I got to finally meet Richard aka Murphy this weekend at Scaradise in Tampa! He’s such a lovely person.

I genuinely think The 100 is a good show overall. Yes, it suffers from viewer fatigue, it’s constant war after war, with Clarke and the group facing one existential threat after another. By Season 4, that cycle started to feel exhausting.

But I kept watching because of the characters. Their development, relationships, and moral struggles were what carried the show for me.

Then S7E13 happened.

Bellamy’s death completely ruined it for me. Not just because he died , but because of how it was handled. Clarke shoots him to protect the sketchbook… and then doesn’t even take it. That makes his death feel pointless. There’s no payoff. No real narrative weight. It felt rushed and unnecessary.

Bellamy deserved a meaningful ending, whether that meant redemption, sacrifice, or even a tragic but well-earned death. Instead, it felt abrupt and hollow. Even after everything in the cave and his spiritual shift, his character arc didn’t feel respected.

For a show that built so much of its emotional core around Clarke and Bellamy, this ending just didn’t do justice to either of them.

netflix can’t stop me lol

I’m on my sixth rewatch and every time I get to season 2 I realize how crazy the plot actually is. It’s already mental that they drain the grounders for their blood and keep them in dog cages, but they also turn the grounders’ own people into their own biggest enemies. That last episode blows me away every time, the fact that they managed to capture so many people from the ark and line them up like animals in a slaughterhouse to DRILL into them for their bone marrow???? If it wasn’t for Clarke they would’ve definitely wiped out both the grounders and the people from the ark. Idk if I’m over exaggerating with this but this whole arc leaves me in shock every time, even more than the whole alie plotline which is also INSANE btw 😭

Sorry if this is something that’s been posted about a lot:)
Rewatching for the third time in years and I’d forgotten just how badass Eliza Taylor is in S.6. Playing Josephine Lightbourne pretending to be Clarke, Clarke pretending to be Josephine, and also Clarke sometimes embodying both characters at once! Love love how her acting was so good you could tell when Josephine is acting like how she imagines Clarke is like. The awkward pauses, the over the top moments!

my comfort show, i never thought i’d see the day where the little red writing appeared below the show telling me it’s leaving soon 💔 i definitely shed a tear and felt my heart break. i don’t know what i’m gonna do without my comfort show. does anyone know where else to watch it? 💔

Tried to get one last rewatch in, was barely able to finish the last episode of Season 5 before it was yoinked from Netflix. It was my 4th rewatch.

This is a funeral post, saying goodbye to my favorite show of all time (for now). I never get tired of watching this show. For all its faults, there isn't a single boring episode of the bunch - the show is undeniably entertaining. I got both my brother and Dad into it, and now they quote lines from the show too. The show goes off the walls even from Season 1, which is what I love about it. I'm not sure if I'll ever find another show like it.

May we meet again.

In honor of my Great grandma Mary, she was very close to me and meant a lot, so when I first heard this quote it stuck with me and I knew I had to get it for her. Hope Heaven is treating you well ❤️ May we meet again ♾️

As soon as I watched the glorious Octavia as Blodreina I knew I had to cosplay her!

I made this costume from scratch out of faux leather held together with shoelaces and grommets! I painted the leather with acrylic paint to stain it. It was surprisingly not too difficult!

The sword was a LOTR prop sword that I covered in fake blood and wrapped the handle in wire and fabric. The wig was a cheap Morticia wig that I cut to the right length.

I went to a Halloween Ball in this costume and it was perfect for dancing in! I will save it as a cosplay for future conventions.

Abby was a doctor. Abby was the doctor. Her head is humanity's last source of modern medicine. If I was on the ground and somehow in a position of power, the first thing I would do is keep Abby safe at all costs. Ask her to tutor and teach as much as she can.

season 3 is peak rage bait. skaikru was FINALLY getting their peace & could live without war and mf farm station came and put them back to the beginning.

Game of Thrones was more violent and had nudity. Same story with The Sopranos. Those are 2 of my all time favorite shows. I can't believe this little CW show ended up being so good! I'm on my 3rd re watch now. The acting, writing, creativity, suspense and drama here are all top notch. I was a skeptic and put this show off for years. I thought without the TV-14/MA rating, I wouldn't be interested. Boy was I wrong. I tend to like more "real world" shows (Yes, I know I like GOT). I've never seen any Lord of the Rings or any Harry Potter and don't venture in to Sci-Fi often. I thought that was the target audience here. After my first two watch's of The 100, I couldn't stop thinking about it. To me, it's the best non rated R series ever next to Breaking Bad. What a fun ride from start to finish. Bravo 100, you knocked this outta the park!!!

I came across this photo of Richard Harmon wearing that hoodie (very John Murphy vibes). I’ve never seen that before and was wondering if anyone knows whether it was official merch, custom-made, or if there’s anywhere you can still buy one. Any info appreciated! Thx!

Just checked this morning, The 100 is now streaming for free on Pluto TV ❤️

Watching first time, just wanted to say, this is the best show I ever seen. So much character development and to keep me entertained every episode for 40 min each my god.

I’ve been casually rewatching and damn early Bellamy really really sucked. From the culling to the massacre in the grounder village. So much is directly and indirectly linked to him

Just finished my 3rd re-watch of this show and I swear every single time I realize how pivotal and honestly correct Jaha is about most decisions. Reading through quite a few posts on this sub I don't understand how people misunderstand him so badly. He was easily a stronger leader than any other character in the show 2nd only to Kane. But I'll rant about that a different time.

What really caught my eye on this re-watch was the idea that Jaha was right about the Bunker. Before getting into any moral discussions, I want to argue what I think is an objective fact. Skaikru was entitled to every single one of their people being in that bunker for a multitude of reasons. I'll get into them below:

• Jaha found it. This honestly should be enough reason. Nothing else needs to be said here
• Skaikru was the only clan making a legit effort to survive Praimfaya. Now before saying "well they got help from Roan and Trikru protecting them, allying them etc.", I want you to remember that Skaikru wouldn't have needed this assistance if the grounders actually tried to help find a solution. ALL THEY DID WAS FIGHT. It baffles me when I hear oppositions to this argument because viewers don't understand that even knowing about Praimfaya, no grounder clan did anything to try and survive it. All the thinking and solution searching was Skaikru
• And of course, the final most practical reason is that Skaikru is the only group that knows how to operate the bunker. I think this is pretty self-explanatory

This would have been such a simple solution too. As soon as Octavia won the conclave, she lets Skaikru take 500 slots and splits the other 700 among the 12 clans. The grounders were willing to give it all to one clan anyways for a conclave, they would have agreed to this proposal.

Or heck, Skaikru should've abstained from the conclave said "we won't participate because not a single clan can survive without our people operating this bunker"

I hate the fact that the prequel isn't happening. Callie is such an amazing character, and wish we got to see more of her and Becca. They alone could carry the prequel.

There are so many storylines that could be explored with not just the ark, but with how Callie steered the grounders and how their cultures evolved. How many survived the bombs on the ground? Did Callie interact with Mount Weather? Who are her descendants, when and how did she die, etc., etc.?

It's been 6 years-ish since it was cancelled, so I know it's not happening, but Callie and Becca deserved better pff.

The more people hate Clarke in Season 5, the more I feel that the show failed in the way it presented her story.

Only about six and a half months passed between the moment they first set foot on Earth and the day Praimfaya struck. Yet that brief period takes up more than half of the entire series everything through the end of Season 4. In Season 5, the show uses flashbacks to reveal what happened to each character during the six years and one week they spent apart before finally reuniting.

Because Clarke’s journey with her friends occupies the first four seasons, it naturally feels enormous from the viewer’s perspective. Within the actual timeline, however, Clarke spent far more time living with Madi than she ever spent with any of them. To Clarke, Madi was not simply someone she met during the time jump. She was the person with whom Clarke survived, lived, and formed a family for more than six years.

That, to me, fully explains why Clarke values Madi above all of her old friends. The problem is that the audience experienced six years with Madi only through a handful of flashbacks, while experiencing Clarke’s six months with the others across four entire seasons. The emotional weight felt by Clarke and the emotional weight felt by the audience were therefore completely out of balance.

For that reason, I think much of the hatred directed at Clarke in Season 5 is ultimately a failure of presentation. The show expected the audience to understand six years of love and attachment without giving that relationship enough time on screen to feel as real and substantial as it was supposed to be.

I finally finished watching The 100. Bellamy was right. And Clarke shot him. Then, O & Echo instantly forgave Clarke.

When they realise he was right about the whole transcendence thing, where was the regret from Clarke? Where was the anger from O & Echo? Poor Bellamy.

Guys I am SO HAPPY! I was so so sad a few weeks ago when I went to start another rewatch on Netflix and saw that it was leaving. I made it a bit over halfway through season 5 before it was gone. It has been so sad to not turn it on after work the past week or so… and just feels weird to have stopped randomly in the middle.

But then yesterday morning I opened a present from my parents and… the entire DVD box set!! I texted my mom well after I sent her my initial list just in case she wasn’t done with her shopping and I was so surprised I actually got it!

My heart is so so happy ❤️❤️❤️

I must admit, Alycia Debnam-Carey executed her ruthless-turned-warm character brilliantly. That said, I will die on this hill, Clarke of the Sky People and Lexa kom Trikru had no chemistry. Zero. Zilch. From the moment they first appeared on screen together until Lexa’s last breath, there was never a single moment where I thought, This is the ship of all ships. This is the love of all loves.

The only reason this ship ever set sail was because fans demanded it. This “love story” wasn’t part of the original narrative, Jason Rothenberg retconned it entirely as fan service. And as history shows, Rothenberg has a habit of rewriting relationships. For instance, Clarke and Bellamy were meant to be endgame, but he pulled the plug at the last minute.

The truth is, Clarke never had much romantic chemistry with any of her onscreen partners. The person she had the most natural, compelling dynamic with was Bellamy, and the only intimate moment they ever shared was a hug.

Now I watch it on Pluto and the constant commercials are testing my patience lol. Definitely took for granted the luxury of being able to marathon without interruptions. I mean it’s not a big deal, ijs lol
No real point to this post…just complaining lol

1. Abby has to be the most annoying character I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. How are you going to fall in love with a man who flogged you in public (I forget the actual term they used for when you get electrocuted with a cane thing). I know she has done many dumbfounding things that are even a bigger deal and more detrimental than this but this one just left me scratching my head. I would never be able to move past that even if I was the one in the wrong, sorry.

2. Murphy was the best written character in the entire show. The development from this seemingly angry, bratty bully to this forgiving, responsible person who is a team player is amazing to witness. I think he and Emori saved each other.

3. It was so infuriating in season 5 to watch a group of humans so incapable of reason that they'd rather destroy the last remaining piece of land than just share it. Yes, the convicts were the main aggravators of this but there are so many other choices that Octavia could have made that would have at least made things less terrible. She could have have had faith in Monty's algae Idea, he had proved it could work, but she was honestly so blood thirsty that it consumed her. She saw the sonic cannon in action and she thought she'd win a war against that with swords and spears? They had no chance from the very beginning. Season 5 Octavia had me crawling up the walls with rage. Just doing the most for no fucking reason.

4. Lexa was not a good leader. She knowingly abandoned her people when they needed her the most. Also, the whole romance storyline between her and Clark didn't really fit or hit. Niylah and Clark would have even made more sense.

5. Season 5 Bellamy is so daddy. I will not elaborate.

6. I think Indra is very underappreciated. She could be stubborn at times, but her heart was always in the right place. She is a fierce warrior, a fierce mother, a fierce protector and guide.

7. The whole ascending, shepherd storyline was very unnecessary to me. It even made me miss the raw, straight forward, tribe conflicts and battles of survival storylines of the earlier seasons which was the entire reason I was drawn to this show in the first place.

8. I want to take this opportunity to thank Lincoln for starring in many of my bean flicking sessions. May we flick again.

9. I genuinely respect Jasper. He acknowledged that it was all too much for him and he chose to bow out. I was upset with him at first because I thought the bromance between him and Monty should have been enough to keep him going but he was making everyone so miserable that for a moment I despised him.

10. All in all as a lover of the post- apocalyptic genre, I enjoyed this show.

It’s rare to find a show that balances pure entertainment with genuine philosophical weight as well as The 100 does. I was actually revisiting some of the themes recently and realized how much of the character development had slipped my mind.

The emotional arc for someone like Jasper is a standout, but the heavy lifting really comes down to the impossible choices Clarke and Bellamy have to make. They carry so much of the burden for the group.

Honestly, it’s hard to say if any moral dilemma in the series ever topped the Mount Weather arc.

The sheer scale of that decision was brutal. I’m curious—which of the show's moral quandaries stuck with you the most?
