#THE 100 FINALE SERIES#
So when the series cut to black, how did it all end? Was Clarke able to save the human race once and for all while also keeping her soul intact? Hm, yes and no. Just know that if you stuck with The 100 for all seven seasons, you have seen some things. So much happened in seven seasons! And I didn’t even get into all those City of Light shenanigans or the cannibalism-in-the-bunker situation or the fate of our precious Lincoln.

I don’t even know anymore! The 100 was - especially in the later seasons - needlessly complicated at times. If you just read all of that and thought I must have just tossed a bunch of words into a blender and then laid them out randomly to form sentences, honestly, you might be right. Cadogan has been wearing a lot of white robes and studying those stones and is waiting for a “Last War” so that humans can transcend into some higher plane of being. Bardo is inhabited by the Disciples, a group of people descended from a survivalist cult back on Earth (where they also had a space time-traveling stone) who follow that same cult leader (cryosleep, baby!) called the Shepherd, but whose real name is Bill Cadogan. Our group of humans royally mess up that whole Sanctum situation, because destroying societies is what they do best, only to learn that Sanctum is connected to a nearby planet called Bardo thanks to some trippy ancient stones people can travel through. Our protagonist Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) - also known as Wanheda, dabbler in some light genocide - and her merry band of survivors (just kidding, no one on this show is “merry” except maybe Jasper at some point, RIP) cryogenically freeze themselves and travel on a spaceship for 125 years until they arrive at Sanctum, a moon where, thanks to scientific space exploration, humans landed long ago and figured out a way to save their consciousness on a “mind drive” that they could insert into other people’s bodies and live forever.

No, seriously, if you haven’t watched The 100 in a season or three and turned on last night’s series finale, you probably wouldn’t recognize it.Īfter we learned that yes, Earth was habitable and the people living in space could return, and that, surprise, surprise, a whole bunch of people had actually survived on the ground - they’re called Grounders - and began a new, tribalistic way of life, eventually there is yet another apocalyptic event: Praimfaya. We’ve come a long way from 100 juvenile delinquents on a ship housing mankind in space being sent to a postapocalyptic Earth to see if it’s still habitable 97 years after a nuclear holocaust, baby. Was Clarke able to save the human race once and for all while also keeping her soul intact? Hm, yes and no.
