The 100

That's what I call a missed opportunity, to be hidden in the field with a sniper rifle, to have the element of surprise on one's side, and to take out just one guy before revealing myself... Simo Häyhä would definitely not applaud Clarke for that. The episode was traditionally full of pathetic speeches and examples of heroic self-sacrifice, so it's already such a classic The 100.

Even the fourth episode didn't deviate from the traditional template, Octavia is still the toughest of all the tough guys, Marcus always resorts to morality and shows his other side, strong motivational speeches and pathetic speeches are made, and many plans and counter-plans are being prepared. I sympathized with the bunker residents who lived in fear of food shortage, and I was glad they at least accumulated enough supplies of peroxide for Gaia to be a cool cat. (29/09/2018)

Earthlings earned a star from me for disregarding everything and defending their despotic leader with their own bodies against a sandstorm that commonly cuts through tents and destroys vehicles. It was truly a heroic feat. The whole expedition was completely useless from beginning to end and its purpose somehow eluded me. But at least I saw Octavia being dewormed. I'm glad that when my cat has the same problem, all I have to do is buy her a pill. I don't think she would like such a method. (29/09/2018)

Fine, I understood it already, Octavia is the reincarnation of Josif Visarionovich, which explains her behavior. This time the plot didn't seem as desperate as usual in my dream, but then the creators decided to once again resort to pathetic speeches and a brutal game with emotions, and they completely ruined everything again. (29/09/2018)

There are two possibilities, either things are going downhill for me, or the screenwriter sometimes took it easy because I got caught up several times when some passages really caught my attention. Nuclear danger was set aside this time and finally the production of biological weapons also took place. Even this time the emotional rollercoaster was not missing, but Charmaine Diyoza amused me, she must have a lot of guts :-) (29/09/2018)

In the case of the eighth episode, I also considered giving it a second star, but I was too disappointed by the other performances delivered by various characters. It was a diverse mixture of themes (humanism, utopia, motivation, pathos), but it was unbearable to listen to because it kept repeating the same thing as in the pilot episode. Abby keeps coming up with one medical success after another and can only regret that the Nobel Prize in Medicine is no longer awarded. (30/09/2018)

I really enjoy long speeches about the last representatives of the human race and the need to protect every life, only for the speakers to then engage in a proper slaughter. But that's how it should be, when the forest is being cut down, splinters fly. The plot was traditional, some action, lots of talk about nothing, but Murphy entertained me, he was perfect as an agitator of unrest. (30/09/2018)

The creators have once again given up on any effort and returned to ignoring logic and denying their own script. Octavia's "army" has split into two halves, and she wants to reunite them by letting Gaia fight in the arena? How will that bring back the half for whom Gaia is an icon under her command? I have discovered that Monty is apparently watering the plants with rocket fuel, and that Clarke and Madi seemingly have stealth abilities, otherwise I do not understand how they went unnoticed throughout the entire camp. And those "interesting" conversations with Octavia... (30/09/2018)

Hmm, Clarke will help McCreary, what can I say, probably just: "Good choice!" The explorers were great, the black color on the snow completely blended with the surroundings, and the subsequent marching towards the weapons smelled like a stroke of the screenwriter's genius. I figured out how the expired adrenaline injection works and I'm fruitlessly wondering where the bunker residents got those neat cubes that were supposed to represent meat (maybe from amarouns?). I wasn't spared even a wonderful romantic moment, oh well, here we go again... (30/09/2018)

Despite my rating, I have to admit that it was a very entertaining episode. The attack on the valley strongly reminded me of a May Day parade (except for the number of dead), Clarke changed sides more often than sexual partners, and Bellamy possessed a great superpower - he managed to persuade a person not to bleed to death. Bravo. The traditional last-minute rescue was once again a complete farce. (30/09/2018)

I have a feeling that Jason Rothenberg has no idea how a real battle works, not to mention tactics. Building a battle plan based on the assumption that the enemy will have as many heavy weapons as possible, otherwise we won't win, can only be done by a complete amateur. Fortunately, Robin and Hawkeye managed it, even though they had to jump into a dense barrage of automatic weapons. It's a shame that a scene where Rover received additional armor was skipped, it was quite crucial. There were also some great gestures again, and Bellamy confirmed my suspicion that he would find time for a speech even while throwing manure. The traditional countdown couldn't be missing, but Grandpa Monty amused us. (30/09/2018)

The creators of the series shamefully wasted a great opportunity for a new beginning. Granted, there was a new planet, there were new opportunities and challenges, but the creative team stubbornly insisted on their established ways. Again, there were awe-inspiring speeches appealing to humanity and love, the planet was again shared by two groups which were a carbon copy of the previous ones, but at least it solved the problem of making the cast younger. Yeah, and Ferrari, that was hilarious, I won't get that out of my head anytime soon :-D (23/12/2019)

The finale set the stage for a complete reboot, giving the creators a chance to start fresh. No surprise, they stuck to their usual formula. But hey, there were some moments that made me laugh which were clearly intended it to be taken very seriously.. I especially enjoyed the team's trial-and-error approach to testing the atmosphere of the new planet. That was a nice touch. (22/12/2019)

The plot swung between hilarious and downright silly. I’m giving it a star purely for the unintended humor. Octavia is still as rough as a cow's tongue, and honestly, I’m here for it. It promises plenty of funny moments down the line. (22/12/2019)

Now it’s crystal clear to me: instead of a reboot, the creators are just recycling their own ideas. We’ve got new Eloi and Morlocks, complete with hilarious costumes that scream low budget. I’m giving it one star for bringing back Terminator O. – this is exactly what I expected from that character. (22/12/2019)

The fourth episode was the most action-packed one yet, but I didn't laugh as much. I'm starting to get a bit creeped out by the new characters. Delilah looks like one of those eerie dolls, and Jordan, her male counterpart, complements her perfectly. (22/12/2019)

Episode five almost felt like your standard grown-up show. Alas, the creators couldn't quite steer clear of their usual inconsistencies and unintentional humor, so I settled on two stars in the end. Still, you've got to appreciate the effort. I had a good chuckle over the desperate attempt to use Josephine as a spy. The disguise was spot-on, but as we all know, being able to attach names to faces doesn't guarantee success in itself. Then there was the hilariously absurd moment of rescuing Terminator; I couldn't help but wonder how much weight pregnant Diyoza can deadlift. Ferrari was so hilarious I had tears in my eyes. (22/12/2019)

After the lively and idea-packed previous episode, things sort of reverted to the same old routine. I mainly gave it a star for Disney cleverly slipping a piece of its universe into The 100 so I got to see Darth Sheidheda:-D. (22/12/2019)

What a letdown. It felt like a recycled idea, and unfortunately, the local cast and creative crew just couldn't give it that extra spark. Even bringing back semi-forgotten characters from earlier seasons didn't salvage the poor outcome. (22/12/2019)

The eighth episode felt like déjà vu with all those inconsistencies and cringe-worthy dialogues. Poor planet Alpha didn't deserve to take the blame for Octavia's aggression, that's for sure. (22/12/2019)
