The 100 Season 5 Predictions

Most of us already know that season 4 ended with a mysterious ship entering Earth’s atmosphere and basically touching down right beside Clarke and her new Nightblood. What we don't know is, who is in that ship? How did Clarke and Maddie survive? And what about Bellamy, Raven and the others? What about character growth? Season 5 is going to be a brand new show. I think its going to be different from all the other seasons. Will the fans like this change? These are some of my predictions for season 5 of the 100.

Prediction #1, The Mysterious Ship:

A ship touches down, and we are left with one of the biggest cliffhangers in the 100’s history. Who is in that ship? As sucky as it is to say I don't think Bellamy, Raven, Monty and the others are in that ship. First off the ship has the words Eligius Corporation written on the side of it. I think it also said Cell Block-R (Couldn't really see it too well.) Then Prisoner Transport. Could whoever is in this ship be prisoners from another Ark in space? Or from a planet colony. Now for this I have two theories. The first being that I think it’s really interesting that the show is introducing a “Wayland-Yutani Corp”. Eligius might be the 100’s Wayland Corporation. How crazy would that be?! What does this mean though? Well if you're a big fan of anything from the Alien movies or anything in that Ridley Scott universe he’s created then you know that Wayland Corp. isn't the most upstanding ethical company to work for. I mean look at poor Ripley. All the sh*t she had to go through. What if Eligius Corp was either working with Becca’s company Infinity, or had Becca working for them. Could the nightblood have something to do with all of this? Could those people be part of a prisoner experimentation to create nightblood for planet mining or colonizing another planet? Would these people be the originals waking up from cryo-sleep or would they be the descendents? My second theory isn't so exciting, or interesting but This could be a ship from another Ark. Perhaps a private company that didn't want to be under the laws of the Ark, which was built by the world Governments. Question is are these people(Yes people, no they wouldn't bring in aliens that's ridiculous. . I hope.) good or bad? Well I think this is going to set up a brand new “Problem”. You know how the 100 likes to throw one problem right after another at us? It's just how it is. Will these new space people be able to live with the Grounders? With Clarke, Bellamy and the others?

Prediction #2, How Did They Survive:

How does Clarke and Maddie survive? You’ve got to think that Primfya would have killed off all the animals, most of the plants and veggies. So what did they live off of? They wouldn't just leave that unanswered would they? How do the others survive on the Ark? I think season 5 is going to be a lot of flashbacks. Theyre going to show us in bits and pieces how everyone evolved, and survived. We’re going to see flashbacks on the Ark, on the ground and within the Earth Where Octavia has risen to be Commander.

Prediction #3, Character Growth/Bellarke Predictions:

Will there be character growth and what does that mean for certain individuals? What does that mean for the show? Most certainly there will be. There were two key important things I read in an interview with Jason Rothenberg. The first being he stated (Paraphrasing) that “Clarke was the Head and Bellamy was the Heart.” As fans of the show we know this is a major running theme throughout the show. Whether you’re a Bellarke fan or not, there's no denying that Bellamy and Clarke treat each other like a crutch, and play on one another's strengths.Clarke needs Bellamy's passion, and impulsive nature. Otherwise she comes off as cold and detached. Bellamy needs Clarke's strong will and her factual decision making to make the tough calls that Bellamy cant or doesnt want to make. I don't know if anyone else got this impression while watching the season 4 finale but the time jump forward you could see Clarke looked different. I don't mean her appearance, her short hair with the red little streak, I mean she looked more at peace. I think this season is really going to show just how much Clarke has finally forgiven herself for all the things she has done. She found Maddie who looks to be about 12 years old so Clarke likely found her when she was 6. I think raising Maddie and saving her, has not only made Clarke bond with her on a maternal level but I think it was kind of her redemption. Clarke saved her and she felt like she had finally done something good that didn't require anyone’s sacrifice. I think Clarke will have finally forgiven herself for all the people she’s killed. Now I think Bellamy is going to be very different. I can’t say he’s forgiven himself, because Bellamy is one of those people that can never forget the things he’s done. I think that ties into his brooding, and impulsive nature. Though this season I think we’re going to see something different. Bellamy will still be the Bellamy we all know and love but I think he’ll be a bit stronger, emotionally. Bellamy has always been a leader. In fact Octavia tells him that right before the radio cuts out at the end of season 4. She tells him that these people look up to her and that it should be him or Clarke. We all know that Raven, Monty, even John will all follow Bellamy willingly because Bellamy has always had that leader personality. Though, this time he won't have his crutch to lean on, Clarke. I think this season is really going to emphasize just how much Bellamy will have to be the Head and the Heart. He will have to be the Clarke and the Bellamy. As a leader on the Ark he will have to make decisions based on fact and not his emotions, which is something he’s not really used to doing. I think that's really going to change just how much he needs Clarke. . Meaning, he won't need her anymore.

Another important thing Jason Rothenberg said in an interview is that these characters, have been separated a lot longer then they have been together. That’s a really good point. I am a huge Bellarke fan but when I read this, I was genuinely surprised. From the moment the 100 touched the ground to the moment Bellamy, Raven, Monty and the others have to go into space it’s only been about 7 months. Bellamy, Raven, Monty, Clarke, and Murphy, along with a few others have all only been on the ground together for about 6 to 7 months. They will all be apart for 6 years. Thats a long a time. Which brings me to the most depressing prediction I have. Bellarke. . . I think there will be no Bellarke in season 5. “MAYBE” at the end of season 5 we will start to see Bellamy and Clarke get closer, to the point there might be a Bellarke in Season 6 but no Bellarke for season 5. :( I know, sadness. The reason I think this is one very annoying character by the name of Echo. The show has made it a point that Bellamy and Echo have a chemistry. Now Im not saying for sure that Bellamy’s gonna come down from space with his arms around Echo, because he could very well end up with Raven. After all he and Raven do have history. A naked history lol. But for some reason I have a gut feeling it’s gonna be Echo. . That wh**e.. Lol jk. Now originally I had thought that Bellamy might come down with a girlfriend, and a kid. Ugh dreaded I know. Clarke is the only one who can have his babies. But I had read that having children actors is very difficult to work with, and I’m really banking that that's true. Hoping. Hopefully someday we will have a Bellarke. They wouldn't end the show without a Bellarke right? Right?! I mean, it’s cannon! It’s in the damn books! I think it will also be interesting to see Octavia in a different role. The Grounders treated Octavia like she was the new Heda. Their new leader. This is something that has never been introduced to Octavia’s character and I look forward to seeing her fill out that role. 

I didnt really like season 4, without bashing too harshly on the season, because I’ve done that already, Im hoping season 5 will be better. Even if Bellamy does come down from space with a girlfriend. Though the last episode was really good and I liked the cliffhanger it left us with. Now we just have to wait for 2018. Whoo, fun. Better get out my 100 books for a Bellarke fix.
