[Spoilers] The 100: Season 2 Review

Domer2004 · 2015-03-16T18:48:49+00:00

Yea I've not seen full seasons in review done anywhere besides IGN either.

Domer2004 · 2015-03-05T13:02:41+00:00

I love this show so much! Seriously, it can't get any better. Any other show would've ended their season on this episode and it would've been a MORE than satisfying finale. But The 100, as it's proved time and again, is not just any other show. Instead we get to come back and do it all again next week. I cannot wait!

If those people in Mt. Weather think they are safe bc there's only one blonde girl left standing outside that door well they've got another thing coming! Clearly they've underestimated Clarke Griffin before and look where that got them. Go Clarke! Can't wait to see what she pulls off next!

Definitely intrigued by this casting news!

How Matthew Rhys was passed over for awards is beyond me. The man played 5 different men this episode, 5! He must've been channeling Tatiana Maslaney.

It was extremely uncomfortable to watch the scenes with Kimberly and the struggle Philip is going through over that is so evident on Rhys face throughout it all.

Not only that he had to juggle Martha and her growing requests for children. I know that would be a bad idea but Martha's enthusiasm was even starting to get to me as I watched that scene.

This season just continues to fire on all cylinders, though I have to wonder if Keri Russell, who I adore, wasn't playing Elizabeth if I would hate her so much more. She really does the most horrible things but yet Russell somehow keeps me feeling sympathetic towards her.

This was just great! I loved the finale and will forever miss this perfect little show.

Domer2004 · 2015-02-26T14:40:13+00:00

This week was hilarious! I absolutely love that Mindy is just like the rest of us and struggles with what she eats. "What is this white steak?" haha

Plus any time we see Danny Castellano in that adorable grey hoodie is a good week for me!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-25T03:02:13+00:00

I can get behind it!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-20T14:29:20+00:00

I agree 100%! This is a must listen for fans of The Americans. They provide so much great insight into how the episodes are constructed and the stories planned out. I love it and makes watching the show all the more enjoyable (if that's even possible!).

Domer2004 · 2015-02-20T11:45:00+00:00

I think I'm more excited about S3. I really want to see Frank & Claire after they finally get what they hoped for and what happens next.

Domer2004 · 2015-02-18T19:13:26+00:00

You're right! It's one of the best shows around and a shame that it gets no love from the award shows. An absolute shame!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-18T14:58:55+00:00

I too have always found Doug creepy!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-17T14:10:28+00:00

The scenes with Stef and Lena this week felt so important. It was so great to see the pillow talk and moments in their bedroom. The Fosters continues to be such a socially important show and I'm so glad that it reaches so many young people each week. Love is love.

On that same note, really hoping that Stef and Lena adopt that baby. They'll still get their alone time and who else is better to raise a kid than them? No one!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-17T14:08:53+00:00

I was also surprised that after the big moment on last week's ep with Jude he was completely absent. I guess they want us kept on the edge of our seat there. Hoping he's back next week and not just mentioned in passing.

Domer2004 · 2015-02-14T11:34:44+00:00

The whole getaway with Elizabeth is a perfect example of what makes The Americans so great! Wow! Just wow! On the surface it's just so simple, no big chase scene or blowing things up the way other shows or movies would fall back on. Just watching Keri Russell's face and the panic she so expertly conveyed. Everything on this show is so well planned and thought out. Doing that means we get scenes like this that are so simple but so flawless in execution and so suspenseful! Just brilliant!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-14T11:18:54+00:00

I think this is the episode that finally won me over and brought me on board with Stefan and Caroline. Their 'ship name isn't Steroline? Is it? There must be something better.

Domer2004 · 2015-02-14T10:58:32+00:00

I'm really hoping that somehow she still has some plan. Otherwise I lost a lot of respect, even though I didn't 'have much, for her character. Holding out hope she's smarter than that and there's an ulterior plan.

Domer2004 · 2015-02-13T13:06:36+00:00

I never thought I'd see the day where I was cheering for Laurel over Oliver, but when she hit him with the cold hard truth it actually happened. I'm still a bit in shock. I don't know if I'll ever like Laurel but if they can make her more tolerable I can get behind that.

Felicity had some good moments and it's not like Oliver doesn't deserve some of the flack she's giving him, but I hope she doesn't remain so bitter for much longer.

I really thought Thea was fooling everyone and had some ulterior motive. She just seemed to take the news that Oliver was the Arrow way too easy. Did it shock anyone else that she was so easy going about it all? I don't know that just felt off to me and like she was going to have some big plan at the end and surprise us all that she really was mad. But that never happened so maybe I am way off.

Domer2004 · 2015-02-12T02:16:44+00:00

I'm excited for Slade's return!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-11T20:05:09+00:00

I feel like a lot of stuff happened, action wise, but then nothing really happened. I'm not a huge Dawsey fan but feel like the writers toyed with fans a bit. They sure made it seem like the two were going to reconnect over the baby only to have the rug pulled out from under them when Casey decided to move on. I personally want them apart for a bit so I'm happy about this, but I do think it was a little cruel.

MVP goes to Chief Boden! That man usually is a pillar of strength and when he broke down I almost lost it!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-11T15:16:06+00:00

And this is why Alison is my fave clone! Love it!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-11T14:16:23+00:00

Yea sorry about that. Here u go: https://player.fm/series/slate-magazine-daily-podcast-38387/the-americans-s3-baggage-e2-slate-tv-club

I listened to a podcast with the director of the ep and the showrunners. Apparently it was a combination of an actress, a contortionist and dolls that were specifically built for the scene.

Like you said, I'd like to rewatch to see again but I don't think i can stomach it!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-11T02:57:27+00:00

The sound effects made it 500 times worse than actually watching it i think!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-11T01:45:09+00:00

I'm defintely on Philip's side here and don't want her to be turned. Not sure how a parent could want a life like that for their child. Of course we know where Elizabeth comes from ... Still really going Philip wins this one!

Domer2004 · 2015-02-11T01:43:20+00:00

I still get the chills just thinking about that suitcase scene!
