#the100 season 5

[float-me-now]

I recently discovered your blog through your Yellowstone posts and can I just say it is so nice to see a fellow Jamie lover. I just recently disengaged from a couple of posts I made on Reddit about Jamie and oh boy does any criticism of Beth rankle people lol. I don't know if you are still interested in the show or if you are planning on watching the new season but I just wanted to say it was nice to see someone who also loves Jamie

Hi Anon (and fellow Jamie fan)!

Always nice to see someone giving some love to our favourite dumbass lawyer <3

The short answer is no, I am not planning on watching the last season and I haven’t even finished the first part of season 5.

This show has become too much™️ for me. I have sat through the last two disastrous seasons of The100 (my favourite show) out of sheer willpower and love for most of the characters, but Yellowstone is on a whole other level of bad writing. Other than being bad, the writing is constantly trying to force a narrative that is completely different from what we actually see onscreen. 

Some examples:

the continuous and ridiculous glorification of Beth’s character, who becomes more and more cartoonishly stupid, Karen-like and evil with every passing season, yet they insist with the “badass unstoppable woman” bs. No, sweetheart, acting randomnly mean and vicious to people does not equal being strong.

the sheer and utter nonsense they push down viewers’ throats to justify a bunch of storylines that have zero sense or coherence (the whole ‘Jamie is selfish’ shtick is a prime example of this. He’s spent his entire life serving John and the ranch and yet we’re supposed to believe he’s the selfish one lol. Kayce going berserk and killing John’s supposed assailants in the middle of the street with zero repercussions is a close second, wtf)

John being an absolute shit person, a horrible father and a disgustingly corrupted and self-serving governor, yet everyone adores him and he’s constantly depicted as a great man, saviour of the poor oppressed white landowners (LOL!)

the not-so-subtle conservative themes they slip in (protecting ‘things as they are’, John’s supposed macho charisma, adopted children not being ‘real family’, Kayce’s glorified random violence which is always somehow justified, all the Summer slander and the hate she and her ideas get onscreen just because she’s a vegan and ACTUALLY loves animals contrary to John & co and so she’s depicted as a “woke” spoiled idiot etc)

As a viewer, it really irks me when they try to manipulate my opinions and assume I have zero capacity of deciding if what I am watching makes sense. 

It’s frustrating because this series had a lot of potential and a lot of nice characters (Jamie, Kayce, the Native Americans, the bunkhouse boys and even *Beth* could have been interesting if they had actually tried to give her some depth other than “I am strong because I can be a c*nt to anyone with zero consequences”) and they chose to throw all of this away.

Forgive me for ranting, but you really touched a sore spot here hehe

With all that being said, I don’t think I’ll ever resume watching Yellowstone (it’s the FIRST show ever I am dropping! Sad) but I guess I will follow what happens through people's posts here.

I hope you will enjoy the last season if you watch it and you are super welcome to share all the good Jamie content you like here, I’ll be more than glad to reblog it :D

Thanks for your ask, it was really nice to interact with another Jamie fan :))

One thing I noticed is that when a ship has two white characters/actors and gains a huge fanbase the writers/producers will find a way to shoehorn a random romance/sex scene.

Even if the writers don’t care much for the ship or didn’t intend for the ship to become popular. We seen it with Klaroline how they got their hookup in the woods and then a reunion on The Originals. We seen it with Reylo. There was zero romantic indication between those two characters in TFA but the fandom of course can’t help but ship a white villain with the white heroine so Rian Johnson basically made TLJ a bad Reylo fanfic. And ROS shoehorned that kiss.

But then when it comes to a ship that has a person of color especially if they are not white passing then the ship doesn’t even get crumbs, at most the writers will just fanbait. Bellark from The100 is a perfect example of this. (Spoiler alert) That ship had a huge following but the writers didn’t budge.

I don’t ship Bamon at all but I have no doubt Bonnie and Damon would’ve hooked up if Bonnie was white. Bonkai would’ve had hate-sex, and Kai would’ve called Bonnie beautiful and danced with Bonnie at the wedding. Enzo would’ve pursued Bonnie since season 5 etc. i could go on here.

There are so many other instances of white ships getting fan-serviced by writers while a ship that has a Black character or POC could have the same dynamic as a white ship but the writers would refuse to go there.

If Rey was Black or a woc would Reylo have happened? Would Reylo even have become a popular ship? I read somewhere that if Zendaya was white, people would’ve been crackshipping her and Andrew/Peter.

Smh.

This is sooooo true! I literally have nothing to add.

Foreshadowing in the 100

I’m so sorry to anyone who reads this😬

I finally got to watch the last two seasons after them not being available in my country and after watching that I went back and watched season ones first episode again. I noticed some interesting foreshadowing that has led me to come to the unhinged conclusion that the writers knew where the show was going all along. I will explain below😵‍💫

So the first thing I saw as the episode started was Clarke’s drawing of a scorpion. Now stay with me on this one. In season 7 when Bellamy is on the mountain with Doucette, he eats a scorpion right before the scene where he prays and sees the shepherd. I personally believe that his vision was actually a scorpion venom induced hallucination, and the shepherd appearing was down to Bellamy only having a photo of the shepherd and his book to occupy his mind for months. Which brings me back to Clarke’s drawing in episode one. That scorpion foreshadows Bellamy’s death. (Making it a tiny bit more bearable more me.)

My next point is regarding Octavia’s line to Fin. “Rescue me next.” Yeesh. This just takes my mind straight to when he goes to rescue Clarke and massacres an innocent village.

This one’s a bit silly but Clarkes face when Octavia strips off was the shows way of hinting to us early about her being into girls. She flat out just stands there drooling for a second before going back to default Clarke mode.

The next two are both about Jasper….Monty says “note to self: next time save the girl.” While patting Jasper on the shoulder….Now I know the shoulder pat was a way of saying well done but I couldn’t help but think yikes, next time he does not save the girl…..

Then when Jasper is about to jump the rope Fin says. “I knew there was a badass in there somewhere…it’s okay to be afraid Jasper the trick is not fighting it.”

Then Jasper replies with “see you on the other side.” And yes I’m totally aware this is probably the100 trauma but that whole exchange just encapsulates what Jasper becomes. The see you on the other side cut deep.

Finally, we have the final line of the episode. “We’re not alone.” A classic line in media that usually references aliens. After watching the last two seasons, i cannot see this line as anything but foreshadowing for the discovery of aliens and eventual becoming of aliens.

The end conclusion of this messay is that I will forever remain delusional rather than admit the ending was bad. Despite the bullet holes on the Mount Weather sign showing that the writers weren’t fully committed to the ALIE setting off the bombs storyline meaning that they couldn’t have planned the whole story from the start, I will choose to ignore that.

Side note: I am very traumatised after finishing this show 💀 I should have stopped at season 5 like the streaming services wanted me to.

My thoughts as I’m watching 24 seasons of law & order svu:

Season 5

Loved how Elliot was portrayed in 5x06. Yes, he made a mistake. But he recognized it and then tried to fix it. Prefer that to characters who are either just perfect or never learn.

Mariska getting to act with her dad in 5x09 was pretty cool. The partnership of Benson and Stabler was great that whole episode. Especially showed how well he knew her. For example, when she couldn‘t arrest Hilary, so he took over. Miniscule moment, but you can see it in their body language.

The interrogation in 5x13 shows a lot of dynamics. Especially, Benson and Stablers silent understanding of each other. You can see the exact moment that they change tactics. They do it at the same time, and he just gives her a small nod and she steps back. And then Fin comes in for the kill. Beautifully executed by the actors.

Andy Abbot reading himself his Miranda rights in 5x20 is exactly what I do in my head, when someone tells me something, I tell other people on a daily basis.

Could be my lack of sleep talking, but the fake argument between Stabler and Benson in 5x23 is just really funny to me.

Familiar faces: Mare Winningham (Susan, Grey‘s), Susanna Thompson (Hollis, NCIS), Marisol Nichols (24), Josh Hopkins (Cougar Town/Whiskey Cavalier!), Andre Royo (Fringe), Daphne Zuniga (OTH), Milo Ventimiglia (Jess, Gilmore Girls), Serena Williams, Gary Cole (NCIS), Barry Bostwick (Spin City), Michael Emerson (Person of Interest), Jane Seymour, Arielle Kebbel (9-1-1), Blair Brown (Fringe), Cress Williams (Tucker, Grey‘s), Marcia Jean Kurtz (In Her Shoes), Michael Beach (The100), Marlee Matlin (Switched at Birth) and Chris Potter (The Good Witch)

Favorite Episodes: 5x04, 5x06, 5x09, 5x17 and 5x24

Favorite lines: “I was just trying to help her up.” “With your penis?”- Benson 5x03

“Lady, I’ve got four kids, if I ever talked to one of them like that, I’d arrest myself.” - Stabler 5x03

About whether he thinks Benson killed a man: „I know you didn‘t. You’d have shot the bastard.“ - Stabler 5x09

"Well, the outfit's a crime, but it's not a match." - Cragen 5x25

Happy belated BFSN and happy 10th anniversary of The100!

Thank y'all for tagging me! Although these first 3 months of 2024 had been and still are really tough in many ways for me, my family, some of my dearest friends and even for some of my collagues in terms of losses and illnesses, i thought it's only propriate to celebrate this BFSN and the anniversary of our beloved show with a few words. I'm very busy, so i can relate to some of you very well. There's so many things to do or to get ready that sometimes it seems overwhelming for me. And the emotional mess i'm feeling right now is not supportive... But i have to admit there's a smile on my face while i'm typing these lines. It's a wonderful occasion and opportunity to hug y'all in mind again and to say thank you to a very kind and lovely fandom, that welcomed me back in 2016! I hadn't been around when the 1st season aired, i joined the fandom during the controversial S3. But i have WATCHED the first season first, bc i got a recommendation from my best friend to watch that show back then. And so i watched it first on stream or on dvd or something like that. But i remember that it was THAT scene above, that particular man and THIS thousand-dollar-smile that catched me and kept me watching. I fell in love so hard. lol

Then all these other characters began to fascinate me as well and soon i was reaaally engaged in a certain ship called Bellarke. ;) I think it was around the time of me watching the first season, that i also read the books from Kass Morgan. (Thus my absolute disappointment about the route they (JRottentomatoe) took with Bellarke... (At least they're canon in the novels... ) The story itself, especially over the course of the first 4 (and a bit of 5) seasons was so intriguing and well thought through! I LOVED it! (Although i absolutely despise the time jump. The 2199 radio calls are a plus, but since it didn't lead to anything it was very unnecessary imo. It ruined so many things for me. In my opinion Bellarke should've become canon at the end of S4. Period.)

Despite the fact that especially that mess of a last season (that does not exist for me) robbed us of so many things and negated the very core story the show provided us with for 6 years i keep loving it for especially the first seasons of the series. And i will continue to love and to recommendate it to everyone (just not that damn last season).

Thanks again and again for letting me join and for sharing all the awesome (and even the not so very awesome...) moments, scenes, story arcs, characters and their relationships and the discussions after every episode on here. It was a blast (well, mostly, but that is not your fault of course ;)!

Oh and thank you for reminding me of the anniversary! There's SO MUCH going on in my RL at the moment... But none of it is so very positive like this occasion and you people on here.

Lots of love! And happy beginning of the spring! May the rest of the year be kinder to us. God, please...

(Please continue to be so creative! I still love to scroll through my dash and see your edits and words, although i may be not on here very often anymore! (Sometimes it's one of the very few things that keep me sane and positive. Looking at you, Clarke. ;) <3<3<3))

See you on the other side! Always! Anne

Happy Bfsn !

Today marks 10 years since The 100 first aired, so here's one of my favorite images of Bellamy and Clarke in episode 1. If you can, please feel free to add to this post to celebrate the anniversary. I'm just very sad I didn't have time to make a gif for the occasion…

The sun started to shine today, and so much the better, because with all the work I have to do, my morale is at half-mast. I'm also thinking of all those for whom everything is complicated at the moment.

Bellarke First kiss

Description: This is how I hope their first kiss will go down. I based it off of real possibilities based on the episodes so far this season and some teases from the cast & crew.

Clarke says to the room filled with Octavia and a few of her people, Bellamy and his space crew and Madi clung to her side staring at Octavia in admiration, “Eden is Madi and I’s home, there isn’t anywhere else we can survive. I am not handing it over to them, but I am not going to get ourselves killed either. We need to find a way to reason with them to share the land. There are only so many humans left on earth do we really want to risk extinction?” Bellamy looks at her nodding in agreement, but Octavia however is not pleased. She has the same emotionless expression on her face, but anger is slowing beginning to show she replies, “No the only way to ensure that our people survive is to take it back. They show no hesitation to fire missiles against us, we have to be willing to go to war or we are all dead.” Bellamy moves toward Octavia causing some of her people to tighten their grips on their guns. He stops his movement and speaks instead, “Octavia, Clarkes’ right-” She help up a hand and cut him off, “Stop we are leaving at nightfall, so they can’t see us. Only the strong can handle the journey, so if you aren’t up for it big brother, maybe you should stay behind.” With that she walks out the room followed by the rest of her people. Indra, however, stays behind and walks over to Clarke. She tells her in a low voice, “Please, try to reason with her. She won’t listen to me.” She looks to Bellamy whose eyes are still fixated on Clarke and continues, “Both of you.” He gives Indra a nod still looking to Clarke as Indra leaves to follow Octavia. Clarke then walks over to Bellamy grabbing Madi’s hand to pull her with. She says to him, “I’ll talk to her, but I’m guessing you are the only one that can get through to her.” She half smiles at him, but it quickly fades into a frown as she glances towards Echo standing too close behind him. Her face sinks, but she forces a smile before looking at Bellamy again giving him a nod and walks out pulling Madi along with.

Bellamy turns around almost forgetting Echo was right behind him forcing a slight jump in his body only noticeable by him. The rest of his crew walk out behind Clarke, but Echo stays with Bellamy. She sighs and says, “I know we said things weren’t going to change when we got down to the ground, but you also said that before you knew Clarke was alive.” He looked stunned for a moment and replies, “Why would that change anything for us?” She shakes her head as a pity smile grows on her face and answers, “Bellamy, I see the way you look at her.” He shakes his head, but she doesn’t let him respond, “It’s okay, we knew things would be difficult with Octavia, but now that Clarke is alive… She has always been your top priority whether you know it or not.” He still looks confused, but doesn’t have the words to disagree with her. She laughs and looks down at his feet for a second. She looks back up at his confused face, places her hand on one cheek and plants a kiss on the other. She says, “I do love you, Bellamy, but I need someone who can make me a priority. I will always fight with you no matter what.” With that she leaves the room leaving him to figure out what just happened. He starts to think about what she said and whether or not it has any truth to it. He stumbles outside lost in thought as Madi approaches him and says, “Have you seen Octavia?” He gives a shake of his head to bring himself into reality and replies, “No, what’s your obsession with Octavia anyways?” He smiles at her with curiosity. She replies, “Clarke told me stories, she's my favorite. She’s so strong and brave I want to be just like her.” He laughs and replies, “She is one of the strongest people I know, but you must be careful Madi she’s not the same person in the stories Clarke told you.” She says, “Yeah, no offense to you or anything. Although I think you are Clarke’s favorite.” He is taken aback and says, “Clarke doesn’t have a favorite, she cares for us all.” She makes a tut noise and gives him a look as if to say ‘oh, please’ and says, “Then how come she radioed you everyday for six years?” He looks stunned and replies, “She did what?” Madi unsure if she was suppose to share that information said, “Clarke didn’t tell you? I mean how could you not know how she feels? The way she talked about you made it seem like you were more than just friends. I mean she drew all those picture of you too.” Bellamy stunned by the information replies, “What?” Madi really thinking she shared too much now says, “I’m going to go find Octavia now, bye!” She runs off around the corner leaving Bellamy to figure out the pieces of the puzzle that have been in front of him for years. He is lost in thought going over each interaction he has had with Clarke. Thinking about the moment he left her on Earth and the heartache he has never felt before when he thought she was dead. Echo was right the connection they have is strong. He thinks to himself, now the question is Bellamy, what are you going to do about it?

He notices his feet are moving him somewhere, but they have to specific path he turns a corner and runs directly into Clarke. They both laugh quietly and she moves to go around him, but he grabs her arm to keep her there. She is confused by the intensity in his face and says to him, “What is it?” He replies so sincerely, “Why didn’t you tell me you talked to me everyday over those six years?” Color starts to spread across her cheeks embarrassed that he knows. She shakes her head looking away, “I had to. You were the only thing keeping me sane. Reminding me of who I am.” She looks into his intense eyes, but looks away quickly and says before he can reply, “It doesn’t matter though. You’re with Echo.” He touches the bottom of her chin with his finger and pulls her head up to meet her eyes with his own and says, “Even she can see the the connection we have.” Her eyebrows furrow from the words coming out of his mouth. He continues, “Clarke I knew from the moment you stopped me from opening the door to the dropship that you were trouble.” He smiles at her and she finally smiles in return at the thought. He says, “When I thought you were dead, that was a pain I didn’t even know I could feel, but I had to be strong to survive. I had to find love to attempt be happy, but now that you’re alive it’s impossible to be with anyone else. It wouldn’t be fair to her.” Her face turns serious again and she looks away from him unable to look him in the eyes when she says, “We can’t, Bellamy. We just don’t make sense. We don’t always see eye to eye.” He shakes his head looking up at the sky briefly, but then looks at her with loving frustration placing a hand on her cheek as his fingers tangle in her hair to pull her gaze back to his and says, “Dammit Clarke, for once can you think with your heart! What is your heart telling you?” She looks at him unsure if she should let her heart have a say after it’s been broken so many times. The silence is unbearable for Bellamy he looks at her hoping she feels the same when she finally replies, “Same as yours.” A smile grows on his gorgeous face as he wraps her up in his arms spinning her around once. She giggles into his neck with her arms wrapped around his neck. When he puts her back on the ground his face is back to that same intensity as before but with a slight sadness and says, “I can’t lose you again.” She grabs onto his face with both of her hands pulling herself closer to him and says, “You never have to go through that again. If I’ve learned anything it’s that you can’t get rid of me that easy.” He laughs reluctantly and says, “That’s not funny.” He is suddenly very aware of her hands pulling slightly on his long hair as if trying to inch closer to him. He places his hands on the small of her back causing a shiver to run through her body. Her eyes dart from his eyes to his lips. He wets them in response and looks at hers as she bits her own. He says in a quiet raspy voice, “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for you.” She smiles and replies, “I think I have a pretty good idea.” He has had enough of the distance between them and pulls her towards him as their lips finally meet, electricity surging through them from the touch. Madi pops around the corner not surprised at all by what is happening and says, “I told you, you’re her favorite.” They break apart to turn and look at Madi. They both laugh as their foreheads gravitate towards each other sinking into each others touch. Madi continues, “Come on love birds Octavia wants to speak to you both.” Bellamy takes one of Clarke’s hands in his and they turn to follow Madi as they give each other a smile and Clarke leans into his arm. He places a kiss on the top of her head and whispers “The head and the heart.” She smiles placing a kiss on his cheek and says back, “The head and the heart.”
