| The 100 on Wednesdays at 9 pm on The CW |
So I was going to watch something on Amazon but I remembered that The CW was premiering their new show The 100. So being a curious viewer I decided to watch and tweet live as the Pilot aired.

| Even I know how radiation works |
The episode started pretty fast with only a short description of the situation then immediately rounding up all the teens like cattle onto a tiny ship headed to Earth which for close to a century has been radioactive (Hint, Hint World Leaders...). By the way I was wondering when "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons would play during this episode. Would have been disappointed if it didn't play.

| So far not a great start |
Symmetric songs aside, the characters have interesting chemistry. For some reason I want that blond girl Clark to hook up with Lord of the Flies instigator Bellamy. I don't know why but I see some sparks there. I know who I'm shipping this season! Then there's the lead female protagonist who has a boy's name: Clark. Is that as in Lewis & Clark? If you're going to give your daughter a boy name can it be Alex? I say that because Alex means "defender of man" but then again that would be predictable and watching this episode I can see that like my favorite show in limbo (Almost Human) the show seeks to break away from the pack. Certainly it's done somewhat better than Star Crossed premiere but let's be fair, that show aired during the Olympics which is TV suicide.

More on characters and names, Kane or Cane, however you'll choose to spell it on Twitter, will be our main antagonist. While the kids on Earth rage against the machine, the proverbial Cain (who doomed the human race according to the bible) will be doing some raging on the space station that is losing life support. Survival of the fittest is this guy's motto as he mentioned becoming the new Adam and Eve to his girlfriend who doesn't seem too happy about their relationship in either case. Kane does know about the incest factor of that story right? We all held our breath when Kane was interim Chancellor as Bellamy shot the current one (who is Wells's father and I'm guessing Clark's other love interest in her love triangle with Finn). Luckily the Chancellor is a trooper and stopped the execution. Now we all don't want Kane to sit in the boss's chair but we can expect him to still cause some trouble. I suspect that he wants the experiment the kids are doing on Earth to fail so he can kill 100s of people so they have enough life support for a remaining few.

| Our show's suspicious character: Bellamy |
Earth has become an alien planet, which sort of makes this sic-fi show even more exciting. Octavia (this show's mean girl or Clark's frenemy) almost gets eaten by a weird eel-fish monster (it's always the horny teenagers who die first in a horror movie) and apparently there are hints of apes having evolved to become human intelligent to the point of neanderthal-like behavior. By that I mean throwing spears at people. Let's not also forget seeing that deer with TWO, count 'em TWO heads! Ewwww! Is it still safe to eat?
