My problem lies with the rushed storylines and the forced character arcs. It's like the show's writers introduce a storyline then brush over it or they introduce character development to simply erase it.

I'm disappointed that in an attempt to be controversial and maintain the show's popularity, that the show's creators(Not just Jason guys) has chosen to bypass many plot lines.

However, I fell in love with this show.

The 100 makes me think "What would I do in that situation" and allows me to question my own integrity and morality. These storylines, while incredibly rushed, make me think about everything I have in life and how I would react if I was forced to make similar choices and I like that. Plus there is tons of history stuff in there and I'm a history nerd so....

Also, the characters are strong because the actors make the show what it needs to be. I mean who could make a character like Bellamy so unlikable, but still make you want to root for him other than Bob? Who could get you to feel the anger and devastation that Octavia had after losing Lincoln like Marie? Who could make you relate to Clarke or Jasper, or really any other them like this cast has? Now I say "you", but I don't mean to tell you how to feel.

These things however, are what make the show for me. I wish something's would change, but that's ultimately up to the creators.
