This week on the show The 100, the CW series. Welcome to Season 4 Episode 9 of Warp my Tardis Podcast. After the usual KJ and Chulak catch up, tonight’s topic was The 100 from the CW network. The show is currently in its 6th season and releasing new episodes on Netflix.
The 100 is a story of a dystopian future where the world is irradiated, causing humanity to flee to the stars, or at least near earth orbit. The many space stations to conserve energy and resources join together to form “The Ark”. The only problem is that after 100 years, 5 generations in space… they only have 4 months of oxygen left. So to deal with the “overpopulation” issue… they eject criminals into space.
They then decide to experiment to see if the radiation on earth has decreased enough to repopulate… so they select 100 juvenile delinquents and strap them into a jump ship with auto pilot and shoot them down at the planet surface. Nothing could possibly go wrong?
The 100 season 1 and 2 both suffer from being filled with Sci-Fi Tropes at every turn. The show is loosely based on Lord of the Flies, only Piggy doesn’t get crushed at the bottom of the lake by a boulder.
The series does not suffer on high production values, is well shot and directed, and has fantastic locations. It suffers because of the story being so predictable. It was like watching lost in space and star trek in one.
Our ratings? Mr. Chulak was 6.5 and KJ a 6.6
