Next Generation

I lost track of The Hundred, as I can't keep up with everything, but caught an episode the other evening, and see how it has evolved into Game of Thrones with a technocratic edge, preying upon millennial worries of reliving the major conflicts of the silent generation, between totalitarianism and individual liberty, which in more convoluted ways, is the same issue nagging The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, how humans are evolving in relation to the past, with a heavy dose of violence, to inure and make the viewer care at the same time, and yet I have my own red herrings about it, the residue dying boomers leave behind in the mist of our self-absorbed neurosises, if there isn't another method besides these stylized survivor metaphors.
