So, we had two pretty distinct halves of an episode there, and I liked the second half a lot more than a first! Once again, I got spoiled, although this one was basically just twitter being twitter, because I was … Continue reading The 100 S5E13: “Damocles Part Two” Review

Man okay well. That sure did happen? Look, for various reasons, I had pretty low expectations for this episode, and I’m still kind of like, yikes that was rough. Maybe this is just me? I don’t know, I’m tired and … Continue reading The 100 S5E12: “Damocles Part One” Review

I feel like I should have more to say about this episode, but it felt like–a breather episode’s evil twin, maybe? It’s not as if this was a relaxed good time, but it was an episode that moved a bunch … Continue reading The 100 S5E11: “The Dark Year” Review

So, in a lot of ways, this episode kept us exactly where we were. Which I don’t mean as a complaint, exactly. Things did move forward. But the dangling threads from last episode mostly resolve themselves without making a lot … Continue reading The 100 S5E10: “The Warriors Will” Review

Hoo boy. So, Shallow Valley! That was pretty straightforward, albeit not in a bad way. Last week, McCreary showed up looking like he wanted to fight Diyoza, and this week, he does. The highlight of this plotline is really Murphy, … Continue reading The 100 S5E09: “Sic Semper Tyrannis” Review

Wow, that was a lot. First off, an apology: last week, I made fun of Bellamy for not having good plans, and this week he came up with a solid plan that will probably not end well, but at least … Continue reading The 100 S5E08: “How We Get to Peace” Review

Alternate title for this episode: That was way harsh, Tai. To be fair, as with Cher being a virgin who can’t drive, the harshness is all pretty valid. Everyone’s calling everyone else out, sometimes for things that happened a long … Continue reading The 100 S5E07: “Acceptable Losses” Review

So The 100 is very much back on its tribal nonsense. I would have expected this to displease me, but I found myself really enjoying how things played out in this episode. Historically, I have found the show’s community-building, especially … Continue reading The 100 S5E06: “Exit Wounds” Review

Okay, I’m fighting off illness and kind of out of it, so I’m just gonna go through this by plot line and not try to remember what happened in what order, because I 100% do not know. So let’s dive … Continue reading The 100 S5E05: “Shifting Sands” Review

Any time Kane does anything even remotely dangerous, I remember the time he went out in the rover in the season three premiere and ran into trouble and my best friend just yelled, “NO HE’S AN INDOOR CAT.” Which doesn’t … Continue reading The 100 S5E04: “Pandora’s Box” Review

And we’re back. Okay, it’s the third episode, we were already back. But we had been (mostly) playing catch-up before. The premiere gave us some action after what we saw at the end of last season, but now a ton. … Continue reading The 100 S5E03: “Sleeping Giants” Review

Hello friends, are you ready to rumble? You better be, because we’re picking up where we left off, but not when we left off. It’s time for Octavia Blake’s Subterranean Murder Kingdom: Origins. Which is, I’ll admit, a name I … Continue reading The 100 S5E02: “Red Queen” Review

Welcome to a new season of Post-Apocalyptic Murder Teens Twenty-Somethings! It’s been six years and seven days since last season ended, and we’re picking up right back where we left off: death and vague posturing about morality. Okay, not quite, … Continue reading The 100 S5E01: “Eden” Review
