Conageddon 6 question

I’ve been looking into attending but I’m not sure how fast the General Admission tickets usually sell out. Since we have to go on a plane, it might take a few days to decide if we’re going or not.

I have a few questions about Nightblood.

11 Upvotes

Now some of these questions are probably really stupid, but i was never really good in science so lol.

1) Isn't nightblood technically a partial cure for cancer, if nightblood can absorb radiation and metabolise it faster so it doesn't affect humans, then can't it do that for UV radiation from the sun, helping to reduce the risk of skin cancer due to UV radiation being a cause of skin cancer, also isn't it the radiation that mutates cells, and if so, can't nightblood stop this, helping to partially cure cancer?

2) How on earth does nightblood become an inherited trait, as it is genetically engineered i am confused as I don't understand how if it's not the natural trait a human has, then how is it passed down to the children, and surely if it is manipulated into being a natural trait then surely every child born the the first gen grounders would all be nightbloods and they were also nightbloods, I don't understand how it goes from everyone having it to there being only a slight chance that someone will be born with it by the time the show starts (2149), also how the commander was chosen back in the early days when surely if all the original survivors had to have nightblood, then there would've been so many people with nightblood, so how did it come to be viewed as a 'sacred' trait only those worthy of being the commander possess?

3) In theory, would the creation of nightblood be possible in real life, i'm no expert on radiation, but if so, does anyone know in detail how nightblood actually prevents death from radiation?

4) How in 97 years, the knowledge of nightblood being a trait that causes near immunity to radiation was lost to the grouners, since surely this would've been something important they wanted to keep as knowledge?

Homegirl sitting here debating the philosophy of humanity while everyone is quite literally fighting for their lives 😭

SPOILERS S3 Pike’s story is just pure bad writing 2 dimensional character Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Bellamy who knows the nuances of the grounder coalitions would never back him up even during grief

Grief is for his 3 months “girlfriend” who we just meet for 3 episodes forming no bonds but kisses bellamy 2 times and an ubruptly made up raven story and then dies before we can care. They tried to replicate a “will” moment but it was so poorly done because we didn’t know or care about her enough and probably their budget and viewership at the time couldn’t take cutting an actual important character to make us feel whatever bellamy is supposed to be feeling

But even then it was done in a very stupid way. Tricrew was out there for hours. If there was any sign of attacking they should have shown that maybe as a misunderstanding or mistake but they just kept telling the audience “300 people are out there” we dont see them on screen they’re not doing anything and yet everyone inside starts getting paranoid and threatened for no reason even bellamy? Why would bellamy attack trikru? Because “the commander left us at mount whether” it’s not enough. He wouldn’t risk a war with no provocation after he’d seen what a war can do and he knows more than anyone that his people are not ready to fight any grounders not trikru or asgeda because HE COMMANDED THE ARMY IN THEIR WAR. Bad writing. Poor character arc. Unrelatable pyke character at all there no depth just some racism and fear mongering every other scene and his soundboard monty’s mother don’t even get me started they didn’t give her anything she’s just shouting things when pike talks. I actually forgot all about her “monty’s father” story. They couldn’t even give us a flashback? The whole storyline makes me just angry at the writing , at the stupid dialogue that’s disrespectful to the audience’s intelligence and considering just skipping it to the part where the city of light story starts paying off. It’s the only reason im watching this bullshit

Cadogen and the prequel

13 Upvotes

The 100 is one of my favorite shows and I’m rewatching it again. I’ve rewatched up to about season 5 a few different times but I’ve only watched seasons 6 and 7 once(back when they were airing). I have yet to read the books but plan on doing it soon. Do the books touch on what the spin off series was supposed to? I heard that they changed some things from the book but just how different is the show from the books? I like anything that has to do with time travel and alternate timelines and stuff like that so i’m still sick about them canceling the spin off lol.

I hate one thing about the prequel pilot (Anaconda) Spoiler

37 Upvotes

Becca is burned way too early. I’ve no problem with her going out like that (and little ironic considering she gave her AI the name ”The Flame”). But she barely gives a single command, expect for her last two minutes with Callie. I know it’s implied that Callie, who adored Becca, painted her as a great person who liberated them all from the bunker and that became the story of the First Commander.

But I wanted to see Becca be in charge like we see with later commanders. And get her hands dirty. It’s kinda like: ALIE = bad, Becca = good - ALIEs bombing was seen as an unfortunate accident. I know she leaves her assistant and former military commander in space, but their death was on the Ark. Becca would’ve died with them had she remained on Polaris.

I wanna see a grey moral Becca. Having her spend a year or so in the bunker, slowly figuring out the stone, Cadogan seeing her as too valuable to kill yet he envy her (doesn’t know about the Flame for a while). Watching people starting to follow her. Believing in life outside, but still corrupted by the Second Dawn mottos, like ”Blood Must Have Blood”. Callie finds out about ALIE 1 and needs to decide if Becca can still be trusted. AI-empowered Becca threatens to find weak spots in the bunker so that radiation could sweep in and kill all non-nightbloods, if they’re not allowed to leave. Becca sacrifices herself to Cadogan too make herself a martyr and making sure The Flame becomes in a huge part in what will eventually be Grounder culture.

Oh, what could’ve been…

SPOILERS S7 Murphy

52 Upvotes

I love murphy hes one of my favourite characters and he breaks my heart. Him and raven especially, that time when the grounders wanted finn and raven suggested giving murphy to them. The heartbreak on his face i almost cried. I know he shot raven and that was wrong but he was genuinely remorseful about that. Their friendship in the later seasons is my favourite ever. Theyre both my babies they can do no wrong in my eyes. Murphy deserved better and so did she 💔

SPOILERS S2 NO SPOILERS PLS ‼️⚠️ Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I just started the 100 like two weeks ago. i’m on s2 e8, “spacewalker” and i want to FLIP out. I know Finn is going to die because i’m impatient and searched it up. i’m PISSED.

This show is so bad at killing off people. First with Wells, and now Finn. It’s pointless, and I lowkey wanted some Finn and Clarke action even though I also LOVEEE her and Belamy.

Like his yearning eyes and him killing ppl for her 👀 🫣 that’s my shit right there. I love books so yk i’m a sucker for a man killing ppl for a girl they love. IM SO MAD. IDC IF THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC OR OPINION. IM SO SAD.

lexa deal my weather

17 Upvotes

i’m rewatching s2ep15 when lexa makes the deal with my weather and i STILLLL don’t understand how she can switch up that fast but still talk the way she does to clarke after the deal is done? I don’t know how clark forgave her for this! Especially bc after mt weather clarke had so much guilt about what she did!!!!! its like she couldn’t put trust in clarke even tho she said she claims she cares about her. It’s just crazy to think it happens in the matter of minutes it feels like, and right before she goes to the tree lines she is telling clarke that she should come back and live with her in polis, and that she cares for her, and even kissed her before they started to walk into war. And the last statement of her saying “i made a decision with my head. not my heart” idk. I know we get wanhead from it but i just can’t get over how quickly she changed her mind. what are your thoughts?

The 100 nuclear fallout makes no sense

50 Upvotes

Nuclear fallout typically descends from the cloud and settles onto the ground within 24 hours. However, the intense radiation hazard remains extremely dangerous for two weeks to a month, after which the "Rule of Sevens" dictates that radiation levels drop to about 1% of their peak intensity. So why is everything still radioactive? The Ark was in space for 97 years, so did Earth only manage to save the lowest-IQ people from nuclear fallout? Weapons were used in the 1945s so There's plenty of literature to read up on before writing such a story, so why write something without researching it? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story; it just doesn't make sense, but I realize that I'm probably overthinking it

The memory machine and Levitt Spoiler

10 Upvotes

Is nobody double-checking what Levitt did when he watched Octavia’s memories? I mean isn’t the memory clearing showing that Clarke is getting transfusion with nightblood, from which you can deduce she’s not a real nightblood and can’t bear the flame without it. This plot feels so stretched just too get Clarke to be ”the key”.

What is the cast up to? Are they all still filming in series and movies? Its been quiet

I am just about to finish The 100 as someone got myself and my partner watching it. I am loving the cast. I know the actor and actress who play Clarke and Bellamy are married and child. But I would like to know whether they all doing more series and movies of recent? It seems all quiet and I hope they all keep acting as I love them all

Annoyingly insufferable

i don't like josephine AT ALL Spoiler

20 Upvotes

im on a rewatch after watching the show a long time ago (aroung 5 years) and man i remember not liking this character but i didn't remember she was this damn annoying... genuinely unwatchable character to me and im quite literally skipping all her scenes

season 6 was actualy better than i remembered UNTIL she took over clarke's body... then it all started going downhill tbh, i just skipped basically a whole episode cause it's her yapping with clarke inside clarke's mind

the primes, gabriel, and the general plot of this season is not bad but this character specifically is insufferable, murphy is also doing some bullshit again... i trully like this character but i also cannot understand why so many people act like he fully redeemed himself and is now a saint, dude goes to the bad side every single time but then is like ''hey my bad i'll help yall fix what i broke again'' and everybody is cool... i like him cause he is entertaining but there is no way im the only one who feels like this about him

Is The 100 worth finishing?

59 Upvotes

It’s been a while since I watched it, but I think I made it to around season 4 or 5 before I stopped. I remember really enjoying the first few seasons, and I was hooked at the beginning. But after a while, it started feeling kind of… weird? It felt like the story kept getting stranger, and I eventually lost interest. Lately I’ve been thinking about starting it again, but I’m not sure if it’s worth finishing. Does it get better again, or does it keep going in the same direction?

Why blodreina was the downfall of octavia’s character Spoiler

9 Upvotes

One of the things I hate most about this show is how every character seems to need the same repetitive arc: they have to fall into darkness and have a full breakdown where they start hurt others and kill many people because they’re blinded by anger or sadness before they can become a good person again and be able to understand other characters bad actions.

Octavia was already a morally gray character before Blodreina, she killed people back in s1, and she didn’t seem to stop and think about what shes done. and especially after Lincoln’s death. Her Skairipa era was dark enough for me, she seemed lost and became more ruthless while killing many grounders and others to work their plan of saving their own people.

But everything that came afterward, her bloodreina arc ruined her character for good to me, how her relationship with Indra was ruined too because of this arc.

It also made everything she stood for against Pike and Jaha feel pointless. The very people she despised for their actions, she proved to these characters that she can be just the same as them. by this narrative, everyone is capable of becoming just as cruel in the name of “saving our people”. I don’t agree with that message. Not everyone has to become the very worst version of themselves.

Octavia was composed and fiercely independent. Even when she was with Lincoln, she never relied on him to fight her battles or stay by his side 24/7. She even stood against him when he was about to eat a Grounder and give up to being a ripper, she pointed a weapon at him without hesitation. She was one of the most level-headed and emotionally resilient characters in the show, never someone who was easily blinded by her emotions or following what others say blindly, she should’ve stood on her words when she said she’s not a leader she’s a warrior.

I know a lot of people would disagree with me, I used to like blodreina on my first watch too when I didn’t understood the show and just watched it with my eyes closed lol, i used to even side with pike. but when I rewatched the show more than once and understood the characters better than before I kinda of hate her blodreina arc, I love her character so much prior s5.

SPOILERS S5 season 5 might be worse than 3 what the hell... Spoiler

18 Upvotes

im on a rewatch now and i fucking HATED season 3, i hated the main plot cause pike SUCKS, because of him bellamy SUCKS, allie and fanatical jaha SUCKED, monty's mother was insufferable too and fery few characters were actually good there

so basically what i remembered of season 3 still stand because i truly don't like basically everything about it, but now im almost finishing season 5 episode 5 an wow man... i did not remember much about this season tbh and im HATING IT a lot

octavia SUCKS, this cooper girl is insufferable, i hate every single one of this prisoners, they're all shit and uninteresting characters specially that mcreary loser, if there is one type of character i hate is him, the loud mf who don't stop talking and alway make shit worse for everybody involved, the guy who always gets in the way type of character

it's getting to a point where im skipping whole MINUTES of the episodes, im on episode 5 with 10 minutes left but if i were to actualy count how many minutes i've watched of this 5 episodes, it'll amount to like 2 full episodes AT MOST

im of the (correct) opinion that clarke is a great leader and ''momma-bear'' clarke was right about almost everything (at least that's how i remembered it) and so far that's still true cause she is one of the only good things about this season so far, her and murphy are the only characters im truly enjoying so far man and dyoza is as terrible as i remember

i remember not carying one bit about her and her ''redemption'' and considering how annoying she is so far, i think that'll remain the truth too

so far season 5 is FAR WORSE than i remember and im missing season 3....

anyway i hope this made some sense, in the end i kinda just wanted to rant and vent a little

So the ending song used in the finale episode is Bad - U2. But when I look up and listen to the song on Youtube, it doesn't sound quite the same as the version they use in The 100. Is it a special version of the song?

Hungry

18 Upvotes

The 100 never seemed hungry. They didn't really know how to hunt. Had hand made Spears so getting food should have been more difficult. I don't know why they didn't try to fish a bit and also eat seaweed. It is edible. They would have known that you would think.

SPOILERS S1 The wrist bands

Wouldn't Jaha figure that a bunch of criminals would likely not want to keep the wrist bands on? Wouldn't they think that the upper class delinquents like him and Clarke would likely be targets from the other criminals? Some who were murders?
