The 5th to final episode of The 100 ever. This was a make or break episode in many ways. There were lots of things to be excited about coming into 7x12, but I'm left feeling utterly disappointed after watching what was actually a pretty good episode of The 100. All hope I had for Bellamy Blake getting a good ending to his story is gone. Bellamy is being written the way the writers wanted his story to head, not the way that would've been authentic & true to his character. The last little bit of hope I had for Bellamy & Clarke getting together, is gone as well. Imagine how great that scene would've been if Bellamy saw Clarke's radio calls to him in those years they were separated. That could've not only snapped Bellamy out of the BS he's believing in, but it would've also catapulted us towards a Bellarke endgame. Instead, we got a short, pointless scene of Clarke struggling in the chair. Sigh.
Some positives I have for the episode: Bellamy talking to (mostly) Clarke & Octavia in their cell was incredible. Imagine if we could've seen Eliza & Bob acting together more in Season 7.. Just that one scene alone delivered a ton of heartfelt emotions that other episodes have struggled to produce. I absolutely loved this scene, even though it might've sealed Bellamy's fate of having a terrible ending & possibly dying while everyone still hates him. I also loved all the stuff with Murphy as well, I feel like the writers have done a great job staying consistent with him by building upon the 6 prior seasons of character development he's had. Seeing how great of a job they've done with Murphy just makes me more upset over how they screwed up Bellamy Blake's character so much.
The ending is great as well. We see Bill send our group to a planet other than Sanctum, assuring Clarke they'll be safe if she follows through with her word. Then it ends with Clarke returning to Sanctum & coming face to face with Sheidheda & a tied up Murphy.
The trailer for 7x13 shows that it's gonna be Clarke, Bellamy, Raven, Cadogan, Gabriel, & Douchette all on Sanctum now after going through the anomaly. It unfortunately looks like the episode will also be mostly filler though, as it seems they're gonna be dealing with bugs... yeah. I'm really curious to see what the real endgame for the show will be. It's going to either be a war against Sheidheda or the "Last War" stuff with the anomaly. My gut is telling me those two events aren't going to end up being the same thing, so I'm curious when/how we'll see them both play out & what the aftermath will be. 4 episodes left..
