The 100

He sounded excited, in my opinion.

What type of thing does Monty like anyway? What haven't they seen?

I wonder what the point of having Clarke escape last episode was. Seems to me that time would have been better spent with Finn and Lincoln. Also, I officially like Lincoln now. It's good they've expanded his character beyond romance. And look, Reavers! Though I hope to God Monty hasn't been caught by them.

So, do you think Bellamy or Clarke is in the right? Ignore it's probably to late to run. Oh, and if Raven dies I will rage, btw.

Team Bellamy because of teenage hormones. Also, apparently his actor is Australian? He wins forever, in my mind.

The struggles of adolescence aside, I still am on Team Bellamy. If they run, they'll keep running for, like, ever, if they fight, and they die there, they'll at least die fighting instead of running. Also, with the way the narrative is going, they should stay where they are so, you know, the Ark. << That was me trying to be vague and not spoil it for anyone.

Both Clarke and Bellamy's actors are from Australia.

You can tell when Eliza Taylor says her name introducing The 100 right before the show airs.

They also do that for Reign and Adelaide Kane is also from Australia.

I don't care.

Team Bellamy forever!

At first I was like, 'what is WRONG with that guy? He's so frikkin' annoying? Did he just read Lord of the Flies or something?'

Now I don't want him to die and I would like to high-five him in person.

I'll go with Clarke, tbh. You can say it's better to die fighting, but I'd rather live. Clarke also knows about the Reavpers which is a Fate Worse than Death.

Those bastards, they finally did it. They finally killed off Jaha. Every episode since the 1st, somebody either tries to kill him or he tries to sacrifice himself, but he always survived, so I thought he'd be safe. But as soon as Cain was giving his speech, I knew Jaha was done. As mentioned, he has a thing about self-sacrifice, so with no one there to talk him out of it he was doomed. In all fairness, Cain is probably my favorite character, so I'd prefer Jaha's sacrifice to him but....I wish it was Abby. And the way they left him, just staring at Earth all alone, with a week left. That's just cruel.

No way is Flynn/Finn and Bellamy dead. They had to have ran away before the blast. Not even Game Of Thrones kills off two central,(presumably) well-liked characters like that. We'll be seeing more of them. Maybe next season will be escape from the Mountain Men, led by Finn, Bellamy, Octavia, and Lincoln?

I feel embarrassingly blindsided by the Mountainmen twist. I expected them to be super badass warrior types who keep the grounder tribes under their thumb, but them controlling the high tech of the Mountain is so obvious in hindsight. With their tech, it makes sense how the grounders could be ruled (meaning dominated as opposed to governed, though they could be governing the grounders) by them, and the mountain and it's supplies was mentioned enough that I should have made the association. Still, it's always a pleasure to be surprised by such a sensible, logical twist. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be too friendly—I got the impression that the Grounders were afraid of them, and Monty (super glad hes not with the Reavpers) didn't exactly look happy. Also, changing people's clothes for them is creepy. Once again, I'm anticipating an a 'escape from the mountainmen plot next season.

Other, innocuous observations: I officially like Octavia, Lincoln, and Octavia/Lincoln. They were too wrapped up in each other at first, but now they've given Lincoln a strong moral backbone and a sense of righteousness, and Octavia her loyalty to her brother and the 100, they're much better characters. Not my favorite, mind you (that's Clarke, Cain, Jaha, and Raven) but definitely not on my bad side. Also, I love Bellamy's character development. Out of everyone, he's grown the most and I really appreciate it. He's a good character, plain and simple. Though I do hope his screw ups aren't entirely forgiven and forgotten, especially by the people on the Arc. Also, with the Mountainmen coming to the... kidnap? rescue? whatever, Raven is definitely alive. She may be crippled, though. And can i just say I still am gunhoe for a Raven/Love Interest Boy/Clarke OT3? Or just plain Clarke/Raven? Cause I am.

tl;dr: Raven, Finn, and Bellamy are fine, upset about Jaha (in a good way), next season will be Escape From the Mountainmen!, like the character development for Bellamy and Octavia.

Tbh, it would make a lot of sense if the mountain men are generally just isolationist as all heck - If you had an ongoing technological civilization going, would you want anything to do with the grounders or reavers? I suspect the kids just got drafted. Because they are the first fresh blood the mountain men have seen in a long while that are not murderous barbarians.

I love Raven and Clarke so much. OT3, or just princess mechanic is definitely the way to go.

I've often joked that the best way to deal with a YA love triangle is to nuke both male partners from orbit.

If Bellamy and Finn actually died, then that makes the first time this has actually happened. Seriously, this show just loves fridging dudes for Clarke's emotional development: Dad was already fridged before we started, Wells got killed by Charlotte, and now Bellamy and Finn are lost in the ashes. Meanwhile we hopefully get a surviving Raven.

I just saw the season finale. I liked it I didn't expect the Mountain men to be high-tech and to quarantine the grounders and the remaining 100. At the beginning of the season I thought that Cain would be the villain and I expected to hate him; I did at first but the last half of the season they made him more sympathetic and proved that he was actually good just did some questionable things for the greater good.

Season 2 premiere teaser.

Official description for episode 2.01 "The 48."

There is also screen captures.

I really enjoyed the premier. The Mount Weather society (and by extension, their president himself) are at the same time genuinely good and terrifyingly controlling and I really felt for Clarke as she reacted to her new situation. And I'm really excited to see more interactions between the president and Clarke.

I'm surprised there were so many still on the ground—I thought everyone but Bellamy, Finn, and Octavia were in the ship. Anyway, I'm glad Cain's not been entirely cured of his assholness-we'll get even more character development this season! Yay!

More seriously, what was up with that ending? I admit, I'm disappointed they brought Jaha back this episode, especially considering how awesome and perfect his send off was, but it seems they're setting up a plot with him, or other wise they wouldn't have that cliffhanger ending. Which I also don't get. Even if there is a baby abandoned on the arc, what's he going to do about it? Offer to sacrifice himself? And, to be honest, after the show blows up a singing circle of children, I'm not going to get too worked up about a single baby.

Did anyone else know they were in DC? That caught me off guard.

I don't know if I just have consistently low expectations or if the show really is very good, but I really love it. Has anyone read the books its based on? I'm considering reading them.

Well, they were supposed to land near Mount Weather, which is about sixty miles from DC. So if they were about halfway between the two, it makes sense.

My reading of the ending was that it was a hallucination.

I don't actually watch this show that much (I don't DVR and I watch Modern Family on wednesdays so I always at least miss the first half), but when I do see it, I like it.

If it was just a hallucination, it wouldn't be so cliffhangery. Seems to me they're setting up a plot. Then again, it could just be a mindscrew hallucination ending—which would be a really disappointing way of sending Jaha off, I think.

What does Monroe have to gain from Not telling Caine that Jaha is still alive?

Seemed just blindly dickish to me. However! This show is fantastic! I dunno, I liked the baby bit, it made me scream bloody murder. But you're right, if there's a baby what is Jaha going to do about it? If anything, I'd like the show to go into the isolation that comes with being in space. Initially I was thinking the baby - if it is real - would be a Replacement Goldfish for Wells? I guess we'll find out.

The weakest part of the premiere was Octavia and Lincoln. Their relationship is so creepy? Lincoln has to be, like, 30?

I don't think Jaha's messages were reaching the ground—I doubt Monroe was lying.

But that last episode man—we've got reavers, blowing up children, a body harvest factory. This show can be really dark.

For what it's worth, it doesn't seem the mountainmen have any attention of draining the 100. Maybe they just want to breed? That's a weird way to say it, admittedly. This also explains why the grounders are so afraid of the mountainmen. I hope Clarke plays it cool and doesn't confront the president about this, instead carefully plotting an escape.

Also, I don't know how I feel about Jaha surviving. I really liked his 'sendoff' last season and don't know what more he can add. Still, maybe now that he's developed a survival instinct he'll finally stop offering to sacrifice himself? Yay character development. Poor dude can't catch a break though, landing in the middle of the desert and all. I also like Wells not being completely defined by Clarke—now he's a satellite to Clarke and his father!

No, I really enjoyed it though. This season is promising.

There were some sort of ruins relatively close by in the desert Jaha landed in, though. It's still not going to be a cakewalk, but they might be inhabited by people willing to talk—or at least not kill him outright.

I'm liking the season so far, even Octavia and Lincoln are starting to be interesting. I hope Clarke and the other kids won't spend the entire season under the mountain though.

It does limit their agency. I'm betting most of the kids will be stuck there, but the named characters will somehow escape. And I agree Linocln and Octavia have much improved, though they seems to be at their worst (meaning, their most bland) when they're together.

That episode kind of hurt I want to give everyone a hug. Though I got to say, I love how this show isn't afraid to completely break down their characters. Though I don't know where their going to go with Finn—obviously, he's going to have to get help, but do they have any (surviving) therapists? To be honest, I kind of want him to stay in this delusion state so he doesn't have to confront what he's done . Aaaand I'm back to hating Abbie again. It's not like I don't see where she's coming from, but still... Is it just me or does the president seem more like a figure-head this episode ("just go paint dad")? If so, I'm a bit disappointed.

So any thoughts on what the "City of Lights" is? At first I thought Jaha had maybe wound up far from the main plot But then they have him and Kane meet up at the end of the next episode

Video about the Grounder language.

It was created by the same person that created the Dothraki language in Game of Thrones.

Thanks for sharing! That was really cool. I have a lot of respect for people who can create languages like that (and make it consistent).

Yes, one of the things that bugged me in the first season was that the Grounders spoke perfect English. I'm guessing that English serves as a lingua franca for various tribes who have each evolved their own dialect.
