Never heard of a sphere, but they should have found a really nice space ball.

Grounder language going from "a natural-seeming devolution of language following a nuclear holocaust" to "lol you're speaking the language my 10 year old daughter made up" is midichlorians level dumb. Otherwise I am enjoying this season as always.

I buy it as a good retcon because I remember in S1 thinking 100 years was way to short a time for language to change that much, and it was dumb and if they wanted to have a massive language shift they should have expanded the timeline to like 500 years or something. Even assuming lifespans were shortened by radiation and hard living, a kid born 20 years after 2052 who lived to be 40 would have been raised by an English speaking Prewar survivor and would have been known by an older Grounder like Indra. Not enough time for a massive language degeneration.

For some reason, I had it in my head that they started talking like that to keep secrets from Mt Weather. Also, I wonder if the initial meeting with Mt Weather is going to show up in the spin-off.

Interestingly, in reading more about it, the creator of the language has some thoughts which I guess do align with the "a seemingly random person pushed a language through a group": https://dedalvs.tumblr.com/post/104195916604/im-confused-about-the-grounder-language-in-the quote:The last piece of the puzzle is a bit of fiction we concocted. Given that we’re in a small geographical area, there are features that are present in the modern language that are a direct result of conscious change on the part of early speakers. In the chaos that prevailed in the early days, there were direct innovations created so that survivors could determine if someone new they came across was one of them or wasn’t. Those that organized early developed vocabulary that would allow them to easily identify other group members—in addition to being able to communicate with group members without giving away what they were talking about. It was basically a code. Many of these old code words eventually became the new words for what they referred to—defeating the original purpose of the code, of course, but by then it no longer mattered. The fittest had survived.

Echo said 'we're being watched all the time' right before starting on the path to (seemingly) accepting the Disciples' indoctrination, so it seems likely she realized there was no other way out and they had to go along with the whole thing. What I'm not sure about is whether the rest of them are in on it as well, especially Hope. That was a really dumb mistake by Indra though, to leave Sheidheda with all those people. Nothing like her too, if she wanted to kill him she should have pulled the trigger herself.

When she shut the door I knew he would either kill them all or convert them She spent so much effort dictating nobody could speak to him then left him alone with 50 or 60 people who had already revolted against her?

"We're gonna kill them. All of them  "Jordan owns. Continuing to believe in non violence. Monty raised him well. So it seems like that the final code or whatever is a test for the best of your species. Succeed and you go to paradise or whatever, fail and something comes to wipe you out.

Pure speculation and really I hope I am wrong: Clarke or whoever goes to take the Final Test, representing the best of humanity. But then it turns out Bellamy did because he didn't die but was blown into that dimension or whatever. That would be extremely hosed up considering the accusations against him. Basically I am just waiting for the actual reveal of what happened to Bellamy but maybe it will be that he's dead. That would be great. No fanfare or send off, just dead.

His whole thing was just chock full of fake out tags. Like not actually seeing him die and especially there being no body. Also maybe it was just me but the big fight scene between Indra and Malachi/Sheidheda seemed really weird, like it got filmed by a completely different crew than normal.

JR Bourne is crushing this but he looked so much more evil and menacing with that beard. Edit: John Murphy is the only one who can complete the test. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Aug 8, 2020 |

That scene where he was talking to Madi completely covered in blood made him look very sinister. He has a very evil grin.

It was kind of weird that Jonathan Scarfe showed up for a single scene when Bellamy "died." He's not listed for additional episodes, kind of a waste of a fun actor.

I hope so but he's not listed as appearing in any more. I assume the 100 and Van Helsing shoot on the same lots what with all the cast crossovers.

IMDB is updated by fans, agents and Jim Beaver. It's rarely useful about anything that's not out yet, and it's sometimes wrong about things that have come out. I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Bellamy's mom's ghost sure is determined because its been a WHILE since she was alive. Something that struck me this episode is how the final season has had very little of Bellamy or Clarke.

I do think that the Bellamy stuff would have worked better spread out over some episodes. Put in on during the same episodes that they were doing the brainwashing for Echo and pals.

Yeah, I don't know how I would have done it better, but the pacing is pretty whack, especially because no one in the world thought he was dead. I do really like that he turned though. A really good contrast against the other guys lying about turning.

From the wiki:quote:Becca landed not far from the Second Dawn Bunker in the rubble of a city which would later become Polis. She was met by several cult members wearing hazmat suits. Becca subsequently used A.L.I.E. 2.0, which she renamed the Flame, to activate the Temporal Anomaly to Bardo for Bill Cadogan, but discovered "the final code" which led to what Becca called Judgment Day, the true end of the human race. Unwilling to give up the code, Becca was burned at the stake by the cult on the orders of Cadogan to get the Flame, but she revealed the Flame's power to Callie Cadogan. Having gathered a following of her own and taken Becca's Nightblood, Callie retrieved the Flame and led her people back into the world to continue Becca's work to save the human race.

Children of Gabriel. They really didn't do much over their 2 seasons huh. Skullthrone is pretty  . I love that Russellheda immediately called their bluff about blowing the reactor.I was just about to complain that they needed to merge the plotlines.

Did anyone in Sheidheda's crew even know that's what the Space Ball was for? Everyone who had a clue was dead or in hiding, right?
