The 100 Versus DC's Legends


You have a choice tonight on The CW - watch season three of The 100 or the premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.  Okay, you can do both, but if your time is like limited you might want to choose one over the other. Trust me, many more shows will arrive shortly and you need some sleep.

My choice is to continue with The 100 and the plucky survivors of the unified space stations. While men (and women) in tights can save the odd human here and there, the crew from the space station faced all types of dangerous humans when they returned to the surface and they had little more than their bare hands and raw wits to stay intact as a struggling community. None of the characters experienced a freak transformation allowing him or her to fly, throw flames, or read minds. 

Besides, DC's Legends are multiplying like rabbits with Arrow and Flash offering new seeds each episode. Hence, the comic books will be with us for a long time (probably long after their welcome has worn out), while The 100 is a uniquely told tale set in a very strange future. 

It is no contest for me - I will follow the survivors.
