The 100

[greenleaf3]

So I just caught up with The 100, a CW show which AJ currently has a guest-role in. I thought I'd share a bit about it in case anyone was interested in trying it out. The premise of the show is that there was a global nuclear war in the future, and the last remnants of humanity are orbiting Earth in a space station - about 2,000 total. Because of

Thanks for the write-up! I haven't watched the show, as it doesn't air on free-to-air TV here, but I've heard good things about it from a friend and between that and your review I definitely plan to watch it when I can get hold of it on DVD.

Thanks for this! I've been watching the first season of 100 on Netflix because I heard he was on it, and I've been wondering if he's going to get to do more than say, "What's your order, sir?" and stuff, and been getting kind of impatient for more from his character, wondering if it was going to happen. BSG made a great committment to giving its small role characters something to do, even before they knew they would make them full-fledged characters. I'm not so sure this show is committed to doing that sort of thing, but so I've been wondering if we would see more of Sinclair. I have been liking the show's main plots and characters okay, although really, I could take them or leave them, and if AJ's never going to get to do anything, then I'm probably not going to stick around.

So does he ever get to do anything?

I see what you mean about this being Lost meets BSG meets Hunger Games. There are definitely some elements of all three in this.

He hasn't really had much to do yet - definitely a smaller role even than early-seasons Gaeta. The show's enjoyable enough that I think I'll keep watching even if his part stays small, but I'm hopeful he'll get more.

I hope so too. I suppose I will at least try and catch up to the most recent episodes and then see what I think.

I have been watching, and was pleasantly surprised by how much fun this show is ("fun" may not be the best word for a post-apocalyptic story drenched in death, I guess...). The pilot was flat-out bad, but otherwise, it's been a good ride.

I am torn between hoping AJ's character gets a bigger role and hoping the character stays in the background to avoid a brutal and untimely death. :)

LOL. It's sadly true.

He seems to be getting a little more screen time lately. My bet is that soon he'll be killed off and Raven will take over Engineering. I don't want this to happen, mind you, but the show is running out of people we like to kill off. :D
