The 100 7x01
I spoiled myself to hell and back before watching the episode (that’s how I’m planning to watch this entire season, ngl), and I was a little skeptical about certain things I’d seen in the tags. Namely people going about Raven “making up” to Clarke, apologizing to her for s6, being “dragged” by Murphy or whatever. After watching the episode? I’m ASTONISHED at how little is enough for some stans LMFAO. Raven didn’t do any of those things?? The “I’m sorry” was about putting her foot in her mouth by saying “mothers and daughters” in front of Clarke, being friendly with her was about sharing grief and managing Sanctum’s problem and never framed as “making up for her behavior” (there was ZERO condemnation about Raven in s6), Murphy’s “Miss Morality” was immediately counteracted by her answer... It was literally a bone thrown their way after all their complaints so they’d interpret it as they wanted to and shut up, and it was a terrible bone at that. Seeing it made me feel better about the supposed ~spoilers about Raven’s s7 plot tbh. That even things that can be interpreted as they are doing are going to come across differently on screen.
Once that’s out of the way: I loved the rest of Raven’s part in the episode, with her telling Memori to step up as Primes to get Sanctum under control, bragging about it, going around strateging about their compound, BEING RIGHT ABOUT SHEIDHEDA, casually joking about A.L.I.E., etc. And god, I have missed her classic look so, so much. I was mesmerized by her this whole episode. That James Wonkru/Skaikru dude competed for Most Relatable Character on the show when he saw her and said “thank god!” xDD
Speaking off, Memori as con-artists/Fake Gods was amazing LMAO. Especially Emori doing research by reading Kaylee’s journal! My girl. LOL at her joy about living in a palace (shame Clarke had to screw that up lol). And look, if Sanctum is going to be weirded out about two supposed gods committing “incest”, they should’ve read the fine print in their “cult followers” contract, okay xD. I’m not all there with Murphy’s “guilt” plot (it’s just repetitive and masturbatory af), so I hope he gets something else to do soon. Preferably while getting eye-liner back, just sayin’ (after watching a couple of Richard Harmon’s scenes in Van Helsing I’ve decided that styling department should go to The 100 and dress him up all the time, btw).
The “Bellamy disappears and Echo & co go after him” was a very small plot within the episode. I loved Echo’s part --I’ve seen how people are interpreting her hallucination and rolling my eyes, but I liked it. Here for Echo shooting Roan as a placeholder for her insecurities xD. She also proved once again what a great strategist she is (figuring out the mysterious attackers non-lethal intentions and how to neutralize them, overcoming the hallucination, etc.) and how things would just be better with her leading, just saying :P (I really hope the “without someone to follow, who are you?” line is leading up to that). I’m also very glad that Russell destroyed Priya’s drive right away --that ought to kill that godawful “theory”, right?? LOL.
I don’t know how I feel about Hope yet (other than being bored af by how often this name pops up ugh) but there were a few moments where I could see Diyoza in her (now I want McCreary xDD). I want either confirmed or plausible Diyoza/Octavia out of this co-parenting storyline, btw xD. And I already liked Gabriel just fine from last season, but seeing him in the middle of an attack, in what seemed to be immediate danger to his life, and still focused on how ~fascinating the anomaly is was hilarious and made me like him even more. I like those types okay xD. I now want him and Raven to talk about the anomaly & weird science (oh look, new rarepair the fandom might annoy me convenience shipping smh).
Another highlight (and contestant to most relatable character) was Indra avoiding awkward family talk by focusing on her soup xD. She was gr10 this episode. Please @ show give Adina Porter more material this season.
I’ve seen speculation about Clarke and Gaia getting together and I don’t know how I feel about it. I definitely see where the speculation comes from, between the co-parenting Madi, Clarke being so grateful to her, the ~lingering soft looks, Clarke explicitly dismissing Clarke/Lexa in front of her (“seems like another world”)... And on the one hand, it’d be SUCH a calculated strike from the writers part that I am almost in awe of it. OTOH... I like Gaia xD. I don’t want her to become Clarke’s supporting partner, especially with all the implications that might come from it. On a third hand, by pursuing Gaia, Clarke would show the best taste she’s had so far in the show LMAO (I’m not counting Niylah here, because Clarke never deigned to treat her as anything but a safety net, lbr).
Is this show really saying that Clarke never asked Madi about her bio-parents LMFAO. Between this and the shock collar, Madi really drew the short straw, huh? At least she now has a cute dog and comfy clothes.
So Sheidheda is now in Russell’s body (kinky. Especially with him feeling the need to mention he prefers the current over the original one lol). Okay. Was he airdropped on him?? LMAO. Honestly I only care about this in so far as I can keep calling the character Something Something Chris Argent and because I like the actor xD. Anyway, he’s probably going to have a field day, between how easy it was for him to fool Clarke and how a sizeable part of Sanctum will go to the end of the Earth for “him”.
I hate how stereotypically Eligius’ prisoners are written tbh. In any case, they’re right: if they’re building the compound, they better get to be a part of it, just saying (the implications about prison labor in all this storyline back from s5 itself that the show is likely just going to ignore smh).
“Who knew putting a broken society back together would be hard work”. Like I always say with Sanctum-cult related nonsense: where’s Blodreina when you need her xDD. Next episode is called “The Garden” and the synopsis references “Hope’s mysterious past”, so hopefully it’ll be about Diyoza and Octavia. It seems they got scenes from early on for the promo so it’s probably where the “WHY AREN’T WE ENOUGH?” romantic-coded as fuck line comes from LOL. BTW, the Hope & Octavia hallucination? Gave me so many Aurora-Octavia feels omg.
