Have we ever seen Clarke demonstrate this level of willingness to die for her people before? She’ll kill for her people, but die for them? Perhaps Clarke has fought off some of her own demons now.Īlso amazing was welcoming back ALIE. We also see an amazing moment where Clarke is ready to sacrifice herself so Madi and her people can live. Madi is Clarke’s daughter and the “love” of her life, even if it is a different kind of love. And we saw that the new prominent face on Clarke’s wall is not Lexa but Madi. They moved on to Clarke’s present and future, as they needed to do. #The100 /nfj7loHqdpīut they didn’t focus on that for too long. Clarke crying on Lexa’s throne said it all.Ĭlarke sitting on Lexa's throne sobbing like that is breaking my heart into a million pieces. It’s obvious that Lexa is still her “soul mate” until she finds or accepts another. We got to see her reunited with her dad, we got to see her remember the pain of killing Finn, and we got to see her remember the joy that Octavia once had (and how she’s changed since.) We saw Bellamy figure prominently on her wall, along with memories of her best friend Wells, but none of her past best friends or loves figured as prominently as Lexa. It was a clear callback to when she drew on the walls while she was a prisoner in on the Ark in the pilot.īut they also used the drawings to reveal so many other aspects of Clarke’s memories.
So it's a happy ending for the human race.First, I loved Clarke’s drawings in her mind space.
It's OK, though, because we transcended and joined the universal consciousness. They're going to live their days together as a family, grow old together, and when they die, the human race is over. Speaking to TVLine, Rothenberg said of this ending: "They can never procreate and they can't transcend, so this is it for them. Then, however, the show reveals that transcendence is a choice, and Clarke's friends have decided to come back and live out their lives with her rather than live forever without pain.Īs such, The 100 gets the happy ending as Octavia, Raven, Murphy (Richard Harmon), Emori (Luisa d'Oliveira), Indra (Adina Porter), Gaia (Tati Gabrielle), Levitt (Jason Diaz), Jackson (Sachin Sahel), Miller (Jarod Joseph), Niylah (Jessica Harmon), Echo (Tasya Teles), Hope (Shelby Flannery), and Jordan (Devon Bostick) hug and start living out the rest of their lives without war. The episode also confirms Bellamy's theory that only the living can transcend, meaning that The 100 ends with the cruel irony of the only person who believed in transcendence not being able to transcend. However, as Clarke herself failed the test, she is left alone with only Picasso for company.
#THE 100 SEASON 6 EPISODE 13 SERIES#
'The 100' series finale saw all the living humans except from Clarke able to transcend. Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) gave an inspirational speech that stopped the war before too many people had died, leaving the judge to finally decide the humans were ready to transcend. However, the remaining humans did a noble deed that finally allowed them to transcend. Raven tried to appeal, but still the humans were not able to transcend. However, once the test began, it had to be completed, meaning that Clarke failed it by committing murder. However, the judging was basically over before it began, Clarke finally got revenge on Cadogan by killing him as he took the test. "We couldn't have Bellamy return in the end," The 100 creator Jason Rothenberg told Entertainment Weekly, "because the rules of transcendence were only the living shall transcend."Īs the judge took the form of the person it was talking to most loved, Cadogan (John Pyper-Ferguson) saw the judge as his daughter Callie (Iola Evans), Clarke (Eliza Taylor) got to see her long-dead daughter Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), and Raven (Lindsey Morgan) saw Abby (Paige Turco). It did not, however, bring back Bellamy (played by Bob Morley), much to some fan's frustration. Season 7, Episode 16, titled "The Last War" also brought back some fan-favorite characters from the show's past as avatars of the judge who was deciding whether the human race was ready to transcend. The 100 has now come to an end on The CW with a final episode that gave a rare happy ending to the cast-though in the show's typical style, that finale was bittersweet.
