The 100 [CW - US] [** Spoilers **]

Episode 10 done. 6 to go.
I'm ready for this to be over.

It used to be one of the first shows I watched and I think if it hadn't been announced as the final season I would've dropped it again.

My thoughts too

This season has been all over the place - it's bad enough with all the different characters but then having to remember all the different time lines

Yeah with Bellamy back and the direction there along with the introduction of a decent Sanctum bad guy it's grabbed me again

Do you think the ones who built the throne actually took the skulls from the ones that were killed in recent episodes or did they get lazy and just take them from the gallery of skeletons already there?

Murphy has been the only character I've liked from near the beginning. Everyone else has been so inconsistent.
I just hope he doesn't actually believe he got through to the prisoner. He should know better.

A lot of trust issues in Sanctum. Inara was followed, then the follower was followed

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the skeleton gallery!

Still, the more skulls he harvests, the more nice furniture he can make!

A 3-seater sofa perhaps, or a full size corner suite, or even a chaise longue!

A pouf or two???

Next episode is September 9th and series finale on September 30th

Nope that was from way out in left field good ep in general though.

Do love Sheidheda/Russell you just know he'd kill them all and happily sit back on the skull throne

Unfortunately I knew something was gonna happen with sites

having headlines like "Showrunner talks major death".
The annoying thing is these sites would never review The 100 or barely mention it yet no problem using spoiler headlines

Yeah same happened with me , I thought it would be at one point. Was my own fault as was on TVline which usually reports on the show whenever something big happens

Maybe they had it in trailers or something that

someone would die then teased more than one

. I know I've seen that before in other shows

Yeah it would be something like one of these people is going to die and you will never see it coming. Arrow did it for one of the big deaths a few seasons ago where 2 characters were standing over a grave

And then there was one.

Didn't really feel like the penultimate episode of the series for some reason.

But for this episode

Don't buy the acceptance of Bellamy , sure his mot was going to kill every human on that planet because she felt they were complicit in his death only a couple of episodes ago !.

I really really dislike Clarke , she is a terrible leader completely lead by her emotions and ego.
She has been making terrible decisions without consultation for years that have devastating impacts on thousands and thousands of people and surely by now one of the bystanders would just walk up behind her and put a bullet in her head !!

in most cases her murders serve no purpose other than feed her ego , and ala Bellamy served no purpose , Octavia and Raven at least felt guilt over their decisions and Octavia in particular had far more trauma that drove her in the direction she went.

I really hope Clarke buys it in the last episode but I suspect she will end up being the person who takes the test which is nuts as she is the worst version of this humanity .

Season 6 was such a dip in quality that I had lost interest and had no intention watching the final season week-to-week, although knew I would always come back to it.

Started season 7 on Sunday night and just watched the penultimate episode there this afternoon. Not sure if its because I binge-watched it all over a few days or not, but I've actually really enjoyed the season, and barely noticed that half the cast would be missing from one episode to the next. Still nowhere near as good as the earlier seasons, but I like the characters enough that I've been invested again (and I really just wasn't last season). Looking forward to see how it all wraps up with the finale, and I hope they make that prequel series because I thought the back-door pilot for that was great.

I saw yesterday an article about one of the actors who was supposed to be in the prequel, Leo Howard, has been cast as a regular on another CW show, so there's lots of speculation that the prequel isn't happening now, or that it's been changed from the pilot.

I wouldn't say its dead in the water just yet, those sort of cast changes do tend to happen between a pilot and a series actually getting picked up, so more likely they would just re-cast that character were it to become a series.

I also remember reading back when they initially announced it that even if The CW aren't keen to pick up the series, that it was also being shopped to HBO Max and Netflix (and that those would actually be preferable as they wouldn't have the same restrictions).

I've my fingers crossed it'll still happen, until its confirmed otherwise.

For some reason I thought I read the prequel series had been picked up, but I see now that it hasn't.

Had anyone here read the novels? I never did but curious if they stuck to any of the novels.

Not sure exactly how to feel about the ending yet. I didn't hate it and don't think it was bad, and once I've had some time to digest I'll probably see that it was a fitting end, but I didn't love it either on first reaction. It'll probably grow on me, and in about 10 years or so I'll hopefully go back and re-watch the whole series and at that point I'll find the ending a lot more satisfying.

Yeah found the ending a bit of a mixed bag. Did like the return of certain actors though

Didn't hate the ending , would have been happier if Clarke had lived out her existence alone ! but at least it was Raven and Octavia that passed the test and not Clarke as they had some redeeming characteristics and Clarke was just awful.

Seen much worse finales than that but overall the last season was very poor, possibly the weakest of the whole series. Terrible things happened to Clarke during the series but I didn't feel any sympathy for her at the end. Captain eye patch has to be the worse enemy of the series and the idea of transcendence has been done better in other series. I guess I'm happy with the uplifting ending but the Madi ending was a bit rough.

I liked it for an ending. None of this "Open to interpretation" crap.

Hard to tell but was Emori there? I assume she was if Murphy was there. At least they had a reason for Madi not being there, though t's not like she can be in a relationship in the new place.

I guess Gaia was busy doing Sabrina during filming which is why she disappeared a lot and even just had that one shot at the end while it was obviously a stand in in a dodgy hairpiece for the rest of the scene
