Ep 119: Extenuating Circumstances

Ep 120: It’s Just the Tunnel

Loyalties and alliances are constantly tested and renegotiated as the last remaining humans try to ensure their survival in a mostly-dead world. We discuss the treatment of addiction as a moral failing, who decides what's an acceptable loss, and Monty's commitment to hydrofarming.   Music: Reloaded by Savfk www.youtube.com/savfkmusic [http://www.youtube.com/savfkmusic] www.facebook.com/savfkmusic [http://www.facebook.com/savfkmusic] Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep 119: Extenuating Circumstances

After a nice, long, unannounced and somewhat unintended break, Jenna and Megan are back at it, analyzing and agonizing over our favorite morally fraught television program. We talk about Diyoza, the new villain and ultimate pragmatist; the fanatic gladiator cult that Octavia built and is desperately trying to maintain now that they're out of the bunker; and how the relationships that Clarke and Bellamy have formed over the intervening six years shape their current motivations.   Music: Reloaded by Savfk www.youtube.com/savfkmusic [http://www.youtube.com/savfkmusic] www.facebook.com/savfkmusic [http://www.facebook.com/savfkmusic] Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep 118: Good Guys

It's been six years since the world ended AGAIN, and our favorite characters are back at it, trying to save their friends and keep the human race alive. We discuss Clarke's mythologizing of her own life, the reversal of roles when a new threat from space appears, Octavia's violent judicial system, and most importantly, Bellamy's new facial hair.   Music: Reloaded by Savfk www.youtube.com/savfkmusic  [http://www.youtube.com/savfkmusic] www.facebook.com/savfkmusic [http://www.facebook.com/savfkmusic] Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep 117: The Head and the Heart

As Season Four - and the surface of the earth - comes to a fiery end, characters are scrambling to figure out how they'll survive the next 5+ years of nuclear fallout. Octavia experiences the burden of leadership for the first time. Jaha's ego and entitlement cause problems, AGAIN. A ragtag team of young adults decide to escape to space for a bit, but someone has to make a sacrifice for them to succeed.

Ep 116: It's Unity Day

It's Octavia's time to shine as she enters the conclave to fight for Skaikru. Through her cooperation with other warriors, her memory of Lincoln's beliefs, and her witnessing how far Luna has fallen, she comes to a radical decision about how humanity will survive this new apocalypse. And then she's immediately betrayed by her own people, which feels about right for this show. We discuss the Hunger Games vibes, the convenience of the number 100, a tense standoff between the Clarke and Bellamy, and the unfortunately predictable loss of a major character.  Content warning for suicide/suicide pact from 50:10 - 58:45   Music: Reloaded by Savfk www.youtube.com/savfkmusic [http://www.youtube.com/savfkmusic] www.facebook.com/savfkmusic [http://www.facebook.com/savfkmusic] Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
