The 100 - Season 2

They weren't looking. They knew where it was, and fed off the other people looking for it like parasites. They robbed from every one looking for the City of Lights.

Or do you mean the family Thelonius first met after he crashed?
Both. And if they knew where the City of Light was, why wander around a minefield and barren desert if they knew where a place of plenty was? How did that oh-so-convenient boat get there, and why so little protection against the sea monsters?

I'm starting to expect some polar bears to wander by...

Holojo had been guiding and pushing Jaha to making her acquaintance.

It's possible that people only died because that was necessary to control Jaha becuase of his psych profile.

Field of dreams.
 
How old were those crackers Murphy was eating?

Where was the body of the dude that shot himself (in the stomach?!)

The AI has robots or slaves that clean up, and weirdly sustain the historical integrity of that little bunker.

I imagine the robots look as humanoid as R2D2.

Although a shock collar around a human being and a slave workforce works fine too. Although how difficult would it be for Holojo to convince the Savages that she is a god? Can she only manipulate people or out and out surgically implant memories and feelings?

Who replaced the sandwiches?

Who the fuck dragged that warhead to the City of Lights?
I was thinking of the Ray Bradbury story "There Will Come Soft Rains" (part of The Martian Chronicles) in which a house run by an AI keeps going with the normal daily routine after the family it served was vaporized when the city was nuked. There's a scene where the family dog staggers in and dies from radiation poisoning, and a robot cleaner comes in, removes the body, and cleans up. The computer keeps droning on about the next day's reminders for the family and starts reciting a poem about "there will come soft rains" (because the mom liked poetry and the computer read her a poem every night).

As for who dragged the nuke in... robots? What about those scruffy people who were also looking for the City of Light - where did they go?
Well, I'm assuming all of the other people who have gone off looking for The City of Light must be somewhere. If it wasn't other people, then maybe she has bigger drones around that can do stuff for Holojo in the outside world.
 
To have talk about the city of light far away from the city of light with reverence, someone would have to have gone there and there come back with positive feedback about the place.

Does it seem like people come back from that island?

Right now the City of light as we know it is a house on a hill.

You could fit maybe a hundred people in their "comfortably" or a thousand people in their uncomfortably.

Not a city.

Not made out of light.

Can her drones project (softlight) holograms?

Because that is Angels.

Savages obey angels.

If Holojo is the origin of the story about the city of Light, and not just a huxter that heard about this legend and decide to use it to her advantage, then she is personally resonable for the disemmination and maintinence of this "legend" and making sure that the right people come to her and the wrong people get blowed up in the mine field.

Mount Weather was barely more than 300 people.

300 people could easily live on that island under holojo's protection.

(If the Island is more than just that one house.)

Does she want to use the warhead as a weapon, or does she only have to replace the fissionable material in her run down core, because I'm sure that in 2148 that plutonium isn't available in any corner drugstore.

So I bet that means she let Murphy make it and lured him into the hatch and now she is going to entomb him in there as her pet, he will never be able to leave. Or kill himself, she learned that lesson with the first one.
 
Pick one, maybe 2, but three at the most, not more than 3.

1. She can read minds.

2. She can implant thoughts.

3. She read minds and implant thoughts.

4. She can predict human behaviour with psychology.

5. She can prod human behaviour with psychology.

6. She can prod and predict human behaviour with Psychology.

7. She can monitor quite extensively with cameras and microphones.

8. The Earth and the future as we see it on the 100 is the Matrix. A virtual environment housing human consciousness, AI that thinks it's human conciousness or copies of human conciousness.

9. She has no control over anything. %50 luck, and %50 bullshitting.

10. The missile war head is an illusion created by Holojo. Jaha could even be programmed into thinking that it really is there despite what should be selfevident. Seriously? The Ark didn't use the plutonium or jettison the parts of the missile that make it unusable as a weapon.

12. Holojo and the missile are both fantasies made up by Thelonius gone coocoo for coco-puffs.

13. Holojo is a bishop, not the King (or Queen.). A cog in a much larger hierarchy of many AI governing millions of (hundreds of?) Burroughs across the planet. (Human beings are pawns.) Maybe she does what she's told, or maybe she's an upstart trying to climb a ladder through the silicone ceiling?

14. They are really on Barsoom.

Any matrix type nonsense and I will be upset, blech.

She has some control obviously.

Okay here's the thing, how long were they walking to the city of lights? It doesn't seem long, certainly not even a month? That there is so little known, and that the grounders we see don't talk about it is weird.

I'm pretty sure if something took me a couple weeks to walk to that something would be known about by everyone else around me (if we are all walking). Heck some of them are riding. So how much time has passed.
 
We have no reason to believe it wasn't in real time running parallel to the taking of Mount Weather, especially after they lost all their food and water.

A week or two?

He left when he was afraid of the Grounders before the alliance was formalized?

(So fricking long ago. Why can't the CW release complete seasons in one day too?)

Did you watch The Royals?

Liz "I'm the bloody Queen" Hurley as the Queen of England.

It's fluff, full of sex, smut and drugs, but also a retelling of Hamlet starting well before the King is murdered by his brother.
 
No I didn't watch it, it takes a lot for me to go historical. But "I will look it up".

Yeah I thought it was a couple weeks at most. Just start walking and walk for two weeks and then try and imagine that no one in your hut at home has any idea what is two weeks distance from the hut.
 
Yes, I remember the friction when suggesting that Reign was a good idea to you.

Taylalalalala made me watch the actress who is usually a ballgown hoity Queen of Scotland prim and proper on Reign, as a psychotic human-killing alien-robot on Power Rangers the other night.

"Compare and contrast."

I'll take those massive dresses with ruffles every day of the week before I put up with those skin tight rubber trousers again.

The Royals is very modern day.

Think Dynasty with more glitter.

Maybe four different characters took time to say "The Queen is a bitch."
 
I love good soap, especially if scathing and bratty. I will have a look see. Smut and drugs are also good.

I see Melinda Clarke was on the Dallas remake, 2 episodes. I might have to check that out, if I can manage to just watch her eps.
 
Melinda played a nice girl.

It was super weird.

Dallas was all about watching JR be a bastard.

They just didn't know how to write a story with out him and it got weird.
 
Melinda was at her greatest in The O.C., someone needs to see how much comedy and machinations she brought to that role, how much fun she had with it, and give her another great big fat role just like it.
 
The poster for the Royals was a little tiny while I was trying to figure out what I was downloading that I actually spent a couple minutes thinking that Melinda was Liz Hurley or vices versus.

The girl who played Mia, on The 100, her real name is straight out of the 19fricking50s.

"Eve Harlow"
 
I'm not carving her tombstone.

I usually do between 3 and 12 edits for every post longer than 5 words, but your silly hand held device, that you use on the train-ride between work and home, does not acknowledge edits immediately, or sometimes at all.
 
I am on my mammoth PC in the lounge room so nyah.

I only said it because I already said it once before, which yes makes me a tool because that means I said it twice.
 
Murphy is going to spin out when everything respawns whenever he goes to sleep.

Human slaves or more drones but with articulators, regardless a lot happens whenever John has a nap.
