The 100...episode 3.5 - Hakeldama
Feb. 20th, 2016 10:11 pm( the !00 spoilers for episode 3.5 )
Better episode than the last one, in some respects. And managed to renew my faith in the writing, which felt a bit offkilter in episode 3.4.
Still hands down the best science fiction series on television at the moment. And under the radar.
In part due to the channel it's on, and in part due to the subject matter.
Oh, in case anyone is interested - here's the link to the article I read:
* Bob Morely who plays Bellamy talks about his Character
* EW interview with the actor playing Bellamy.
He also states that he stays off the internet, because when he was on it during the first season - he found that various statements influenced how he viewed his character which interfered with how he played him -- which is a bad idea. So he backed off of it.
He did manage to sell the character's arc to me.
As an aside? I don't really ship anyone in this series. Nor do I care that much who they kill off.
I've watched daytime soaps most of my life, I used to character deaths. And know that only the characters that the writers don't know what to do with or feel will further the show better with their death, die. Writers don't kill characters they like. (Tyrion will never be killed off by GRRM for example, because the writer likes the character too much.) They aren't killing Clark, Kane, Bellamy, Octavia, Abby, Murphy, or Raven any time soon, the writers like them too much. LOL! (Although I did wonder after this episode if Bellamy would die next.)
