Sometimes in stories, characters will behave differently. Eventhough it confuses you, you want this.

Personally I felt like BSG held up a lot better on a rewatch. The plot definitely gets slapdash towards the end (pretty sure RDM explicitly admitted that they were winging it in the latter seasons, partly due to the writers' strike and uncertainty about whether or not the show was going to be cancelled), but overall it was good. The only thing that still sticks in my craw is at the end when they decide to complete eschew technology and start over from scratch.

I didn't watch BSG until it was over (same with LOST, actually, both shows work really well when you're not waiting and theorizing between weeks and seasons) and the weakest bit for me was New Caprica. I actually stopped watching for like a year and had to restart when I wanted to finish it. Once they were off the ground I got way into the show again. I mean it's not some masterpiece and the ending is weak, but really other than the Starbuck poo poo being silly as gently caress I was pretty happy with how it all went. The Cylons and their 'plan' never panned out into anything as big or interesting as the show wanted to build up, but none of the religious themes/etc surprised me or felt out of place. The show had weird religious stuff going on from the beginning. Good show imho.

Everytime ALIE shows up next to Jaha and starts talking to him, I just hear the musical cue from BSG when 6 would talk to Gaius

 S3 E7 ThirteenLexa tries to maintain peace within the clans; Clarke discovers an unusual and game-changing truth; flashbacks reveal a dark chapter of humanity's past.  Also, this is the The 100 thread, not the BSG thread.

Fortunately it's diverging a bit because multiple characters can see her now, and even more than in BSG it's clear that talking to her is literally just talking to the air.

I hope the 'unusual truth' is the reality behind the Nightbloods I am about 95% behind the theory that 'night blood' is a side-effect of carrying BECKIE/AI2.0 suspended in your bloodstream. It would explain why Lexa had that nightmare with earlier Commanders speaking to her - the AI inside of her was trying to communicate Further bullshit speculation: since that one Night Blood dripped her own blood all over Clarke's face, I bet some of it got into her (probably via the mucous membranes under her eyelids) and she'll eventually manifest night blood herself as the AI propagates itself within her - we'll get two AIs waging a proxy war using their chosen avatars (Clarke vs Jaha)

As interesting as this plot is, I can't help but marvel at the fact that the show has now managed to basically destroy both major sides of its fanbase. Bellarkers hate it because Bellamy is a Bad Character now, and Clexa fans... well, I don't expect they'll be too happy about tonight either. So I honestly expect ratings to tank pretty soon.

Titus owns super hard. Best new char by far. AI plot owns. I wonder what the AI chip even does for the commander, besides make them pussywhipped. I want the final showdown to be Jaha and Titus in a debate.

There's already an interview out there where Jason was basically like "GUYS, SHE WAS ON ANOTHER SHOW. It was literally impossible to get her for more than seven episodes. What the gently caress was I supposed to do, have Clarke make out with a cardboard cutout of Alycia Debnam-Carey?"

Just wanted to drop in for the first time to see the reaction to tonight's ep. I kind of admire JRoth for trolling so hard. Tumblr's freaking out. I honestly can't blame them- it feels cheap. As for myself, this kind of killed the small amount of interest I still had in the show. Oh well, time to move on.

enraged_camel posted:Actually, the problem isn't Kane. The problem is Clarke. She was the one holding Bellamy in line. His chasing after her at the beginning of the season is a reflection of his internal struggle and self-doubt. Clarke was the one keeping his rear end in a top hat side in check, and now that she's far away, he's back to his old self (if you remember how he was at the beginning of season 1, he was basically Pike). I would go so far to say he was an even less competent version of Pike. The 100 would have soon become "the dead kids we sent on earth" if Bellamy had remained in charge in season 1. He had no vision beyond, "I don't want to get killed for having shot Jaha".

Man, the writer for tonight's episode (and co-EP of the show, Javier Grillo-Marxuach) is getting dog-piled on twitter but is kinda taking it in stride, even retweeting people telling him to basically go gently caress himself.Monicro posted:It's honestly a very fair complaint, but in it's context I think their hand was kinda forced and it was done well imo. As for killing off lgbtq+ characters, fair warning I am a cis/hetero male (my only concession is I'm not white), but again, her homosexuality was not the defining trait of that character. And I don't think lgbtq+ characters should somehow be 'safe' from being killed off because that's essentially asking for gay plot armour and not productive at all. Although obviously I will concede the point that lgbtq+ representation isn't as stellar as it should be (or other non-white representation) so I completely get why a f/f ship (or whatever you want to be invested in) is something those particular fans will cling onto dear life for and take it personally if or when something like this happens that causes that to no longer exist. This isn't the first time and not the last and I am not immune from this either, but at the end of the day the circumstances involved are complicated, at least the writing surrounding it is for the most part well done and communicates nuance at that moment and promises to moving forward, and the feelings of the fandom for one and many other reasons are also complicated and obviously matter as well.
