And the way the grounder parlay went down was plausible. I think both sides were prudent in bringing backup; the danger of kidnapping in a meeting like that is too great not to do it. And Anya was quite right; there really wasn't any point in her negotiating with Clarke because she couldn't promise the treaty would hold once the others arrived. The best she could offer was a 2-day truce and good intentions. It's unfortunate Jasper shot first, but that too was plausible. People make bad decisions under that kind of pressure.<br /><br />I almost gave up on the show after the first few episodes because of the sheer ridiculousness of some of the plot devices. I mean, they seriously can't distinguish a dead person from a transmitting device failure? And they sent them with no way of measuring radioactivity? All they really know from the survival of the 100 is the radiation isn't lethal in days, which they could probably have guessed by the lush vegetation. It doesn't mean they won't all come down with cancer in a few years. The only real evidence that the earth is liveable is the grounders, and for all we know, all their women have ten children so that two are born without unsurvivable deformities. The bizarre lack of preparation for the mission of the 100 leaves me thinking it's not surprising the Arc is at death's door. They're bloody incompetent.<br /><br />Still, there are some interesting character arcs developing.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-54875285756884729082016-12-02T15:37:31.075-05:002016-12-02T15:37:31.075-05:00Maybe it's too much Hunger Games but I bet the...Maybe it's too much Hunger Games but I bet the 13th station wasn't destroyed and actually landed on Earth and is the source of the people who live on the surface.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-13683655344067472172015-09-01T11:50:46.479-04:002015-09-01T11:50:46.479-04:00Dichen Lachman!

(I knew Diana and the red-haired guy were up to no good! And she just made things so much worse. Argh!)<br /> <br />The Traveler’s Blessing was really lovely. That moment between Kane and his mom made me choke up a fair amount.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-39820684121896717012015-07-14T18:20:06.286-04:002015-07-14T18:20:06.286-04:00Any show immediately becomes 37% more awesome the ...Any show immediately becomes 37% more awesome the moment Dichen Lachman appears on screen. :)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78997634930533115582015-06-14T20:54:26.052-04:002015-06-14T20:54:26.052-04:00Oh, Diana. Man, I didn’t like her at all. She had ...Oh, Diana. Man, I didn’t like her at all. She had “EVIL” written in her forehead the minute she walked in, and that’s all she is in the end. Bummer. That scene with her group trying to close the door and Jaha’s group trying to open it was... weird. It must’ve been fun to shoot, though.<br /><br />I also didn’t like Jasper shooting and, with that, ending any peace possibility. Yes, it was bound to happen, but I wished the writers had come up with a better way to do it.<br /><br />My complaints apart, the biggest event of the episode is, of course...<br /> <br />Anya! Yes! The Boss is here. I think Anya is my favorite Dichen Lachman role. She’s also my favorite grounder. Anya freaking rules. That’s all for the moment.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-30429835313154732492015-06-05T04:28:29.110-04:002015-06-05T04:28:29.110-04:00Why Jasper, Whyyy?!
