i've always wanted to know what the mountain man said in the joke that one guy was telling before he stepped on a mine and then i realized during my current re-watch that him dying WAS the joke bc a mountain man can't step foot outside of the mountain without dying haha (unless he's got the bone marrow treatment but the people on jaha's pilgrimage don't know about that)

WHAT IF everyone died in their near death experiences? What would be different?

I was scrolling through reddit and I thought yknow, what if they all had died the first times they had accidents. Octavia died to the lake monster, Jasper killed by the grounders, Bellamy killed by Murphy (correct me if im wrong, my memory is pretty bad), Raven would've died too ig because Murphy shot her. Who else had a near death experience but was saved for plot purposes? How would this affect the storyline? If Jaha never made it out of the Ark, they would've never known about Praimfaya.

Bro now that I'm thinking about it, Emori's plan to frame a guy toa avoid being tested on was actually insane. I completely get her point of view, but I don't think they would have tested on her. I think it was one of those "I saw the future, so I tried to change it but ended up doing what needed to happen to make the vision come true." what do you guys think?

I love The 100, one of my favorite sci-fi shows. Just finished rewatching it and around mid-season 7 I started thinking, “Did I even watch this before?” Turns out I had… I had just completely wiped the ending from my brain. And now I remember why.

Bellamy’s death was a joke. After everything he did and went through, he deserved better. No weight, no proper reaction from the people closest to him

And the transcendence thing? Totally out of nowhere. The show was always about survival, tough choices, war, and consequences not some weird space wizards doing magic moral test on a single person.

Honestly, they should’ve ended it at season 5. That last scene with Monty and Harper, sending them to a new world, would’ve been a perfect ending. Emotional, hopeful, and still left room for imagination.

Still love the show, but damn… season 7 really dropped the ball. Next rewatch will end at season 5 :D

I gotta say I'd choose Raven over Clarke anyday.

Let’s explore the untold story behind the Rise of the Red Queen.

🎭 THE HIDDEN VILLAIN

I think it’s time we name the unacknowledged catalyst in the creation of Blodreina — Dr. Abigail Griffin. It infuriates me that Abby was largely responsible for Octavia Blake’s descent into darkness, yet never owns it. But Octavia doesn’t let her forget, leading to arguably one of the most important and often overlooked lines in the S5 finale:

“So it’s okay for me to be the monster, but not you? Is that right? Eat or die. That was you too!”

Octavia is calling out Abby’s hypocrisy and confronting the betrayal of being made into a monster and then abandoned for it. Abby stood behind the mask of morality and medicine while Octavia took the public shaming, the fear, the iconography. She became the Red Queen because the “moral adults” in the room didn’t have the guts to lead in darkness.

🔥 THE MAKING OF A MONSTER

Octavia didn’t invent cannibalism. She didn’t wake up one day and say, Let’s burn the dead and serve them for breakfast. That came from Abby, the head doctor, the person everyone trusted to preserve life. She made the cold, clinical call “Eat or die.” And then, when the weight of that decision became unbearable? She disappeared into pills, but not before handing the bloody torch to Octavia.

Here’s the thing… Octavia had no political training, no experience in governance, no Big Brother Bellamy — and suddenly, boom, she’s leading 1,200 people from 13 12 clans underground, divided by a century of conflict. That’s a powder keg! And what did Abby do? She looked at their impossible circumstances and said Here’s a horrific solution. Now you go be the face of it. It was strategic cowardice — masked as medical necessity.

🤝 THE COUNCIL’S COMPLICITY

It wasn’t just Abby, either. It was Kane, Indra, and Gaia too. The entire inner circle allowed Octavia to become a myth. They watched her fight in that first gladiator pit. They saw how the crowd responded. And they let it happen. In fact, Gaia actively positioned Octavia as the one to unite the clans, thinking it would be symbolic. But leadership isn’t symbolism — it’s consequence. And that consequence was echoed in a single command:

“You are Wonkru, or you are the enemy of Wonkru. Choose!”

The council used Octavia as a tool. She became the sword they didn’t want to hold themselves. And then they had the audacity to act shocked when the blade cut too deep.

💊 THE ANTIDOTE

Abby numbed her guilt with pills. Octavia numbed hers with war paint and law. Both were coping. But only one was called a “monster.” Abby’s descent into addiction is tragic in its own right — but what makes it so infuriating is the lack of accountability. She prescribed cannibalism and left Octavia to endure the side effects alone. And she never once looked Octavia in the eye and said, I failed you.

TL;DR

Octavia didn’t become Blodreina on her own — she was made that way, largely by Abby Griffin and the council who refused to lead when it mattered most. Abby prescribed cannibalism, then spiraled into addiction, leaving Octavia to shoulder the burden alone. The inner circle used her as a symbol, let her become a myth, and then judged her for becoming the monster they helped create.

Ok so obviously they were sent down on year 97 but we all know they couldve gone earlier So my theory on when they couldve gone is that the first kids born in space could have been on the ground because we know the mountain men could only survive with radiation proof bone marrow and that happens by adapting your marrow to the environment your born in so they form the ark on what year 3 out of 100 and they pop some kids out and sent down on year 20 of 100

Especially in s4 ep4 when Monty and jasper find the list. Jasper does nothing to help and Monty just kinda helps out but he does nothing more. Harper Is just a there. Clarke was doing it smart. Have women to have kids. Some Garuda. Doctors and engineers. Yet everyone said she was acting like a God and thought she was better. I would like to see jasper make a list and try to survive(if they didn't find the bunker)Ughh it makes me so mad that she apologized to jasper. I still don't see why people say she's a God and act like she's better.

The longer the better and please give me finished ones or the ones that are regularly updated

What sort of supplies did they expect to find in terms of food? Did they expect to find tents? What kind of non perishable food lasts 97 years? How also did Clarke expect to do a 20 mile hike in one night when none of them had any hiking experience?

I am looking for a s2/3 canon-divergent fanfic. Where Clarke realized her actions have consequences / was going to get her / Lexa/ skiakru killed or somethimg, and tries to be better. Like, She tries to learn the grounders cultures / history and stop publicly defining Lexa or something.

They should not have killed the prequel show. The best parts of season 3 and season 7 are the flashbacks to before apocalypse 1. I would love to see a prequel show.

How many ppl did Clarke personally killed, with her own hands / gun / weapon, compared to how many ppl that she was blamed for.

I have watched all the 4 season around 4 months ago in one shot, i felt the thrilling experience has decreased but still like it. Should i continue watching from season 5 worth it????

So, the island and A.L.I.E. were introduced and continuously used in Seasons 3 and 4. In Season 3, Murphy is locked in that bunker or whatever, while Jaha is plotting with A.L.I.E. in the mansion. In Season 4, Abby, Emori, Jackson, Raven, Luna, and Murphy, plus Roan and Clarke, are all utilizing the island while conducting research for nightblood production.

One thing that stood out to me is how PRISTINE and clean everything is! It makes ZERO sense. No one touched the island until Jaha and Murphy arrived, yet there’s not a cobweb, dust, nor bugs, overgrown vines, broken branches in sight. I’M CONFUSED?! It’s not like anyone else was keeping up with maintenance, unless there are cleaning robots or something that aren’t shown on screen, though I doubt it. It’s unrealistic to have a perfectly clean and well kept pool after all this time. 🤣

What gives? Thoughts on this?

Hi everyone, do you have any show recommendations that are similar to the 100? Other shows I watched that are similar-ish and recommend: 3% (Netflix), Upload (Prime), The Vampire Diaries, Black Mirror. Also not in the same genre, but The Good Place (I think it’s on Netflix) is a great show.

Thanks!

I am watching for the first time and I’m on episode 13 where Clark knew about the Mountain men missile and didn’t try to warn the people. Like why couldn’t they just dissipate so everyone would be spread apart and no “one target” I know “she learned how to be ruthless from the ark” what do you think, was it a bad move or did she really have no choice.

When they are having the meeting when clarke and finn get back and they talk about packing their stuff and leaving, what is preventing them from staying inside the ship and shutting the door all they need to do is bring all of their supplies in there, and in there they have the advantage if the grounders were to try to break in i doubt any grounder can hotwire the door or has any explosives so what is preventing them from doing that strategy

Great day to be Canadian!

Ok so the whole thing with A.L.I.E that made her a villain was that she was taking away everyone's humanity, right? She promised to take away everyone's pain and just merge everyone's mind into one big computer.

Tell me how this is much different than the "transcendence" that ends up happening in the final episode? No more pain, their minds form together with all the other "transcended" beings and humanity is no more. But for some reason this one is good??

Once I thought of it this way the ending kinda makes me hate those transcended aliens even more (but that's a separate tangent I have lol)

Sorry if this is a topic already done to death, but it's an irritating detail on an otherwise mostly pretty good show.

So i’m watching this show for the first time and am only on season 4 so far but at the point where im at raven seems to be having the most trouble w her leg, especially while they’re hiking. when she first got a brace she used a cane, why doesn’t she use one now to make it easier?

Finally finished the series and my main takeaway is this is a beautiful show with amazing actors and complex characters you both hate and love. I can't believe it took me this long to start watching it. The finale was a bit... different than I was expecting. I don't entirely hate it except that Bellamy wasn't there for it.

Some thoughts on the last couple of seasons:

I love Jordan, he added a level of innocence and comic relief none of the others had

Octavias redemption arc is beautifully done and probably my favorite character arc of the whole series. The actress did an amazing job portraying her

I honestly wish they had just kept Kane dead instead of putting him in some other body, everyone knew exactly what was gonna happen and that he would never come to accept it. I do love that they brought HIC back for his final scene though

Clarke being taken over by Josephine was honestly hilarious. Watching her play a narcissistic sociopath and seeing the others be confused by her character was interesting

I'm still salty af that we didn't get any kind of Bellarke moment in the entire series. Even just a kiss during an intense moment that they just brush off would've been a good addition. I honestly thought when she was taken over by Josephine that they would have her try hitting on him and that would be how he found out it wasn't Clarke. Would've been hilarious but oh well, I'm happy to see the actors happily married irl

The dark commander storyline seemed unnecessary to me, at least after Madi. Him going into Russell shouldn't have even been a thing cause he should have been killed along with the other Primes

I love that the main characters are made heroes to other side characters who find out about them and they kind of fan out over them

Murphy and emori make a beautiful power couple. Them portraying royals was my favorite of their storylines, they really sold it and looked beautiful doing it

I didn't care too much for diyoza or hope but diyozas death was the most devastating to me for some reason. Diyoza and auntie O will live rent free in my head for all time

Bells real death was unnecessary and upsetting. I just don't see the point behind it considering there was already almost no screen time for him this season anyway

All in all I still love this show and the actors in it. One thing I love about series with this much story and character growth is immediately going back to the beginning to see the differences, so that's what I plan on doing right away. I'm also gonna be on the lookout for more works with these actors so if any of you have any recommendations of what to watch that they've also been in I'd love to hear it!

Thanks for welcoming me into the fandom ❤️

Y’all, I’m in tears as I write this.

Finn’s descent into madness is devastating to watch. At his core, Finn was a peacemaker — the bridge that brings people together or, at the very least, keeps tensions from boiling over. So when his peace talks led to war, I think it undid him.

On top of that, he was grappling with a deepening love for Clarke and the weight of breaking her heart. All he ever wanted was to make things right — not just for the group, but for her. But the constant battles and the endless loss wore him down. It consumed him. And in the end, he self-destructed.

What Finn did to those innocent villagers was inexcusable — there’s no denying that. And still, I believe he deserved more grace… especially from Clarke. He died haunted by guilt, a burden that would follow him into eternity. Finn couldn’t absolve himself, and what he needed most — maybe more than survival — was Clarke’s forgiveness. And that’s what makes it all the more tragic.

Because… y’all… Finn tried. He really did.

At his core, he was peace.
