I've waited impatiently for the past 6 months for my Library to
get a copy of Season 2 of The 100 on DVD and it killed it.
Literally. I loved Season 1 and as much as I was looking forward
to the followup, I was hard pressed to believe that it could
outdo its rookie season. Not only does Season 2 match Season 1,
it f*cking obliterates it to the point of making it look tame by
comparison. Well, Season 1 still rocks, but you get the idea by
my analogy. Season 2 is an absolute much-watch. Where do I
begin? As I mentioned in my review for Season 1
HTML http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/the-100-(season-1-2014)/msg35136/#msg35136,<br
/>there are parts that are very reminiscent of Lost. Well, this
season relies heavily on Lost in such a way that it almost felt
like a homage of sorts. The Acid Fog is basically the Smoke
Monster and the people of Mount Weather are the "Others", both
of which live an idyllic life with all the creature comforts
that most societies have. Well, up to a point.
That's where things get really f*cked up with what is happening
inside the Mountain. At times it's brutal to see people being
drained of blood in order to "save" the Mountain Men, Women and
Children. This whole bunker is also reminiscent of the Hatch.
All that was missing was Desmond. Oh, wait, Henry Ian Cusick is
on the show. Duh! The main plot of this season is Clarke finding
a way out of the Bunker with the intent of returning to rescue
her people that she left behind and that's where the fun really
kicks in, especially with the 'Sky People' making an uneasy
alliance with the Grounders. With them now joined at the hip,
the overall arc for Clarke is having to make the hard choices
that are needed to keep her people alive and what transpires is
fascinating to watch and gut wrenching to see because you know
she is slowly losing herself with each choice that she makes
that takes another life. There is one main character that she
sacrificed that was truly shocking to see. I won't say more
other than this, the ending completely turns the series on it's
head...again. What the f*ck! I can't wait for Season 3 to start
in 2 weeks. Bring it on! I highly recommend Season 2 as a Buy.
Now I'm gonna go watch the Bonus content that's on the DVD which
as the Comic Con Panel. I'll probably hit that first.

Not gonna start a new thread on The 100. Just gotta post at just
how awful this show is now. Even though I didn't post anything
on Season 3,4 and 5, I still stuck with it. It's been awhile,
but I remember Season 3 being good, Season 4 less so and Season
5 was about the same. It had its faults, but it also had some
pretty cool stuff happening. But Season 6 (this season) is
AWFUL. Pure GARBAGE. I don't know what they are doing or what
they are thinking, but this is sh*t, no matter how you cut it.
This whole Primes and implanting memories into "willing" humans
to prolong their lives is just stupid. What was once a killer,
kickass series resembles NOTHING it once was. Makes perfect
sense that Henry Ian Cusick wanted out. Sure, he may have a new
series, but I truly believe series or no series, he would have
bailed on this POS show. But my breaking point was that they put
"Kane" into the body of another so that they could keep the
character if not the actor. Bridge too far.

I still stand firm that this show is now complete garbage, but
at least the writers/creator of the series was smart enough to
not move forward with the whole body swap of Kane. THIS really
irked me last week when I watched the episode. Well, in the
latest episode, they ended this whole absurd plot and actually
gave Henry Ian Cusick the hero's send off his character
deserved. I've never been more happier to see a character
floated out into space. Not because I hated the character. Far
from it. He was actually the best thing about the series. Just
happy they gave him his swan song moment.
