"Our fight is over."

I literally have no one to talk to about this show so I’m making this post but I just finished s2 and I’m so obsessed with it, it just gets better and better. I haven’t been hooked to any series in a while now but I’m glad this series relieved me from my series burnout lol

AND I HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS

I love-hate Clarke. Sometimes I love her being a badass but most of the time I feel like her actions are only the actions of someone who knows they have a plot armor.

My faves right now are Bellamy and Murphy. I think I only hated them in S1e1 but liked them by the next episode. I also don’t understand why they blame Murphy for Finn’s actions like Finn is his child or smth. Also speaking of Finn, he caught me off guard with his “development” in s2. He really pissed me off in s2 but with the aftermath of the massacre I felt so bad for him and sadly the only way out of it was his death :( I would’ve surrendered him when the grounders asked for him.

I love Raven, Lexa and Octavia! tho I feel like sometimes I hate what they’re doing but I can never hate them they can’t ever do wrong in my eyes. I love most of the side characters too with the exception of Abby. She pisses me off the most.

(also i ship bellamy and clarke, idk if they ever get together in the series but im so happy to learn they’re together irl!!)

So yeah anyway I’m about to start s3 hopefully it will keep getting better.

Don’t think that I’m stupid or anything but I have a strange question as we all know The Ark send 100 + Bellamy to earth and Clarke made a list for 100 people to live so in the storyline was the list making part after more people landed you know after Abby, Kane and others landed. It should be but I don’t remember Abby or Kane in those scenes. I feel stupid right now just got out of math exam so go easy on me

I've watched this show three times now, it is above and beyond my favorite show. But every time I search for related shows, similar shows, something of that nature - I can't find anything. And I end up watching bits and pieces of The 100 again. Has anyone found anything?

I think some of my favorite parts of the show are the impossible situations characters are faced with and the constant my people vs your people decisions. What is out there on TV that's worth watching??

He saved her life and then continued to protect her and then wouldn’t give up the antidote for Finn until Octavia started cutting herself…

Was it supposed to be a love at first sight type of thing? Otherwise idg why he was so protective of her

So I started The 100 probably a couple months ago, basically binging the hell out of it for several seasons. I was skeptical at first because I'm not a sci-fi fan (though I guess this show turned out to not be so focused on that), but I was very much drawn to their lives on the ground. I even started caring about the people in space, waiting to see what would happen to them. I found the conflict with the grounders exciting and very well written and performed. I even loved the parts when the rest of skaikru came down to the ground. Then the Mt. Weather season started. Actually needed to do some research and found out that it was the second season. That much was packed into the first season and it was incredible. I'm rewriting this because I realise I have this whole storyline jumbled together in my mind, but season 2 was pretty good too. If I get seasons mixed up and events jumbled together it's because I watched it all in a very short time span and to be fair to me just once. I didn't care for the Mt. Weather scenes as much as I did the outside and the rest of Skaikru coming down to earth, but it was still fantastic. Even segments of Mt. Weather were of course incredible. While I remember many parts of the show I can't say much about season 3, but I think I did basically like that whole season too. I wasn't a big fan of Jaha and his search for enlightenment, and I realise that his storyline would end up being the plot of the following season. I however don't care for that sort of religious story, there's been a lot of them and I never find them enjoyable. I mean I still like Bekka's character, I don't even necessarily hate the City of Light arc. I just hate the prophet character, and as it turns out there were like fifty separate such characters through the series. While I loved every character, my favorite relationship was consistently that between Clarke and Lexa though. But I remember reading earlier that people were upset with Lexa's death. I can sort of relate, but I didn't necessarily think it was anticlimactic or anything. But I did start liking the story less when it moved away from the relationship between the clans, and more towards overworldly themes. The Blodreina arch was pretty cool, I really liked Bellamy's character in this one (always liked Bellamy though, except season 1). I like good characters, which is also why this is when I started genuinely liking the character Murphy. But the series sort of lost me around here. I wouldn't have thought it would, but I didn't necessarily hate that Lexa turned out to be an AI. To some extent I did, and I didn't want the show to devolve into something stupid and technological, I don't enjoy that. But I found that reveal kind of awesome in a sad way. But after that reveal, I stopped liking the theme. In the later seasons, I mostly liked the relationship between Madi and Clarke. I loved that bond, honestly I did. But the show started to really lose me when Eligius came up. McCreary was just not a character that I wanted in The 100, neither were the rest of the criminals including Diyoza. I learned to appreciate her character slightly more later on, but not for me at all. I felt this season was still fine and enjoyable, as were all of them. But the last two were barely that. I don't know why I started realising this by the end of season 7. But there were SO MANY cult storylines. City of light, Sanctum, Bill (can't for the life of me remember if they were called anything in the last season), I mean even Mt. Weather to some degree. Why did the latter half of the show ONLY have cults as enemies? Absolutely abysmal. Maybe that's just me missing the old clan battles, but that's the show I loved initially. The last seasons, in my opinion, were saved by Madi and Clarke's relationship. It's the only thing I genuinely rooted for the whole time. I also don't know if I buy Clarke needing to kill Bellamy. She could have shot him in the arm and pulled him through the anomaly. This was as jumbled as my recollection of the story, sorry about that. But the main takeaway is this show didn't NEED three or four seasons about cults.

Why did they *have* to wipe the Lee family, couldn't they just make extra mind drives instead? Do they not have the know how?

Please don’t spoil anything past episode 3, if you can’t explain without spoiling then I’ll see it myself when I get to it.

Wtf is going on? I found this show recently and I love it, I’ve watched all of it until now, and I’ve never been confused until this point. The entire anomaly thing makes absolutely no sense to me. Last season when Diyoza went into the anomaly and Octavia went after her a few seconds later, now it’s revealed that she showed up 3 months after Diyoza. But last season, she came back out of the anomaly just as quick as she went in, but she was in there for 10 years? In one of the past few episodes they were talking about how x amount of time in the anomaly equates to x amount of time on the sanctum planet, but how is that if 5 seconds can equal 3 months or 10 years? Also why did the mask people take Octavia and Diyoza back to sanctum, but only Octavia popped out by herself?

Wtf is bardo? And who is eligus? I thought that was diyoza’s people? Why are they going back and forth between sanctum and the anomaly planet and why are they never seen on the sanctum planet? Why are they sending prisoners to another planet? Do they live in sanctum? Why didn’t everyone just go to the anomaly planet and live there? The video of Becca was like a foreign language to me. So echo, hope, and the chip dude are trying to get back to sanctum? Why did they ever go into the anomaly in the first place? Because they assumed the invisible creature was taking him there? For what? And now they’re trying to leave without looking for him?

I get that stuff is going to be answered as the season goes on, but to me it’s been complete gibberish the entire time, I’m not understanding any of it at all. Maybe I’ve been way too high to be watching this and I need to restart season 7, but I’ve been high as shit the entire show and not had any problems understanding what’s going on.

Don't get me wrong, this show is quite entertaining and honestly the CW cheesiness is part of the experience...BUT I do feel like the story itself has a strong framework and good world building that had the potential to be so much more. Like I'm just imagining a version of this but with GOT level of production and writing...could have been so sick

We know that the names are changed to be more phonetic in Trig like Leksa Belomi and Klark, what would your name be? I think mine would be Bryr (from Briar) but I’m not sure

Edit: that one comment was right, I’m Braia

This is still my favorite show, I’m almost 30 and I know the show is supposed to be geared towards like a teen/ young adult age range but I still love it anyway. I’m not saying I think I’m old at 30 I just know young adult is geared towards like 18-25. I’ll probably still be watching this show 10 years from now. Anyone else out of the “age demographic” who still genuinely enjoys the show ??

Why would they focus more on him during his last appearance, when they return to farm station, only then to write him out of the show completely?

I’m aware the actor perhaps left for another project, but what would be the reason for bringing him back for S4 at all if there was no attempt to write him out of the show on screen?

I’m just curious.

Man they didn't even give Bellamy a burial after that bullshit of a death

What's the saddest scene for you? When Bellamy legitimately thought Clarke was dead during the season they were swapping bodies (🙄) but that scene his reaction had me literally tearing up bad, also when she let go of her mom on that ship 🥺

How come the flame went into Russell without being put in his head?

Clarke’s voice sounds exactly like Lindsay Lohan, change my mind.

What the hell is wrong with Finn's voice. Hella disgusting.

i’m watching this show with my girlfriend for the first time who is a huge fan and i genuinely cannot get past the amount of insanely bright lens flares every time they’re on the ark. why is it like this?

Welp, that was something. I don't think I've ever seen a show I really like with that level of horrible writing!

I can't believe the amount of eye rolls at the stupidity the characters in this show exhibit in each episode. The plot armor, all of it. Lol..

That being said I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Least favorite seasons started with the alie season. Wow that was a bit much, talk about changing the story arc up a bit. Really didn't like that season or the first sanctum season. The show got weirder and weirder and seemingly threw out everything and became a new show altogether. With the same characters lol. I think back to season 1 and realize what a journey I've been on watching this, but that's why I liked it so much. It got painful at times but wow, something about it just sunk its hooks in me.

I peeked at this sub a couple times and noticed people really didn't like the 7th season or the ending. To be honest, I didn't mind it, I didn't love it but I didn't mind it. Like I said before I didn't really like the direction the show went anyway a couple seasons prior, I think it could have done way better. So, for the ending that it was it wasn't so bad. Oh yeah, talk about really nonsensical "science" going on in this show hahaha wow.

Overall good show, glad I came back to it. First time I tried to watch it I couldn't even get through the first episode a couple years ago. The acting in this show really bailed out the horrible writing.. Anyways, look forward to rebooting it in a year or so to notice all the things I missed.

Okay so in the final we see humanity transcend into whatever the anomaly stones are but what is the difference between living in a universal consciousness versus what Allie was trying to do in season three? where she was trying to basically take the remains of humanity and put them in a artificial construct, where they live and are without their physical bodies? An while I see with Allie she also took away their emotions their pain ect, without their general consent; why would humanity ( and yes Clark is the one who ends up deciding to shut down, Allie and stop it without giving the greater whole a choice like raven having the judge give another chance to humanity to transcend without really giving the great whole a choice) choose to go that way again or in that direction , why is it any different that they would choose that or transcendence? considering both things are almost exactly the same with major and minor differences. Both mean humans can’t create more of their own selves, both mean living in a giant hive like mind situation, both mean no more bodies and no more physical thing.

Basically it just contradicts itself to what Allie being the villain is in some cases to give humanity a sorta immortal sense, while not all cases is she good since she wipes out humanity anyway, what is the difference in what she did an they did.

just want to vent a little. I’m rewatching for the 3rd and I almost forgot how annoying Clarke gets. She’s so insufferable season 4-5. Shes never been a favorite of mine, definitely one of my least favorite characters in the whole show. Is Clarke supposed to be a likable character? I don’t understand why she says she does everything to protect her people but half the time she’s being selfish and goes against what everyone else wants

i know im so so late, but whatever my friend already told me that. but loveee season 1, i literally sat and binge watched it all last night. the whole cast is hot which is a plus. so many moments that had me gripping my blanket. fell asleep having dreams about bellamy (thats my boo). YES IK IM LATE BUT LEAVE ME ALONE. hehe so excited, starting the next season right now. a little nervous because my sister has watched the entire series and said after a few seasons it gets too far fetched and sci fi for her. pleaseee dont let this be true. even if i get a good solid 3 seasons with decent plot i will be pleased. also loved how much character development kane had in just one season. i hope the grounders keep murphy.

I just watched the episode in season 2 where Abby gets shock lashed by Kane and I was curious to hear opinions about it.

I get Abby broke the rules but they could’ve shock lashed her in private without everybody and they mama watching😭

I honestly dislike Abby a lot in this show but I felt so bad for her here.

I guess Kane getting hanged on the cross in season 3 was a little taste of his own medicine, still crazy tho😭

Season 4 spoiler

I feel like everyone involved in trying to steal the bunker should have been banned from it once >!Octavia!< took over. They broke the agreement of the conclave and should have been banished just like >!Echo!< when she interfered.

What are some of the "what if...?" That you think would have change major plots or just plots on the show? For me is that if raven and jackson never lashed out at Abby for trying to be both a head doctor and the chancellor she wouldn't have offered to Kane, Kane wouldn't have proposed an election and pike never would have won Also if they never trusted echo about the summit most likely Mount weather would have survived the ice nation attack and bellamy and pike wouldn't have kill the army that was send to protect them, which wouldn't have made the rest of the clans want to move against Arkadia and Lexa wouldn't look weak and Titus wouldn't have kill her...

Started watching this for the first time recently. I am confused as to why parts of the Ark are getting cold as work on the Exodus ship drains power. Shouldn't it be getting hot, if anything, due to them not being able to dump excess heat via IR?

You're suddenly transported from your life, with the knowledge you have, right now and the next thing you know, you're standing in a forest, and through the trees you see the dropship falling to earth at the beginning of Season 1 to make it's first landing with the 100 kids from the Ark.

This prompt is a: "Whatever the hell we want prompt."

The only rule. There is no coming back. You're stuck there. What do you do?

I am on S4 2nd to last episode.

I used to like Jaha on previous seasons before the city of light but now I am just waiting for to die. He just becomes so selfish and blind sided.

I know they were portrayed in a light that suggested they had no choice, but I honestly don’t buy it. These people had so much power, Skaikru was in a war with the Grounders it didn’t want to fight and that could be leveraged by Mt. Weather who had been dealing with them for decades and had extremely useful equipment and resources.

They didn’t even attempt to see what the inner political situation was within Skaikru and what their leaders were like, which could have opened the doors to negotiations that would help both sides.

They basically just decided to exterminate a bunch of kids without trying other solutions first. And yes they tried the volunteer route but like…they could have gone further than that instead of shaking heads and saying it’s time to subject 48 kids to horrendous deaths.
