my thoughts too incl carefully calculated/rationed oxygen supply enough for 100 only
+ in the book Wells and Bell are on the official list of 100 delinquents sent to earth so none of that 'sneaking on board' malarkey ;-)
We now know it was the guard captain that got Bellamy on the ship - I'd think he simply bumped one of the original 100 off the list and put Bellamy in his place, presumably there were more deliquents than seats on the dropship.
Not sure why the captain wanted Jaha dead - presumably that will come in time. We do know that its not a conspiracy by Kane as he had a chance to take over handed to him on a plate when Jaha wanted to go into section 17.
Are we taking bets on the mysterious silent loner turning out to be the one good guy out there who proves to be critical to their survival?
Obviously the chains were to make sure there wasn't any unsupervised wandering out into the hordes of savages, rather than to ensure a continuing source of food or securing a newly-acquired valuable commodity.
That's not what I meant. It was announced there was 100 prisoners in the scheme, and we're led to believe Wells joined after he heard about it. Bellamy snuck onboard, so he wasn't counted. Whether Wells was counted as one of the 100 by those on the station is unknown. So we have 101-102 setting off from the station. Though I'm going to say 102.
2 then died on the descent. -2
Bellamy's friend got euphanised. -1
Wells was murdered. -1
The little girl suicided. -1
A couple, girl and boy killed in mist. -2
New girl arrived from the station. +1
7 dead, 1 addition.
So the count left on the ground is 96, maybe 95 depending on whether Wells was 100 or 101.
3 died last week so there are now either 93 or 92 or 91 (if Murphy is dead) left
where's the suspense when viewers didn't even consider Wells to be a major character or cared enough to be upset when he was killed?
There was no suspense; it was a surprise. Wells did seem to be quite a major character, because he was the son of the boss and the heroine's maybe-boyfriend. Nevertheless, the real shock and darkness was not so much his dying as the little girl killing him.

even on those counts it's failed judging by some of the comments below:
Most pointless twist ever and painfully set up.....it was like pulling teeth.
Kill off one of the main characters for no reason other than to play the Game Of Thrones card, anyone can die at anytime......yawn. .
and what's so shocking about a 12/13 year old knifing another teen in this day and age?
you read about kids younger than that committing more violent crimes in the UK and without the excuse of living in a post apocalyptic society
Although I don't recall Lost giving over so much time to the torture of one of the characters though
I felt that was a bit tedious - there were a couple of points during that when the girl should have used her blindingly obvious solution but that would have missed out the genius idea of spreading stuff out in front of the guy who they didn't know even spoke, never mind if that would even be English, and then asking him to tell them which one it was. For extra clever marks she could have asked him to point...
So the blue wires were an actual Chekov's Gun! Read that phrase recently, been dying to use it somewhere
and this is why it's at the BOTTOM of my list of series i'm watching .....
START PROJECT EXODUS
DON'T COUNT NUMBER OF LIFEPODS
idiot writers
the rest is actually decent, but the script needs a serious look at for a second series
Something got me after watching the last ep. (Apart from: Where the hell is Kelly Hu?)
2,000 and change alive on station
320 killed in the culling
100 (101) sent to the surface.
So, call it 2,500 at start of series. If each family is only allowed 1 child that means that each generation would be halved. Conservatively, 3 generations of Spacers (kids on ground being 4th Gen) and take into account infertility and gender imbalance, you're talking around 8,500-9,000 originals. So why are there only enough pods for 700-ish?
Am I off here? I have a headache
And. If the doctor isn't expendable due to her expertise. Why wasn't her husband who was the chief engineer when there was clearly a major problem that needed sorting asap.

Yes I Know
Last nights episode had me wondering " when did they last eat"?
At least they're introducing the grounders relatively slowly as well which is good.
Interesting to see him take a bit more role in the following ep,

I'd prefer to see it as more like Battle Royale
Apart from Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia and Finn most of the 100 are cannon fodder anyway
not really
so far they seem to be killing the black teenagers and the plainer looking white kids with less than glorious hair
in fact I knew who was likely to die in the last ep just from how they looked ;-)
Raven eclipses all of them imo
Clarke looks plain next to Raven, Octavia's low forehead disturbs me, while Bell, Finn and Jasper (+hair) all look rather similar

It's reminding me of the early series of 'Lost' before that show crawled up it's own backside

Good point. I think the shorter seasons will help for one thing.

lol US fan comment that it reminded him of the scene in Airplane! where everyone gets in line to beat up the lady - seatbelt whipping, stabbing, electrocution, etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FNkpIDBtC2c#t=18
so much for strong female characters - two clever & able young women weeping over a flabby two timing git in a banal love triangle *yawn*
the more I watch the more I find myself wishing that certain characters would just die namely Clarke, Finn and Bell
Well they looked pretty to me.
Umm...that's nothing to do with the writers. It's an actual plot point. legitimate one, that to be honest was easy to see coming.
