The 100: The Complete Second Season (2014 - 2015/Warner DVD Set)



Picture: B- Sound: B Extras: C+ Episodes: B-



The 100: The Complete Second Season (2014 - 2015) still keeps us wanting more. It quietly builds from the strengths of Season One, even though we don't see much more than overgrown forest, and in this season a lot of desert, it can visually interesting. It makes me believe they are set up in a post apocalyptic world where things, people, and even animals have changed and they need to now figure out not just how to rebuild civilization, but how to survive.

Season Two picks up right where season one left off, which can be a good idea for a show to do, because it can milk its popularity out a little longer. Clarke (Eliza Taylor) is trapped inside the mysterious vault with some of the remaining 100 kids that were sent to Earth from the arc station. You go in thinking that the season as a whole will be about the vault on Mount Weather, but this is where it is both good and fun to watch and also its downfall. There are so many stories that take place in this season of The 100, that you can feel like they are rushing the shows progression for some reason. If they would focus on the main storyline and some side stories here and there they could keep the series running longer, but as it is being told now I am not sure how much more they can throw at us.

One of the cool things about The 100 is how the people from the arc, which if you have been watching was in outer space and now on Earth, is that it felt sort of like the beginning of the Fallout game series, in which they were told nothing could survive on Earth and they were the last of the human race. However, as we learned from season one with the grounders that is not true. We continue to learn in season two with that there are even more groups of survivors, the people from Mount Weather, The City of Light, and more. Of course it really is not as gritty as the game as we would like, but it has some very good moments and of course is on The CW so there is the romantic element you can expect. For the most part, the show is worth watching if you want a post nuclear apocalyptic world because you are tired of zombies and/or aliens.

The complete second season of The 100 comes on a 4-disc set, which includes 16 episodes. Those episodes are "The 48", "Inclement Weather", "Reapercussions", "Many Happy Returns", "Human Trials ", "Fog of War", "Long Into an Abyss", "Spacewalker", " Remember Me", "Survival of the Fittest", "Coup de GrĂ¢ce", "Rubicon", "Resurrection", "Bodyguard of Lies", "Blood Must Have Blood: Part 1", and "Blood Must Have Blood: Part 2".

It is on a standard definition DVD presented in a "matted" widescreen format preserving the aspect ratio of its original television exhibition and enhanced for widescreen televisions. The audio comes through crisp and clear with its English, lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. Special features for the complete second season of The 100 include some all-new featurettes: The 100: Unlocking the Mountain and The 100 Pre-Viz stunts, plus the 2014 Comic-Con Panel, Gag Reel, and Unaired Scenes.
