"The 100" and some of the main characters behind it!

Hola, my dear friends! I am currently babysitting while writing this article. Sigh, my toddler has already discovered the art of defiance lol. She always runs away whenever it's time to wear her clothes and diaper after bathing. She also doesn't wanna be cleaned after pooping. But she does make us laugh most of the time. And now, she hasn't taken her nap yet.

Most of us have been watching different shows, series, and movies online especially through Netflix. Have you watched "The 100"? I am still watching it and I wanna finish it because it gets better and better every time. Though there are episodes that bore me, I am curious as to how it's gonna end.

I had to stop typing because I had to put the baby to sleep. Now, let's continue.

The 100 is a Netflix series about how mankind saved its race and survived. Just a brief background:

The Earth was eradicated 100 years ago through nuclear power. There were 12 stations orbiting the Earth from different countries of the world. The 13th station was called Polaris but it didn't join the other stations, it was put down instead because the AI or artificial intelligence created by a scientist called Becca was believed to endanger them. The 12 stations merged and were called Ark. They thought they'll have a sufficient supply of oxygen for another century but there was a system failure. The council or group of intelligent people decided to send 100 kids with criminal records to Earth to see if it's survivable. While the kids try to figure out their new lives on Earth, they had to kill 300 people so they could have enough oxygen for the remaining survivors in the ark.

Here are the main characters of the series that made it exciting:

Clarke Griffin

The daughter of an engineer and a doctor. She was one of the privileged few in the ark so everyone calls her a "Princess". They thought that she was soft just to find out she is also a fighter. She helped her friends survive by acting as a leader and a doctor of the group. She was later called "Wanheda" or Commander of Death by the tribal people called "Grounders".

Bellamy Blake

He had to shoot Chancellor Jaha, the leader of the council of the ark so he could be with his sister, Octavia who was sent to Earth. He started taking care of his sister when he was 8 and he would do anything to protect her. He became the first leader of the 100, almost killed his friend John Murphy and joined another group that tainted his relationship with his sister.

Octavia Blake

She was not supposed to be born because the ark's rule was to only have a child. She grew up hiding on the ark's floor. She is Bellamy's sister. Their mother got "floated" or sent to the space to die because the ark found out her existence. She met a Trikru warrior named Lincoln, fell in love and she became a warrior. She's not all beauty, she can fight. That's why she is my favorite character.

Lincoln the Trikru

Trikru means tree people. He is a grounder. When he was a child, he saved a person who fell down from the sky just to be ordered to kill it by his father. When he saw Octavia wounded, he saved her. It started their romantic relationship. He made her strong and taught them their ways. But he died because of the new leader of the council of the ark. His death break Octavia's soul. They are my favorite couple.

Raven Reyes

She is also one of my favorites. She is a mechanic, one of the youngest and most intelligent in the group. She had a boyfriend named Finn who fell in love with Clarke. She went to Earth to see if Clarke is still alive, created a bomb that kill 300 grounders, and destroyed a bridge that survived the nuclear war. She was also the most wanted person by the AI called Alie because of her brain. She loves coding that's why I like her a lot.

There are other characters like Abby Griffin, Clarke's mom that served as an important person in the series. She saved a lot of people, enemy or not and she also became a chancellor. Marcus Kane, who also became a chancellor, sought peace so they could live with the grounders, share their resources and survive on Earth. Thelonious Jaha, who also became chancellor, led their people to become a follower of AI Alie that downloaded their consciousness in a place called "City of Light".

I am not yet done, just like what I have mentioned earlier and I will tell you how it ended and my key takeaways from the movie.

Sigh, my Bam got the bug. She got a high fever now. She slept in our room so knock on the wood, it will either be or Saoirse next. I pray not.

My friend, what series are you currently watching on Netflix or other streaming channels? Can you tell me about it? I'd love to hear from you!
