Just watched the first 4 episodes and I'm surprised to say I really like it. It's got potential to be a great show if they carry on as they started. The only worry being, as it's a CW show, they'll ram a big old love triangle, or hexagon, into the middle of the other more interesting plot lines. I was also surprised how the jumping back and forth between Earth and the Ark didn't bother me. Usually shows like that have me more interested in one or the other but they've got a good balance with it so far. Obviously if you think about anything for more than a few seconds there's loads of questionable stuff but if you don't think it's very enjoyable.
Oh, and I also appreciate the fact they film on location for the Earth stuff and not just have them running past the same plastic tree every 2 minutes. Plus, for a story half set in space it's refreshingly light on the CGI.
The most recent episode was pretty dark and intense! Very interesting how the angry mob were all too happy to string Murphy up but weren't so happy at the thought of hanging a child. I still don't get why Murphy was banished though? He was just doing what the rest of them had done to him earlier. Charlotte jumping off the cliff was a clever way of tying that up, she's dealt with without any of the "heroes" having to make any difficult choices. I liked too how Clarke was trying to save Charlotte but at the same time let rip at her when she tried to hold her hand.
Lots of complex stuff going on, so, as I said above, I hope they don't go down the love triangle path now they've taken a few steps in that direction.
Oh and to answer some questions above... Well's lost the fingers when he swung at Charlotte after she stuck the knife in his neck. And, not this week, but the following one, the episode has flashbacks to Bellamy and Octavia on the Ark so I assume we'll find out if she was literally living under the floor in that one.

And not every CW show has one. Nikita, Supernatural, Arrow. Even the ones which centre around romance like Beauty and the Beast(unless it happened in the second season)
Yeah, it's not even the triangle aspect that worries me, it's the romance in general. It can take the focus away from other things and on a show like this with so much going on it'd be annoying to lose focus. I did see a tweet from the guy running the show though assuring someone that even though characters may fall in and out of love, or beds, the staying alive aspect of the show will remain at the forefront.Sudden Valley wrote: »I'm enjoying this so far I presume they will stop the practice of introducing characters and then killing them off in the next episode soon enough. I hope they introduce some Europeans since I thought the space station had the peoples from a number of countries like Russia and France.
I think they wanted to keep killing people off to prove that it's a serious business staying alive down there but they can't kill the main cast members, other than Wells, so it'll probably happen every now and again. Expect the guy Murphy peed on to die next week
I was wondering about the multi cultural thing too. One episode where it zooms in on the Ark you can see a Union Jack and a Russian flag on the outside of some of the pods. I don't think 2 generations would be enough to get a uniform accent going, would it? It's kind of weird they have two Australian leads doing American accents when they have the perfect reason to just let them speak with their own accents.0 -

Bit too much Ark stuff this week but I suppose it was necessary to show how dire the situation is up there too.
I know the people they killed volunteered themselves but isn't Bellamy still responsible for their deaths, or would they still have had to kill them even if they knew the kids on Earth were alive?
Bellamy's sleeping arrangements were interesting too 0 -

It's good to be king.
Well that's one way to show they're not playing around. Just a mass execution. Most shows would've had it stopped from seeing the rockets just in time. Or I expected Kane to see the rockets and not say anything.
Though was surprised after Clarke saying Belamy would do anything to protect his sister, that he didn't seem to notice her missing.0 -

^ Yes, the stuff on the Ark is as compelling as the stuff on the ground and adds to what's happening on the ground too, as the stuff on the ground affects the Ark. It's all very clever!
Showing that they've no problem offing people makes you kind of wary about getting too invested in any of the characters too
You have to think Abbey will bite it eventually, no? She's escaped being floated twice now, she can't have that many lives.0 -

Am sure her feet will get to touch Earth's sweet soil...and then she'll die soon after!:D
...probably saving Clarke...0 -

I'm going to say The CW isn't shocking me as such. I remember the first season of Vampire Diaries, they were killing off characters left, right and centre. They just have a now undeserved reputation of being for teens/teen girls. Really they're actually a go to place for pretty good genre tv.
True they still have the shows like Reign but they also gave us Nikita, gave it a good chance and a definite final season instead of just cancelling.
So in short, I like The CW.
Their shows that I watch include The 100, Supernatural, Arrow and Whose Line is it Anyway0 -

I'm just concerned this one will get cancelled before I've lost interest and wondered off by myself
I think it's the only show on air, at this present moment, that I actually think about for a while after an episode, or am intrigued enough to be counting down to the next one.0 -
