Do you like superheroes? Check out my CYOA Mutants: Uprising

How about weird historical fiction? Try Vampires of the Caribbean

:siren: Season Three starts January 21st on the CW :siren:
There are obviously season 1&2 spoilers in the OP


Welcome to The 100, where the CW takes all your expectations and turns them upside down, and then blows them up.


AKA The Clarke Griffin Own Zone


In Season 2 we found our intrepid leader, Thelonious Jaha, leading an expedition from Camp Jaha toward the fabled/rumored City of Light. He loses most of them in the desert when they abandon him to return back to the rest of the Ark survivors.


John Murphy remains with him, because while Jaha is clearly insane, Murphy has nowhere better to be.


Sacrifices are made by our hero.


But at last he and his followers Murphy reach dry land. What they find there...


An AI with a nuke in need of repair, and a fully stocked bunker/lighthouse where you can watch a video of the last occupant killing themselves!


Oh, some other stuff happened as well. You may remember that in Season 1, Clarke incinerates the attacking Grounder army by using the thrusters of the drop ship.



Octavia joined the Grounders and became a total badass




This guy didn't have a great year.


His son turned Lincoln into a monster, and took leadership of Mt Weather away from his dad. He then went full Evil and commenced forced bone marrow extractions on the remaining Ark kids who were under their care.


Jasper went from this ^^ to an axe wielding leader of the 47 held in Mt Weather



Raven was almost paralyzed, then she was better, then she got injured blowing up the Mt. Weather power station, and THEN they started drilling into her for bone marrow!


The adults were largely just following Clarke's lead, which makes them pretty smart. And, of course, Bellamy infiltrated Mt Weather to try to help the 47, Clarke kissed a girl and she liked it but it would never work out so she moved on, and then the Grounder army that she worked so hard to unite with the Ark survivors BETRAYED them all.


Clarke killed ALL OF MT WEATHER but she felt really bad about it.




Season two ends with her walking away from the rest of the Sky People/Ark survivors and bearing her burden (being the best character) alone.

Post your favorite gifs and/or shipping names! BELLARKE am I right? I'm trying to figure out a name for Jaha and Murphy. ;)

edit: :siren: Clarke Griffin Body Count: 905 :siren:

Sorry Lycus, cut you off when I closed the old thread.

Lycus posted:

If we give Bellamy shared responsibility for the incineration and irradiation, and take away the missile attack, would he have a bigger body count than Clarke?

Bellamy wasn't in the drop ship so he doesn't get shared responsibility for it - in fact Clarke thought she might have killed him and Finn as well when she pushed that particular button. He did fully support and help her with the irradiation though!

edit: Yep, comes back January 21st, let me edit that into the OP

What? I started watching the show because the season 2 OP had a great introduction and made me curious. All I was saying is that the OP could be more inviting of new viewers. I don't see how that makes me a fuckhead.

The S2 OP was way more spoilerly than this one. Right off the bat, it told you which main characters were definitely alive or possibly dead and where they were at the end of S1.

I remember seeing it before I decided to give the show another shot and so I knew much of how S1 ends. It was fine, knowing how things turned out helped me decide to try again.

I wonder what kind of ratings the show has to do to get a 4th season locked up. I'm scared it's going to be a pretty narrow margin.

The S2 OP was more orderly than this one turned out. :shrug: I really felt like using gifs was the way to go this year, though. In the end, however, the first post is just there to hang the rest of the thread on.

Aaand we're off to a great start! Tell you what, if we can put together a good "intro to The 100" post I'll link to it right at the top of the OP for any virgin eyes that wander in and leave a big space before the spoilers start. :)

"Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall be blind with his glory. Every ear shall be stricken death, with the thunder of his voice. Let the men, woman and children of the earth come forth and to gather and behold the power of Atom. Let those who dwell here in these favored land, attend now to the words of the prophet of Atom. Come forth and drink the waters of the glow, for this ancient weapon of war is our salvation! It is the very symbol of Atom's glory. And it serves as a reminder of the division that has occurred in the past and the resplendence of our division in the times to come. Give your bodies to atom my friends, release yourself to his power, feel his glow and be divided.

There shall be no tears, no sorrows no suffering, for in the division we shall see our release from the pains and hardship of his world. Yay your suffering shall exist no longer, it shall be washed away in Atom's glow. Burned from you in the fire of his brilliance. Each of us shall give birth to a million stars, formed from the mess of our wretched and filthy body. Each of us shall be mother and father to a trillion civilizations. Each of us shall know peace, shall know an end to pain and shall know Atom in his glory.

I urge you you my friends, come drink with me and pray. Glorious Atom, I give onto you these feeble bones. I present to your will, this frail body. I beg of you to use me as your vessel. Guide me to your brilliance, divide each particle and give relief to this rotten flesh."

I'm reasonably confident that we will see a huge spike in Octavia's kill-count this season.

In the pantheon being set up here, Clarke represents Healing and Justice, Raven represents Knowledge and Invention, while Octavia is Courage and War. Clarke's body count is high because she makes plans and gives order that have ended lots of lives, but Octavia spent the entire last season literally transforming herself in to a warrior. Soon she'll be leading her own fighting force of battle-hardened grounders and it's gonna be loving epic.

Also, it's hard not to draw some parallels between Clarke and Odin. Who famously has two Ravens, his "thought and his mind", who search the world for knowledge/information and deliver it to him.

On the one hand yes, but on the other Clarke has killed literally a hundred times as many people as Octavia so there's a lot of catchup to be done.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Man, Bellamy has killed a hundred times more people than Octavia. She really has a ways to go to live up to the family name. Although granted he was a security grunt and she was a semi-feral child he raised in a shoebox, so I guess she's punching above her weight class a bit.

Allowing the missile to hit Ton DC were the only morally questionable killings that Clarke did, and it was more Lexa's doing than hers. The 300 fried grounders were trying to kill them all and Mt Weather loving had it coming.

What I'm trying to say is Clarke did nothing wrong.

Well I didn't say she was gonna catch up. But also, Clarke's killed very few people with her own hands. Octavia may soon pass her in that department, running around with that badass sword.

edit: ^ agreed.
