3 and 4 compare well, 4 is my favorite. It has a very desperate tone throughout and everything feels earned.
After that you should imagine your own conclusion and hop right off.
Not as pessimistic but yeah, we'll see in a month or so if a slightly modified season 4 ending would have been superior. It seems we're going for some thematic moral and those can be heavily disappointing. I think I read the showrunner was heavily influenced by BSG, whose ending I liked, but very divided.
Who the hell knows?! That seemed to have gone absolutely no where.
Definitely possible considering the head games they can play, though that cave (eating the lichen, etc) could've been messing with his mind too.
Regardless, Bellamy is still a fuckboy.
I'm with the Free Murphy crew, as long as he and Emori live I'll be good. But I suspect one of them will die considering, against all inkling of their characters, they totally trusted the murderous convict woman to just chill there with questionable rope binds. I'm guessing Emori will die trying to protect Madi or something.
I too was wondering what happened to Jordan's "I know this language!" plotline. It's like the writers completely forgot about it.
Hopefully there won't be any more breaks after this. There's only 4 episodes left after all.
There is a rumor that Clarke will say "my people" in the next episode. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.
Probably CW stretching the season out because they have almost nothing to air because of covid and the "fall season" not premiering until January.
Was afraid of that. Never understood that logic, sometimes the break is so long I forget what happened and it's not like they usually rerun episodes.
Season 4 is my favorite. Season 4 and 5 finales are 2 of the best episodes in the entire show, IMO.
I'm worried that there's too much left to cover in four episodes. I have low optimism for the remainder of the season despite mostly enjoying this season.
Yeaaaah... show runner giving the old "we value him and thank him for so many years and wish him all the best".
I know I said I didn't want him on the show anymore because of his real life shittiness, but... the character deserved better lol. Ignoring the actor, I wish they hadn't bothered to bring the character back and just left him dead after the last time. That was really unsatisfying. There's ways to be subversive and still fulfilling, that was not one of them.
Yeah, it felt cheap. Don't think it was earned. Everything just seemed kinda scatterbrained in this episode.
Yeah...there must have been some extra weird stuff going on behind the scenes for the show to do Bellamy like that.
Like,
he's absent for most of the final (!) season
everyone is like where is Bellamy
oh there he is but now he's dead :(
oh he's alive :)
brainwash?!
I'm going to give the notepad to dad to start the final war
no don't
yes
kill
you gonna take the notepad with you that you killed your husband for
no I'm going in the wormhole
but the other soldiers will find it, rendering my death pointless
*bloop*
my thoughts exactly lmao

Damn, well yeah then that death sucked but oh well. Clarke crying on the portal was really dumb. Should've just spat her out on the other end, then showed her crying.
As for his actual death, in fine with it. Clarke couldn't let them get to Maddie. She took that shot, thinking that she had more bullets left. After she was out, she didn't have any options but up leave the book behind. The soldier could've killed her right then and there had she gone for the book.
I do wonder if Bob requested this. I know he wanted some time off the show, which is why he was gone for so long.

Yeah, the overall execution of everything going down lacked clarity and real emotional weight behind it. I get Bob in real life may have needed a reduced schedule, but the writing for his exit should have been better.
I kind of forgot the significance of Maddie's notebook and drawings, and why in particular that would be so bad if the Disciples got their hands on it. Like they would have seen her weird sketches and decided they needed to kill her right away or something?
Also the flame holding the key to deciphering the last war or being able to start it - I hope they have a good payoff for introducing and leaning on this concept so much in the last season. Overall I think Season 7 just needed tighter focus, too many factions that we don't really care about.

The sketchbook is important because the flame still figuratively lives on within Maddie. If the cult figures that out, they'll probably torture her to extract whatever info on Becca or whomever they need to start that last war.
Honestly that wasn't clear to me until a few minutes ago. I agree they could've explained that better lol.
I think in order to make Bellamy's arc at all satisfying in the end, they need to reveal that he was right to believe in the Shepard and that Clarke, Octavia, et al were all wrong to distrust him.
Okay, that makes some sense. Although I've never been the biggest fan of the whole flame concept. The exact info that Maddie could have, acting as a sort of Rosetta stone to start the last war, seems dubious. Especially when Jasper seemed to be able to use his Korean heritage to decipher the translation a different way.
For me the show has excelled when they put the characters in a situation where they need to survive, make 2 difficult choices, etc. The sci-fi particulars could have used another writing pass, lol.
OK, three episodes left now? Come on Murphy, hang in there and don't die. You can do it! His happiness and survival is my top priority / hope for the final three episodes.
In the final minute of the final episodes, 10 years into a time jump where everyone is living peacefully, he suddenly threathens Maddie because she is a moody teenager. Clarke is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly sniper bullet through the head.
The reddit forum is hilarious with comparisons to GoT and people refusing to watch the last episodes live.
The death was not great but really guy had been a non figure all season pops back in and then boom.
I think the actors long absence then the two weeks on two weeks off airing schedule killed the impact for me. Maybe a binge viewing run would give it more impact.

Yes, I think that's basically the only way. Either that, or he was actually in some deep double agent role lol.
Indra left him to slowly bleed out instead of finishing him so he's definitely still alive. lol
They left him with a mortal wound and Jackson and Gabriel hopped over to Earth so yeah waste of time. Sanctum has been a waste of time from start to finish.
Well Mortal wound doesn't mean much in this show now unless they show the person dying lol, especially if it's someone like Sheidheda
Yeah you're right he'll probably show up at the last minute and shoot Madi for the drama of it all.
