It was a race against time the whole season, with the final episode being the most satisfying conclusion to a season wide story i have yet to see in another show. Season 3 was a bit weird - I think last minute writing changes were made with certain characters that changed the whole season (wick, lincoln, lexa). but the first 4 seasons were pretty solid. with the finale of season 5 being so fucking beautiful, the messy plotlines that built up to it were forgiven. this show thrived off making the characters feel relateable, that stopped the minute season 6 started with a different planet, body hijacking, a weird fairy culture & aesthetic that just made it look a very ‘cw’ storyline.

Shows evolving is not necessarily a bad thing but it needs to be done well. A good example of this would be attack on titan. The seeds for how the show ended up evolving were in the first season.

I was actually surprise that that finale got so much hate.

This reminds me of the story lore within the game ARK: Survival Evolved. The main maps each have a story of the survivors who lived there but eventually became Sci-fi. The island: Various tribes warring for control of the whole place, then three survivors move on. Scorched Earth: Two survivors surviving in a desert, again dealing with tribes and such. This time incorporating a massive time skip between the stories of two characters who were there, and the two important ones. Aberration: This is where things start getting Sci-fi. This world's ark was damaged by an explosion by people from the present period (this is set in a post-apocalyptic time) and forced them to live underground to avoid the radiation. One guy goes mad with what he believes is Ascension before getting trapped in the system by the player long after the others left. Extinction: Following the tracks of the survivors who were there, all the while being guided by an ascended human who is responsible for the player being where they are. Genesis part 1 and part 2: the player is now leading their own story, they are on equal footing with those whose story they were once following. And the entire thing is sci-fi now.

But c'mon ffs that magical switch wasn't so magical after all. It's not something that just came out of nowhere. The writers were actually building towards finding the AI's Killswitch a couple of episodes into the final via the engineering mechanic raven. And it wasn't that easy as Alie clearly placed a lot of stop blockers to them accessing the city of light and created a firewall for herself and was on the process of updating her software to annihilate the Killswitch . This guy just makes the 'magical killswitch' seem like the resolution to the third season when it was rather the climax. Furthermore pulling the Killswitch wasn't an easy decision since it came with a cost. Alie explained to Clarke what she could be risking by pulling the lever, which was the falling action of the conflict. The resolution was Clarke deciding to rather have everyone keep their humanity and figure out a way to deal with the new danger that awaits them than having their minds uploaded into the virtual reality and lose their humanity. Pulling the switch clearly came with heavy implications where both the protagonist and antagonist were at a loss. And that's one of the things I liked about this show. They don't always go for the easy route with the protags in the final frontier. They place them at a corner whereby taking both highways to a solution has drastic effects placing them in a dilemma where they have to make a well thought decision on which highway would less damaging implications on the longer run.

How are people in here arguing that The 100 is a perfect story? Is it crack you smoke? 😭 We went from post- apocalyptic survival to everyone turning into angels and 'ascending '

I like how Clarke starts by genociding the grounders, then multiple tribes, then everyone on the planet, everyone on multiple planets, and then every human in existence!

Yeah but I feel like the last 2 seasons are just pure repeats except they lose at the end.

I liked it a lot up to the end of season 4. Then it all went shambles. Too repetitive and too predictable. But the second and third season were definitely quite good. 4th also wasn't that bad. I loved that group that went into space. Probably the best characters +/- one or two. I honestly think it's worth for what it is until s5 (even s5 is still watchable).

I think Stargate Atlantis had a good "survival" ark at the start and a good progression despite being HIGH scifi. Having it be a one way trip and having to survive the first season or so in what is basically a run down complex was super cool. The constant power progression where they steadily learned and activated different parts of the complex were great.

SG Atlantis had great writing and the mini problems felt organic. When everything went back to normal, there was still a sense of continuity and impact of what has happened until that moment. There was no power creep because it told you what the end goal was and you were expecting shit to go down the way it did. With the 100, there's a "what would happen if" concept with a "young adult novel" feel to it. It could go on endlessly and was bound to end up down a flight of stairs at one point.

As a guy trying to make his own action-driven fantasy novel and all, this is beyond excellent advice. Thank you kind sir.

@@janedoe4491 No, it wasn't pointless, forgetful, or dumb. There were extenuating circumstances in which Bob wanted off the show/needed time off and the writers needed something for Beallmy to do because they couldn't recast. This is why they had to kill him off. I feel they did so in a way that ultimately was a good decision and tracks with how they wrote everything else leading up to that. By making a main character do it (directly or indirectly) and then forcing to deal with the consequences. This is fundamental conflict writing and literally par for the course for them. If they had to kill him off, I can why they had Clarke do it. Additionally, there was no more story to tell with Bellamy. His arc was done, he wasnt going to grow ornchnage anymore. Clarke was not finished and they needed to jumpstart her final piece of development.

Season 7 both involves planet hopping AND an AI hivemind, somehow being framed as the good guys, ironically.

I would love to hear more discussions on power creep both good and bad examples as I don’t remember seeing many fun and in depth conversation about power creep as a whole when I feel power creep is neglected by some of the mor popular shows in recent times.

I do like myself some "escalation to the point of being nuts", but not when it comes to just power, that cheapens past struggles. I do like surprising reveals and connections, that retroactively make what happened previously much more relevant (or rather reveal that relevancy), rather than lessening it. The best example I have of this is the book-series Malazan, which has an obscene amount of characters and lore and makes you go "oh shit, that's how it is!" a lot.

In regards to magical kill switches, the GoT switch to be fair, was introduced earlier in the show. Sure the last season was generally a seaming pile of poodoo, and that battle was VERY poorly handled... but if there was one thing I did enjoy it was the idea that if the king falls, the game is over. Like a game of chess. I got why the nightking's end meant the end of winter. I just didn't get why Bran was really that important. Sure books are rare, but they do exist. And its not like the three eyed raven was important before Bran existed.

I think the main issue wasn't that this one simple dagger was introduced back in season 1, or that Valyrian Steel was shown to kill white walkers, it's more the idea that the show contradicts itself as the bit about wights falling apart when a white walker is killed wasn't ever shown when the other white walkers were killed in seasons 3 and 5 respectively. It's a perfect example of a bogus way to overcome new obstacles because it just sorta shoehorns the solution in and hopes people wouldn't notice how it didn't do that beforehand, and in the case of GoT, the characters didn't suddenly develop new powers or discover new magic, the fundamentals of the show simply changed and it made very little sense. I don't mind tense kill switches in cases like that, but they could've at least kept consistency in the process. They also could've let literally anyone else kill the Night King, someone who deserved that kill, like maybe... Theon? He was right there, the scene was writing itself, it would've been perfect. But alas, can't change what's already been written. Damn you, GoT, you fucked up.

I love this show because I started watching it as a young child but the last few seasons just didn’t seem like part of the main story arc, I still found it all entertaining to some degree I just preferred the first few seasons

Magical kill switch that showed up outta nowhere? Energy Bending😅

I think it was more about character development and seeing how the core group, and those that joined along the way, adapted based on their circumstances (i.e. what Raven was willing to do by the final season). It was interesting to see a core group literally go from what can be considered the beginning of life (returning to earth) to the end of it (ascension). I think it was based around how humans react to different facets of humanity; whether it be something primitive like war/classism, something scientific such as AI, or something spiritual such as ascension. I loved every season and have rewatched about 3 times!

The show went 0 to 100 real quick 😂

You say the antagonists of season 5 were “tech wielding” but they really only had prison shock collars, and space mining tools. And they didn’t use the mining tools as much as you imply.

I rewatched the show cause the first time, I couldn’t really take in everything that was happening and honestly, you really didn’t have time to react to anything going on. One thing happens and all of a sudden, “Oop here’s this other thing” I clearly remember feeling so out of it finishing season 3 cause it was so intense for me. trying to take in the rollercoaster that was the show. After the first rewatch, it finally made me think about how crazy going from 100 kids surviving to only 4 of the kids having to fight off a cult leader is. It’s clear the writers were running out of ideas but found a way to make it work because the whole point of the show is survival and doing what needs to be done for the people you love. I watched someone watch only the first and last episode of the 100 and it really solidified it for me. Imagine watching the first episode of the series about a group of kids trying to survive then watch the last episode and hearing the line “take out her mind drive” LIKE WHAT?!

One of the best shows of all time, like most other comment sections about it I see most either over analyze it or don't try to at all.

Please walk me through this... The grounders are firmly established as vengeful. Then in the 11th hour their "leader" chooses NOT to seek revenge or justice against Mount Weather for decades of hostility and violence because of why exactly? So Mount Weather gave some of their people back? So? So what?! They have been kidnapping their people for generations, for decades. They have killed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of grounders. Politically the grounders are taking a big risk that the people from the Ark won't take revenge for this betrayal, a betrayal which very possibly could end with all of them dying. They are taking an enormous risk that Mount Weather, *which has never before been friendly to the grounders and which if they win will be considerably more powerful* will somehow become friendly to the grounders now, for no reason. Politically it's insane! Literally no matter what happens whoever wins whether its the Ark or Mount Weather they will be hostile to the grounders because to the Ark the grounders have proven themselves faithless curs, and to Mount Weather they've been enemies for generations already! Once again, it's totally out of character to avoid taking revenge on Mount Weather considering what already happened with Finn. It's insane that Lexa would have power to pull a stunt like this without her own people revolting against her IMMEDIATELY. It's insane that every single grounder would not be salivating over the thought of revenge on the people from the mountain who have been kidnapping, killing, and terrorizing them for as long as any of them can remember. It's insane for Lexa personally due to her supposed relationship with Clarke. The only reason that the people in Mount Weather even die is because the original plan that would have made it possible for them to survive was shot all to hell by the grounders betrayal. It's a plot contrivance in the worst possible way. It's insane, it's against character, it's against established world building, it's against established plot. It literally only happens in order to reduce the size of the cast so that a new batch of characters can be ushered in for season 3.

The 100 is my all-time favourite show, but it left me feeling confused. Many questions unanswered and it gave me just an overall "wait what now" kind of mindset throughout the show because too many things just crossed over its initial plot. I read the books and let me tell you, I would've LOVED to see it as a tv show. The thing that bugged me the most was that the show went from Post-Apocalyptic Survival, to literally Sci-fi Fantasy, unlike the books that kept it consistent BUT had new things that didn't overshoot its overall plot. Don't get me wrong, I still love this show and I've followed it through its years and seeing the characters grow and end like that was kind of a relief.

I used to be a huge fan of this show during seasons 1-2, with Marcus Kane and John Murphy being my favourite characters. It’s a shame how rapidly things descended into utter gibberish. Thank you for making a video on it though!

I think the bits of analysis were really good but I think the summary part was a little long

I thought the 100 was fun because they were shamelessly throwing every sci-fi, fantasy, CW trope against a wall. When they had to make sense out of the pile they created, it got boring. It was fun as a background show until season 4, where I stopped watching it except for skimming through the last season.

For the longest time I hoped there would be an underwater base that would introduce a new threat. That would get around the mount weather no sunlight issue

It had many flaws, but I still loved this show (from season 1 - 5). No other show gives me as strong of an urge to go back and rewatch as this show for some reason

"fo ma peepo"

I actually love what the 100 did. It felt epic and i missed the people we left behind season after season.

sounds actually pretty fun

I personally would have liked The 100 much more if they went with a "rebuild civilization" approach. The Arc could have been the start of a new city, Polis could have become a centre of technology and trade, tondc could have been rebuilt to become Washington again. If done right they could have done something like the Fallout series were there were actually other people who lived beyond the region where humans emerged from again. Then there could have been a war and conflict until it gets resolved and a new America is born. Instead, they decided to nuke everything.

not gonna lie for me i think season 1-4 were awsome how ever rest of seasons i watched just for watching and i didnt even enjoyed kinda same with agents of shield(too much of mower creep, and not being in the same universe, well it was but not really since in MCU what happend in shield series wont matter at all, couse it becname not cannon anymore

ive thought about this for so long, the show starts off as a grounded survival show and ends with human kind transcending on an alien planet, the escalation is crazy

The AI made perfect sense. You just didnt watch the show. The AI (ALIE) was created by Becca Franco. Becca Franco was the top scientist of her time. She created Cryo-Sleep, Nightblood, and all the other super high tech we see. ALIE was created to make like better for everyone. But she figured the problem was too many people. ALIE launched the nukes that ended earth trying to make it better but she didnt understand human feelings. So when Jaha discovers the lab (After a long journey searching) He bring back the chips to his Camp. He was the Leader in space so his following is still large. The chip removes all pain and death. When you die you live in "the city of light" . The problem was she was erasing the bad memories to remove pain. So people wont remember their kid that died, etc. After not enough people took it, she made everyone take it by force by controlling the ones who already took it. I wont explain the MAGICAL LEVER because its just one huge spoiler. But it all makes perfect scientific sense.

If I recall the Show started before the first book finished. The show presented a lot of repeating themes for humanity. The ending at season 7 wrapped everything up pretty nicely. It basically showed no matter how much humanity advanced they'd repeat the same mistakes. The power escalation seems like it was that way because it showed no matter how advanced humanity became they still made the same mistakes. I feel like this show was very strong for the CW considering it had themes that were more mature than the target audience of the entire network.

I didn't start watching the 100 until Season 4 with the Asteroid Miners showing up so I didn't really notice as much of that drastic power creep. Since they made reference to the AI and commanders as stuff they had already dealt with. But it is interesting to hear from someone who started at the beginning.

The power creep seems to be a part of every fantasy/SF TV series from CW. Good example would be The Vampire Diaries where in every show they introduced even older and even more powerful vampire to be a villain, even though Klaus was supposed to be the ultimate enemy.
