Lycus posted:Grounders believe you become Commander via reincarnation, though. It's unclear how much influence a "coup leader" can have over that without knowing the details of how they're "discovered". Am I just misremembering grounder leaders openly challenging her position before Ton-DC?

raditts posted:Yeah but she's mostly too much of a coward to look her victims in the eyes when she kills them. 99% of her kills are from either pushing a button or doing nothing when someone else pushed a button, and then she goes off looking all distant and blubbering about ~*~her burden to bear~*~. The true badasses are Octavia and Jasper. She broke the knee of the impaired grounder guy and slit his throat in like 2 seconds cold blooded.

Antifreeze Head posted:1) I thought it was a bit strange that the set dressings had the sky people growing plants (food presumably) in little pots when there is a clear abundance of land. Is it really? For me it kinda makes sense that experienced hydroponic farmers would initially opt for the semi-controlled environment of pots when they lack both tractor and cattle to efficiently work the land. It's only been 3 months since season 2.

CeeJee posted:Jasper had also been kind of gloating over over Dr. Tsing dying horribly when exposed to radiation so he knows exactly how bad a death it was. Plenty there to gently caress someone up for years to come, I'm suprised they have no therapists in Arkadia. Living on the Ark for decades would have made plenty of professional help to not go mad an absolute must. Probably died somewhere around the worlds most incompetent coup.

The first 2 episodes kinda have to be what they are to avoid the descent into madness feeling forced.

nerdman42 posted:I was oddly worried that the show would have to keep creating wacky super science antagonists until they got stale, but the fact that there's still Grounders to fight and new Ark people that have just been off doing their own thing all of last season is immensely promising. I totally forgot that they hadn't run into other Ark survivors yet. Did you miss that Jaha is creating a cyber-zombie army?

VagueRant posted:Small thing, but kinda irks me how the grounders stopped putting poison on their blades/arrows, and stopped using biological warfare. Like, you'd think the Arkers would be super loving hesitant about bringing Lincoln's wounded pal in after The Murphy Problem. Wasn't the sickness Murphy got just some common cold thing? You'd assume everyone be immune at this point.

Error 404 posted:Season 2 had this issue, and I can name a whole ton of other shows that do this too. Episode 1 of Spartacus.  Literally so bad I skip it on every re-watch. Acinonyx posted:Where Clarke has the guy under the water and doesn't finish the job was the only part that didn't work for me. If they didn't want him dead, they could have written something more believable. It's tough to buy that Clarke of all people would hesitate to kill some rando would-be kidnapper. He did something I've always wondered why no one else in fiction has done before, pretend to drown.

It was a nice subversion, fiction has pretty much conditioned people into thinking that people are dead the second they stop struggling.

Kegslayer posted:Don't quite understand the hate for Pike. He's a one-note instigator and his plotline so far has been extremely predictable. That might change but so far he's terrible. He's filling the same role the vice-captain of the guard did last season but unlike her Pike's motivations are laid plane.

esperterra posted:Almost feels like they're speeding past this stuff to leave more room for the City of Light story, or hurrying to split the arkers into two factions or whatever so they can get on to that bit already. There's no way Jaha's arrival won't coincide with Pike's death.

Astroman posted:Even so, Jaha was making some pretty tough unilateral decisions in the first episodes, floating people, sending the kids down, deciding to cut off people's air, etc. Those decisions were in the following order: The law, council decision and council decision. I think him pardoning Abby was the exception.

It's also thematically appropriate that the few remnants of civilisation that survived MAD are all too busy killing each other to rebuild into anything real. Humanity didn't learn anything.

raditts posted:I'd also think that with that many people surviving the bombings you'd have a significant number of people familiar with technology and architecture and things wouldn't revert to stone age tribal society, but once again there's that tenuous relationship between The 100 and realism. Not really though? I mean the grounder clans seem to at most be a couple of tens of thousand people and this is a 100 years after the bombs fell so they can't have been more than a few thousand at the start. So much of human knowledge is centered around transference of knowledge and complex production chains at this point that you'd pretty much have to have the survivors be a 100% tehcnicians, farmers, miners, engineers and chemists to stand any chance of keeping knowledge of the modern world actually worked surviving past the first generation. Also, if we'd put them into an age it'd be the iron age, not stone.

hollylolly posted:Lurch and Emori's brother are mutated, just like Emori is with her lobster hand. So at the very least we do know that taking the (huge) pill with the infinity sign does not cure mutations. Am I seriously misremembering this? I'm sure that his face looked normal before he got pilled.  EDIT: Ah, it was covered up. I just assumed that was the gig after the Lurch and him appeared with a notably less deformed face in the city of light. MiddleOne fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Feb 22, 2016 |
