condom-less chex feels like because I have never once gone in raw.
