Most if not all nuclear reactors these days are set to drop their nuclear fuel rods into a sealed lead container if anything cautostrophic was to happen preventing meltdown. And even if all the reactors did go critical at same time (probability of that are slim to none and was explained away in season 4 with horribly wrong /fake science for storytelling purpose) they wouldnt cause a pyroclastic wave accross the globe it would have been the black rain with extreme lvls of radiation killing off everything on surface/exposed, but they didnt do that because one it isnt good storytelling and two it takes away the big fire wall aka CGI effects which would have made season 4 even lamer if it ended with radioactive rain that takes away the flashyness of the show killing ratings even more.

Yes this show has made some crucial mistakes but look at other shows in comparison. Almost all shows either repeat their own storys or repeat/reskin other shows/books stories. We as humankind have run out of true original stories long ago and if all things are boiled down to it we are ajust repeating old stories with new skins/tech every few generations.

Those being critical of acting quaility, imo your just nitpicking at the show at this point. Imo its not bad but not excellent acting they fit right in middle of skill spectrum and that is fine not all actors are the top of their trade. If they were then we wouldnt know what was good or wouldnt appreciate those few actors that stand above the rest of the crowd.

Yes season 6 is their last chance to bring back old fans imo but at the same time if the go a new path that isnt horrid they might just make up for old fans leaving with new fans generated. For one I didnt start watching this show till it was already on season 3's later half and had to catch up. And just now gave it another chance and watched seasons 1-5 all on Netflix. Yes the constant end of the world/ they should all die and then a miracle solutiuon happens and everyone or only a few die does get old. And yes Lexa's death was cheap, lame and pathetic but they made up for it with the dark side that rivals GoT but w/o the constant killing off of main characters every 2 secs (reason why im almost done with GoT) makes the 100 a rival of GoT imo because the background story is good. If The 100 had the time and resources that game of thrones had it would be the kingpin of TV.

This show has so much going against it and yet on most reviews it can easily hould an 8/10 most weeks, even when the show is at its worst. Another thing this show does well at is responding to criticism. Good shows like the flash, arrow, and the walking dead (big fan) have had two bad seasons in a row before getting back on track. Season 3 of the 100 made a number of mistakes but it attempted to get back on track before the end of that season  (cutting Jaspers death). For everything bad this show does it has twice as many good things to show for it.
