My unpopular opinion? I never liked Tim Riggins right from the beginning until the very end. It also annoyed me that the show hinted that he and Tyra were going to be together in the future because I never felt that either of them were that happy together and weren't just using each other for one reason or the other.
-
I liked that even though Meredith and Arizona are nowhere near being each other's person, as soon as Meredith realized what was going on she immediately went looking for her.
De-lurking to say this was probably the best bit of the entire episode and I wish we had seen more from them wrt dealing with all of it. One scene was not enough.

Agreed. Bring back Killa Gorilla!
That gorilla. I laughed out loud when it first appeared. I might change my mind about the mutant animals if they integrate them better into the overall story.

No to Iggy. Please and thank you.
I like the Missy suggestion so I'll add my vote to her. (Is Foxy Brown still a thing? Because I wouldn't mind her either even though she's not a pop star)

Having started watching The 100, Clarke the 18 year old character from that show is more ruthless than Arrow's version of Ra's. When she says she's says she's going to kill someone to get her enemy to listen to her, she actually does.
OT: Welcome to The 100 Sakura12! It features a lot of kickass women who don't get lobotomies or fridged for the men in the show (so far).
As for Arrow's Ra's? Give me Liam Neeson any day of the week. This Ra's is weak and not at all menacing. One of the many things that make this season of Arrow completely uncompelling.

Fun-ish question for you guys... What needs to happen in order for Arrow to become a lost cause to all of you (if it already isn't)?
My answer is Oliver gets a goatee+Laurel gets her canary cry. And/or Felicity or Diggle die or leave the show.
Stopped watching it live after Sara died. I periodically check in here to see if there's anything worth watching so I watched the Felicity episode but that's about it.

I'm going to have to watch this again once it's over because I can't keep up!

ALS isn't going to kill this man? Ugh, fine hand me a gun and I'll do it!
Cookie and Anika's fight had me rolling.
Oh jeez.. I wonder how many viewers just went to Urban Dictionary to define Batty Man?
Not me! Sometimes the slang in this show goes over my head but I know what that means.

Well, this has certainly been an...illuminating read. If this BTS drama is one of the reasons why the quality of the show has dropped then I hope that AP's exit might get those creative juices flowing again. I doubt it but one can hope.

- Better writing. Do not spend almost an entire season developing something and then blowing it up in one episode. Make me feel like I wasted my time.
- Less Raven torture pretty please.
- Less "very special shocking moments" (like the gorilla ottoDbusdriver mentioned). The seasons are only 16 episodes at most. We don't need that many filler episodes.
- Don't keep Clarke away from the main group for too long. 1 or 2 episodes (like in Buffy) to soul-search should be enough.
- I want to say less Jaha but that's not going to happen. However, since this is a wish list I'll add it anyway.
- Last but not least, make it more of ensemble show again i.e. can we not separate "The 100" so much again? Give them story-lines sure, but keep them in the same place.

Your definition of bad writing is the male and female lead getting together? Seriously?
No. My definition of bad writing is spending most of the season developing world and it's people only to chuck it all away in one scene. I know everyone won't agree with me about "the deal" so it's a YMMV situation.
I don't really ship, in fact I get more enjoyment from a show when a popular shipping choice doesn't happen. All I meant was that to would be nice to have a show where the main leads (male and female) don't end up in a relationship. Does it mean I'll stop watching the show if it happens? No. I will however, stop watching the show if we keep getting plot-holes like the one in Part 1.
I'm straying from the topic of this thread but hopefully I've made myself a little clearer now :)

This show is definitely targeted at teenage girls. Lets not pretend its not. They aren't targeting adults with this writing.Not to mention its an alloy entertainment show. It probably would be a higher rated show if they made it more of an ensemble and didnt drag one plot the entire season. Also the emmy was for special effects not acting or writing. And it doesnt have much critical acclaim either.
I agree with you here In2You which is why I think Bellamy & Clarke are the OTP of the show and will eventually get together. It would be nice for once to not have the male lead and the female lead end up in a relationship but this is the CW. Romance and poor writing tend to go hand in hand with the network and this season's finale showed me that The 100 is not the exception to the CW's bad-writing trope. I guess only Jane The Virgin will fly that flag :)

I DO NOT LIKE LUCIOUS.
I thought my dislike for him couldn't get any worse but last night's episode was the absolute limit for me. A fatal disease may be too good for this man.

My take as posted on the AV Club:
Season Grade: B
Season Finale Grade: C+The overall season was a huge improvement from S1 but what stops this from bumping up to an A for me is the lack of pay off regarding the Grounders. This is a discussion that's been going on since last week but I still maintain that the deal was a poorly written and poorly thought-out plot which soured my view a little of this season as a whole.
The finale itself was...predictable and compared to last season's finale, not as good. Was I surprised by Clarke's decision to kill all those people? A little but I knew that would be her choice in the end since she was out of other options (and credit to Eliza Taylor's acting for keeping me invested in Clarke through everything this season). The rest of it felt like they were going through a check-list of things needed to be done so they could move forward with S3. Lincoln escaping to help his love? Check. Octavia having her moment to shine? Check. Ending the Mt Weather story indefinitely? Check. Raven being hurt but somehow miraculously healing? Check. The only unpredictable thing about this episode was Cage actually mourning his father's death.
I'm still underwhelmed with the Jaha's story. An AI? Really writers? The best thing about this B plot was and probably will continue to be, Murphy.
So now Clarke is off into the great unknown with nothing more than a gun? Hasn't it run out of bullets yet? What is she going to do for food and shelter? Tune in next season!
Kinda disappointed no major character died, and that all remaining kids are still alive. I was hoping for more casualties on the Arkers side. Not that the show didn't go in a dark place by having all Level 5 anihilated by radiations (including kids and all), but I feel more characters could have died.
Me too. I was hoping Jasper would join Maya in death (even though I love his relationship with his goggles).

Walking Dead's spinoff greenlit for 2 seasons!
http://www.tvline.com/2015/03/09/walking-dead-spinoff-premiere-date-season-order/
Ah well. Happy for the actress but I'll miss Lexa.
-
Aww man, just when I was beginning to root for you Lexa.
No commentary from me this week. Need to see Part 2 before I make any conclusions because something does not add up.

Why Netflix? Why should people have to pay for popular series?
They don't have to but they may have to if the network goes under. I know that Netflix Canada has the rights to The 100 (apart from it being broadcast on the CW of course) so it's not a stretch to see Netflix picking it up completely.
My two cents: if the CW goes under, I'd like The 100 and Jane The Virgin to find new homes pretty please. The rest I'm neutral about.
-
Caity Lotz was told she didn't have the right look for the CW so what they are looking for is bland with abs for the men and stick figures for the women. Then they like to recycle their actors to every new show when their show fails.
Is this true? Because if it is...I'm seriously side-eyeing the CW.

I'm a little...befuddled by this news. I like Caity Lotz and I'm happy she's getting a regular gig (although I would've preferred if it had been with Marvel since MG et al didn't seem to care enough to do her character justice in Arrow). How exactly is this gonna work? If she comes back as Sara Lance/the Canary the obvious comparison thing with Laurel they tried to circumvent by killing Sara in Arrow will be back in full force. Since I stopped watching Arrow, I would definitely be front and center in watching CL's Canary over KC's but would the EPs really test their audience's preferences like that? Because I have a feeling it wouldn't end the way they'd like.
I'm neither here nor there about BR so I guess I'll be watching this purely for Caity.

Also wanted to say I had a little chuckle at Octavia's war cry. It was bad but also endearing.

I haven't watched this show since 3x02. I have another CW sci-fi/action show to take up my Wednesday nights (seriously, people need to start watching The 100 if you aren't already. A slow-starter but well worth the wait!).
After seeing what they did to Sara to further BC: Laurel's journey, I knew there was nothing these show runners wouldn't do to push Laurel and more importantly, other superheroes, in our faces all the time whether we want them or not. Olicity? Pure distraction at the beginning imo and now poor Felicity is being used to setup Ray/The Atom.
When a show becomes something I actively hate, I let it go and reading the comments since that episode make me fell better about dumping this trainwreck.

So happy to get more Raven on screen, sadly it was tempered a bit by Wick since I dislike the actor. Her reaction after they had sex was a nice emotional beat that showed her grief over Finn and how she is (not?) dealing with it all at the moment. Sex seems to be something Raven will use to distract herself or feel a human connection when she feels adrift. It was also just great to see the science/engineer side of the group contribute towards the war, instead of it all being about the warriors and fighting.
I'm not on board with Raven/Wick either since Raven has been all "woe is me" about Finn. We'll see where the writers are going with this.
Jaha is a character I can't muster any interest in at the moment, and I really dislike the whole Faith theme he got going. Murphy on the other hand has been growing on me this entire season, and his running commentary made the desert scenes so much more barrable. However it made no damn sense for me that Jaha was finding mines with a stick. Like shouldn't he at one point trigger one? They are meant to be pretty pressure sensitive so poking them with a stick just seemed a wee bit suicidal to me.I'm also not even remotely interested with Jaha or the City of Lights story. The only reason I watch is to see what Murphy's up to.

Lucious is the worst. Can he just die of ALS already? There is not a bone in his body worth redeeming.
He really is the absolute worst!
I knew it, i knew that Jamal was going to come out to the song. I loved it. I was jumping up and down, cheering him on. I loved the pissed off look on Lucious' face. Go Jamal! Tell your truth. Don't try to please your homophobic asshole father. Fuck him! Oh, I also loved that he found a new boo and is trying to be a father to the little girl.
Poor Andre. He does all the right things, but cannot please Lucious. Andre and Rhonda are cracking. I had a good chuckle when she threw up in her plate.
The preview for next week looks crazy good.
I was here for Jamal (and everyone else) basically saying FU to Lucious. And yes, please keep showing him interacting with that little girl, she is the cutest.
Andre and Rhonda are something else. They do love each other but it's nice to see the cracks here and there. Andre has me so worried for him now with that gun scene. Poor guy :(
OMG so much happened! I love this show, and Danny Strong, you magnificent bastard, well done!
Yes to this.
Time to download 'You're So Beautiful'. It's so catchy!
S05.E02: The House Of Black And White
in Game Of Thrones
De-lurking to say: and THIS is why we're still in Meereen with Dany. IIRC her main reason for staying in Meereen was to figure out how to be a ruler before heading off to Westeros and trying to rule them. She may not be going about it the right way (how can she when this is her first time ever ruling a city and she's never had the education given to those in nobility on how to rule? It's going to be a lot of trial and error there) and she definitely needs all of her dragons back, but I see the sense in sticking her story there for the time being.
*goes back to lurking*
