Lowest Common Denominator programming for T.V. seems to be more and more 'a thing' nowadays...
I had high hopes for the 100 but they have not have not discontinued this trend. Everyone is portrayed as absurdly stupid - to an unrealistic level - except for maybe 2-3 people. I can kind of understand this sort of character treatment with the kids on the ground; The phrase: "young, dumb and full of cum" comes to mind quite readily - but it apparently applies to the people on the station as well...
The leadership plays out some infantile power trip fantasy at the expense of everyone else's lives while they couldn't rush more quickly to write off the 100 of their OWN CHILDREN they sent to the ground without a second thought.
Oh ya - running out of oxygen? Let's flush hundreds of our own citizens out into space instead of sending them to the ground to have a CHANCE to live! That sounds logical/reasonable, right? Right?!
Give me a break, man... This T.V. series is going to go the way of Terra Nova if the writers don't start to shape up and actually give a fuck about the metaphorical SHIT they're (attempting) to write.
