The 100

The previews make it seem like Lord of the Flies + monsters.

CW and their endless supply of hot chicks. Nice of them to show some ass and brutally murder 3 underaged kids.

This looks like a Hunger Games tv series with the two camps and the adults above fucking with them.

Based on a shitty book:

The 100 (The Hundred, #1) by Kass Morgan - Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists

It's pretty meh, but yeah, just being sci-fi will keep me watching for a bit. Hot brunette is a bonus, too bad the main chic isn't really that attractive.


I watched the season preview at the end of the episode, which I pretty much never do. Was a mistake. Assholes spoiled the fact that:

Not a huge deal, I just hate spoilers.

Noticed that also Raes, but wasn't surprised by it.
Premise is interesting enough to keep me watching, but yeah, way too teeny atm.

Also, the math is bothering me a bit. Trying to figure out how small the population of the space station is that getting rid of 100 kids extends their life support for a month, while still being large enough to have 100 underage criminals.

Edit: Not to mention the fact that getting rid of your young hardly seems like it's in the interest of the survival of your species.

Geiger Counter

A device used to measure radiation levels in a particular area.

Why do they not possess one of these?? All this talk about " Radiation might be killing them, and nobody has even one of these devices? I guess it would not matter that much since it is a " Do and hope you do not die" kind of mission but it annoyed me at all the talk of radiation levels with no measuring device to be had. I also wondered about the space station population. It has been 97 years in space and they had a large enough population to breed 100 teenagers( All of whom look to be 17-20 years old)+ the non-criminals? That is a LARGE population. I guess there could be an age limit established though. At 50, you get air locked.

I loved the part where the blonde chick expresses her concern about the lack of animals. There are no animals and yet the trees apparently mutated to not require carbon dioxide to live?? I was hoping that something was going to come out and eat the deer, but the two headed gotchya was good enough. So yeah the show has a ways to go, but some of the premise is fun. If the kid that got gutted in the chest by a spear lives, there better be a damn good reason why or I stop watching the show right there. That was the best scene in the first episode as it showed that life indeed can be brutal. The last statement made me roll my eyes though, "We are not alone". You are also not in Kansas anymore, as I am sure that line will also be used. Thank you Captain Obvious.

The whole not sending them down with geiger counters and having them built into each of the braclets is more than dumb. Also the guy getting upset people are taking their bracelets off. Dude the people on the station sent 100 kids unequipped un supplied to die horribly why in gods name would anybody do anything to assist them?

Sure it may be nice to have farmers and engineers but chances of them letting you live if they do come down is pretty much nil so the people on the planet should do everything they can to encourage the people on the station to off themselves.

I already rewatched that part like 20 times...I mean, uh, what?

@goatface The only supplies that I remember being discussed were the ones stored at the Mt. shelter they are heading to. Which I don't understand how they would be unspoiled after 100 years. Or why they would send these juvenile delinquents to find it, since it has a stockpile of weapons also. But, I digress.

It is not necessarily a linear relationship, they might be able to fix oxygen scrubbers much faster if they are offline, but not have enough capacity to keep the current population alive with one turned off.

Like trying to repair a car while driving it.

It's a little vague, but apparently there was some kind of malfunction which threw the dropship off course. They were supposed to land a lot closer to the bunker.
