Since no one else mentioned it guess I will start. Caught the premere of "The 100" and seeing how it could apply to SF. Obviously you could go with a group returning to one of the quarantined planets and the things they find there.<div><br /></div><div>On the show I am gonna give it a chance. Of course huge plot holes have already come to light. Not Star Wars sized but still not a great sign.</div><div><br /></div><div>SPOILERS</div><div><br /></div><div>So the Ark is dying and we need to get back to Earth. Send the juvenile delinquents. This was explained by they were really just getting rid of the most expendible and that every crime committed by someone over 18 is punished by death so there are no over 18 criminials to send. Besides they don't really want to go back they just need to give the engineers enough time to fix the life support so really just need to cut the population down enough.</div><div><br /></div><div>BUT supposedly they didn't overcrowd the Ark when they first took refuge on it. They limited everyone to one child and if caught with more than one you were killed. So after 100 years on the thing and depending on what you consider a generation (20, 25 or 30 years) they should only have 50% to 25% of the original population left. Given their joy of throwing people out of airlocks (more so than the BSG people) and the dangerous of living in space it should probably be lower.</div><div><br /></div><div>They have plenty of guns around. Why they have projectile weapons on a fragile space station is one thing but after 100 years how much ammo is left? How good is that ammo? And why is it so easy for people to get hold those guns.</div><div><br /></div><div>The title also proved confusing. They decided to send 100. But on guy snuck on so it as really 101. Then two guys died on the way down and another later so they were down to 98 after 24 hours showtime. Thinking a better title was needed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh and they of course have the barely clothed women running around to get the guys to watch. Of course if you remember that none of these women have had an 18th Birthday yet, then for someone my age it was more cring factor than stare factor.</div><div><br /></div><div>Any thoughts?</div>
