The 100 cast signing SDCC 2015

I have said this to a lot of people. The 100 Is not what I expected.  I really expected show about teenage angst, unrequited love, relationship triangles, and star crossed (pun intended) lovers with a veneer of sci fi.  Okay, it is a cast of ‘beautiful people’ with glowing skin that is cleaner than expected after a crash-landing. It has the romantic tangles that viewers crave (at least WB viewers) but they didn’t throw the romance out there in the first few episodes and there is good story writing. I really like the series.  I liked being surprised.

I was happy when I pulled a winning ticket for The 100.

I saw the cast walk to the WB booth.  The ladies were dressed very glamorously. Stilettos, makeup, glossy lipstick, short hems, etc.  They dressed to turn heads and they did.  The guys were more chic causal.

First up was Isaiah Washington, he saw my badge and asked me where in Texas I was from. I said Dallas, then he asked if Dallas, or Plano, or Ft Worth.  Stunned, I said just north of Plano.  I asked why he knew the area. He said he grew up in Houston. He asked if I was a Cowboys fan. I turned that aside and said I was a Rangers fan.  Then I asked what he thought about the Astro’s moving to the American League.  He lowered his head and shook it. He said he didn’t want to get involved in politics.  We both laughed. I got the meaning.  Baseball is like relation and politics.  It’s an emotional topic. You just don’t jump into that topic casually.
