i will never not scream at the top of my fucking lungs that she deserved better. i will never not cheer clarke on for murdering that man. i would’ve done it without regrets too. she was a fucking child. she was a child. she was what, like,, 12 mentally?? i know all of them were asleep for 125 years but you get the fucking point. and sure, he didn’t kill her kill her, but he took her life from her. he put her under a memory capture procedure but went way too far and caused her to have a massive fucking stroke in her brain stem. she was completely, irreparably paralyzed after. she could hear and see everything around her but that’s it. she would never talk again, eat again, walk again, etc because cadogan took that from her. he took a child’s like away from her and left her there. she was alone and scared and she didn’t want to leave clarke in solitude. she was a child who had the weight of the world put on her shoulders. i mean she became a leader of the people at 12. and she did it to save her fucking mom. and what makes madi’s death even sadder? when octavia was about to mercy kill her so that clarke wouldn’t have to kill her own daughter, clarke began to hum the same song she hummed when she mercy killed atom in season one. the same song charlotte hummed when she killed wells. i fucking hate bill cadogan.

Oh my gosh, louder for the people in the back.
I love Sheidheda, and I hate how they've just used him as a mere plot device when he'd been so hyped up as a character and he could have been so much more than what we saw.
They had JR Bourne, a spectacular actor, playing him in season 7 and they did nothing to make the character more nuanced and meaningful except briefly mentioning that his mother abandoned him as a kid.
This show started with teens being victims of violence and growing and learning how to thrive so making this theme resurface, with Sheidheda and Octavia (who were both very wronged as kids and were deep in the cycle of violence themselves) possibly breaking the cycle would have been a magnificent way of wrapping things up.
Sheidheda Should Have Been A Teenager
Okay, so hear me out, cause I really feel like this would have made his storyline more interesting, more nuanced, and more thematically resonant.
We first hear about Sheidheda from Gaia (a flame-keeper) as the “dark commander” who killed three of his flame-keepers before being killed by his fourth. And that’s really all the evidence Gaia gives for why this commander was evil. But from what we see of the flame-keepers… they do not have the nightblood novitiates or the commanders interests at heart and are in fact a danger to them. From what we see in season 3, for example, the nightblood novitiates seem to only have Titus and Lexa as guardians/teachers/adult figures in their lives- and Titus (and Lexa but we’re talking about flame-keepers), besides essentially raising these children for the slaughter, was emotionally distant/unequipped to raise a bunch of kids (”love is weakness”) and played favorites- in which kid he wanted to live and kill all the others (as Luna says about Lexa being Titus’ favorite and what Lexa says about Aden being commander after her (in front of the other kids, even) supports this as just a thing that the people surrounding the nightblood kids did). And then Titus kills Lexa (unintentionally, but still he killed her while he was trying to control and manipulate her). And I feel like it’s worth noting that the whole system revolves around child commanders that aren’t expected to last long, with other (younger and more pliable children) in the wings should the they die- this is the perfect system for allowing (head?) flame-keepers to discretely (or not so discretely, see Sheidheda) do away with commanders that they deem too troublesome- that don’t follow their advice or, like Lexa, try to change traditions. And then the flame-keepers are still alive and institutionally powerful enough to control the narrative of the dead commander’s legacy.
So it’s easy to Sheidheda as having been made a commander as a child (say the same age as Madi, even), who’s just been forced to kill the children he grew up with to survive. And now, he’s friendless, surrounded by people watching with hawk eyes for weakness, with only a flame-keeper as an ally. A flame-keeper who’s emotionally distant (probably neglectful), who probably views Sheidheda as replaceable, maybe even would have preferred another child as commander and now resents Sheidheda for it. (And with how much power the flame-keepers have, especially over the nightblood children; well who would have stopped the flame-keeper if they were outright abusive). It’s to see how Sheidheda would see violence as the only way to survive (that is after all how he’s commander and his classmates are dead) and resents his flame-keeper or feel like his flame-keeper is a danger to him. So he kills his flame-keeper. And the next flame-keeper distrusts Sheidheda and Sheidheda distrusts the flame-keeper and eventually murders this flame-keeper, too. And so on, until the fourth flame-keeper murders Sheidheda, at say, age sixteen, confirming to Sheidheda that flame-keepers are dangerous, out to get him, and that he was right to kill the first three.
So, what? Am I saying that Shiedheda should have been the good guy, an unfairly maligned commander? Not really. I still think Sheidheda should be a ruthless, merciless, violent commander who, paraphrasing from Luna, was taught by the flame-keepers to revel in his anger and violence. I am saying it would be more interesting if he was painted (at least somewhat) sympathetic villain, as a teenager who embodies of the cycle of violence.
I also think it would be interesting if he genuinely had what he thought were Madi’s best interests at heart.
Maybe he sees himself in Madi (a child commander of a society that uses and discards nightblood children) or maybe he sees the nighblood children he grew up with before he was forced to kill them.
And this could have easily fit with his actions for most of season 6. He repeatedly tells Madi to kill Gaia, because from his experience with flame-keepers, they’re dangerous so you’d better kill them before they kill you. And hell, Sheidheda is not exactly wrong about Gaia, either. Yes in the end she decides to sacrifice the flame to save Madi, but before that she stated- multiple times- that she would murder Madi before allowing Sheidheda control of Wonkru.
Sheidheda’s plans for murdering all the primes? Well, Madi clearly wants revenge for them murdering Clarke and they’ll be a threat to Madi if they find out she’s a nightblood. Better to kill them all now.
Telling her to kill Jackson while he’s forcibly taking her bone marrow is pretty self-explanatory (especially when you consider he didn’t seem like he was going to do anything when Russell ordered them to take enough doses that would kill her).
Even threatening to “kill this child” if Raven doesn’t stop trying to delete his code fits with this if you view it as self preservation (he’s looking out for Madi but he’s not willing to die for her) and/or a bluff because he thinks he’s the only one looking out for Madi and he thinks she’ll die without him (he’s projecting his experiences of being a child commander onto her).
And can you imagine the reveal, if for episodes we’d been hearing about this scary, evil commander and oh no, he’s starting to control Madi and telling her to murder Gaia, and then we go into Madi’s mindscape and holy shit Sheidheda’s sixteen.
And thematically, we could get into the cycle of violence. How when children are taught they have to kill to survive, that violence and anger are strength, they will kill and keep killing. How this system of child commanders and child soldiers hurts children, and is bad all around. How in order to “do better”, you have to stop this cycle of violence (and you can’t keep using fucking child soldiers, yes I’m talking about Madi). And- especially if you keep some of the season 7 “Sheidheda in Russell’s body” plot- the question of “how do you stop the cycle of violence when those still caught in the cycle are determined to still commit violence?” is much more present than what we actually got in season 7.

The retconning in The 100 was kinda ridiculous. As early as the second episode - getting rid of Kane’s wife - they were having issues. Why didn’t they just cut her scenes out before they aired it? It’s so evident that Clarke was being teased as Lexa’s heir in Season 2. But then, Jason had to come up with a way of explaining the commanders and what made them special. And even in Season 4, I think a better choice would’ve been giving Clarke the flame then. Maybe Roan and Luna back her claim? And the fact that the first commanders weren’t natural nightbloods either should’ve helped her. The grounders respected strength and no one was more respected than Clarke. Lexa also held her close, I don’t think the objections made a lot of sense. It feels like Roan’s character kept going in circles and then they killed him off. To be honest, I would’ve supported a Roan and Clarke relationship. Her struggling to maintain leadership would’ve been better than Praimfaya for me.
I feel like Praimfaya is where they reached a point of no return. Madi should’ve never been introduced. She was used for one season and then was just a nuisance. Them reverting from Octavia -who was basically Wonkru’s Jesus - to the flame and Madi was horrible. Not only was it nonsensical, but again we were going in circles. O being leader meant they were stepping away from the flame - why go back? And Wonkru was fanatical for O - moreso than we’d seen them for Lexa who was basically Alexander The Great in Grounder society. Then them giving the Flame all these random powers that were never spoken of or used before made no sense. Sheidheda was horrible. He was such a nuisance because he didn’t feel like an actual villain. The crazy thing is: I thought the Primes were good. Really Good. They should’ve done some Time Dilation- the Primes had been there for more than 2 centuries. There was more than one city: feuds and whatnot. Give them a whole mythology. Then bringing the Flame back would’ve made more sense. Having Raven make another one and finding some way of storing already dead people in it could’ve been cool. We could’ve actually met all of the people we lost again. A triumvirate of Clarke, Raven, and Octavia…I would’ve loved to see it. Gabriel did not have to die. I liked the dude O ended up with at the end, but Gabriel was an interesting character. And he was over 200 years old - mentally.
Even Bardo wasn’t bad. They just didn’t do it right. The Judge trying to claim moral superiority? After watching all these races struggle and kill each other without lifting a finger? Yeah, ok. It being ambivalent would’ve made a lot more sense and been truer to the core of the series: nothing is black and white. Bellamy being converted made sense: Bellamy was always prone to stuff like that, he had never been on the other side of that(Wanheda, Heda, Blodreina), and he was in a state of extreme isolation for months with a fanatic at high risk of death. Yeah, indoctrination makes sense. Clarke killing him made sense - she was going to let her own mother die. Bellamy being ok with the high risk of Madi dying? That’s where it became unbelievable. And that’s another thing: they dropped the ball with Madi, Ethan, and Finalkru. They should’ve been fully adopted and accepted by them. Ethan should’ve been O’s Madi. They didn’t know how to handle children - even the ones they aged up. Keeping Monty, Harper, and Diyosza would’ve been better than having Jordan and Hope. Who was the second commander? It wasn’t Calliope. How did nightblood get bred out of the GP? Why wasn’t it selected for? Biologically we’d want to conserve as much energy, but metabolizing radiation at that seems like an advantage that wouldn’t have been selected against. Everyone on the earth would’ve needed it to leave the bunkers - they couldn’t have killed everyone with it for it to be selected against. The ending was alright, but I’m still not thrilled about it.😭

i do LOVE Murphy backing up Emori's request to live in the machine shop by telling Sheidheda that Emori is "your girl" if you need a mechanic because it is, such a good turnaround from the behavior that caused their breakup after s4 (cutting her down whenever she did mechanic stuff)

I didn't expect so much interaction with this post... but I'm glad I'm not the only one still feeling so strongly about the show's ending 🫣 The thing is... I actually restrained myself because there's just SO much wrong with how the 100 ended that I could talk about it forever, without ever repeating myself.
Anyway, on a more positive note, I found a fix-it that does pretty much everything that season 7 should've done. The general outline is the same as the one in season 7 (the anomaly, the stones connecting the planets, Sheidheda, Cadogan, the final test and "transcendence" etc), but the writer takes the plot and the characters in a direction that is much more true to the themes of the story, and explains the stones, the test and "transcendence" in a way that makes perfect sense with the previous lore of the show, and doesn't pull "it's aliens!" out of its ass like the show-writers did. It also has great character moments, cool and clever twists, and a bitter-sweet but incredibly satisfying ending!
The fic is called "It doesn't end here" and the writer is immortalpramheda on AO3. Here's the link for anyone who might be interested:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/28278900?view_full_work=true
I'm sharing because this fic really helped me after the atrocity that was season 7, and in my head I essentially replaced what happened in the show with this fic. This is my Canon. Hope this can help some of you as well! 🤗❤️
The 100 ended four years ago so I think I can confidently say that i'm forever going to be stuck between the denial phase and the anger phase. No accepting or moving on for me.
I mean for the most part I just pretend that season 7 never happened, like I block it out of my mind. But when I do remember it happened, I just get incredibly angry. And I know it's not healthy to still be this upset over a fictional show that ended in 2020, but I can't help it.
I think about how Bellamy was character assassinated and then killed off in the most brutal and stupid way possible, shot by CLARKE of all people, over a damn BOOK, that she didn't even take!!! I think about how he died all alone, without a chance of saying goodbye to any of his friends or his SISTER!!! I mean think about how crazy that is, Finn died but got to say goodbye to Clarke, Lexa died but got to say goodbye to Clarke not once but twice, Lincoln died but got to say goodbye to Octavia, Jasper died but got to say goodbye to Monty, Kane died but got to say goodbye to Abby and Indra, and Bellamy??? The male lead of the show Bellamy??? He dies and he doesn't even get to say goodbye to OCTAVIA??? The Blakes don't even get a proper final scene together??? And I get angry.
I think about how Clarke, the main lead of the show, was cast aside for half the season and then also character assassinated, turned into a selfish vindictive cold-blooded person who never learns from her mistakes and suddenly doesn't care about being the good guy or doing the right thing... even though the entire point of her character arc was that she was fundamentally a good person, selfless, altruistic and empathetic, who was forced into impossible moral dilemmas. But she never stopped caring!!! Making these impossible choices never got easier for her!!! Because she was good!!! But suddenly in season 7 she was turned into everything that Clarke antis accused her of being. And what's Jason's excuse for this? "Oh, well, if you think about it she was never the hero... she was doing awful things early on in the show, just against people we didn't care about like Mount Weather... In season 7 we put the audience in Mount Weather's shoes"... excuse me???? As if Clarke didn't try literally everything in her power to get her people back, without having to harm/kill the people in Mount Weather??? As if Clarke didn't decide to pull the lever only when she saw her own mother and her friends being strapped to a table to be tortured and killed for their bone marrow??? As if Clarke didn't feel distraught over what she had to do, to the point that she felt like she had to leave her people and be on her own in the woods for months??? As if she didn't have nightmares??? As if she didn't feel guilt and regret over Mount Weather and Maya up to freaking season 6??? And I get angry.
I think about how Bellarke, whether romantic, platonic or something in between, was the MAIN relationship of the show, with the most development and screen time. And that relationship was absolutely destroyed in the most contrived, spiteful way possible!!!! Jason had to character assassinate both Bellamy and Clarke to make it happen. That's how resentful of Bellarke and Bellarke shippers he was. Even though he was the freaking show runner!!! He had the power of writing Bellarke platonically from day one!!! But Bob and Eliza confirmed that they were told that Bellarke was romantic in nature, and that's how they performed it!!! Jason was the one who wrote 2x16 and 4x13, arguably two of the most important episodes for Bellarke... he came up with together!!! He took the head and the heart from the fans and put it in the show!!! He wrote Clarke calling Bellamy every day for 2,199 days!!! No one forced him to do that!!! But he did, and for what??? For Clarke to shoot Bellamy in the end and kill him??? Even if he didn't want to make them canon for whatever reason, he could've still written an ending that was respectful of their friendship and history in the show. But no!!! He had to destroy everything that made Bellarke what it was. And I get angry.
I think about how Octavia spent YEARS trying to get back to Bellamy, to see him again and tell him how much she loves him... And then in the second half of season 7, she just gives up on him??? She doesn't even TRY to understand what happened to him on Etherea, she doesn't talk to him, when Bellamy visits her and Clarke she just stands there with a disappointed face and doesn't say a word. And then when Clarke tells her that she killed Bellamy, she just hugs her and tells her that she understands??? And so would the old Bellamy???? The 'old Bellamy' she didn't even TRY to get back, the 'old Bellamy' she simply gave up on??? Literally every character from Octavia to Clarke to Raven to Murphy to Miller to Echo, had to be character assassinated so that Bellamy could die the way he did. Because none of them would've given up on him!!! They all loved Bellamy!!! He was the 'dad' of the deliquents and then the leader of Skaikru on the ring. But suddenly nobody cares about him, nobody tries to understand what happened to him or tries to change his mind, not even his SISTER!!! AND I GET ANGRY.
I think about how the message of season 3 was that 'pain means that you're alive' and 'you don't ease pain, you overcome it', and how it is better to live in an imperfect world than a perfect simulation. And then in season 7 there's Transcendence which is basically the City of Light 2.0, an immortal hive mind where there's no pain and no death. Just "peace" for eternity. But suddenly THIS hive mind is okay... because? Because the Judge and the other aliens (putting aside how ridiculous it is to introduce ALIENS in your show in the very last episode) are fair while A.L.I.E wasn't? There's nothing 'fair' about deciding which species is worthy of Transcendence and which isn't. Especially since the punishment for not passing the test is MASS GENOCIDE. And yet the Judge is portrayed as 'good' and 'fair' while A.L.I.E. was the one actually trying to ensure the survival of the human race!!! And don't get me wrong, A.L.I.E. was evil but in her methods, her motivs were actually morally sound compared to the Judge and the rest of the aliens. They only did what they did because they believed that they were morally superior to all other species, and if one species wasn't 'good' enough according to their moral standards, that meant that they deserved extinction!!!! "But at least with Transcendence you can choose whether you want to transcend or not, A.L.I.E. didn't give you a choice" bullshit!!! If you "choose" not to transcend, the aliens still take away your chance to procreate and have kids from you!!! They make you infirtile against your will!!! Your species still dies with you and your friends!!!! Why? Because some aliens said so!!! And that's supposed to be an happy ending??? Just because all the characters are smiling and hugging, it doesn't make this ending any less horrific once you think about it for like two seconds. And I get angry.
And finally I think about how the entire message of the show was NOT survival like Jason claims, but how 'life should be more than just surviving'. How 'life can be more than impossible choices and a tragic end'. How humans can 'be the good guys' and break the cycle of war and violence and tribalism. And in the end none of that mattered. Humans kept fighting each other up until the last episode and only stopped because they were being 'tested'. They got absorbed into a hive mind and they're going to be stuck there for all eternity, no lesson learned, no real peace gained. Our main characters, that we've followed for seven seasons, are going to eventually die, leaving nothing or no one behind. All the sacrifices, all the impossible choices they've made... completely meaningless, since the 'survival' of the human race was never up to them building a better world and society after all, it was always up to the morally superior aliens. I think about how they got to survive, but they didn't get to live. And I get angry... because I really loved this show and these characters so much... and they just... they deserved better. They really did.

Started the 7th season of The 100. Very interested in the stuff with the Anomaly and Bardo...less interested in Sheidheda. Really wish they'd left that character in season 6. Worst villain in this whole show. He's so one note and uninteresting.

It's ok girl, season 7 never happened. Bellamy, Gabriel and Diyoza never died, Madi didn't end up paralysed, Murphy's storyline didn't suck, Sheidheda didn't explode, Gaia wasn't useless, Raven didn't get a disgusting storyline, there were no stupid alien gods, no time travel, no one transcended, Callie didn't make up trig when she was fucking 12, Cadogan was just a long-dead cult leader, Bardo was just another inhabitable planet, everyone is living in peace on Sanctum and they're not even dressed in those hideous Sanctum rags but have nice clothes, yeah that's it

ROFLMAO God? What god? Oh, you mean the alien from the last episode? I don't think even jroth, the showrunner, wouldn't be able to explain it. 🤣 So, have you explained it to her?
In s5, Wonkru ate each other in a bunker for a year, cause they fucked up the hidro farm and had no other food. The Ring from s4/5 is the remnant of the Ark in space. ALIE is artificial intelligence made by Becca Franco or as Grounders call her Bekka Pramheda, the first commander. And it's responsible for starting WWIII and killing most of humanity. Madi has Lexa's memories because she had a Flame with Lexa's (and all previous commanders' memories) and when Sheidheda wanted to kill her, they burned the chip and pulled it out of her head. But some side effects remained - memories of commanders remained, not just from lexa, but also way back to Becca.
Enough?
You don't need to hide *spoilers* here, all of us watched it already (several times).
I’m trying to explain the whole plot of The 100 to my friend and I’m beginning to realize how wild this show is.
