This episode of A Bit Much has some heavy stuff, which is saying something, considering what is typical for The 100. We talk about major character deaths, and the way that these characters' sexual and racial identities complicate their deaths. We discuss the echoes of previous authoritarian leaderships from the show. We witness how ALIE "gets around" free will through coersion. There's some cool spy stuff though! So it's not all bad! 

Content warning: we discuss an instance of dubious consent to sex from 54:41 - 56:07.

Everything kind of takes a turn for the worse here. Clarke convinces Lexa to take a controversial stance, Raven joins a cult, and Bellamy makes some deeply out-of-character choices. On the bright side, there is a really cool trial-by-combat scene.

War among the clans is impending, the threat of a creepy AI is spreading, and the brief peace enjoyed by the Arkadians seems to be crumbling. There's a lot going on at the start of season 3, and most of it does not bode well for the future. We discuss a musical cameo, the casual inclusion of queer representation, and a disappointing use of a new character.

As season two concludes, the characters must all grapple with what their moral standards are and what they're willing to do to protect themselves and the people they love. We discuss trust and betrayal, guilt and innocence, and the significant impact of Clarke's personal relationships.

Things heat up as the Arkadians struggle to maintain an alliance with the grounders, and life in Mount Weather becomes increasingly dangerous for the 47. Clarke tries to become more cold-hearted. Murphy decides to believe in something, for once. Jasper and Monty step up as leaders and have some badass moments.

Welcome to the Finn Collins show, where we talk about the highs and lows (but mostly lows) of Finn's character arc. Other topics of discussion include zombies, badass power struggles, and Book!Octavia's bad habit of nearly being murdered.

The second season starts in true The 100 fashion - messy, complex, with heavy themes and high adrenaline. The book also gets more complicated and messy, but not in a good way. We discuss the clash of different societies, the making and breaking of alliances, the unfortunate sacrifice of character in service of plot, and just how freaking annoying Jaha is.

As the first season comes to a close, tensions raise on all sides - matters of personal drama, warfare, and survival all become more urgent. We meet new characters and are reintroduced to old ones. Characters are put in increasingly tough situations and make drastic choices. The world of The 100 expands as we learn more about the ground and its various inhabitants - but we end the season with more questions than answers.

In this episode, Megan and Jenna look at the middle of Season 1 (and a few book chapters, which are...inconsequential). We discuss the introduction (and conclusion) of a new villain, the parallel between Bellamy and Kane as they begin feeling guilty over their actions, and the profoundly bad foundation for the relationship between the 100 and the Grounders.

In The 100, it's 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse, and the only known living humans live on a space station called the Ark. When once again facing the threat of extinction, the leaders of the Ark decide to send one hundred juvenile delinquents to the surface of the Earth to test whether it is habitable yet. Intrigue, death, romance, politics, and hijinks ensue.

Megan and Jenna look at the start of this story and discuss unnecessary kissing, hope versus practicality, and descending into mob rule.
