How…
…
…
DARE YOU.
How dare you, The 100. You have played with my emotions, you have made me scream and cry and gasp and gape and yell all manner of expletives at my TV screen, and now you are LEAVING me with so many questions and my brain is exploding and my heart hurts.
I NEED A MOMENT.
I think you guys are with me when I say, WHAT. THE.
Was that burnt corpse Finn? Or Bellamy? Did the Mountain Men take everyone back to Food Mountain, or just a select few? How’s Raven holding up? Where did the Beautiful Creepster scamper off to? Are Abby and Kane aware of their sexual chemistry? How do the Mountain Men keep their whites so white? So many burning questions! (See what I did there… burning… cause there was a lot of fire… okay, moving on)
Let’s wipe away our tears, pick our brains off the floor, dust them off a bit and jump right into this nightmarish hellscape.
Clarke closed Raven’s gunshot wound with a burning knife. Typical teen stuff. Then Raven filled them in on the copious amounts of rocket fuel they have been treading upon this entire time. No big deal.
Bellamy and Finn had a bro-standoff that was a long time coming, then Bellamy got a rousing pep talk from our heroine.
And they were off!
The moment Clarke told Bellamy he had done a good job was very touching, and it really showcased how far these two have come as leaders. Bellamy may have started out a nefarious, selfish criminal, but he’s grown into a hero and it’s lovely to watch.
Boom! The 100 does NOT waste time, you guys! That was a very cool death. A very cool death. That actor should be pleased with the whole experience.
Anyway, they very quickly ran back to their camp without any other casualties, which I thought was miraculous. How long had they been walking? I thought it was a long time, but maybe they didn’t get very far because they were in slow motion.
Clarke made the executive decision to stay and fight. I don’t know how you guys felt about this, but I was very happy they didn’t spend the episode running through a forest.
Then Clarke had the idea to blast off and burn all of the Grounders to a steaming, blackened crisp, and everyone was immediately on board.
Look at those crazy eyes! Dark Clarke is so excited to make spider dogs with the ashes of dead bodies!
Up at Space Camp, this fellow was explaining how the arc will get to the ground.
I think the basic gist is that a bunch of people will likely die (which we already knew). Then Quateranious gave a speech about survival. He loves speeches almost as much Bellamy. I wonder if they took the same public speaking class.
Then the world started to collapse around me because my beloved Raven said she can’t feel her legs. Finn volunteered to get medicine to save her, because he, like everyone else in the universe, recognizes Raven’s worth.
Up in space, everyone was tucking in for a fun-filled ride of death and destruction, when they realized something was broken.
Remember when Bruce Willis sacrificed himself to save Ben Affleck, and detonated the thing manually so that all of humanity could survive, and Liv Tyler put her hand on the TV screen and the entire universe cried? Anyway… what were we talking about?
Twist!
In all seriousness, when Thelonious sacrificed himself instead of Kane, and then said, “and I’ll see my son”, something strange happened to my eyes and liquid started pouring out. (Yes folks – I just used his real name that I legitimately had to look up, because he has earned it.)
Meanwhile, the Grounders were playing games with our teens, drawing their fire, and the Hundred were falling for it.
Didn’t Bellamy look like a disappointed Dad in this scene? He taught them better than this, you know?
Raven and Clarke were working hard on some literal rocket science (amazing line, writers), and had a heart to heart.
Raven said the words “I’m awesome” and I felt like all my beliefs had been affirmed. BECAUSE RAVEN IS AWESOME.
“Earth Stinks And So Do You” could have really taken off, and I think Tristan knew that. I understand why he’s angry.
Seriously though, are we surprised the Beautiful Creepster was captured by the Grounders? Nope. Are we impressed he didn’t tell them about the mines? Kinda! Is Murphy on the road to a character turn, or is he dead?
All hell broke loose and it was very scary! You guys, for real, the Grounders are a terrifying bunch. If I saw them creeping towards my teen shanty, I would not be very excited.
Octavia saved Bellamy because she’s badass now, and then she got shot with an arrow!
Then Finn ran into an old buddy.
Finn got the medicine from Lincoln, and then came up with the plan to drive the Reapers to the Grounders. Good work, Finn! I hope he and Lincoln high-fived, because that was a solid plan.
Meanwhile, Jasper and Clarke were taking instructions from Raven when she passed out.
Clarke went outside to bark some orders when everyone stopped fighting to gaze at the beautiful Arc-shaped falling star.
You guys, the dichotomy on this show is always very beautiful and smart. Here we see a bunch of people on the ground staring at what must look like a beautiful message of hope, and then we witness one of the stations exploding and see a woman caught in the fire. *slow clap*
Then, just as the Grounders were storming the castle, we heard the unmistakable sounds of Reapers!
They all looked very confused for a split second, then it was ON. These two groups went at each other like their favourite sports teams were playing against each other in the finals.
Finn and Lincoln running in the middle and then hightailing it outta there was one of the best comedic moments of this season.
Then The 100 attacked my emotions again with this:
I may get a bit of flack from the shippers, but I truly do not care who ends up together romantically, as long as the show continues to deliver moments like these.
Meanwhile our teens were not having the best day at camp.
Finn dove into the action to save Bellamy, and I guess he was too far away to run back to the ship? I dunno, I feel like the time they spent staring at each other sadly could have been used to STAND UP AND JOG BACK, but maybe Finn was just too tired, or maybe he pulled a hamstring or something.
Anya jumped into the dropship because her and Clarke had unfinished business.
Then Jasper got the blast to work and it was AWESOME.
Up in space (you guys, that may be the last time I use that segway!), Thelonious was hailing the fallen Arc, because what else is he going to do alone in space?
I have lived on Earth my whole life and even I was amazed by that beautiful setting. That’s in BC? Who’s up for a road trip?
I assume this is the last we shall see of Thelonious. Thank you, Isaiah Washington, for your thoughtful, emotional portrayal of this role.
The Hundred stepped out of the dropship and into the carnage, where Clarke stared very sadly at these particular corpses.
Then the air filled with red smoke!
Such intrigue! Such mystery!
Clarke woke up in a white room with a camera feed that had her NAME ON IT. How… but… how do they…? UGH – SO MANY QUESTIONS. On the bright side, look who she found!
Well, I never.
There are so many flaming unanswered mysteries, and I won’t insult you by listing them off because you know perfectly well what they are.
You guys, this episode was amazing. The 100 promised us death, and we got it. They promised us that some main characters would not be returning, and they made good (bye Thelonious!)
Season finales naturally make us turn back to the beginning and take stock of what we’ve gained, lost, and how the show has grown. The 100 started out a bit ridiculous, with hilarious teen threesomes, remarkable recoveries, iffy science, and incompetent guards. Well I’ll be darned if it hasn’t turned into one of the most thrilling, poignant and emotionally mature shows on TV.
Everyone involved with this deserves so many high fives, ice cream sundaes and congratulatory chocolate martinis.
SOME STUFF
- What are the odds our favourite extra Tim Bartlett is still alive?
- Murphy! What are you up to, Beautiful Creepster? Do you think he pulled the knife out of his leg, licked it, then smiled creepily and slithered away?
- I watched it twice and I still can’t figure out where Bellamy ended up. Was he caught in the fire blast? Was he in the drop ship? Did he and Finn sort out their differences and run away together?
- What will you be doing to fill your time now that season 1 is over? I will be making waffle houses and eating my sorrow.
Okay, folks. It has been a blast! See you all in October!!

I love it when my theories are correct. This was an amazing finale and I love that the Mountain Men showed up, looking forward to exploring that further. I was a little disappointed in the Reapers though. First off Finn stole that idea from Bellamy, secondly the fight between the Reapers and the Grounders seemed rather short lived. I loved the Bellamy/Octavia moment and that Bellamy has finally accepted Lincoln. I am sure we will see them again, perhaps a visit to the cost once Bellamy and Finn break Clarke and company out of Mountain Men quarantine. Because lets face it they aren’t dead, not a chance would they kill either of them off screen it will be a big dramatic drawn out moment if and when it ever happens. I am slightly worried about Raven though, if she lives she will be paralyzed (unless Mountain Men have miraculous medicine), and that will make escaping hard. Perhaps if they get her out she can go settle by the peaceful coast with Lincoln and Octavia. I was glad that the parents didn’t land right beside the kids, now it will be a struggle to reach each other, which is what I wanted if the adults were gonna come down. I am sad about Thelonius but I saw it coming when Kane tried to leave. Love that his girlfriend disappeared, but I’m very interested in where his friend from 2 episodes ago went, I loved him. Well definitely looking forward to next season, should be awesome. Fingers crossed Anya is still alive and the Mountain Men didn’t just kill her.

I think the smoke the parents saw was from the Grounder BBQ, when they get there and find all corpses they might think everyone is dead. We didn’t see the mountain men go into the dropship but it’s probable that they did, if not Abby might find her in there. Abby is a doctor but they didn’t have medicine left up on the ark so very likely not so much they can do. I think this was the end of Raven to be honest.

would have been cooler if an arrow hit Clarke in the back of her head when she was trying to get back to the “space vessel” thingy. but thank God , she didn’t die because otherwise we wouldn’t had the honour of seeing the size of her tits . Also when will people start shipping “Clabbie Because let me tell you something about “INCEST” . If I works on “G.O.T” it will work on this show

Great recap as always Toni_watches!!!
I think you brought up some fundamental questions here:
1) Did Bellamy and Finn sort out their differences and run away together?
2) Are Abby and Kane aware of their sexual chemistry?
3) How do the Mountain Men keep their whites so white?
I believe that as soon as those conundrums are solved, the world will be a better place for all of us!

It’s a good show but certainly not the breakout hit of the year. That title belongs to True Detective, Fargo and Penny Dreadful. Soon the list will probably also include The Strain and The Leftovers.

Agreed, although I have my doubts about Penny Dreadful.

Love your photo recaps Toni – they have made my week and will be missed til October! And now I have so many things I want to comment on! Am I the only person who laughed after Kane made his selfless decision to hit the switch – walks slowly through the cabin and no, too late. Walk of shame back to place, not actually a hero, sorry, excuse me, can I get my seat back. The photo recap always makes me laugh more than the ep though – Dave/Finn bromance, Finn/Bellamy romantic lead rivals. I really loved your “oooohh” “aaahhh” firework pictures – did they seriously all stop and gaze at the sky! Fave moment of the ep – Bellamy and O. Really touching without going too soppy. I am left with important questions – what the hell happened to that guy Wick(s)?What is under Miller’s hat? Did Jackson survive the drop? He has been so nice to Abby all series and she is quite snappy back to him – I think they would be a cute couple – Jabby! And most importantly – why did the mountain men not share shampoo and cleansing wipes?
I love this show – I haven’t been this sad and obsessed since Prison Break and I am waaaaaaaay older than target audience. For me the only way to judge a show is if it engages you and makes you desperate for me – achieved by the 100. Of course you can pick holes in it or get caught up with ships but is it fun people! Plus, I am a big fan of the CW for giving jobs to Aussie ex soap stars – Bob, Eliza, Luke Mitchell (Tomorrow People- he needs a new job now and would be awesome in the100?!) and Jay Ryan (BATB, was on Neighbours although he is really a Kiwi like me). I have no friends to share my obsession wiith because they are all old too and have real jobs,hence my long post.
Roll on October. But if Bellamy is dead I will cry

When it comes to the three girls they are all badass, brave, and strong, and Raven and Clarke are both very smart. Individually though I see them like this: Octavia is the reckless and wild one, sometimes immature. Raven is the cool & sassy one, very needy. Clarke is the Queen, the leader – selfless & sensible – making the tough calls.

As for our dearly departed leader whom we will now always refer to as Thelonious (despite the fact that we have thoroughly enjoyed the quality variations used by our awesome host.) He was most certainly named after this genius: Jazz legend Thelonious Sphere Monk! (1917-1982). Appropriate that Thelonious means ‘Ruler of the People’ (Germanic).
Rest in Peace to both. Isaiah Washington had to pay a long time for a mistake his mouth made one day at work for another network on another show, I think it was about a female doctor(?), and this was the perfect role to make us remember how good an actor he can be. Glad he got an opportunity to get a good part again. He did great work with it. Can we forgive him now?
That’s how you start a show in 12 episodes. Reminiscent of another favorite of mine that began with little fanfare -named after a strange movie about a cheerleader killing vampires. Fingers crossed they stick with 12 episodes and the same pace they are telling the story now. Not sure how it could keep up the pace over 22 but it might be fun to watch them try.
Who lived? Who died? Not our favorite ‘Raven’? She can’t die because we don’t want to have to continue hating on Murphy. (Cause he is also awesome.) Time to sit around and wait. As for Finn – you think his man (sorry Octavia) ‘Dave’ was going to let him get barbecued? Guaranteed that Octavia and Lincoln saved the boys.
Nice job show, very nice job Toni. Thanks for watching this one and relating your viewing experience and sharing it with us with pictures. ( One miniscule quibble – As for the new CW shows ‘Reign’ was a touch better than this one.)
Thank you CW for taking your ‘television aimed at young women’ mantra and finally making good on it this year with programs filled with wonderful non-stereotypical female roles and especially gifted actresses as the leads. Women making difficult decisions with their heads while abandoning what they might want or need personally for the good of others. These girls are too awesome. If either Eliza Taylor (Clarke, ‘The 100’) or Adelaide Kane (Mary Queen of Scots, ‘Reign’) wind up with an out of the blue nomination in lead actress drama, hell might freeze over, and it would be quite awesome. 2 of the strongest lead female performances of the year without question from this little network.
Whatever ‘IT’ is two actors on this show broke out this year and have ‘IT’ covered – Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley. These young people should have long amazing careers.

Literally about an hour before I watched the finale I was at my friends house and made 2 of my friends watch the first 2 episodes and they got hooked!!!! I had no-one else to talk to about the show, so I was super pumped to bring people I know into the fold. And then i went home and watched the finale. Rewatching the entire season with them is going to be awesome and yet the whole time I will know the season ended with so many unanswered questions!!! I’m not mad it is the finale’s job to create questions and new mysteries for the next season, but guys……. WHO THE FUCK ARE THE MOUNTAIN MEN? How much technology do they have? How much white linen do they have? DO they have food, resources, professional people? I want to freak out about them now but will have to wait til my friends catch up, then we will all have to freak out and wait til October. October? OCTOBER? That is like a million years from now!!!!! I loved it though and I will miss your recaps!!!

I’ve been shipping Bellamy and Finn as a bromance for a while now. So I was so happy to see my (Friend) ship became canon when Finn risked his life just to save Bellamy! So yeah, in my mind Finn and Bellamy are going to go on vacation then possibly put their hero hair on and look for the rest of the 100. I ship Bellarke (Romance) but Bellamy and Octavia is my absolute favorite thing about this show.

Jun 13, 2014
I know this show is amazing and awesome and innovative and surprising, but it also loves it’s sci-fi cliche nods! I can’t believe someone actually said this :
At least, nobody said, “It’s a bug hunt man!”- but I am pretty sure I heard the “Wilhelm Scream”-at one point. Maybe I didn’t, maybe it was just my imagination. But on the other hand, maybe they thought this could be the last episode, so they tried to work in as many nods to great sci-fi classics as possible. ( That is “Sci-fi”-not “Syfy” . This show is far better than anything that has ever been on “Syfy” ,but the actors are too good looking for this show to be on that channel.)
falafelfalifulfalafol
Jun 13, 2014
The 100 is so full of scifi homages… I know some people like that kind of stuff. Not me. I hope they made them all already and move on in next season.
In any case, I agree a lot with what you said about syfy. It’s a shame what they’re doing in that channel, as it’s a shame CW ends up producing a much better scifi show than any they’ve done in the last years…

You know, I’m only 30, which is the average age of a cast member playing a teen on a CW show , But I think, sadly, the audience is too young to know the references they do. Or the writers hope that they are! (so it can be there, to be something the kids get later on-which is awesome!) I am old enough to get it. But a lot of the young kids may not. I just kinda wish the writers would go for the even more old-school sci-fi references like “Them” or “It : The Terror from Beyond Space”- Those kinda nods would give the old cheesy sci-fi movie geeks a boner!-I’m not expecting that in the show..but I’m OK with that! Cuz this show is too damn good, good, GOOD to complain about which references they make!!!
falafelfalifulfalafol
Jun 13, 2014
The most clear indication of how young is its audience shows up when you see how all the time it’s compared to Lost and the Hunger Games, only occasionally to Lord of the Flies and never to Logan’s Run nor Earth 2 🙂

“Soylent Green” based on a book called “Make room, make room” by Harry Harrison.

Well. I would not generalise and say that “young” means “ignorant” Any dedicated sci-fi fan would be familiar with classics and cult movies / TV series.
It is just that Marketing will tend to compare a product they are trying to sell to the “most recent most popular main stream” success :-S
I loved the Logan’s Run TV series better. I found the ‘droid Rem (played by Donald Moffat) very funny. The same way I loved Ulysses’ tutor! I think I have some Earth2 novels somewhere…

I see where you are going, Clarissa29, and it probably will. I do suspect S2 is going in that direction too.
But it was before too. They lived in a enclosed society which killed the teens when reaching adulthood, they scaped to discover earth was survivable and returned to free all their mates to repopulate earth. Ok, the society was on the ground instead of space, but I find more elements in common than with Lost or Hunger Games.

I have two theories about the mountain men. The first is the most obvious – that they’re the military and politicians who stayed behind to save themselves (I guess because it wasn’t a guarantee that the Ark would work).
But does anyone remember early in the series, the discussion of the 13th tribe that just disappeared? This was before the different stations came together to join one big Ark. What if the Mountain Men are the 13th tribe? A little like the 13th district in The Hunger Games.
I’m still confused though as to why the Grounders don’t have some scary birth defects going on. It’s only been 97 years. 2 and a half generations at most since the nuclear apocalypse. If we have two headed deer, then we’re going to have some gnarly humans walking around. I guess that’s the Reapers, but why is there a difference?
Anyway, great recaps! I can’t wait for season 2!
jenny_d_b
Oct 18, 2014
They didn’t “stay behind” – the people on the Ark were only the remainder of the crews on the international space stations. No one else got up to it after the nuclear war that we know of. They believed everyone was dead down on earth. They wouldn’t think that if people had come to join them. Mt. Weather was probably a military station even before the war, so that those guys are military is logical. It’s possible the government got there, yes, but it’s also very likely the government/D. C. was wiped out in the first attack. That’s what would make sense strategically at least.
I figured the 13th station was a Russian one, since the Russian flag seemed to be missing from the Unity Day pageant with the different flags of major nations, which indicates this was a “cold war turning nuclear” scenario. The space station was probably blasted by the other because the Russian government had started the war or something similiar.

Awesome recaps this season! I’m sorry, but I can’t stand it when characters are in mortal peril and they stop to have an emotional moment. It’s like if you told someone you have a crush on them during dodgeball – not great dodgeball strategy (I don’t want to talk about it;) I felt like Finn and Clark were kind of insensitive to be going gaga over each other with Raven, you know, literally dying. I’m really hoping this imprisonment thing really is a quarantine and nothing something much darker.

I’m going to miss your recaps, Tony. Not only because of the laughts, but also because you nailed some of the characters from the first shot, as in Raven’s awesomeness, Clarke’s policy on fun, Finn and Dave’s friendship (I’d swear you took that one from nowhere, but it happened) and heroic Kane.
Great job! Already waiting for next season’s recaps.
P.S: I confess I thought of you when Raven agreed on her awesomeness. I’m confident she will be alive in S2. Not so sure about the beautiful creepster.

“I confess I thought of you when Raven agreed on her awesomeness.” Agreed, though I think the beautiful creepster will make it, maybe even help Bellamy and Finn break out Clarke and the gang. I have no reason to believe this other than the fact that the Beautiful Creepster is awesome and I don’t think anyone wants to see him gone for good.

I’ve a question, didn’t they ask Felix (know it’s not his name here) to pinpoint the part of the ark that won’t explode last ep? Or didn’t I understand that scene correctly? And if I did, did they stash all the important people (meaning Abby and Kane) on there so they’d surely survive?
About Murphy and the mines, maybe he didn’t know about them. He wasn’t involved in any part of making them. Is it possible the mountain men found him and locked him up to?
Fun recap, till next season
bluemorphotat
Jun 14, 2014
He did know about he mines because he knew Raven was working on that. When he ran for it he used the explosives Raven was using for making the mines, and that is why only one side of the camped was mined… The bit that is not credible here is that he was able to blow a hole on the wall without blowing himself…

Wow, I can’t even.. That was just an awesome finale! So many things happened!! And I just love your photo recaps btw they are extremely funny. :))
First of all, Bellamy better be alive!! Hopefully maybe building up a bromance with Finn out in the woods, so Bellamy can help Finn get some awesomeness. Because I like Finn as a character but seriously he needs to stop being the main romantic lead and focus on other things, I just don’t see the chemistry between Clarke and Finn at all.
In contrast to Clarke and Bellamy – loved their heart to hearts, they have become such a good leadership couple (even though they disagree all the time) and hopefully in the future that will lead to something more but they need to build up a good foundation first (which I guess was Clarke and Finn’s problem, their romance just felt very forced and developed too quickly)
And what the hell. Octavia left with Lincoln? Will that mean that we won’t see them very much in season 2 or are they meeting up with Bellamy and Finn?
And the mountain men.. what? Good or evil? I dunno! How many did they take? And we finally saw where Monty was! Glad he is still alive! Raven was probably taken and it seemed that Mountain Weather has medical training so I hope she’s still alive in the next season. I want to see Raven and Clarke become good friends, seriously Finn is so not worth it!
I know Murphy aka. beautifull creepster is a psycho but he is so fun to watch so I hope he is still alive and kicking. Hmm maybe Finn and Bellamy will run into him? Interesting trio.
Arghh and the Ark came down, and ofc Abby and Kane survived. But I’m guessing it’s gonna take them awhile to find the 100. And I do hope that it was the end of (Thelonious?), because I’m done with Ark scenes. Now season 2 can be all about Earth.. Sooo excited 🙂

I think the Mountain men are good.They probably took all of our heroes away from the grounders because Lincoln told Octavia when he wanted her to run away with him that they’d live with them.So I think we’ll see them in season 2 and everyone will worry about Bellamy & Finn and wonder if they’re still alive and they won’t see them until the ending of the season premiere or the episode after that.I bet in season 2,we’ll find out about a new group of survivors on Earth

Yeah I’m not that all convinced yet because if Mountain Weather is filled with military/political persons , I would guess they have some secret agenda, especially since the grounders were afraid of them and they were not all bad. Maybe the season will start with portraying the Mountain men as good people but Clarke and Co. will discover some deep dark secret they’re hiding 🙂 I dunno, but it is definitely exciting though 😉

Yah I’m thinking Falling Skies style season 2 with that government run “safe haven” and the leader ends up being a crazy dick. Should be fun no matter what though.

Who would you rather have guiding your civilization? The military men and politicians who hid in the mountain when the bombs went off or the Scientists, engineers and doctors who banded together to save the remnants of the old civilization? Okay, I kind of telegraphed that one but it is a bit of a gimme. 🙂

There isn’t much left from the scientist in the Ark, tho. They’re just a bunch of normal people now.

You are right….soooo many emotions. I thought you were talking about me when you described your reactions to this episode. I did the same things! Oh Jaha! I didn’t like him that much b4 but that scene Toni. That scene.
I laughed, tho, when the 4 involved in the effed up teen love thing were all cooly planning strategy in the war room together.
Yes. Bellamy/Octavia scene. Agreed…..tho I’m kinda a shipper. 😉
Love how the space/earth segments coalesced. The mountain men setup is impressive. Lots can happen for next season.
Raven is too awesome to die. Murphy is too evil to die (yet). Finn and Bellamy have to be alive. Finn and Lincoln have so many years to look forward to as hetero lifemates. And I just love Bellamy. Yay Monty! Jasper? Does he have any lives left?
For serious tho, Octavia/Lincoln story line will be exciting. Looking forward to what Abby and Kane will do next season (the writer’s did a great job of getting me involved in their characters, just in the last couple of episodes even). Can’t wait to see how everyone finds each other again.
Until next season. I’m gonna miss these recaps.

I’m dying at this “FYI I think you may still be the romantic lead.” “Tell that to the interenet.” So true it hurts. Sorry Finn.
The romance between Lincoln and Finn continues.
Why did Jaha use a cup for his drink instead of drinking from the bottle?
Clarke was awesomesauce coming up with the plan to cook the grounders. It saved them all from being killed…but of course they all got kidnapped right after. She’s still my favorite character. My crazy-eyed Queen.
Great stuff between Raven and Clarke. I hope to seem them become close friends.
I’m confused about Bellamy too. He just disappeared? Why didn’t we see him when we kept shots of Finn?
I’m super excited for the Mount Weather storyline.
