The 100 - Season 3
Apr. 24th, 2016 10:48 pmWell, I'm all caught up on The 100 now. And...this shows writers really like to kill off characters in sadistic ways. Granted it is a dark post-apocalyptic series, so sort of goes with the territory. Star Trek, it ain't. More similar to Walking Dead, sans the zombies and horror show gore.
It's gory, just in a different way. What I don't understand is why I have no difficulty binge-watching this series, but the violence in The Americans, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead and the Blacklist bothers me?
At any rate, there were a lot of character deaths in the last six episodes. I think someone died, sometimes two people, in each episode. It got to the point in which, I was starting to yell at the tv. "Noooo, don't kill off that character, I like that character, you dimwit, kill off that other character instead. Stop it with the killing of the characters already...seriously this is getting annoying. Okay, are you going to kill off all the characters, because than we'll have no tv show?"
I think they killed off ten characters. I lost count. Actually, maybe not ten. Anyhow, we're back down to a small rag-tag team of fairly young traumatized heroes. (Seriously, who wouldn't be?). I do find it interesting that they only kill off the supporting characters that the writers apparently have grown tired of, and whose death seemingly serves to further the other characters arcs and plot better than their continued existence. It makes it easier for me to predict their deaths.
I'm hoping last week's episode wasn't the season finale. I don't think it was. I think that's in MAY.
I'll be annoyed if it was the Season Finale. [It's not, I checked, theres at least four more episodes to go. Next one is entitled Join or Die. Yay!]
( Spoilers for the last six episodes, or basically all the episodes up to last week )
