The 100: What to Love about the Season 2 Premiere

Let the games of survival continue

                 Usually I have a like/dislike list but there's not much I DIDN'T like about The 100's season 2 premiere! This season promises to be darker and more intense than the first season and we have 16 episodes to enjoy this time. If there's a season 3 hopefully we get more!

Get ready....

     What to Love about the premiere:

So much for back up...

           1. First and foremost, Bellamy and Finn are alive!!!! I'm mostly happy that Bellamy is alive being that I'm a Bellarke shipper. Yep Bellamy and Finn are still alive and still fighting even when the adults come to take the wheel. I sense tension between Kane and Bellamy in the future. 

This girl will be scrubbing herself for weeks 

           2. Clarke has learned much from Bellamy as she held a bloody shard of glass to a whimpering girl's throat (her name is Maya). Also, Clarke is such a passionate mother-figure to her people that they refer to her as leader when asked and immediately flock to her when she enters the room. Clarke doesn't trust these Mount Weather people and to be honest neither do I. Being germaphobes can be more a vice than a virtue as President Dante (aptly named) said they value safety over compassion.

I must be hallucinating because you guys are speaking tongues

         3. Lincoln and Octavia are on the run but Octavia has been poisoned and is starting to hallucinate... or maybe not as we see the creepy creature stalking her in the forest. I really loved the Lincoln Memorial. It withstood the nuclear blasts while the whole of Washington D.C. lay in ashes and was taken over by nature. And I forgot that Grounders have their own language. I can't really tell what it's a mixture of but there could be some Spanish in there. 

Oh and Raven's still alive but so is Murphey...

          4. Murphey may be a murdering psychopath with the tenacity of a cock roach but even he has a sob story. Turns out Murphey's father was floated for stealing medicine for him when he had the flu (which turns out the medicine wouldn't have even helped any way) and his mother died from alcohol poisoning but not before saying that he killed his father. Anyone else hear the world's smallest violin playing? That was mean but so was Murphey half the time. However, we were able to find a place in our hearts for Murphey if only temporarily. 

Clarke. Always making friends...

         5. Have I mentioned how much I love Clarke's determination? Despite accepting her place in Mount Weather, Clarke still plots an escape plan just in case... Oh and turns out the Ark people and the Grounders are heavily resistant to Solar radiation. Even a little radiation can kill these people instantly. I guess they didn't have enough sunscreen. So yay for natural selection. Darwin would be so proud. 

I must be hearing things because there's no way there's
a baby on board!

         6. There's no way there's a baby on the Ark. NO WAY! But we did hear a baby crying as Jaha was sitting in the dark waiting to breathe his last breath. The CW execs did tell the producer that he could go darker if he wanted. So we may see a baby die (which would tear me to pieces and leave me crying in a fetal position) or maybe Jaha finds some miracle way to save the baby by getting to Earth.

Even the black guys down there have a sickly complexion

         I see real conflict now that the adults from the Ark are here. Kane completely castrated Bellamy by telling him that he wasn't in charge anymore. Kane may find it difficult to control these "kids" since they're all grown up now. They've been surviving in hell and had gotten used to the harsh way they had to live until "civilization" came down to Earth again. Would you appreciate someone coming in and putting you back at the kids' table? Hell no! And as for the people of Mount Weather, those pasty face germaphobes? As I've said I don't trust them. They have an ulterior motive. It could be they're curious about the Ark people's high resistance to solar radiation and tougher immune system but a place that refuses to let you leave? Something's fishy...       

Marcus Kane to the rescue... Back to the kids' table...
