Also interested in the 100!

Re: Should I watch/read this?

It has a big thing for decompressed story telling. If you enjoy having things stretched out as long as possible, and episode after episode or reaction shots and people arguing in order to avoid advancing the plot too quickly, then go for it. Be warned, there is only about three episodes worth of old-style episodic tv's worth of plot drawn out of an entire season.

Re: Should I watch/read this?

[kallanda_lee]

Not sure, but it seems like an interesting concept to try out.

It's not bad. I got a little flaily watching, because i get *so annoyed* with the 'slap some mud on it, we're good' kind of TV medicine, but! on the other hand, people who got smacked, knocked out, shot, knifed, whatever - STILL HAD INJURIES in the next episode. They actually had wound continuity, which was amazing.

I could argue with the characters all day about dumb shite they did, but i also enjoyed it, there are some cool characters, the world-building is fun, and the show has a Wiki page for the languages they made up, which is awesome.

Give it a go!

What show are you watching? If anything The 100 has been one of the fastest paced shows I've watched in recent years. Every episode contributes to the plot, they are constantly changing up the status quo. And yeah, people argue, but that's because one of the central themes is government (anarchy vs order) and what makes effective vs good leadership.

Re: Should I watch/read this?

The 100 could have wrapped season 1 in five episodes, and season 2 in a two parter if they stripped out all the deliberate false starts and sidetracks. Each episode is mostly timewasting to get to a setup for a cliffhanger, which is defused as soon as the next episode starts.

There is no examination of what makes for good leadership. The only thing the show says you need to be a good leader is be called Clarke, the script will endorse you in all sorts of increasingly unlikely ways if you are.

Re: Should I watch/read this?

[othellia]

By your logic ALL shows can be reduced to 20% of their run time by taking out all the shit that actually happens. Especially what you refer to as "old style episodic tv."

Sorry you don't like character development? For me, the slow descent into Lord of the Flies madness culminating in episode four with EVERYTHING IS CHAOS OH SHIT WE NEED SOME RULES AND LEADERSHIP was one of my favorite things to watch ever. And that doesn't even begin to touch on Bellamy Blake's gradual redemption as well as the war with the Grounders.

As for season two, I high doubt you could pack the introduction of the Mountain Men, Clarke's escape from Mount Weather, Finn's stuff, Lincoln's stuff (which is the reason the alliance was able to happen), the actual alliance, Clarke's "Bad Decision" TM, Bellamy's infiltration, and then the ACTUAL TWO PARTER FINALE into a single two parter. And then Murphy and Jaha's grand adventure was just plain fun.
