The remaining 48 wake up in what appears to be an underground bunker, and they don\u2019t quite know how they got there. But Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) is sure as hell going to find out.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout Season 1, Clarke\u2019s transformation from healer to leader was easily one of the most intriguing aspects of the show. Thankfully, Season Two amps the transformation up to 11 as Clarke becomes a commander in the battle between the Grounders, the Sky People and the Mountain Men.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not only Clarke who\u2019s getting the character development treatment: Bellamy becomes more of a team player, Clarke\u2019s mother Abby (Paige Turco) and Chancellor Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) begin to realise how screwed up the Ark\u2019s legal system was, and Murphy (Richard Harmon), who played the role of Token Arse-wipe in Season One, has strangely become one of the show\u2019s most likeable characters. But still the teenagers remain infinitely more interesting than the adults. This is their journey after all.<\/p>\n<p>Romantic relationships blossom too, adding a sprinkling of humanity over the dilapidated and war-torn planet Earth. Raven (Lindsey Morgan) deals with losing Finn (Thomas McDonell), Jasper (Devon Bostick) gets a Mount Weather girlfriend, and Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) and Lincoln (Ricky Whittle) grow closer, as if that were even possible. The season also sews the seeds for a same-sex relationship involving a primary character, which has a lot of potential for Season 3.<\/p>\n<p>Each episode connects and flows into the next, and the season is as mad and fast-paced as a Grounder at a Reaper\u2019s dinner party. There\u2019s always at least four things happening at once \u2013 usually Clarke and Lexa\u2019s (Alycia Debnam-Carey) war antics, Jaha (Isaiah Washington) and Murphy\u2019s quest to the City of Light, Jasper holding the fort at Mount Weather and whatever the heck the Ark councillors get up to \u2013 but everything contributes to a rich and action-packed narrative.<\/p>\n<p>After a conflict on as huge a scale as the one this season, it\u2019ll be interesting to see what the show will do to top it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Earth re-population plan goes from bad to worse in The 100 Season 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":80184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[2617,8,207],"tags":[3239],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/The-100-Season-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80183"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
