I find this so funny

I am on season 1, episode three of the show(yes I know I am late). But I genuinely find it hilarious how Octavia has like 4 love Interests or people that like her in just a few episodes (Jasper, Monty, Finn and the other guy who kisses her.)

The downfall of the 100 was making season 3 too packed. It should have been spread out and ended with season 5.

I truly believe ending with season 5 and growing that patch of earth that Clarke and Maddie lived on should have been the ending where they all came together or something. I think season 3 and 4 is where the plot started to get lost because it was so full and don’t get me wrong it was great but they did everything they could have on earth. If they wanted to do 7 seasons that should have spread it out more and gone into depth on the ground capitol and city. Explored Luna storyline, The bloodreina and time in the bunker a bit more and etc.

13th rewatch

I found this show two years ago today actually. Currently on season 2. I’ve been thinking for a long time how the f did the mountain men think they could actually live on the ground after everything they did to the grounders? Did they really think they would survive long? Am I dumb? lol

Fanfic recs please

Hi, As a new the100 fan who just finished bingeing the series I would love to fill the void that it left with fics.

I would love fics that are set in the canon universe between the time period of s2 and s5. No alternate universe. If it's set in arcadia - great.

Would love to have the delinquent crew, dad!kane, bellarke being "besties" (but everyone around them knows), spacekru and their shenanigans etc. just all of them having a good time after all the hell they've been through in the series.

(I did try my best to search through a03 to find good ones but I'm just not clicking with any, so if you have any favs, shoot✨✨)

I see a lot of Finn hate.. and I disagree with it

Finn is a good guy. He has a good heart, he’s fun, funny, he’s loving and so thoughtful with the girls he’s with (I mean - he went out of his way to make sure his girlfriend could take a spacewalk because she got rejected on the test - and then took the fall when it turned badly - what a sweetheart!!!!).

After the village slaughter, he had the chance to murder another grounder and he didn’t - he let him run away.
I really do not see any “bad” or “crazy” in Finn. He went through a scenario most of us could never fathom - losing the person you love and truly not knowing if they are alive or dead, hoping they are alive and searching for any proof of it. From a third-party perspective, he found the people who had Clarke’s dad’s watch and their peoples’ clothes. I would not be so forgiving in that moment either. The proof he was looking for was all there.

I wanted Clarke and Finn to end up together. RIP Finn.

My though about Mount Weather

First of all, it’s incredibly well written, and as a frenchman i see parallels with french resistance through the last episodes of S2. It’s also very realistic as they are all descendent of the USA, and more importantly, of the US state, which are, and always have been, genocidal supremacists.
The fact that they NEVER tried diplomacy, not with the grounder and not with the skykru is logical given who they are and also their biggest error.
They needed grounder’s blood, as there were frequent leaks of radiation. When the skykru came and they imprisoned them, Cage I wanted to incorporate them into the bloodline to slowly create resistance.
But they did not try that with grounders. I think that’s a big mistake on their part. I don’t think once they discovered grounders they immediately thought of them as savages : they know that they come from the same place, and that they all have been trying to survive since the bombs. Also, i think a lot of their traditions were not as extreme or as installed, as they had few time to develop this culture, which would have then been midway from modern america and what we see in the show. I think they just didn’t get along then, and trying to incorporate grounders would’ve been too difficult for them to do, hence their choice to use their blood. This choice had one great advantage : it’s easy and makes them survive. But it would never allow them to go to the ground for another centuries, as the blood is only a temporary cure. They could not have relied on donation either. But Mount Weather should have abducted women grounder to use as reproductive machines, linking their bloods and effectively create a resistance to radiation. This would be greatly unethical also, but would not deteriorate their relations with the grounders as much as the reapers and blood system did. Eventually, the question of the territory would have appeared, but i think with a little war and their great technology they would have come to an agreement and live side by side. Having made this choice of a perpetual genocidal war was an enormous mistake, and if the skykru came down elsewhere on earth, they would have not survived, as the centuries they needed to adapt combined with the enormous rates of radiation added by primfaya would have never allowed them to go outside, the bunker dying faster than the radiation (like the Ark).
They had a great opportunity when the 100 and then the Ark came down. Culturally and technologically, they were very close and could have formed an alliance against the grounders. Mount Weather could offer shelter, protection, and knowledge of the terrain to the Ark i. exchange for voluntary and controlled bone marrow gifts. They also could threaten them with their missile. I think the skykru would have been very willing to make this deal and both could have developed on a controlled territory they could have imposed control over after a war with the grounders (which i don’t think would be necessarily unethical). They could have formed one people and develop in peace.

Looking for Roleplay Partners

Hey!!

I'm looking for someone to roleplay the show with, we can changed stuff up while following the plot or make our own plot in the world. I can play almost anyone in the show and I am willing to double up so we can both have a pairing if you want. I'm hoping to find someone to play Murphy for me but Bellamy is my second choice. I am semi literate when I write and would prefer you to be the same or longer but as long as you write enough for me to have something to work with then I'm fine. I am also over 18 so I would prefer i you would be too but I don't do anything 18+.

Kind of a crazy question (meant to be light-hearted pls)

Hello all, I haven't watched this show BUT unfortunately I know all about how much the finale was hated, especially for fans who really liked the main couple. I'm in a completely different fandom (which I will leave unnamed) and I just want to know how did y'all manage to cope with the anger and betrayal you felt. Like genuinely, what do you think is a healthy way to process this stuff when it comes to fandom. Sometimes characters and stories mean so much to me and I have no idea what to do with the intense negative emotions.

Someone once said they printed a picture of the showrunner and threw darts at it and I just wanna know your tips and tricks 😭

The Audience Inherited Skykru's Perception of Murphy Without Questioning It

I have just finished a binge of 'The 100' after discovering it accidentally. I didn't even know I was watching it (I thought it was the next episode of the last show I was watching), until a few minutes into the first episode. I was hooked pretty much immediately, and I've just finished the finale! Fell a bit flat for me, but I tend to appreciate things like 'The 100' in their entirety rather than how they ended. I absolutely loved the show. Solid 9/10 for me.

I have loved reading all of your contributions, and I wanted to make one of my own that I'm quite passionate about. I've been reading a lot of discussions about John Murphy lately, and one thing I keep seeing repeated is that he starts the show as 'the asshole character' before eventually earning a redemption arc.

Introduction

I am just off the back of the show, and my immediate reaction is that I completely disagree with that framing. Not because I think Murphy was secretly a saint or a great guy, but because I honestly don't think the show ever gave me a good reason to see him as uniquely bad in the first place.

I think the audience has bought into or been captured by the rest of 'Skykru's perception of Murphy without ever really asking themselves whether the group was actually right about him.

People talk about Murphy like he starts as 'the asshole', and slowly becomes more human or 'good' over time. That was never how I experienced the character at all. Maybe it's my natural bias for the underdog, but watching the show, Murphy felt less like the dangerous outcast and more like the group punching bag, the easy target.

The Hanging Scene

While it didn't affect my enjoyment of the show and I understand why they did it, the hanging scene completely broke my suspension of disbelief.

The group falsely accuses Murphy of murder, literally hangs him for something he did not do, and after that the social framing of the show STILL acts like Murphy is the one who needs to earn everyone's trust back.

Realistically, a group that literally lynched someone unjustly would either fracture over it or become deeply apologetic to the victim. Instead, everyone basically moves on and Murphy somehow remains the 'sketchy, untrustworthy one'. I can't even remember if he got a damn apology for the whole incident xD No one seems traumatised over it, and yet everyone demonstrates a capacity to be traumatised at their actions, Bellamy in particular. If John had died, Bellamy would been a murderer from that point forward. I never felt the 'weight' of that from anyone but John himself.

Bellamy

Ballamy and Murphy BOTH participate in the early 'Lord of the Flies' spiral, but Bellamy gets framed as a conflicted leader while Murphy gets framed as fundamentally rotten. But if you actually strip away the music, the charisma, the narrative framing, and the plot requirements, I struggle to understand why Murphy is treated as or seen as uniquely awful compared to basically everyone else. John is also framed as uniquely sadistic during this period, which was something I kinda judged him for earlier until the Pike flashbacks, but at the same time a huge amount of that comes from presentation and charisma rather than an actual comparison of actions and motivations.

Let's also not forget before ANYTHING was said or done, Bellamy shot Jaha. As much as I love Bellamy, I don't understand why I was supposed to root for him or assume he's any better than John.

The Pike Flashback

The Pike flashbacks just reinforced the view that John was never uniquely or fundamentally bad. Murphy wasn't some uniquely broken sociopath dropped into an otherwise healthy social environment. The Ark had already turned him into the kid everyone was comfortable humiliating and abusing long before they ever reached the Earth. He lost both his parents, which again I'll come back to, but that meant he was vulnerable. From his perspective, his teacher beat the living shit out of him, literally pummelled the guy, and his classmates

I’m not into biology or anatomy so I’m asking the people who are, would it actually work? It doesn’t feel like it would but yet again, science never fails to amaze me. I do know that most of the scientific stuff on t100 are incorrect but I’m very curious about this one. Same with bone marrow, would that work? I feel like theres more to it than just blood, even if the blood thing works, wouldn’t the other cells still suffer under radiation or is it completely tied to blood?

abby isnt that bad

i think there are way worse characters than abby but for some reason she gets all the hate. correct me if im wrong im on season 2 right now (im rewatching) but i dont think shes done anything horrible till now except snitching on her husband (which wasnt because she was trying to be a bad person she just was naive enough to think they would spare him). ive seen people hate on her for sending clarke to the ground but if they didnt do that shed be floated anyway. she was the reason skaikru found out that the ground was survivable, if it wasnt for her theyd still be rotting in space while the kids on the ground probably died. she saved numerous lives by just being a doctor. she announced that the ark was dying so that they wouldnt have to kill people without them knowing. she didnt take dianas bribe and decided to not betray her people and her ideology. ofc she wasnt the best mother or wife, yeah the drug situation sucked but she was pretty good in the early seasons, im not saying she was perfect (most characters suck) but shes way overhated.

Azgeda Markings?

Hey all so im currently in the middle of writing a fic and I'm about to have my OC give herself Azgeda facial markings but im having a lot of trouble coming up with an idea for the shape so I thought id ask yall for some input. Without going into too much detail about the backstory/arc, this is a pivotal moment for her where she officially "switches sides" from Skaikru to Azgeda. She's using a found object in the dungeon of Polis, its an emotional moment of betrayal. I don't like the idea of just straight lines because I feel like they would look like she just got scratched by a panther or something😅 I like how Ontaris scars are asymmetrical and have like a flow to them, so im thinking something along those lines, but also something not too precise since shes not actually using a real blade.

Rewriting the show

Basically what the title says!! I really want to rewrite the show/do my own version of it, but I don’t know how many people would be receptive to it/even read it.

My biggest problems with it are how they use South Asian concepts of spirituality/reincarnation without actually having South Asian actors spotlighted (it’s pretty much only Sachin Sahel and Dichen Lachman). I’m South Asian so that aspect really bothered me! There’s South Asian characters in the books, so I want to incorporate them too.

I think the show falls into a trap of focusing on fantasy forms of oppression (ie. the entire Nightblood system & placing emphasis on how only they are able to be commanders— even if it IS because of the flame) and also just… confuses me? I guess it makes sense that “traditional” human life/life before Praimfaya is forgotten, but at the same time, it feels completely different!! The Grounders are largely descended from defectors who realized they didn’t want to be in a cult. It’s always confused me how they didn’t pass down knowledge of life before Praimfaya at all (or at least not MUCH of it).

If I keep going, I’ll start rambling, so, TLDR: I’m thinking of rewriting the show and incorporating elements of the book into it, but want to hear people’s thoughts on that.

Rewatch - After all these years the Finale is still unforgivable (spoilers)

I rewatch the 100 once a year. It’s my absolute favorite show of all time. But even after all these years, I still LOATHE the vast majority of Season 7. The superior alien storyline is the worst. Just, WHY.

However it’s satisfying to watch Clarke barge in the testing area, shoot Cadogen and then challenge this idea of moral superiority the alien race has.

And the dead don’t transcend? Wtf. I’m still upset over what they did to Bellamy’s character, and the fact he’s not back with everyone.

Ugh. I could rant about so much, but the real nail in the coffin was the dog not transcending. HOW DARE THEY. If anyone deserved it the most it was that dog.

Anyway, I love this show…but I will always hate how they ended it.

mostly stood and watched.

I just never bought into the idea that I was supposed to even expect John to act in the groups interest.

John's Parents

Granted this happens much earlier in the show, but on the ground there are a few scenes where John is treated with contempt for the crimes of his parents. I think one or both of his parents were floated for stealing medicine for him, one of the most sympathetic 'crimes' committed in the entire show. That's not greed. It's not ambition. Not violence. Desperation. And yet I vaguely remember a few snide remarks being made to John about him thinking he 'deserves to live more than anyone else'.

A crime, by the way, that Abby committed too when she saved Jaha. That is framed as tragic, compassionate, morally difficult, whereas Murphy's parents doing the exact same thing gets lumped in with the general perception that Murphy comes an inherently selfish or criminal background.

Almost every other prisoner receives sympathy from one another for whatever draconian rule landed them in jail. Octavia for example, is framed as a victim of Ark law. The audience is encouraged to see her existence as evidence of the system's cruelty. Murphy's family are also victims of Ark law, but somehow the emotional framing around Murphy often remains "he is selfish, of course he's trouble". Heck, if John is gonna be treated as selfish because his parents stole medicine to keep him alive, why on Earth does Raven get redemption for her spacewalk?

Conclusion

What actually makes Murphy uniquely bad?

A lot of people say Murphy became trustworthy later in the show. I felt almost the opposite. Murphy was one of the ONLY people I would've trusted from early on, because he was emotionally legible.

He usually says what he means. He rarely hides self-interest behind morality. He reacts to betrayal like any human being actually would, and whenever someone genuinely treats him like one of their own, he almost always responds accordingly by becoming more dependable, more group-oriented, and he demonstrates with Emori that he can be fiercely loyal and actually completely selfless, if he feels someone has earned it by giving that back to him. It would have been unreasonable for me to expect him to act in any other way at virtually every point in the show based on how other people treated him.

John usually became exactly what people expected him to be. Treat him like one of yours, and he acts like one of yours. Treat him like an outsider and he acts like an outsider.

The more I think about it, the more I feel John wasn't a force for bad in the show at all.

He was a mirror.

I posted this purely to generate discussion and to share my thoughts - please let me know what you think!
