The 100 – Season 7 Episode 14

“A Sort of Homecoming” The 100 returns to familiar surroundings and has the characters consider what they want to call home. If the final season of The 100 were to be defined by one thing it would be wasted time. Despite the dwindling episode count the writers seem oddly content to waste time haphazardly exploring…

The 100 – Season 7 Episode 13

“Blood Giant” The 100 returns from another hiatus and reunites much of the cast in a single location while addressing the various plot threads at play. For some of the runtime of this episode there was an old school The 100 vibe to it in terms of it being a frenetic crisis that was challenging…

The 100 – Season 7 Episode 5

“Welcome to Bardo” The 100 properly introduces Bardo and its complicated command over time as Sanctum destabilises even further thanks to Sheidheda.
