- The 100
Network: CW
Release: Midseason
Release: Midseason
PJV First Impressions:
It looks like Lost (tv show) meets Lost Boys (book) meets Anaconda
(movie) and inspired by Battlestar Galactica, is that too many
references?
About (taken from cw.com):
Ninety-seven
years ago, nuclear Armageddon decimated planet Earth, destroying
civilization. The only survivors were the 400 inhabitants of 12
international space stations that were in orbit at the time. Three
generations have been born in space, the survivors now number 4,000, and
resources are running out on their dying "Ark" - the 12 stations now
linked together and repurposed to keep the survivors alive. Draconian
measures including capital punishment and population control are the
order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to
ensure their future, including secretly exiling a group of 100 juvenile
prisoners to the Earth's surface to test whether it's habitable. For the
first time in nearly a century, humans have returned to planet Earth.
Among the 100 exiles are Clarke, the bright teenage daughter of the
Ark's chief medical officer; Wells, son of the Ark’s Chancellor; the
daredevil Finn; and the brother/sister duo Bellamy and Octavia, whose
illegal sibling status has always led them to flaunt the rules.
Technologically blind to what’s happening on the planet below them, the
Ark’s leaders - Clarke’s widowed mother, Abby; the Chancellor, Jaha; and
his shadowy second in command, Kane - are faced with difficult
decisions about life, death and the continued existence of the human
race. For the 100 young people on Earth, however, the alien planet
they’ve never known is a mysterious realm that can be magical one moment
and lethal the next. With the survival of the human race entirely in
their hands, THE 100 must find a way to transcend their differences,
unite and forge a new path on a wildly changed Earth that’s primitive,
intense and teeming with the unknown.
Starring:
The
series stars Eliza Taylor (newcomer) as Clarke, Paige Turco (“Person of
Interest,” “Damages”) as Abby, Thomas McDonell (“Suburgatory”) as Finn,
Eli Goree (“Emily Owens, M.D.”) as Wells, Marie Avgeropoulos (“50/50“)
as Octavia, Bob Morley (newcomer) as Bellamy, Kelly Hu (“X2: X-Men
United,” “Arrow”) as Cece, Christopher Larkin (“Squad 85”) as Monty,
Devon Bostick (“Aim High”) as Jasper, with Isaiah Washington (upcoming
“Blue Caprice,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) as Chancellor Jaha, and Henry Ian
Cusick (“Lost,” “Scandal”) as Kane.
Based on the Books:

26 Reasons Why Derek Is The Sexiest Monster On "Teen Wolf"
1. Everyone, this is Derek from Teen Wolf. Derek, this is everyone!
2. Say “hello,” Derek!
3. Derek is an Alpha werewolf, which makes him one of the biggest badasses in Beacon Hills.
You’re certainly the Alpha of my heart, boo.
4. But he also just has awesome wolf arms that look great in a tight tank.
5. Actually, I take that back, because he really looks best with nothing on at all.
Good golly, it’s like heaven just opened and a wolfman is leading us inside the pearly gates!
6. And yes, I realize he can be really terrifying, especially when there’s a full moon.
7. Ahhh!!! OMG, babe, please, put the fangs away!
8. And he’s basically using his hotness to seduce hopeless teens into joining his wolf pack…
9. And then turning them into wolves, even though that means they’re probs gonna kill some people.
10. But look at that smile! How can I stay mad at that?!
11. And sometimes he gets into these massive wolf fights…
12. And even then, when he’s covered in blood, it’s like, “YES, ALPHA, I WILL HEAL YOU WITH MY LOVE.”
13. Then he takes off his shirt again, and I black out.
14. Sexy side eye? Yeah, he knows something about that.
15. Looking like a vulnerable wolf who needs a long embrace? Yes, he’s all about that too.
Let me love you. We can howl at the moon together, or whatever.
16. And again, I know that he’s a scary dude who can essentially kill me at any moment.
17. In fact, sometimes it seems like he’d do it, just for fun.
18. But he does TRY to make his threats polite, sometimes.
19. And look at how thoughtful he is, always wearing the tightest shirts in his closet.
Thank you, babe!
20. Even when he runs, it feels like he’s doing it just so I can see the sweat gleam across his perfect wolf forehead.
21. Speaking of perfection, can we talk about Derek’s facial hair? Because that scruff makes me sweat profusely.
22. So much so, that I would absolutely let him bite me so I could be part of his sexy wolf pack.
23. But he doesn’t even need that scruff to look hot. No, because even when he’s clean shaven it’s as if he’s the only supernatural creature in the universe.
The only beautiful one, at least.
24. Hells bells, even Stiles can’t stop looking at him!
25. Jesus, if he raises those brows one more time, I might just…
26. Yup, he did it. And now I’ve died from happiness and am living in some Alpha heaven.
Don’t try to find me. I’m happier here.

Cruel Beauty ~
by Rosamund Hodge
Graceling meets
Beauty and the Beast in this sweeping fantasy about one girl's journey
to fulfill her destiny and the monster who gets in her way-by stealing
her heart.
Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.
Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom-all because of a foolish bargain struck by her father. And since birth, she has been in training to kill him.
With no choice but to fulfill her duty, Nyx resents her family for never trying to save her and hates herself for wanting to escape her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, Nyx abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, destroy his enchanted castle, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people.
But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle-a shifting maze of magical rooms-enthralls her.
As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, how can she refuse her duty to kill him? With time running out, Nyx must decide what is more important: the future of her kingdom, or the man she was never supposed to love.
