Warning: Spoilers
Everything I said I DID NOT want to happen happened in the very next episode. Indra vs Gaia in the pit? I don't include Bellamy because they would not dare kill him off. Octavia was a favorite character and I still love her, though I think she needs to calm down with channeling her inner Slingblade. Seriously, did she smoke fifty cartons of cigarettes a day while she was in the bunker? I'm glad she showed she still had a soul, judging by the tears in her eyes at the end of the episode. She had fought to stay in power so long and not show any mercy that she's put herself in an awful predicament.

Clarke continued to be Clarke, willing to kill anyone as long as whoever she cares about at the moment is safe. Madi is stepping up. I think she would make a terrific commander, putting an end to the war within the clan and against the Eligius group. Hopefully Octavia can finally put her pride aside and spare the lives of Bellamy and Indra. Gaia is expendable, IMO. Murphy did what he does best, cause strife and tension between groups. The rest of the cast was just there.

McCreary needs to go away and crawl back to the generic bad guy school he learned from. Maybe it's the hairdo, but I just find him annoying, not threatening. Vinson, on the other hand, would make a great ally...until he turns on you and eats your face or something. Diyoza has a lot of potential and could be a true asset, but sadly I do not see her surviving the season as there are already too many people who consider themselves "leader". No way will she just surrender control.

Miller...WTF? When did you become a henchman? You were so cool at one time. I really need to know more about this dark year to figure out why your personalities all changed so drastically. Did y'all have to eat each other? Geez. Eat a Snickers.

This is still not my favorite season but I have to admit I cannot stop watching it. So many strong characters and they all shine. Kane seems to have taken a backseat and Abby is just annoying with her willingness to do anything to keep getting pills. For all its faults, The 100 is still an amazing show.
