Dad, investigating TV channels: Ooh, Food Network! I've never had that.

Dad, incredulous: It's just about food!
More on The 100! (I should mention that I'm not being too cautious about The 100 spoilers, because as far as I know not many of you watch it and those who do watch it are further ahead than me; I'm mainly just cutting talk of specific deaths. If any of you intend to watch and want to avoid learning details like who's still alive in later seasons, though, let me know and I'll start being more careful.)
I've started the third season of The 100 (up to episode 3.03), and I think Jasper's hair is the most tragic death yet.
Important question: did Kane and Abby get together in the three-month timeskip between season two and season three? Their interactions in episode 3.01 felt more intimate than usual, and they were standing really close, but I can't be sure!
Having seen a couple more episodes now, I don't think they got together. I think they just have a very close partnership and also Kane really wants to make out with her. ('No matter who wears the pin, we're in this together,' he says in episode 3.03, putting a hand on her arm, and I suspect he may be trying to make a move, but they're interrupted by Indra!)
A lot of The 100 pairings follow the formula 'they have a couple of scenes together with some contrived furtive glances and then they make out', so Kane/Abby, where they have loads of scenes together and loads of chemistry and persistently don't make out, really stands out to me. The fact that he nearly executed her and then they made the collective decision to kill a whole bunch of other people doesn't hurt either, I'll be honest. The best sort of pairing.
I keep going 'Kane/Abby seems an unexpectedly cute pairing for me to be shipping' and then 'oh, right, I forgot it's built on a base of murder'. Just like every other pairing in The 100.
(I said in my last entry that all my The 100 ships were between people who shared responsibility for many deaths, but afterwards I thought 'wait, I forgot, I'm also sort of fond of Monty/Jasper, they never committed mass murder together'. And then I remembered one of them was involved in a mass murder that psychologically destroyed the other, which is also pretty good.)
