These last few episodes were not what I expected. I feel like they wasted way too much time. To be clear, i am ok with everything that happened. I don't share all the hate. Sure some characters didn't deserve to die the way they did. But that's how death is. It doesn't always come the way someone deserves. People die in stupid accidents, or get killed because of misunderstandings.
Clarke killing Bellamy was stupid and unnecessary, sure. We know that now. But in that moment, after he just betrayed her and told the truth about the flame and risked the lives of their friends and then put Maddie's life at risk, it made sense. If she knew the outcome, of course she wouldn't have done that. But in that moment, she didn't see her best friend anymore. She thought it was the right thing to do. So I'm not mad at Clarke. If the show had a little more air to breath and the actor of Bellamy available for more scenes, the show could've given a more satisfying ending for him. It is what it is. We shouldn't blame the producer/writers for everything.
About the trailer:
The last war in the trailer looks just stupid. A confrontation that should've happened at least in the penultimate episode.
I understand this is the last war on the show. Whatever the outcome is, there won't be other wars. They all will either die or live in peace forever. But what about Becca's vision?
So she saw two groups of people fighting each other and was terrified and felt that humanity is not ready for that? Good thing she didn't see how the last few people on earth destroyed the last habitable spot on earth. I mean. This whole prophecy must be wrong, right?
Whatever comes out of this final episode: I don't think they can wrap everything up in 43 minutes. So I'm keeping expectations very low at this point.
I wish they would've shown more of the species that lived on Bardo before they got killed by that virus. I wanted to see the species that created that virus. I wanted to know why there was war between them and where humanity stands in that conflict.
But I'm afraid there is no time left for that.
I hope they can solve the mystery around the stone and what Becca saw with a nice satisfying twist. Put some flashbacks in, show what happens to everyone and I'm ok.
I can't believe this show suffers from the same problems GoT did. Too many stories; not enough episodes, 'stupid' character decisions because they are rushing with the scenes to finish telling the stories and questions that will never be answered properly.
I hope the final episode is more satisfying than the finale of GoT.
