That is the saddest about Lexa alone abandoned on the chip and they probs wont remember it next year either but they still find ways to bait now we got a baby Lexa clone! like that is ALL that was good about this finale.

That was an interesting and highly unlikely turn of events, wasn’t it – what are the odds that Clarke would find (where?) a small child who just happens to be a Nightblood (with brown hair and green eyes no less)?  And they now just happen to live in the one remaining bit of forest left on the planet – after the entire planet erupted in fire? Something survived.  A forest.  The rover.  A kid.  Clarke’s eyeliner.   

If a Nightblood can survive being burned alive by radiation that would melt anyone else in seconds – shame it couldn’t heal a body hit in a non-vital area by a bullet, eh?  

Mum Clarke and her Lexa clone kid – no, they weren’t baiting anyone with that. They weren’t reading all that Clexa family fan fiction. Nope.  No way. 

If the Flame makes an appearance next year, any bet it will go to the Lexa clone (any other bet we find out she’s Lexa’s niece or something)?  No, that’s just too much.  

‘The time of the Commanders and the Flame is over.’  

Now put on the Commander’s kit and don’t forget to speak Trig.

Here’s your season 5 spoilers for the tloo:

  • Commander Octavia introduces a new generation of skygrounders: technically adept and literate – except they only had some Archie comics, so prepare for the Riverdale crossover!
  • Abby emerges with a fauxhawk and a facial tattoo.  She no longer speaks English.
  • Niylah is mute because she just can’t, anymore.
  • Clarke, aka Lexa, teaches Madi, aka Aden, about compassion, strength and wisdom and how to live off of magical plants and not be genocidal for five minutes.  Good times.  And then everybody shows up again.  ‘Mum, they’re noisy!’ 
  • Raven and Co haven’t changed a bit.  They did figure out how to make Echo – I mean soylent green – last five years, though.  
  • Lexa, the last True Commander, long dead, long forgotten, forever alone on her little chip, still stuck in that little tin, abandoned on a dusty corner somewhere in the nether regions of the bunker:

Any predictions for tonight’s episode? I hate to say I’m hoping Clarke dies but I can’t see her on this show anymore. I DO NOT want to see Octavia as the Commander. You were right about her hero arch but its so so wrong.

No predictions.  Whatever happens will likely further reinforce the white saviour/superior colonialist end of the narrative, rushed along instead of completely thought out and considered for what it is, with more of the Sky people surviving than expected while the ‘grounders’ continue to sink into the background of their own lives, their own history and future usurped. Whatever they were, subsumed into a collective that favours the needs/wants/techno superiority of Jaha’s people, versus their own.    

I guess that is a prediction: the grounders are no more.  

I like reading about the tears of CW and WB, :D. I hope the finale just hits the ground as hard as the dropship did, :D. What a horrible waste of potential, :D.

commanderlexaofthegrounders:

Nice analogy Anon. You got a 💯

All that potential went to the trash the moment Jatan thought the AI plot was a brilliant idea. No wonder his new pilot flopped even harder. His ideas are really bad.

The AI ‘idea’ wasn’t even his – he’d been hired to write a script for a remake of the film Colossus: The Forbin Project – a story about an AI that takes over the world – he was kicked off that project and it looks like he just applied the AI to the Kass Morgan stories.  There’s nothing original in any of it.

i’ll bet anything that there’s a 5 year jump at the end of the finale, and this is Clarke, who stayed behind, seeing the delinquents come back down from space. 

This definitely seems to make sense with that picture

but man I really hope that’s not what happens

that’s a terrible way to end the season

not even just her being separated from the rest of them, I literally mean ending it with their reunion is a lot dumber than waiting to show that until next season?? it makes a lot more story sense to hold off on that, and leave us with them parting rather than end right as they reunite

Plus if there is a death fire gas crazy wave of shit headed their way, that foliage is quite mature for only 5 years. Wouldn’t it at burn up? Although I’m not sure what else Clarkey could be up to in that scene if she wasn’t on Earth..

Wait for it – she looks horrified because she’s watching the rest of the Ark come crashing down to Earth, only this time it lands in the ocean….and she remembers that none of them ever learned how to swim.

Oh boo I want to make so many Jaha bunker memes right now. I’m still cracking up. YOU’LL PRY THIS BUNKER FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS. And Clarke apologizing to Bloopy AGAIN such romance I’m alive all of a sudden we need Sister Sledge on the soundtrack. back me up on this one.

I’m still awestruck that they killed Lexa over the reveal of an object they did absolutely nothing with – and have now conveniently forgotten.

There was a shining moment, we did agree: Murphy calling Bellend out for having secured a place due to his sister being the new ‘queen of the grounders’ (he’s hardly essential personnel).  The scene with Clarke in the rover, where she once again plays this meek version of herself that is always apologising while he acts like he can judge her, and arrogantly declares his worth even though he helped murder 300 of the people he feels superior to and Clarke has never called him out for this act that led to Lexa’s death, I just…you’re right. It’s true love.  

Now we’ll have the white saviour scenario played out with Octavia becoming the actual Commander – no surprise – and equally awful that they’ve put her in Lexa’s kit.  With Jaha (and Bellend) looking like they could survive to a happily ever after in series 5, their crimes forgotten and never paid for – the discomfort of the show’s narrative is almost overwhelming.  

I did not find this bunker so the people I have declared invalid, who descended from those who survived in it, and have a rightful claim to it, can just take it from me!

This looks like a godly painting tbh

Isn’t it though?

I always have a laugh seeing this – since it’s over ADC’s shoulder, there’s no actual snogging going on, but you can tell ET must have been having fun messing with her for the shot (watch her right hand and her feet under the blanket).

 I can picture the director growing frustrated and deciding this was the best take they were going to get.  🙂  

jalehh:

thedoctor-smith:

I’m awake and dying – just to ask – where the hell does the electricity come from?

Becca’s lab/home – now the bunker under Polis.  They had one day to move in all those beds, furniture, computers, etc – and set up a generator?  From where?  How?  What powers it?  

And what are they planning on eating for five years?  

If the ‘radiation deathwave’ can knock over the pyramids and turn people to ash, what will it do to the local plant and animal life?  When they emerge from their bunker – what do they expect to eat?  How will crops grow again?  

I know the characters had no time to plan, but the writers did.  This is what they come up with?

Well either they have some magical batteries, or magical geothermal power plant inside (still functioning after 100 years) and I suppose their stocks have the magical properties too. 

As for that deathwave.. LMAO I don’t watch the show so I have no clue when that’s so supposed to happen (or if it is already happening) and how they know about it, but LOL. If it has the power to knock over the pyramids that wave should’ve been around the globe the xth time by now. Because it must be quite speedy. 

And yeah nuclear winter (cooling due to particles in the air) is a thing… and with that kind of planetary wave I’d suspect it might last a few hundred years. In either case that bunker only prolongs the inevitable. 
Side note: The very valid nuclear winter scare was a big reason USSR and USA began disarmament talks back in the early 80s. Because that is when computer where able to do the first global

weather and climate simulations and didn’t limit the repercussions of a nuclear blast to a single one but computed thousands of blasts.  (BBC docu from 1984)

There’s no science in that show. Only magic. 

It really depresses me when details like this go out the window.  I don’t understand how you can expect to be taken seriously, or expect your series to have longevity if it doesn’t bother to cover the basics.  

It is a shame, because science fantasy isn’t an awful idea, and there are some nice fairytale-ish qualities you could bend around this series (fan fic writers do it all the time), but the show seems to find certain details annoying.  I’m still wondering if, at the end, we’ll see Clarke wake up in solitary and it was all a dream – and she’s on her way to being floated.  

On another tangent – is anyone else a little disturbed by depicting the mass suicide of teens (Jasper, et al)?  The CW is aimed at teens.  Last year, I knew of teens who were so distressed that they were contemplating it and even other self-harming. To play such a scenario – a little cruel and careless, I think.
