The 100

I've taken a break from my X-Files rewatch to do some streaming on Amazon Prime instead, I've been feeling like I've really not been getting enough use out of it considering the cost of it. (This is why I don't have Netflix lol, I always just end up stressing myself out over am I watching enough to make use of my subscription!) I've just finished

Ugh, Finn. I really disliked Finn. I didn't like him from the start but when we found out he was still with Raven even though he'd spent every second on Earth trying to hook up with Clarke, I was just done with him. I also really loathe Murphy.

RAVEN!!! Raven is my FAVORITE! I also adore Abby and Octavia and Clarke and most of the female characters. I didn't like Bellamy much in season 1 but he really grew on me in season 2. And Lincoln's pretty great.

Relationship dynamics - I adore the friendship between Clarke and Raven. The show easily could have made them hate each other because of the Finn thing, but instead, they became friends. So awesome. I also love Clarke's complicated relationship with Abby and the Octavia-Bellamy dynamic.

I remember how shocked I was when they killed Wells. I never saw that coming, which I guess was the point, but I definitely think killing him off so soon was a mistake. I thought his character had a lot of potential and then he was just gone.

I liked season 1, especially toward the end, but season 2 is much better. Season 2 introduces a couple of really fascinating characters and gives quite a few of the main characters really strong arcs.

Yeah I didn't like Finn from the start either lol, he came across as the annoying wise-cracker in the pilot when he was encouraging the other kids to stand up (and from what I remember a couple of them died because of that?), so I was pretty surprised actually when I realised that the show was going to present him as the main male lead. He just never had that kind of presence to me?

And Wells did seem like a character that they could have used more as he came across as the shows best example of a "good guy" early on, it seemed like they were trying to push Finn into that role later instead, but it didn't really work for me...

Season 2 does sound like something that I might end up checking out after all, if the characterisation is strong that year and there are some good character arcs, that's really all I need to get invested
