@Sparkstoaflame. I am sure that what you want to hear is expressed very eloquently in all those links. However, if that was the whole picture, you wouldn't be posting it on some blog on wikia, but on wikipedia.


 * "Why JRoth's absolutely SHITTY handling of the fallout matters: ...Because it was shitty handling. Look, it's right there in the title. Need I say more?"

Praised be upon the blessed title, but maybe he didn't want to spoil the next season before it came out?


 * "Jason Rothenberg and friends have been trying to sell The 100 as a show where anyone can die, and.."

Really? I am pretty sure it was their sale pitch from day one.


 * "that this mentality is exactly the issue with 90% of media consumption today"

That is not a mentality, its basic marketing and entertainment. Your main cast is selected for your main target audience. The main theme had been planned from the start. Becca who create a god, who took the image of its creator, who wiped most of world clean except the Ark, a world where women have traditionally leadership roles ...too long to cover here... Clarke is awesome.

Anyway, generally I agree with most of the things you wrote (those tropes aren't new). But we will have to agree to disagree about this show, which I think done better than most and addressed many social issue which is better then the usual superficial representation lip service.
