Season 3 is unlikely to to be canceled. CW rarely cancels stuff. In fact, they renewed quite a few shows with lower ratings then the 100. Season 3 at the very least is a lock. Beyond that, we'll just have to see how the ratings fair next season.

Those British assholes bumped the thread and gave me a heart attack. But we can always BELIEVE
And really, if you read this thread and don't watch The 100 stop fucking reading this thread. The show is everything tv should be.

Agreed. Clarke is everything you want in a protagonist. Like the unisex bathrooms at AMC theatres, gender doesn't even play a role.

It's so terrible though. I just keep watching because it can't get much worse. Margaux as the antagonist? 😓

Agreed. That's nearly as good as when Starz shifted to Saturday nights for their stuff. Mondays have a fair amount of stuff I DVR but they're nothing like the Sunday night ridiculousness.
I really need to get into this show.
I were really excited about it but have only seen the first two episodes of Season 1.

At this point, I'm happy whenever a show isn't on a Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
The show absolutely rocks.

We're dead serious.
The 100 has the best world building of any show I can remember. The Walking Dead feels like a Flintstones cartoon the way the characters walk past the same damn trees over and over again. And when there is a change of scenery, like the farm or prison, youre stuck there for an entire season.
Ive seen 17 episodes of The 100 and the world feels larger and more alive than 4 season of TWD. Yes, theres a lot of forest scenery, but you feel like theyre actually going somewhere. Like I feel I could draw a map of the ever expanded world of The 100. You dont get that sense of real movement in TWD,
The characters have multiple dimensions. In many shows, like TWD, there are good characters and bad characters. The bad characters are bad because they exist to create problems for the good characters. Like the Governor. He's an evil cartoon, no depth at all. Yes, his daughter died, fuck off.
Not in The 100. In the pilot, you have the hero, the villain, the asshole, the hot girl etc etc....but then you quickly realize that none of them are trapped in their role. There are no good guys or bad guys, just good and bad decisions. There are no bad people that exist for the sake of being a bad person. Ok, maybe Murphy, but still.
The deaths arent dumb. People die. Lots of people die. But very few of them (except for in the pilot) die because theyre idiots.
In TWD, a character can be standing in an empty field with 100 yards clear in all directions and still get killed when a stealth zombie eats their face. Its frustrating. You hate the character, you hate the show, you hate yourself.
In The 100, when people die, it's rarely because they were idiots.
And the show plays with your expectations and throws them back at you every time.
Love triangle. Of course theres one. It's the CW! Damn you CW!
....but then the character says "aint nobody got time for this" and love tirangle is over. WHAT.
Or in a recent episode I watched, you have your classic scenario where someone is hanging off a cliff and the rope is getting lose. Jurassic Park, whatever, we've seen it 100 times. We know what happens. The rope fails and the people standing around jump to catch it and save the dude. Wow, much tension, many reliefs.
In The 100, the rope fails due to the guy not tying it right and he plunges to his death
Oh, and all the girls are hot.

Ivy, i forgot to ask, how's Bill Lawrence's Rush Hour script. Did you read it?
Yeah, yeah CBS bla bla bla, but i loved everything Bill Lawrence has done. And i love Rush Hour. Didn't rewatch it for a long time though.

Has the CW ever given multiple season pickups?
It just seems like such a strange thing to be worried about. "I know show X is already renewed for 2015/2016, but what about 2016/2017 (even though no other show on the network including much higher rated shows have been picked up for that season yet)".
Don't remember how it ended, but feel like decent return for The Night Shift

I dont know about the CW, but something like Lost would be cool, where they got a guaranteed 6 seasons. Or Community, where we were guaranteed 6 seasons and a movie early on.
lol
Community, guaranteed six seasons? What world was that?
It was always barely picked up, and only at the last minute, and NBC did everything in its power to kill it.
Hell, the fact that it got a sixth season was a miracle, and very nearly didn't happen except that Yahoo had money to throw around.
The whole Six Seasons and Movie thing was supposed to be ironic, because everyone was sure it was going to be cancelled in like Season 2.

If you BELIEVE enough, magic things happen.
And if my memory is correct, it was originally a reference to The Cape, and then to Cougartown...which did in fact get 6 seasons.
I'm as big a CW fan as you'll meet (JTV, Flash, TVD/TO are among my faves currently on air and I miss The LA Complex and Carrie Diaries a ton), but I really could not get into The 100. Just did not care for any of the characters at all. To be fair I only gave it a few eps though, and I'm feeling burned out on post-apocalyptic teen stories. (Maze Runner was pretty meh to me for this reason and I think we turned off Divergent only 20 mins or so in...was that worth going back to?)

That's pretty disappointing, especially after the huge lead in (it premiered to better numbers in the summer with a worse lead in). Sorry vert boil and your weird ass taste.
Yikes. The Voice is down from Spring also, but that return is rough.
P&R finale guesses? I'd be shocked if it did a 2.0, but it certainly could beat those Night Shift numbers.

End of the road for Agent Carter?
Does Parks and Rec go out with a bang?
Does the Voice sore high?

Fresh Off the Boat is doing so well. Very impressive.
needs more homoerotic subtext
Glad in re: diversity, but wish the show was better.

I've only seen the first episode and thought it was only okay. I do intend to catch up one of these days though.

I think it's getting better. I really liked last night's episode.
Haven't seen it yet. They kinda lost me with the last few before that. Just not feeling it. If it gets a ton better I'll consider checking it out again, but with limited free time I just am sticking to stuff I'm really into these days. Dropped Elementary earlier this season for the same reason. Thinking of dropping B99, too.

That's certainly fine. It's not like tv shows dissappear. Take your time.a
BTW, what didn't you like about it?
Finally checked out Fresh Off The Boat, really glad for its success so far. I would wager this moves to Wednesdays in the fall.
Also P&R finale was wildly satisfying. A great send off for a great show.

On the other hand, it's their first successful Tuesday comedy in forever...
I was thinking how they'd play around with their comedies this fall.
I wonder if would move Black-ish
Maybe do it at 8, keep MF at 9. Try to launch a new series at 8:30 or 9:30 and move either The Goldbergs or the Middle to Tues w/ Fresh off the Boat

I can already see the threat title puns when Forever is canceled
It'll have something else in common with New Amsterdam.
Granted Forever is lasting like 10 episodes longer.It just felt kinda schtick-y to me and the characters came off as one-note. Seemed like they were recycling jokes already. :-/
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade who's enjoying it, though. Just wasn't feelin' it.

It has to be fraud
Nah, at this point I think it's that it's getting so much attention now because it's growing that it's like a snowball going down a mountain. People are tuning in because people are tuning in causing more people to tune in.
And because it just creates those water cooler moments.
On social media
At work
Imagine in all areas.
A show that seems to resonate with multiple generations as well.
Okay.. it's Cookie, it's all Cookie!
yep, you can walk into work and yell "Y'all see what Cookie did last night" and shit will shut down. Plus the show can show the full 59 minutes of an episode in a commercial and still have something in that last minute that will make you say "Goddamn".
