thrakkorzog posted:From what I understand, the basic idea behind Trigdasleng is that it's designed to be a made up language, sort of like Pig Latin. It's a pidgin English for a survivalist group that's big enough that not everybody knows each other. So if somebody can talk to you in the same made-up language, then you're both part of the same group, and if somebody doesn't understand, then they're an outsider. Which is why a lot of English creeps into the language, and why things like skykru and and treekru makes sense. Yeah, it's basically English smacked around a bit. "Fix up" becomes "fis up" is "to heal", poo poo like that. "Gunner" becomes "gona", a "warrior". A "fight" is "gonplei", "gunplay". "English" is "Gonasleng", "Gunner slang", the warrior's language. So Polis as "Well it's Greek for city" is like I'm totally not going to think about it again after this, but it's amusing they broke naming trends when there is an entire city right on top of them that could just as easily be Polis.

At least living in Baltimore explains why they are so poo poo at running things. Before the bombs fell, all the violence led to the establishment of the Baltimore Police State. Hence the no weapons signs.

The same linguist that invented Dothraki and whatever they speak on Defiance invented grounderese. It's intended to be an English Creole. It works well because they are still using American phonemes and such so all the grounder actors sound like native speakers.

I hope Ice Nation doesn't go way up to Canada because it means they can keep ramping it up season after season with "...well now wait til you see THESE GUYS from just over the NEXT hill!" and have wild storylines with desert warriors from Kentucky or Jungle Men from Idaho or degenerate radioactive mutants of Texas or whatever. To say nothing of what's going on in other countries.

The degenerate radioactive mutants would obviously be in Jersey. It wouldn't even be from the bombs or anything. Jersey survived completely intact.

I wonder if we'll ever get a global perspective at some point. I gotta imagine there have to be plenty of places around the world that weren't completely destroyed and also maybe not everyone reverted back to tribal asshattery.

I gotta imagine there have to be plenty of places around the world that weren't completely destroyed and also maybe not everyone reverted back to tribal asshattery. In an human exchange, sure, but I figure the evil computer program was pretty thorough. And even if not, after the initial nuclear exchange there is the radiation, changes in climate, illnesses without modern healthcare, post-nuke conflicts for power. But tribal or not Polis is seemingly a pretty solid piece of civilization. I wouldn't call it completely destroyed even if things have regressed. And hey, they aren't racist/sexist! They do hate people who are born in space or inside mountains though but I wouldn't really call that racism.

They are busy fighting a war with New Zealand over rare metals in what's left of China.

Do we know what body of water Jaha crossed to get to Alie's island? I am not sure where the Dead Zone and the island are supposed to be. Edit: there is apparently a The 100 wiki, and it says Jaha touched down in Manhattan, so the Dead Zone is probably New York state? I still don't know what that makes the island, it was way too far to be most of the islands around NYC.

Jaha crashed in NYC give or take, The solar farm is Long Island, and Murphy's 5 star solitary lighthouse is Conneticut. Plus or minus some sea levels etc... war, global warming. All in the map https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=zHy9zgyJz0aw.kJx9g3kRKLfw

I'm pretty sure that the people editing the wiki assumed that because New York landmarks are in a desert in the credits, and we don't actually have any reason to think that from the show proper. If I'm correct on that, disregard the wiki. Fan wiki's are bad anyway.

I thought it was the Brooklyn Bridge, but I'm a Californian, I don't know much more about NYC bridges than you do. Or are they twins? I don't know.

Ones got 4 arches, t'others got 3. They are right next to each other. Geography wise, he either landed in Brooklyn, or the East Village.

Remember in the first season after we saw the first grounders somebody was like "who are they?" and octavia or somebody picked up a weird monkey skull and said "what are they?" The grounders are obviously people though so that really went nowhere.
