What's On Tonight (Wednesday): 1 more 100

The 100 (via Tumblr)

Hiiiiiiiiii! It has been a pleasure seeing this season of The 100 anger fandom, who were vehemently pro-Bellamy-Clarke. Okay, the latter few seasons are more confusing for me with frequent setting resets and new characters. In this final chapter, the team prepares for the final battle against Cadogan, or as I call him: Beard Guy. If successful, they can move back to Earth in be at peace.

Elsewhere, movie treatments of The Boys in the Band and Gloria Steinem's life arrive on streamers, South Park goes back to school amidst a pandemic, Hawaiian nature gets the spotlight, Archer must stop the Barrys, and orange sportsballs.

Go float yourself, here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, September 30!
