- I like that Bellamy tells Octavia that she doesn't have to be the one to fight and that they could find someone else because I love how much Bellamy still cares for Octavia even though things have been bad between them for quite sometime. I'm not at all surprised that Octavia really wants to be the one to fight.
- I like that Clarke tells Octavia that she's got this before she goes off to fight and I like that Bellamy asks Clarke if she really believes this and Clarke says it's for the best if Octavia believes this because being realistic about the odds isn't going to make her fight any better.
- The whole Conclave deciding who gets to live or die based solely off who is the best fighter still feels wrong to me especially since more people would be able to survive if they just divided the bunker.
- I'm not really surprised that Luna is fighting because she doesn't believe that humanity really deserves to survive after all the things she's seen people do in order to survive but I'm also not thrilled about it.
- I like that Indra still gives Octavia advice even though Octavia isn't fighting for her because she's her as one of her people regardless and wants her to survive.
- I like that Jaha thinks that the whole idea of a conclave is wrong and they shouldn't be deciding the fate of their people based on a blood sport and I like that he worries that even if Octavia is the winner that the grounders might not accept their victory because their track record with the grounders in making deals with the grounders in the past don't usually work out in their favor.
- I'm not surprised that Clarke is thinking about finding a way to cheat since she doesn't believe that Octavia will be able to beat Luna but I like that Kane points out that if they cheat and get caught it will mean that their people will die anyway.
- I felt sad for Bellamy when he suggested that Clarke should be one of the ones to go see Octavia rather than him because he believes that he would just say the wrong thing and somehow make things worse. I like that Clarke tells Bellamy that him not being there for his sister would be worse than him not being able to find the right thing to say.
- I'm not surprised that Clarke tried to make another alliance with Roan in order to insure that Luna won't be the one to win but I'm not sure of how good of an idea it was to even mention anything to him in the first place.
- I really don't understand Roan's and the rest grounders philosophy about bloodshed deciding everything in their lives but I'm not surprised he doesn't care if humanity doesn't survive if his people isn't the part of it that does.
- I like that Kane had found out all of the warriors weaknesses beforehand and that he was telling them all to Octavia so that she could know the best way to fight them.
- I like that Bellamy tells Octavia that she doesn't need to fight everyone because one it's true she doesn't need to fight everyone to win and two he just doesn't want Octavia to put herself in more danger than she has to be in.
- I like that even though Octavia was mad at Bellamy suggest to avoid fighting at first she was able to see it as the smart move to make she did spend the first half her life hiding so she knows how to do that well and she realizes she actually only has to kill the last warrior in order to win.
- I'm going to assume that the reason Bellamy didn't hug Octavia before she went off to the conclave is because if he did it would feel too much like saying goodbye for the last time.
- I like that Octavia is sneaking around and using avoidance as the tactic for her fighting because it really is the smartest call at this point in the conclave.
- I like that when Bellamy tells Kane that he couldn't tell Octavia that he loved her before she left that Kane tells him that she knows that he does.
- I think that both Luna and Octavia had points in their argument with Octavia being right about Lincoln would want at least part of humanity to survive and that fighting for that is actually a worthy battle but I think that Luna was right that Lincoln would be ashamed of a lot of the things that Octavia has done because Octavia has done and enjoyed far more violence then what was necessary in the past view seasons.
- I like that Illyan wanted to make an alliance with Octavia, I was unsurprised when Octavia rejected it even knowing that the sky crew would be willing to share the bunker with others if they were the ones to win.
- I like that Bellamy figured out that Echo went out in the field to give the Ice Nation a better chance at winning and how he wanted to go out there and stop her before she got Octavia killed. I like that Kane convinced Bellamy to wait until nightfall to try and stop Echo since there would be a smaller chance of him getting caught then there would be during the day.
- I like that Illyan helped Octavia out when she was surrounded by four other warriors and that they defeated them together.
- I was sad when Illyan was shot by one of Echo's arrows(although I did like that they confirmed that Bellamy was right about her being out there before he snuck out)but I was glad that Octavia ended up mercy killing Illyan rather than having to battle him until the death and that she was sad about having to do that.
- I like that when Roan found out that Echo cheating on behalf of their people that he didn't approve of it and that he banished her from their people.
- I like that Roan decide to both spare Bellamy's life and not reveal that he was on the battlefield probably because Bellamy wasn't actually trying to cheat on behalf of his people but to stop Echo's cheating.
- I like that Roan tells Bellamy that he will tell Octavia before he kills her that she was lucky to have Bellamy as a brother and I like that Bellamy says how about instead when she's just about to kill you, you tell her that he was the lucky one. I also like that Octavia witness this exchange and was touched by it.
- I like that Roan purposes a temporary alliance with Octavia so that they can defeat Luna and humanity can survive through one of there people.
- I like that Octavia was smart enough to know that she couldn't continue fighting out in the black rain even if Luna can keep on fighting.
- I like how Luna talked about how she thought before that people were mostly good but their situation is what made them bad but after interacting more again with the other clans she started to understand both hers and people in generals inner darkness that never really ends up going away no matter how far away from it you go.
- I was glad that Octavia won and I think it's fitting that she won by stabbing Luna in the back because that was the only way she could really beat her.
- It kind of makes the whole conclave pointless now that Octavia announces that she wants everyone to share the bunker equally which had been suggested in the past but I'm okay with this decision.
- I'm not really surprised that Clarke came up with the plan for their people to take the bunker before the conclave was over since she'd do anything to make sure her people were safe and I'm also not surprised that she would have Bellamy kidnapped so that he would be inside before they locked everyone else out because she wouldn't want to survive without him.

TV Review: The 100: DNR(4.09)
The 100: DNR(4.09)Review
- I like that Emori doesn't believe that anyone is coming back for them after how she was treated by the others last episode.
- I liked that Raven assured Emori that the others will come back for them because Raven is too valuable be left behind although they would leave Murphy behind.
- I like that Raven got a vision where Becca told her how she could use the rocket to survive in space rather than in the bunker.
- I like that Illian is preparing the ground for those who will survive the radiation in the future that will need to use it for farming.
- I like that Illian sees no point in fighting now that the world is going to end in just a few days from now and I dislike that Octavia wants in on that fight.
- I like that Jaha tells all of the ark people to get ready to go to the bunker because that's where they will be able to survive what is to come and that it's likely that all of them will survive.
- I find it sad and a little scary how even with the chance of survival within grasp that Jasper is still planning to die and is convincing other people that this the better option, I understand that he truly believes this and isn't doing this out of malice but it still comes across as a but disturbing.
- I like that when Clarke found out that their people double crossed Roan and where planning to kill him that she warned him of the attack that was going to happen against him.
- I like that Clarke still had Roan's trust because she saved him and that this led him to be willing to talk with Indra and her people about all three of their people sharing the bunker together.
- I liked that when Clarke said that they would need their Chancellor at the meeting that Roan told her that she would be the best person to have at that meeting because no one would be better than her at convincing people that hate each other to come together in order to survive.
- I'm sad that Harper seems to be giving up hope on things since their going to have to fight yet another war in order to survive in the bunker now.
- I feel bad for Monty when he mentions that it seems that spend their last days wasted is common among the people that he cares about since Jasper has given up on life quite awhile ago and Harper now can't seem to find it in herself to fight another battle.
- I think it was a bit harsh of Monty to call Harper a coward but I get why he did it because he wants her to fight to survive.
- I find it interesting and worrying that Raven will die if she states down on the ground but she might have a chance to live if she goes into space.
- I like how when Emori figured that the others weren't coming back that Murphy kept telling her that they would find a way to survive somewhere else without the others help and I liked that even if his options weren't good ones that Emori was comforted by his words at least a little bit.
- I think it's ridiculous how Roan and Indra's people want to go to war for the bunker while they could all easily share it.
- I like that since Clarke now has nightblood that she wants Indra'a daughter to make her the commander so that she can prevent a war from happening.
- I liked that Jaha, Bellamy, Monty and Others tried to get Jasper, Harper and the others to leave with them so that they can survive.
- I liked that both Bellamy and Monty were against blowing open the doors since the others could be hurt by that.
- I liked that Bellamy pointed out to Jaha that in the past he sent children down to die on the ground and now he's demanding that they live and I like that Bellamy points out that the only difference this time around is that they get to make a choice for themselves. I like that Jaha allows them to make that choice in the end but I also get why Monty is against that.
- I like that when Monty asks if Bellamy would give up if Octavia was in there that Bellamy tells him that at least if she was in there he'd get to say goodbye to her.
- I liked that Octavia at least attempted to avoid the fight but I disliked that she ended up killing Illian's friends and deciding that's who she is.
- I like that Roan figured out what Clarke's plans once he found out that a new commander will ascend and that he used for he knew to stop Clarke's plans. I like that Roan decides that they should have a conclave rather than a war to settle their differences because it would mean less of their people will die.
- I like that Bellamy asks Jasper and Harper if they'd change their minds one last time before he leaves and that Jasper asks him if he wants to stay and Bellamy tells him he's not a quitter and I like that Jasper thanks him for understanding.
- I find it sad that when Bellamy tells Jasper May we meet again that Jasper tells him they won't.
- I like that Monty ended up staying incase Harper or Jasper changes their minds at the last minute because he wants them to still have a chance at survival and I like that it seems like Harper has some doubts about her decision.
- I like that Miller and Jackson came back for Murphy, Emori and Raven but I was sad that Raven decide to stay but I understand why she did it since she doesn't have any chance at really surviving if she goes with them.
- I like that Clarke tells Bellamy about the upcoming conclave and I like that Bellamy points out that there at the biggest disadvantage since they can't use guns, I hope that Octavia showing up at the end of the episode means good things for them.

TV Review: The 100: God Complex(4.08)
The 100: God Complex(4.08)Review
- I liked that while Raven, Abby and Jackson were all shown to not feel right about testing the nightblood while Clarke knows that they have to do it in order to find out if they can survive with it and I like that Emori and Murphy don't feel the need to questions the morals behind this decision at all since if it lets them survive that's all that matters in the end.
- I was sad that it looks like the nightblood solution isn't going to work but since there's still ten days before the death wave comes I'm not surprised that they haven't found the solution yet.
- I like that Jaha was shown giving a funeral for those who died from the black rain the day before.
- I liked that when Bellamy saw that Jasper was leaving camp on his own without a med tent that he went with him because he knows how dangerous it is out there and is worried about Jasper dying even if Jasper doesn't share those concerns.
- I like that it looks like there might be a different bunker that the doomsday cult had that Jaha is intent on finding that could save them all.
- I like that since the mission to find the flame keeper in order to find the bunker requires thinkers rather than fighters that Kane and Jaha chose Monty to go on the mission.
- I felt sad for Harper when she came to see that Monty was leaving for a mission and it was clear that she didn't see a way for either of them to survive the death wave so it's clear she doesn't like the idea of them spending anymore time apart.
- I like that it looks like Abby might be able to find a way to use nightblood as a solution still but I dislike that they're going to have to find a new person to test it on.
- I was really worried when it was revealed to everyone else that Emori lied about who the guy that they tested the nightblood was and I hate that they're thinking about testing it on her but I liked that Murphy tries to stop them from doing it to her but sadly all that does is getting him locked up along with her.
- I like how Jasper tells Bellamy that it's pointless to feel guilty about every bad thin you've done in the past when in a couple of days their all going to be dead and that he thinks that they should spend their last days doing whatever the hell they want.
- I like that Bellamy doesn't really get Jasper's point of view of nothing mattering because everyone's going to die because Bellamy is trying so desperately to make sure as many people as possible will survive while Jasper is welcoming death which I think is something that Bellamy now sees is the reason behind Jasper's behavior.
- I like that Raven is against the idea of them testing nightblood again because she sees what happens when they fail to basically just be murder that is ultimately pointless.
- I like that Luna is flat out refusing to let them use her blood to do anymore testing with nightblood because she doesn't want to be the cause of anyone's death again.
- I liked that Raven points out that taking bone marrow from an unwilling Luna is similar to what Mount Weather used to do.
- I liked that Kane pointed out to Indra that the radiation doesn't care which side your on so keep up the war now doesn't make much sense.
- I like that Indra's daughter is able to lead them to the temple which is where they believe the bunker is.
- I dislike how Indra kills all those guys when they could have gotten through without killing anyone but I understand the logic behind killing them since if there is a bunker there they wouldn't give it up if they were still alive. I like that Monty points out to Kane that their going to think the sky people were behind the killing since Indra used Monty's gun.
- I like that Roan told Clarke that she was born to lead because she doesn't back away from things when it gets hard and I like that Clarke tells him that it's always hard, I like that Roan tells Clarke how they have to do this so that they'll know that they did everything they could to ensure that their people live.
- I like that Jasper is able to convince Bellamy to join the party for a little bit and let someone else worry about saving the world for once.
- I liked that when Emori told Murphy that he should pretend to be okay with what their doing to her so that he doesn't give them a reason to make him the next test subject, that Murphy tells her that he will kill Clarke if she lays a hand on Emori.
- I like that Murphy begs everyone he comes in the room to take Emori away not to go through with the testing and I like that when he was begging Clarke that he told her that he loves Emori and then threatened to kill Clarke if Emori died.
- I liked that Clarke ended up putting the nightblood in herself and then told everyone that they will be testing her.
- I can't blame Abby for breaking the radiation machine because she had a vision that showed her that the nighblood wouldn't work so she couldn't let Clarke get inside it.
- I like that Monty figured out that you had to burn the seal in order to turn it into a key so that they can open the bunker which is one that can save them all this time and I like that Indra order her army to hold the temple.

TV Review: The 100: Gimme Shelter(4.07)
The 100: Gimme Shelter(4.07)Review
- I don't understand why Illian would want to help make sure Octavia survives since she tried to kill him last episode. I liked that when the black rain started coming down that Octavia decided to help Illian get out of the rain.
- I liked how it was shown how dangerous the black rain could be when all the people by the ark all rushed inside to avoid it and then doused themselves with water to protect themselves.
- I liked that Bellamy and Kane went out to go get the guy who had fallen during the mad the rush to get inside.
- I like that Bellamy is worried about whether or not Octavia is okay since she's far away from camp but I'm glad that Kane stopped Bellamy from going out and finding her since it's far too dangerous to go out into the black rain.
- I like that Clarke seems to be worried about Raven and her mom because she knows that both of them are working themselves too hard and she knows that there's something wrong with Raven's brain at them moment and suspects that her mom might not be okay as well.
- I find it interesting that Abby and Jackson came up with the idea to use Luna's bone marrow to make night blood but they took that option off the table because the only way to test it was to expose the person that they injected the bone marrow into enough radiation to kill a person.
- I find it sad how the guy that Harper feels guilty about not helping the guy that fell into the mud since he reached for her and she didn't help and now the only thing she can do to help him is make his death a peaceful one.
- I like that Bellamy wants to go out into the rain to save a man and his son and I like that part of the reason he is so determined to do so is because the son was part of the original 100 but I also like that Kane is trying to talk him out of going because the mission is basically an unnecessary suicide mission.
- I like that after Bellamy finds out that the suit he used to go out into the rain was useless that he made it to the rover and I like that he was still determined to complete his mission. I liked that Kane tried to talk Bellamy out of his mission and when that didn't work told him not to take an unnecessary risks.
- I liked how Emori told Clarke that her people were lucky to have her since she would do anything to save her people and I liked how Clarke told her that she not just trying to save her own people but everyone.
- I get why Emori would assume that the would use her as the one to test nightblood out on since she's an outsider and not someone they need but I really don't think that is what they would decide to do to test it.
- I like that Murphy after Emori tells him what she heard about testing out nightblood that he decided to talk to Clarke about it to ensure that Emori wouldn't be the person they used.
- I like that Clarke noticed that someone had broken into the house and that her and Murphy were able to get to Emori before the guy killed her.
- I was sad to learn that Emori was sold to Basil the man that broke in to kill her when she was young and that he use to hurt her and her brother when she was young.
- I really can't blame Emori for wanting to have her revenge by killing Basil for everything he did to her and her brother and everything he forced her to do in order to survive. Although I do understand why Clarke wants to prevent Emori from killing in revenge I also don't think this decision isn't one she should really have a say in.
- I liked that when Emori just came in and started beating up Basil who Murphy had tied up earlier that he just took a step back and watched over her. I liked that when it looked like Clarke was going to step in that Murphy asked Clarke if she could just let Emori have this kill.
- I liked that Clarke came up with the idea of using Basil to test out the nightblood with since no one really cares for him to live and his death could save them all.
- I was sad that Bellamy couldn't make it to rescue the man and his son since the rover got stuck in the mud and I felt especially bad for him since he pretty much had to hear them die over the radio and you can just see he's blaming himself for their deaths even though it's not his fault at all.
- I actually believe Octavia when she tells Illian that she doesn't feel anything after she kills people because that's what we've been shown in the past about her and I believe that the reason she didn't kill Illian had more to do with her feeling sad about Lincoln dying rather than not being able to commit cold blood murder.
- I thought it was good of Illian to save Octavia from committing suicide by walking out into the rain but I really dislike how she pretty blackmailed him into have sex with her since she needed him to make her feel something else.
- I like how Abby is worried about being a murderer for killing someone so that everyone else will have the chance to survive.
- I like that Kane tells Abby that sometimes in order to survive they have to do things that are bad so that they can live long enough to find there humanity again.
- I liked that when Bellamy was saying he was failure for not being able to save the man and his son as well as Octavia that Kane told him that neither of those things are his fault and that he tried his best therefore he has no reason to feel guilty.
- I liked that Kane told Bellamy that maybe the reason that he can't save Octavia is because she doesn't want to be saved and I liked that he told Bellamy that his mother would be proud of the man he's become and that he is proud of him, I also think it's understandable that Bellamy's only reply was to say that Kane floated his mother.
- I like that Illian is going back to his village, I like that Octavia threw away some of her daggers but I'm not thrilled about her going with Illian to his village.
- I liked that when Bellamy came back and Kane told him that there still isn't any word from Octavia that Bellamy repeated back Kane's words about not being able to save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
- I liked that when Emori revealed that the guy that broke in wasn't the guy that hurt her in the past but rather just someone other than her that they would use to test nightblood that Murphy was impressed and told her that's a survivor's move right there.

TV Review: The 100: We Will Rise(4.06)
The 100: We Will Rise(4.06)Review
- I find it interesting that Jaha mentions that the black rain won't actually be black and that the way they'll know it's black rain is from the chaos and death it will cause and I like how Jasper refers to that as the usual for them.
- I like how Jasper tells Jaha to just except that they're all going to die because he'll be much happier once he realize that and Jaha says they'll find a way some how.
- I like that Kane won't let his people beat Illyan to death because he knows allowing themselves to devolve into chaos isn't going to make things any better for them.
- I like that Raven is running simulation on getting to and from space before actually going their but I'm worried about if that mission can be successful since she keeps dying in all the simulations because they don't have enough fuel.
- I like the comments that Murphy makes as he looks after Raven while she's doing the simulations even if they aren't very helpful.
- I like that Nilyah is worried about Clarke since she never seems to sleep and tells her that she's doing a good job leading her people. I like that Clarke asks Nilyah stay because she wants to make sure she's there to get the nightblood once it's ready.
- I liked that when Monty was listing all the bad news about the damage of the ship that Bellamy asked if there was any good news and then Kane said the only good news is that nobody died.
- I like that Clarke, Bellamy and Roan and some of his guards are all going to the island to give Raven the fuel she needs to get the rocket to space.
- I liked that Kane wanted to go with to the island because he wanted to see Abby before she went to space because he knows that so many things can go wrong on that mission and he wants to see her one last time. I like that Clarke convinces him that he has to stay behind because he is the chancellor and there has to be someone here to keep the peace for their people.
- I was a bit confused and angered by how Octavia all of a sudden really, really hates Bellamy again to the point that she flat out tells him that if he wasn't her brother she would have killed him already because since this season started it seemed like things weren't that bad between them and I really hate that she says these things because there awful things to say and Bellamy doesn't deserve this especially since he was just telling her that he was so afraid that he had lost her and that she saved their people so really don't get were this hostility is coming from.
- I'm not all that surprised that Raven lost it on Murphy but I was a little surprised at the level of intensity that she had with it, I liked that Luna stopped Raven from attacking Murphy and calmed her down.
- I liked that Clarke noticed that Bellamy's mood had become worse and that she figured it was because Octavia still hasn't forgiven him, I also liked that when Clarke said it would just take time that Bellamy pointed out that they don't have much of that left.
- I liked that when Clarke got out of the rover to help the wounded even though there on a very risky mission that could go wrong at any second and Roan asked what was going on that Bellamy said Clarke's just being Clarke.
- I'm worried about how they are going to get the fuel across this river that wasn't there a while ago.
- I like how Luna tells Murphy that she doesn't think that Raven hates him as much as he hates himself although he disagrees with that. I like that Luna tells him that he can find peace someday because she has and I like how he says peace is overrated because it's the fighters who survive.
- I wasn't surprised that after Bellamy and Roan separated from Clarke and his guards that something happened to them and the cargo.
- I liked that when Jasper was handing out moonshine to people in a room with a man who was ranting about how they should kill Illyan, Monty asked if it was a good idea and Jasper said of course it is.
- I like how Monty was telling Jaha how he should step up and control the situation because he has the power to do so and they need to find a way to keep things from getting chaotic.
- I like that Murphy and Luna were able to help Raven think outside the box by telling her things don't have to be perfect just survivable and that a controlled crash into water could work.
- I liked that Roan said that both him and Bellamy are alike in that they only really care about their own people while Clarke is different and is trying to save everyone.
- I liked that when Roan figured out that it was his own people who took the fuel and Clarke that he told Bellamy right away.
- I liked that Monty went to Kane and told him about Illyan being unguarded and that they went there to protect him from the mob.
- I like Kane wants to stop the people from descending into darkness by murdering Illyan but I get why Miller's dad doesn't see the point in ensuring his safety when it seems easier to just give their people what they want.
- I'm not surprised that Octavia is willing to let the mob beat Illyan as much as they want as long she's the one that gets to kill him.
- I like that Roan was willing to jump on to the other transport to ensure that they didn't loose a drop of the fuel.
- I like that Bellamy made sure to drive up ahead so that he could get a killer shot at the guy that was forcing Clarke to drive by holding a knife to her throat.
- I liked how it turned out Kane and Jaha were working together when Jaha sounded the alarm for black rain which made the mob run back inside rather than kill Illyan.
- I liked that Monty tried to talk Octavia down but he is really wrong about Octavia not being a murderer because she has murder plenty of people but it's sweet that Monty thinks so well of her still.
- I liked that Kane pointed out to Octavia that she is doing the exact same thing to Illyan that Pike did to Lincoln which stops her from going through with it but if she was really a better person than Pike would she have had to have it pointed out to her that they are acting the same way.
- I like that Jaha let Illyan go in order to save their people from themselves by making sure that he isn't around to be killed.
- I find it sad how Bellamy calls himself Pathetic for keeping going back for Octavia even though she hates him because that sounds a lot like a victim talking about their abuser and that it isn't what Octavia should be for him.
- I like that Clarke tells Bellamy that he isn't pathetic for still caring about Octavia and I like that she believes that Octavia will see that Bellamy is worth forgiving like Clarke has always, although I disagree with Clarke's view on Octavia I like that she gives Bellamy some hope when he needs it.
- I'm really worried about the fact that they lost an entire barrel worth of fuel but I'm not surprised that it happened.

TV Review: The 100: The Tinder Box(4.05)
The 100: The Tinder Box(4.05)Review
- I find it discouraging that it seems like Abby and Jackson get the theory of how nightblood came to be but seem to be unsure of how to make more of it quickly.
- I'm very worried about Raven who started to hallucinate and then started having a seizure because of it for some reason, this isn't a sign of anything good as far as her health is concerned.
- I'm glad that the show had Octavia unable to reach the ark's people on her own since I found it really unbelievable that she was able to pull herself out of the river at the end of the last episode but I'm not sure why Illyan would bring her back to her people when he hates her people because of what ALLIE did.
- I'm glad that Octavia was able to get the message to Clarke about how Roan is marching an army towards them.
- I'm glad that Clarke stopped Miller's dad's idea of lighting a fire outside of their ship to keep grounders away from them because I too thought that might cause problems for ship that they are still working on preparing for surviving the radiation.
- I liked that Monty came up with the idea to meet the grounders half way and use the element of surprised against them, I also liked that he mention how it was something he learned from Pike because it shows that the show remembers that Monty did side with Pike for a time and because while Pike did plenty of bad things he did know how to fight and win against the grounders.
- I liked that after Roan realized that him and his army walked into a trap set by Clarke and her people that he let her convince him that they go off and talk things through together because he understands that he's already played into her hand.
- I liked that when Monty sees that Riley is still targeting Roan when everyone is suppose to be targeting the army that Monty is the one that ends up talking him down from taking the shot.
- I liked that when Bellamy realized that someone had to warn Clarke in order for her and their people that means that Octavia must have survived and warned them which is very good news for him.
- I liked that Raven figured out that the way to make the nightblood work is to make it in a zero gravity environment which can only be achieved in space.
- While it's good that they have a way to get to space in order to make the nightblood I'm sure if they could safely go to space, make the nightblood and get back before the radiation hits and kills everyone.
- I was irritated that Riley snuck off to go kill Roan himself when he was off talking to Clarke which would start a war but I like that Monty went after him to try and stop him from doing so.
- I was sad that Roan didn't listen to Clarke any better than he listened to Kane but I did like that Clarke pointed out it was him and not her that ended up breaking their peace deal with bring his army to attack her people.
- I like that Clarke offers Roan that their people could share the ship with each other if they can't find a better solution by the time the radiation hits.
- I like that when Monty surrenders himself to grounders in order to warn them of what Riley is going to do that Bellamy asks him if Octavia is alive and he tells him she is.
- I liked that when Echo questioned why Monty was would warn them about what Riley is going to do that Bellamy points out that it's obvious that he's trying to prevent a war between their people.
- I like that Bellamy was let out of some of his chains so that him and Echo could go and find Riley and make sure that he doesn't kill Roan but I dislike that Monty got chained up in his place but I was unsurprised by this turn of events.
- I liked how Harper is clearly worried that Monty is going to get himself killed by trying to prevent a war.
- I find it very concerning that what is allowing Raven to use so much of her brain is also something that is causing her to show the early signs of a stroke. I liked that it was explained that it was because part of ALLIE's code is still in her brain.
- I like that Raven is willing to die in order to make sure that everyone else survives but I'm really hoping it won't come to that.
- I like that Bellamy points out to Echo that all this sides stuff won't matter once the radiation hits because the radiation will kill them all.
- I like that Echo tells Bellamy that she's glad that he'll get to say goodbye to his sister and I like that Bellamy tells Echo that if she had really killed Octavia he would've strangled her with the chains he still has on.
- I like that Roan is willing to take Clarke's deal that allows fifty of his people and fifty of her people to survive but questions if her people will except it which she says that they will because they'll have to.
- I liked that Bellamy had to talk both Riley and Echo down at the same time and I like that he was able to do so successfully for both of them.
- I liked that Octavia figured out that Illyan was trying to destroy all the tech which means the whole ship but sadly she wasn't able to talk him down.
- I liked that Illyan made sure that both Octavia and Niylah survived but that still doesn't make up for the fact that he damned so many people by destroying the ship.
- I liked that Bellamy rushed over to Octavia as soon as he saw her to make sure that she was okay.
- I find it worrying that Abby seems to be having similar problems to Raven because she also had ALIE removed with the use of an EMP rather than a kill switch.

TV Review: The 100: A Lie Guarded(4.04)
The 100: A Lie Guarded(4.04)Review
- I liked how Clarke told Monty that she was worried that Bellamy isn't back yet.
- I like that Clarke feels like she should have gone with her mom and Raven to figure out away to reverse engineer nightblood from Luna and I like that Monty pointed out to her that she really wouldn't be much use there and I like that Monty believes that they'll be able to do it.
- I dislike how Jasper made a joke of how the rain was poisonous when that is something that will be true in the future but I wasn't surprised that he did that since he seems to be making a joke of everything as a way to deal with his depression and the fact that they're all going to die in the near future.
- I like that Kane is concerned about how willing Octavia is to go for the kill and I like that he tells her vengeance and justice aren't the same thing unsurprisingly she disagrees but I like that someone is at least pointing out to her that her behavior isn't justified or healthy because that's something she needs to realize.
- I like that Kane is trying to send Octavia back to their people in an effort to get her to realize that killing people isn't always the solution to the problems that they're having.
- I think it makes sense Luna is still weary of working with the people from the ark since they didn't really ask her if she would help them and their clearly still willing to fight a war.
- I liked that when Emori said she never crossed at certain line on the island because ALIE didn't allow mutants past a certain point that Murphy simply said that he never met a line he wouldn't cross and crossed the line and then held his hand out to Emori and then she grabbed it and crossed the line.
- I was worried about everyone on the island when a droid started firing at them and I find Luna being separated from the rest something to be more worried about.
- I liked that after the droid attack that Miller took charge and told everyone what they should be doing next and who should go where.
- I like that Emori suggests to Murphy that they use this bunker that Murphy found which can hold two people but isn't stocked right now, I kind of just enjoy that Emori and Murphy seem to care about no one but each other's survival.
- I dislike that Roan ended the grounders alliance with the ark's people because he doesn't like the idea of using nightblood to save people since grounders aren't great at understanding how science works.
- I liked that after Jasper found the list of the 100 people that were listed to survive that Jasper pointed out that him planning to die when the radiation full come is okay because that's his choice while Clarke deciding how is worthy of living or dying is wrong because it's not those people's choice to die.
- I was surprised and saddened to find out that Monty didn't make the cut for the 100 people that would survive.
- I don't think it's wrong that Jasper wanted to tell everyone about the list of people who were going to survive but I also understand why Clarke couldn't allow him to tell their people the truth because she's worried about the chaos that could ensue that will just make surviving less likely for them all.
- I like that Monty wasn't upset with Clarke because he didn't make her list and that he tells her that he maybe even could have agreed with her reasoning for the list if only she didn't keep the list a secret from everyone.
- I like that Monty ends up announcing the list and who was on the list after talking to Clarke because he believes people have the right to know about it.
- I like that Raven tries to get to the droid that has been shot down because she believes that she could use it stop the other droids that are still flying around.
- I like that when Raven tries to stop Luna and convince her to help them survive that Luna questions whether they even deserve to survive anymore and I like that Raven brings up the young girl who died last episode as an example of someone who is truly good and surely deserved to be saved and points out that Luna would be helping give a chance of survival to people like her as well.
- I liked that Luna got the droid for Raven so that she could hack into and disable all the other droids.
- I liked that Jaha came in and helped Clarke when the crowd was getting understandably angry at her when she was telling them the reasons why they didn't get to survive while someone else did. I like that Jaha tells them that instead of using the list they'll use a lottery and that only the people who worked towards their survival will be given a shot at survival.
- I like that Jaha tells Clarke that her list was pragmatic and smart but what the people need to hear right now is that they matter and that they have a chance to survive.
- I know Octavia will survive so I'm not worried about her survival but I'm wondering how she'll survive since she was stabbed in the stomach, fell down a very tall cliff and she landed in a river with a very strong current so by all logic she should be dead but I know somehow she survives.
- I like how Jasper tells Clarke that when you have the right idea you should try to convince other people of it rather than lie about your idea.
- I like how Clarke tells Jasper that she used to hate Jaha but she's now understanding why he made the decisions that he made and how maybe he was just keeping them all together.
- I find it sad how right Bellamy is when he says that it doesn't matter what they do they always end up at the brink of war with the grounders.
- I felt so bad for Bellamy when he was told that Octavia died and while I know it isn't true it still breaks my heart that Bellamy believes that she's dead.

TV Review: The 100: Heavy Lies the Crown(4.02)
The 100: Heavy Lies the Crown(4.02)Review
- I felt bad for the grounder Illian who had been forced to do ALIE's bidding and that because of this he lost his entire family at his own hand.
- I liked that Kane encouraged Abby to keep wearing her wedding ring around her neck because he knows that her relationship with her late husband has a lot to do with the person she is today and he doesn't want her to feel like she has to get rid of that because they are together now.
- I like that Illain doesn't want to kill Roan in order to have a chance at killing the people from the ark but I dislike that he blames them for ALIE when it really isn't their fault.
- I like that Octavia and Kane told Roan about how one of the ambassadors is going to challenge him to single combat, I liked that Kane tried to convince him to find a way to prevent the fight all together while Octavia encourage him to have someone fight in his place, I think it says a lot about how the two of them choose to deal with conflicts.
- I like how Raven is telling Bellamy and Clarke that she thinks that it would be for the best if they tell everyone about the radiation because she believes that the more minds on the project the better chance they have at figuring out a solution to their problems. I like that Clarke and Bellamy point out that they can tell the grounders because they have to prevent a war with them but I did like that they agreed to inform their people once they had some form of a solution.
- I liked that Monty figured out that they way for their people to survive is to use the part of the Ark that their people are living in as a shelter and that all they need to do is patch it up in order to make it survivable once the radiation hits.
- I like that Bellamy recruited Bryan and Miller to go look for the hydrogenatorater that the farm station had so that they'll be able to produce enough water for their people for the five years it will take for the radiation levels to go down.
- I like that Miller doesn't want Bryan to go with them on the mission into the Ice Nation because it's dangerous there and Bryan is still healing from his injuries.
- I like that Bryan thinks that Octavia murdering Pike was wrong both because Pike was their Chancellor and because Pike did keep him alive for quite a while as well which did inspire loyalty out of him, I also like that Bryan tells Miller that the only reason he helped Miller and the others last season give Pike up to the grounders was to protect Miller's life.
- I both like and find it concerning how Jasper is much happier now that he knows that there is a very good chance that they're all going to die in six months and I like that Monty is still concerned about how Jasper is really doing.
- I like that Clarke decides not to go on the mission to get the hydrogenatorater because she wants to find a solution that will save the grounders as well as their people. I also like that Bellamy told her that they save who they can today before he went off on the mission.
- I liked that when they were looking down at the ruins of the farm station that Harper reached out to hold Monty's hand.
- I liked that when they noticed that there were grounders at the farm station that Bryan wanted to kill them because of what they did to the farm station in the past and that Bellamy told him that while they could take them they didn't come here to fight and I liked that Monty agreed with Bellamy because he knows that their mission is a lot more important than revenge.
- I was worried that it seemed like the Ice Nation members wouldn't care that Bellamy had permission from Roan to come there and that they would kill them anyways but I'm glad that the Chief seems to not really care that they're there as long as they leave quickly.
- I understand why Raven is so frustrated by Clarke not allowing her to tell everyone the real reason they need to patch up the ship because she only got five volunteers to help her out and she needs a lot more than that if they're going to seal up the ark within six months.
- I like that Jaha is volunteering himself to help Raven out in anyway he can and I understand why Raven doesn't really want his help because of everything he did last season and I like that Clarke is more willing to take his help because she understands what it's like to do horrible things in the name of helping her people.
- I find it horrifying that the Ice Nation is keeping people as slaves in the farm station and I understand why it's hard for everyone to stay focused on the mission when confronted with this.
- I like that Echo is offering to fight in Roan's place and that she's been trying to figure out what the ark's people are offering him that is worth risking having the other clans challenge his right to the throne. I actually like that Roan told Echo about the world possibly ending and I'm not sure why since I don't trust her at all but for some reason I like that she now knows why Roan is doing what he's doing.
- I'm not surprised at all that Kane and Octavia's talk with Illain and the ambassador did nothing to prevent the fight from happening.
- I kind of like how Jasper makes the point of wanting to live being different than wanting to survive which is what Clarke wants for their people.
- I like how Jasper points out that Clarke keeping the fact that everyone may die in six months from them is similar to the council sending a hundred teenagers to the ground to see if they could survive on the ground.
- I like that Bryan and Harper both want to save the slaves which is made up of their people while Monty and Miller now that the genatorater is more important right now since it will be the thing that will keep their people and the human race as a whole alive, while Bellamy wants to do both but in the end chooses to save the slaves because this is the only chance they will ever have to save them.
- I like that when Monty is given the opportunity to kill the man to kill that killed his father that he instead frees the people he was using as slaves and let them kill him instead.
- I like that Jaha can tell that Clarke is hiding something and I like he gives her advice about what it means to be a leader. I like that because of everything that Clarke has been through during the series she can now understand why Jaha did what he did in the first season.
- While I like that Octavia was able to solve the problem with the ambassador but I find it disturbing how easy it is for her to kill people.
- I like that Illian knows that Octavia was behind the ambassador's death and I like that Echo suspects she was.
- I like that Bryan is doubting the decision to save the slaves today rather than their people in six months.
- I like that Bellamy is refusing to not save people when he can just because it may be better for their people in the long run because he's lived that way before and he won't do it again.
- I completely understand why Raven is angry with both Clarke and Bellamy with how she's mad at Clarke for not being truly honest with their people and at Bellamy for not thinking long term with how he destroyed their best chance at survival.
- I liked that at the end of the episode that Bellamy and Clarke brought up the whole we save who we can save today again to show that they are doing their best to keep their people alive on a day by day basis.

TV Review: The 100: Echoes(4.01)
The 100: Echoes(4.01)Review
- I liked that when Octavia saw Indra that she rushed over to her to make sure that she was alright.
- I liked that Clarke tried to comfort Bellamy by telling him that Octavia can handle herself and I like that Bellamy tells Clarke that's not what he's worrying about right now with her. I also like how Bellamy wonders if maybe they all deserve to die like Pike did.
- I like how Bellamy tells Clarke that they should wait to tell everyone that the world is going to end again in six months since they've just been given back their pain and he's afraid of how much worse people will react if they knew that they were going to all die in a few months.
- I liked that Clarke thanked Bellamy for keeping her alive through everything and I like that he told her that she doesn't make it easy.
- I like that it is shown to be quite a traumatic experience for everyone who now has their pain back but I dislike that the grounders are blaming the people of the ark for everything that happened and that their blaming Clarke in particular who had very little to do with how things went so bad.
- I like that Jasper is trying so hard to appear like he is happy but I'm sad and worried that he has to try so hard to appear happy.
- I'm worried about Raven since she hiding the fact that her leg is causing her pain again which will probably end up leading to trouble somewhere down the line.
- I liked that Bellamy and Clarke realized that the grounders blame them for ALIE and that it would be best for their people to just leave.
- I liked that Clarke and Bellamy have decided to let Raven know about the radiation that is likely going to kill them all.
- I like that Clarke and Abby were trying to save Roan but I dislike that Echo refuses to let them and that she declared that Polis is now ruled by the Ice Nation and that she's not allowing the people from ark to leave.
- I like that Jaha is shown to feel guilty about his decision to follow ALIE has caused so much pain for others.
- I like that Murphy invited Emori to come back to the arcadia with him when she told him that her kind isn't allowed in Polis.
- I like that Indra is willing to work with the ark's people in fighting a war against the Ice Nation but I also like that Clarke thinks that it's best to avoid a war all together since they're all going to die in six months.
- I liked that Indra pointed out regardless of the fact that the world is ending in six months there's a thousand ice nation soldiers that want to kill them today and that have to deal with that today.
- I find it interesting that Clarke had Bellamy say that the ark's people have surrendered so that she and Abby could sneak in and save Roan's life.
- I like that Murphy tells Emori that her plan to just run off was better after he learned of Clarke and Bellamy's plan to save Roan.
- I think that Monty and Harper are so sweet together and I'm glad that they are continuing their new relationship.
- I was sad to see that Jasper was trying to kill himself before he learns that the world is ending in six months and I like that he laughed in response because it's ironic that they're all going to die no matter what they do and he was just thinking of killing himself.
- I liked that when Clarke was taken that Bellamy and Abby were the ones that tried the hardest to make sure she wasn't taken.
- I like that Clarke told Roan about the world coming to the end in six months and gave him in order to get him on her side and make sure that he lets her people live.
- I liked that when Echo asked Bellamy if he thought that they can ever trust anyone again that he told her that he didn't think so.
- I like that Kane and Abby are staying in Polis to try and keep the peace with the grounders and that Clarke and Bellamy are going back to their people to try and figure out a way to save everyone.
- I like that Kane told Bellamy to just try to do better today than he did yesterday and that someday soon he'll find that he deserves to survive.
- I like that when Bellamy asked Clarke what do they do now that she told him they survive.

TV Review: The 100: Perverse Instantiaition Part 2(3.16)
The 100: Perverse Instantiation Part 2(3.16)Review
- I liked that Clarke used the EMP on Abby after she found out that Ontari wouldn't be able to help her.
- I liked that Abby told Clarke she was sorry about what she did while she was under ALIE's control and I liked that Clarke told her that it wasn't her and that she doesn't need to be sorry.
- I like that after Bellamy and Pike told them that the floor is safe for now that Murphy pointed out that they don't have a way down anymore, like that it's made clear that Murphy is always looking for an escape route and feels uncomfortable when he doesn't have one.
- I think Clarke's plan to put night blood in her and then the flame in her head is one that is really risky but it might very well be their only chance at stopping ALIE.
- I liked that when Jasper was threatening Harper's life so that Raven and Monty will destroy the machine that gives them access to ALIE's code that Harper tells them not to destroy the machine.
- I find it a bit creepy how ALIE talks through Jasper to Raven in order to try to convince her to destroy her machine.
- I liked that Raven distracted Jasper/ALIE in order to give Monty the chance to sneak up on them and knock them out and save Harper.
- I like that Bellamy tells Octavia to be careful before she leaves.
- I like that Bellamy is by Clarke's side and holds her hand when Murphy inserts the flame into her head.
- I like that Abby wants to take the flame out of Clarke as soon as she reacts badly to it but Bellamy and Murphy are more willing to see if she can handle it because they know that they're all doomed if she fails.
- I think it's interesting that Clarke has to enter the city of light in order to stop ALIE and that the flame will protect her from ALIE once she gets in there.
- I'm not surprised at all that Octavia ended up cut Pike in the leg and letting ALIE's people attack him when she was left alone with him.
- I like that Bellamy knows right away that Octavia being left alone with Pike is a bad thing and I like that he's clearly frustrated with how Octavia attacked one of their allies while they have so few of them.
- I liked that Bellamy told Octavia that he understands how your need for revenge can put you on the wrong side of things and that he doesn't want that for her.
- I like that Bellamy told Pike that he wanted to think like Pike did with believing that the grounders are bad and they are good and that he doesn't really know what he believes anymore but he knows that he has to live with what he did.
- I find it freaky how ALIE was aware that Clarke was in the city of light and I find it interesting that Raven and the others found out about this by reading the code.
- I'm glad that Lexa showed up in the city of light and that she is helping Clarke stay alive long enough to stop ALIE.
- I like how Murphy is assisting Abby with keeping Ontari alive long enough for Clarke to find the kill switch and destroy ALIE.
- I like that Bellamy doesn't tell Bryan and Miller how ALIE's people were able to get in the tower.
- I like they use the wet floor and the tazer sticks to knock out all of them out.
- I like that Raven is able to get Clarke to the kill switch by using her portal to show Clarke where to go and a way to get there.
- I find it interesting that Clarke meets ALIE's creator and that she is the one who tells Clarke how to destroy ALIE.
- I find it worrisome that ALIE says that there will be a second time that nuclear power plants are melting down and will make the earth uninhabitable.
- I like the debate that ALIE, her creator and Clarke have about humanity and what it means to truly save them.
- I like that Clarke tells ALIE that you don't easy pain you overcome it before she pulls the kill switch.
- I liked that Clarke thanked Murphy when she realized that he was helping keep her life while the flame was in her.
- I like the moment when Murphy and Emori reunited with each other and hugged each other.
- I liked that Monty told Jasper that he knows that this world can suck but it's real and that he promises him that they'll be happy again one day. I like that Jasper told Monty that he's sorry he stabbed him and Monty told him he's sorry that he shot him and that Jasper said he didn't feel it, I like that they hugged and I like that they have truly made up now even if Jasper is still clearly struggling.
- I like that Clarke tells Bellamy about how the world is still in danger and they still have to find a way to save it again.
- I wasn't surprised at all that Octavia killed Pike even after he saved her life earlier in the episode because Octavia doesn't really do forgiveness and she's always hell bent on killing people.

TV Review: The 100: Perverse Instantiation Part 1(3.15)
The 100: Perverse Instantiation Part 1(3.15)Review
- I like that Bellamy believes that the best course of action is to go back and make sure that the others are okay and have them all work together figure out another way to stop ALIE.
- I like that the others are finding Clarke's insistence that they go off looking for night bloods to put the flame in to be an idea that isn't likely to work both because they don't know if there are anymore night bloods and because they know that going to villages looking for one is likely to get innocent people killed by ALIE.
- I liked that Roan saved Clarke from being taken in by one of ALIE's people but I disliked that he only did so, so he could take the flame from Clarke to give to Ontari but I liked that Bellamy stopped Roan from leaving with it.
- I'm not sure what made Clarke decide that putting the flame into Ontari was a good thing when literally a minute before she agreed to that plan she was against it.
- I liked that Roan understood why Bellamy shot him and that he said that the two of them are even now.
- I like that Clarke knows that they have to disconnect Ontari from the city of light before they put the flame in her head because other wise they would be giving ALIE exactly what she wants.
- I liked that when Roan said that the ice nation wasn't afraid of ALIE that Bellamy told him that he should be and I liked that him and Clarke explained to him how all of ALIE's people are interconnected so if they're seen by one of her people they're seen by all of them.
- I like that Raven was able to rebuild a wrist band to use as an emp in order to get Ontari disconnected.
- I like that Raven and Monty have an idea about how to get access to ALIE's code again.
- I liked that when Roan insist that he takes the flame with him when he lures Ontari out that Clarke insists that she goes with him because she's unwilling to let the flame out her sight and I like that Bellamy doesn't want to let Clarke do this because he doesn't trust that Roan won't betray them.
- I like that Clarke tells Bellamy that she trusts him with her life and that the reason she's okay with going along with Roan is because she knows that Bellamy will be covering her the whole time.
- I liked that Jasper told Monty that he was happy for him about how he and Harper got together and I like that Monty pointed out that Jasper hasn't been happy about anything for along time and I like that Jasper told Monty that for along time after mount weather he blamed Clarke and Monty for what happened but he's done blaming now. I like that Jasper and Monty seem to have made up.
- I was surprised when it turned out that Jasper had been chipped and I'm really worried about how badly things are going to go now that ALIE knows their entire plan because of this.
- I liked that when Bryan asked Miller if they would ever be done fighting that Miller told him that they would be someday and that they would live on a farm together and grow old together.
- I liked that Bellamy told the others that they were to use non lethal force because the other people aren't their enemy and are being controlled.
- I liked that when Clarke figured out that something wasn't right that she tried to let the others know that but sadly they didn't figure it out until after they got captured.
- I liked that Jasper revealed to Monty that the reason that he took the key wasn't because he was tortured but because of the fact that their mission to get Luna to take the flame ended up destroying the rig which was a peaceful place before they came and because Shay died and during the time he spent with her was the first time since Maya died that he wasn't thinking about her.
- I like that Jasper said that from what he's seen of the ground that it isn't survivable which says a lot about the different meanings of survivable.
- I felt so bad for Clarke when ALIE had her own mother torture her because that means that Clarke is being both physically and psychologically tortured because of who is doing the torturing. I like that Clarke didn't even consider given in while she was being tortured.
- I like that Abby pointed out that the way to get to Clarke was through her friends and I liked that she suggested that they start with Bellamy because it shows how clearly close Clarke and Bellamy's relationship to each other is.
- I liked that Octavia was worried when Bellamy was being taken away but I also liked that Bellamy told her not to worry about him.
- I liked that Murphy, Pike and Indra come in and rescued the others right before Bellamy was taken up to be tortured.
- I like that when Pike cut Bellamy's bindings and asked if he was okay that it was clear that Bellamy felt very strange talking to him like this.
- I like that Indra told Octavia that she was only working with Pike because sticking together is the only way they can survive and I like that Bellamy pointed out that it was a good plan.
- I like that Bellamy wants to go up to the tower so that they could follow through with their plan and stop ALIE once and for all and I like that Murphy is so annoyed that he has to stay and fight rather than run away and keep himself alive once again.
- I like that Bellamy is angry at Pike for killing guys that are controlled by ALIE because they aren't the enemy and they could've saved them.
- I like that Bellamy asked Murphy why he was here and I liked that Murphy eventually admitted that he too is trying to save someone he cares about.
- I like that Indra tells Octavia that they can't kill Pike now because he isn't useful to them if he'd dead.
- I like that Clarke tells ALIE that if she kills her mom she'll never give them that pass phrase and I like that Clarke proved this to be true when it looked like her mom was going to die and she cried and said she was sorry but still refused to give ALIE what she wanted.
- I dislike that ALIE had Ontari killed so that they couldn't use her in order to give them the kill code.
- I liked that as soon as Bellamy came in the room Clarke told him to stop Jaha and he did it right away.
- I liked that Murphy cut Abby down and made sure that she was still alive.
- I'm really concerned about how they are going to stop ALIE now that Ontari isn't an option anymore.

TV Review: The 100: Red Sky at Morning(3.14)
The 100: Red Sky at Morning(3.14)Review
- I like that Murphy's plan is for them to escape and runaway because that is what will allow them to survive while Indra's plan is to kill Jaha because she believes he is their leader. I like that Murphy was down with killing Jaha but pointed out that Jaha is being controlled so killing him wouldn't really do them much good.
- I like that when Pike and Indra decide to go after the back pack that is the thing that is controlling the AI while the others were escaping that Murphy decided to go with them only because it leads to ALIE's people not following them which increases his chances for survival, I just like that Murphy doesn't care much about anything but keeping alive.
- I liked that when Jaha told Emori that she can correct her defects in the city of light that Emori said that she would if she had any, I like that it seems she doesn't think of her deformed hand as a defect.
- I like that Luna pointed out to Octavia that she doesn't want saving but someone to fight alongside her which isn't something that Luna is willing to do and I like that Luna points out that the place she lives is a place for people who are done fighting and killing which Octavia clearly isn't done doing. I like that Luna points out to Octavia that Lincoln understood what this place was about and he knows that Luna is done fighting and that he wouldn't want Luna to help them in a way that goes against who she has chosen to be.
- I like that Raven is able to tell how much progress ALIE has made based off of computer coding and I like that Raven thinks that she may be able to destroy ALIE without Clarke's help.
- I like that Monty tells Raven to not try to take ALIE down by herself because she doesn't have the kill code and since ALIE will know the second they use the back door entrance into the city of light they really only have one chance to take ALIE down this way.
- I like that Monty is worried about Raven since she's been working non stop for two days and because the city of light is something that is real to her in a way that it isn't for him.
- I like that Harper tells Monty that they shouldn't spend all their time worrying about the next attack in between each attack and that she then kisses him.
- I like that Jasper actually seems happy now and that he seems to be bonding with a girl named Shay who has lived her whole life on the rig and I like that Jasper tells her that it's a good thing that she has always lived there because he knows how harsh life on the ground is.
- I like that Bellamy takes notice that Jasper is actually smiling for the first time in months.
- I like that when Clarke first suggests that she forces Luna to take the flame that both Bellamy and Octavia tell her that what she is doing is wrong. I'm not surprised that Bellamy eventually comes around to Clarke's way of thinking when she points out that ALIE's army is just their own people controlled by her so there really isn't another way to save their people.
- I liked that Raven figured out that ALIE was hiding something but I also liked that Monty wouldn't let her go in, to find out what it was because it's too dangerous and I like that he won't leave her side afterwards because he can see how on edge she is.
- I liked that when Clarke was trying to convince Luna one last time to help them and she said that some causes are worth killing for that Luna tells her that she doesn't believe that to be true.
- I like that Luna was able to stop Clarke from forcing the flame into her head and I like that Luna told Clarke that she ran not because she was afraid that she would loose but because she knew she would win and she didn't want to be the commander.
- I liked that Murphy wouldn't let Pike kill Emori and I liked that Emori warned Murphy that the backpack is nuclear powered and if it was simply smashed it would destroy the whole city.
- I was surprised when it turned out that there were people among Luna's people that were controlled by ALIE and I'm worried about what will happen next since they now have the flame.
- I find it sad how Jasper tells Shay that since it's nice here he shouldn't stay because he would probably screw it up.
- I was sad that Shay was shot by an arrow and I think it must've been traumatic for Jasper to see that since she's the first person he's really bonded with since Maya's death.
- I felt so bad for Luna when her own people were turning against her and she had no idea why they were doing so and she finds that she can't reason with them at all.
- I liked that Jasper told Luna would he could about the key while they were both being tortured even if it did little to answer her questions.
- I think that Raven using the back door to possibly defeat ALIE without a kill code is very risky but considering how frightened ALIE is it is also something that has a good chance of succeeding at defeating her as well.
- I think it's cruel that ALIE is using Monty's mother to stop him and Raven from destroying her but I like that it was Monty who was the one that decided to delete his mother in order to give Raven the chance to find the kill code which she did but she didn't have time to activate it.
- I like that Monty was angry at Raven for putting him to a position where he had to kill his mother again and to have it all be for nothing in the end.
- I like that Murphy wasn't able to destroy the power source when he believed that Emori's mind would be destroyed along with it.
- I liked that Shay managed to help Clarke, Bellamy and Octavia escape and tell them where Luna was being held.
- I like that Luna didn't defend herself or kill her attackers until they threatened the life of a child and that she cried after she killed them because she had to kill people that she cared about and she hates that she had to do that.
- I liked that when Bellamy got in the room that the first thing he did was make sure that the child was okay.
- I kind of like that Luna still refuses to take the flame at the end of the episode even though it means that Clarke and the others are now no closer to stopping ALIE and saving their people.
TV Review: The 100: Join or Die(3.13)
The 100: Join or Die(3.13)Review
- I like that Kane is horrified to see the bodies hanging on polls in Polis and the blood covering the streets while Pike thinks that this is to be expected of grounders.
- I find it interesting that Pike was only brought to jail because he refused to take the key because this shows how much people change after taking the key because before taking it the grounders would have went straight to killing Pike.
- I like that Kane refuses the key to the City of Light as well and I like that he is being kept away from the others because Abby thinks she can change his mind.
- I find it interesting that Pike was the old earth skills teacher on the ark and that he taught a refresher class to the hundred before they would be sent down to the grounder which makes him one of the few people who knew about the hundred being sent to the ground before it happened.
- I like that Jasper kept pointing out that the map their following doesn't have any distances so they really have no idea how long they'll have to travel before they find Luna.
- I really don't think Bellamy is wrong to be worried that the grounders could be hostile because they don't know these people and they have no idea what their like so I don't think it's a bad idea to be on guard.
- I was disappointed when it turned out that Luna's village isn't where the map said it would be and it's clear that Clarke and the others have no idea what to do now that they don't where to find Luna.
- I feel a bit bad for Pike in flashbacks because he's trying to teach this kids how to survive and none of them are taking any of it seriously.
- I like that it's mentioned that Jasper and Monty had to be put in different classes because they would've caused trouble if they were in the same class.
- I like that in the flashback Murphy told Pike that he'd survive and that he when he sees Pike in present day he mentions that he told Pike that he'd find away to survive.
- I like that Indra was able to unchain herself and I think her vengeance against Pike for killing three hundred of her people by cutting him three hundred times does make sense in an eye for an eye kind of way.
- I honestly am completely on Bellamy's side he didn't kill Lincoln, he tried to prevent Lincoln's death and things very well could've turned out differently and since he and Octavia are family it seems like she should be able to forgive him someday.
- I like that Jasper accidently figured out how to make a signal fire that would bring Luna to them.
- I like how Abby pretended to not be chipped in order to get information about Clarke out of Kane and I liked that Kane only figured out what was going on after Abby started kissing him because that's something they've never done before and it didn't make much sense for her to throw herself at him that situation.
- I feel so bad for Kane because he's being crucified on the cross as a way to torture information out of him.
- I liked that Clarke went to check if Bellamy was okay after he left and I liked that he tried to act like he didn't want her there but then caved right away and started telling her how he felt.
- I like that Clarke tells Bellamy that Lincoln's blood isn't on his hands and that when he said maybe some his she agrees but points out that he never wanted Lincoln dead and tried to prevent his death and that is something that is important to remember.
- I liked that Clarke told Bellamy that it was more important that he forgives himself rather than Octavia forgiving him and I like that Bellamy mentions that forgiveness is hard for them and that he tells Clarke that he knows that she is still struggling to forgive herself.
- I like that Bellamy tells Clarke that he was so angry at her for leaving but he non longer wants to feel angry at her.
- I like that Clarke tells Bellamy that they need each other in order to survive all of this and to stop ALIE, I just love how much she feels like she needs him at her side to do what needs to be done especially because most other people don't see she needs him.
- I liked that Clarke and Bellamy had a very long and intimate hug where they were so lost in their own world that they didn't see these group of grounders come which lead to them being captured by them.
- I like that after Octavia mentioned Lincoln that the grounders said that let them come with them but insisted that they take this liquid that makes you pass out if they want to come. I like that Octavia just trusts that the grounders won't hurt her, Jasper just goes what the hell and drinks it then regrets that choice when Octavia passes out and Clarke and Bellamy only drink it because they feel they have no choice and they drink it at the same time as a team.
- I find it interesting that Pike figured out that the ark was dying the day before the hundred were sent down and I understand Pike's frustration with the hundred because he knows that they needed to learn but I hated how he beat and humiliated Murphy in front of everyone to teach them a lesson.
- I liked that Murphy convinced the grounders that need Pike alive because they need everyone they can get to fight Jaha's chipped army and I like that the logic of it's more important to make sure their people to survive than for them to get their revenge. I also like that Indra just says that she'll get her revenge at a later date.
- I liked that Murphy told Pike to go float himself and that he learned everything about survival on the grounder and not from Pike.
- I liked that Kane only took the key to the City of Light because Jaha threatened to kill Abby if he didn't.
- I like that Luna mentioned that she vowed to never kill again and that she doesn't want to be the commander or take the flame because she believes killing is part of that job because that is what grounders are taught and she wants no part of that.

TV Review: The 100: Demons(3.12)
The 100: Demons(3.12)Review
- I liked how Miller was telling Harper and Bryan a ghost story before the three of them were taken by a very quiet grounder.
- I liked that Emori assumed that Murphy was planning to steal from Ontari and I like that she tells him that she wants in on the con which he's happy to allow her in on except there isn't a con he's just trying to survive.
- I like that Raven and Clarke both are able to give insight on ALIE and her plan and how they could stop her and how they believe that Luna could be the one with the key to stopping her.
- I like how Monty thinks about how his mom is still alive inside the City of Light and I like how Raven points out that depends on your definition of alive.
- I liked that when Octavia broke down for a moment that he told her that it was okay to let herself break down a little but I dislike how Octavia was acting all high and mighty and told him that a warrior doesn't mourn until the war is over but I like how Jasper says he wouldn't know.
- I like how Raven figured out that the flame can be activated when a certain phrase is said by a non-night blood but since only a night blood can be connected to the flame without dying they still have to find Luna.
- I find it interesting that Raven now knows how to do all sorts of things she didn't know how to do before she was connected to ALIE.
- I like that Monty doesn't know if he wants to destroy the City of Light now because his mother is alive in there but dead in the real world.
- I liked how Murphy told Emori that he really is just doing whatever he can to survive and I like that he told her that Ontari isn't the real commander and that he's doing his best to help her fake it.
- I liked that after it's revealed that Emerson the last mountain man is the one that has been taking their people that Clarke tells Bellamy she believes that this is all her fault because she let Emerson live despite when she had him at her mercy.
- I was sad that Sinclair died but I liked that he died protecting Raven although I'm sad that she was captured anyways since she tried to rescue Sinclair.
- I liked that when Bellamy said that they were too late after seeing Sinclair that Clarke pointed out that Emerson must not have killed the others because he didn't leave their bodies laying around.
- I liked how Clarke was willing to give herself up to save the others life but I also like that Bellamy pointed out to her that her letting Emerson kill her is as stupid plan and that he tells her a better plan would be she distracts Emerson and he shoots him.
- I liked that the second that Jaha showed up that Murphy wanted him to leave right away because he wants nothing to do with Jaha and the City of Light.
- I was surprised to learn that Emori had taken the chip and that she helped Jaha which is how Jaha knows that Ontari is a false commander which gets Murphy arrested since he told Emori the truth earlier.
- I'm not surprised at all that Jaha told Ontari that the way to become a real commander is to take the key to the City of Light since he wants everyone to take it.
- I'm not all that surprised that Emerson figured out Clarke and Bellamy's plan or that he threatened Octavia in order to get Bellamy to drop his weapons and lock himself up or that Emerson's plan was to kill all of Clarke's people and make her watch before he killed her was his plan for revenge.
- I liked how Clarke used the flame to kill Emerson when it looked like he won both because it was smart of her to do and because it showed how dangerous the flame is to non-night bloods.
- I liked how they gave Lincoln and Sinclair a funeral so that they could mourn their deaths.
- I liked that Raven, Monty, Miller, Harper and Bryan are staying behind to look into ALIE's one software that she downloaded into the ark while the others go and find Luna.

TV Review: The 100: Nevermore(3.11)
The 100: Nevermore(3.11)Review
- I actually like that Jasper is mad at Clarke still about what she did at Mount Weather because no one else seems to actually hold a grudge against her for that and since Jasper is still very hurt from loosing Maya I'm glad that he isn't willing forgive Clarke for what she did yet.
- I like that Bellamy doesn't want Octavia to leave and go off on her own into a situation that could be dangerous and while I can understand why Octavia is still mad at Bellamy I still don't see why she puts Lincoln's death on Bellamy when he tried to help the rest of them prevent it but she didn't allow him to help her and her whole lecture for lashing out at people when your hurt is so hypocritical since beat Bellamy to a blood pulp last episode because she was upset.
- I liked that when Jasper arrived and said that they needed to get Raven inside right away that Bellamy was the one that carried her into the cave.
- I liked that Jasper managed to bring everyone else up to date on the City of Light plot within just a few minutes and I like that the Commander's flame that Clarke stole actually has relevance for this plot.
- I liked that Clarke knows that she can find a wrist band that Raven needed to get ALIE out of her head from the girl that she hooked up with in the first episode of the season.
- I liked that Bellamy jumped right back into working together with Clarke with how the lead the others together, I like that despite the fact that so much time has passed since they last truly worked together that their able to fall into old patterns right away.
- I feel bad for Raven when ALIE is taking over her body and fighting against all the others but I also feel a bit frightened of her since ALIE is in control of her body.
- I liked that Clarke asked Bellamy if he was okay after she was done talking to the grounder girl who is understandably angry about her father being killed because he was part of the army that was sent to protect the people of the ark.
- I liked that Sinclair figured out what Raven's plan involving the wrist band was and I like that him and Monty figured out what they would need to make her plan work.
- I'm kind of glad that Octavia is going with Monty to the drop ship because honestly all she seems to do when she's around Bellamy is let him know in some way that she hates him.
- I find it somewhat terrifying that Raven dislocated her shoulder and reopened the wounds on wrist because ALIE told her that she could escape if she does that and I'm glad that Jasper saw this and called in Clarke and Bellamy so that they could help ensure that Raven didn't die.
- I liked that Jasper actually addressed ALIE and I find it a bit freaky that she spoke through Raven to him, I liked that when ALIE demanded that Clarke hand over the flame that Jasper was willing to give it to her to save Raven but I also like that Clarke instead said that if she lets Raven dies she will never get and I like that ALIE could tell that Clarke meant what she said so she let Raven be saved.
- I like how ALIE tells Clarke how it seems that Jasper hasn't forgiven her for murdering his girlfriend. I also like that at this point Bellamy tells Jasper to rest and that Jasper actually listens to him.
- I liked that Bellamy tries to talk to Jasper and I like that Jasper voices how he's angry that Clarke just comes back and takes everything over like nothing ever happened. I like that Bellamy told Jasper that he needs to get himself together and not let his angry blind him and I can't blame Jasper for pointing out that people died when Bellamy couldn't control his angry but I feel like Bellamy may have been speaking from experience when he was giving advice to Jasper.
- I liked that ALIE/Raven got to Clarke by bring up the fact that Clarke was killed many people and that she gotten many of her loved ones killed, I like that she mentions Wells, Finn, Lexa and her father and I liked that mentioning her father is what truly broke Clarke.
- I was very worried when it turned out that ALIE's plan was to get Clarke angry enough to reveal their plan and how their planning to stop her and I'm sad that ALIE was able to figure it out so quickly.
- I liked that Monty tried to talk Octavia out of leaving by pointing out that Octavia is one of their people and I was unsurprised when Octavia declared that she was neither a member of the ark or part of the 100 because she just always seems to love to reject her own people, I would also like to point out that Octavia actually did reject Lincoln earlier in the season because he wasn't acting enough like a grounder for her so her saying Lincoln was her people doesn't hold a lot of weight for me.
- I liked that Bellamy treated Clarke's injury and I like that Clarke admitted that she let ALIE get to her and that was a mistake on her part and I like that Bellamy tells her to take a break and that he'll let ALIE take a shot at him instead.
- I like that Clarke told Jasper that she was sorry that she killed Maya but I'm not surprised that Jasper is still unwilling to accept her apology.
- I like that Monty was able to figure out that his mom was chipped fairly quickly and that he refused the chip when she tried to force it on him.
- I find it so sad that Monty had to kill his mom in order to save Octavia's life especially since he knows that his mom loved him despite her flawed beliefs and that Octavia doesn't even consider him one of her people so it just seems like an unfair trade off for him.
- I like how Sinclair tells Clarke about how Raven is all he has left and he's afraid that the EMP he's building might destroy her mind rather than save it and I like that Clarke convince him that they have to do this because ALIE has already taken Raven away from them and if they don't get her out of her they'll never get her back.
- I felt so bad for Monty when he kept telling himself and Octavia that it wasn't really his mom that he killed that it was ALIE as he tries to keep from crying and I like that Octavia tries to comfort him.
- I like that ALIE/Raven asks why Jasper gives Bellamy a free pass when he doesn't for Clarke because I wonder too and I think it might be because Bellamy stayed and was willing to accept Jasper's angry in the direct aftermath and he actually shows clear concern for his well being which Clarke didn't because she was too caught up in her own guilt.
- I liked that Bellamy told Jasper that he didn't have to listen to what ALIE/Raven says, I just like how protective Bellamy is of him.
- I thought it was so cruel of ALIE/Raven to mock Jasper for the way he coped with Maya's death because he wasn't as functional as everyone else well dealing with his grief and that she called him useless and told him that he should basically just kill himself and I was glad that after this Bellamy made sure that Jasper left the room because hearing these things are no good for Jasper's already fragile mental health.
- I liked that Bellamy just took everything that ALIE/Raven threw at him even though it clearly hurt him to say all those things to him, I like that Bellamy refused to respond to her taunts because he knew that was what she wanted.
- I find it a bit sad that people seem to think that Bellamy is more of a follower than a leader because I do think he's a good leader I just think that he's most confident in his ability to lead when he has Clarke by his side and I don't think there's anything wrong with working as co-leaders but the fact that everyone thinks of him as lesser makes me sad for him.
- I can't blame the grounder girl for punching Bellamy one time after she found out that he was apart of the people who killed her father's army but I did like that Bellamy did ended up telling her that he was sorry and I liked that her response was people like you always are because she didn't forgive him but she also didn't pile on anymore hate because she knows that won't change anything.
- I find it disturbing how ALIE was going to have Raven commit suicide because she didn't she could stop them from getting rid of her.
- I can't help but think that maybe Jasper's right that destroying the flame might be a good idea since letting ALIE have is clearly a bad idea.
- I like that Clarke figured out the way to fully get the chip out of raven was to cut it out of her neck like the way the flame was removed form Lexa when she died.
- I felt bad for Monty when he realized that he could have saved his mom but I did like that Jasper reached out to comfort Monty after months of not wanting anything to do with him although it was only for Monty to reject him.
- I like that Clarke tells the grounder girl she has to run because she knows that ALIE's people are coming and she won't be safe if she stays there.
- I liked that Clarke treated Bellamy's self inflicted injury and I liked that he then asked her what happens when you realize that you aren't the good guy and I like that Clarke tells him maybe they're are no good guys which is something she came to terms with last season.
- I liked that Raven told Jasper that she was sorry for all the awful things that she said to him.
- I like that Raven revealed that the flame is the only thing that can stop ALIE.
- I find it frightening that ALIE is willing to kill them all just to prevent from being destroyed.
