It never convinced me how they could re-take their ship that easily...there is always a loophole somewhere in the back for both parties (=> Echo's mission) as plot tool to make a full U-turn, a deus ex machina...that sucks big time. To take the control of the life support system should not be possibl by some backdoor trick...it is too vital.
Then: why not sealing the kryo-bay? Raven had the time and the skills to dislog the energy supply and controls of this door from the rest of the ship and connect it with an own power supply and closing mechanism. They have tons of electronics and the tools to construct something like that. We designed and constructed such circuits at school. And she is depicted as an genius level engineer.
But I like to start the leader of the prison crew...and she is hardly a criminal but a political prisoner...I don't know if she is a fanatic/terrist, or if her "going rogue" was justified. On one hand she is reckless (ordering to bomb the bunker people - but only after one of her crew went rogue and she knew that peace was no longer an option) and the other hand she listen to Kane and knows that they need farmers and enineers if they want to build up a new, working society.
And this leads me to Octavia who is breaking my balls with her fanatism. If she fails to adapt, she will be destined to fail...and I have no interest to see her fail slowly and painfully. Bad ass - ok, tough - ok, reckles - to a certain extent - ok, but her manichaeism that leaves no middle ground is simply annoying. And her fighting skills are also ridiculously over-powerd. She started her traing when she was already a young adult, far too old to become someone with skills on "olympic level", and she fought entire groups of huge guys who have been trained this skill as small children. This is too much of this new #metoo-hollywood-bullshit-agenda for me.
Last but not least: I liked Clarke's little cub, but know she is also getting annoying because of her stupid moves. Teenagers are prone to rebel, but to cast Clarke entirely aside for Octivia whom she only knows from Clark's stories...or that Clarke's former love interest was (is) actually willing to tell Octivia everything.
I watch this show every friday by now, and after it, I watch "The Expanse", and the latter one is far more rewarding.

The season is continuing slowly due to a lot of breaks by the network(?) but it never stops being great. This is such an underrated show.

Last night was a great episode. This show never disappoints, it's a real roller coaster ride. I haven't seen it so far, but I really, really hate Clark and Bellamy. They didn't kill Cooper to stop the war, but only to get away unburnt. They could have destroyed the worms and leave Cooper restrained. But of course, in this case at least one of them had to pay the price...hence kill someone else for the greater good: their personal freedom. They are neither the chosen leader of these people, nor the parents of Maddi. Or leaving Octavia alive, while she killed the guard who was willing to lay down the weapon. If she was serious about Maddi, Octavia would be dead. Stupid writing. Everyone who is not important for the plot i can be killed for the selfish reasons of Clark and Bellamy.

I'm done with this SJW-#metoo-women-to-power bullshit. Awful, just awful.

The season finale was off the hook! This show is always awesome. The season finale could have easily served as a series finale, but we have another mind blowing season coming next year!

Last night was a great episode. This show never disappoints, it's a real roller coaster ride. Didn't it bother you how fanatic Clarke was, beyond reason, or how every one was switching the sides. Kane was the worst. While the female leader was reasonable and a deal was possible, the other one was a sociopath who would never honor a deal. He should have known this => bad writing. And he killed and destroyed everything he tried to protect. I wished Dennis(?) had finished the job...cut him into pieces...but now he is still alive to ruin it again for everybody. He, Clarke, Abby and the "Red Queen" are the reason why hundreds died and not only the valley (a stupid premise from the beginning, as was Prymefaya (or how they spell) it) but all of Earth. They finally destroyed our home world because they were all busied with back-stabbing and treason. If Kane had should up, they had won, and the valley was secured and step by step Earth could have recovered. That was also the reason why I was so mad that they burned the farm - they could have used this technology to start terraforming around Polis, and why did Clarke left Octavia alive (who she conceived as ultimative threat to Madi) but killed minutes later a guard who had already surrendered?! The only reason was to keep on the story which needed Octivia...the Red Queen. The last episode was ok due to the ending (but the first part: backstabbing, backstabbing, backstabbing - zerobrains in the full-throttle mode), and the new premise can work great...but according to what the writer did this season with Clarke, Kane and Co. and there idiotic and selfish behavior. Just an other small notice: Clarke and Bellamy didn't kill Cooper to stop the war, but only to avoid being held responsible. Albeit it was not about the worms and thus the murder pointless (they harvested the eggs, which were later mindlessly thrown on the ground by Clarke - if they were that dangerous, she could have even caused the next bio-catastrophe just en passage), they had destroyed them, the murder was just the attempt to cover it up in order to save their sorry asses. It's murder - plain and simple. So, the writers, like in the Walking Dead, or earlier in Lost, can only conflict, they can't tell "how the Wets was won", how a new civilization is build up. Game of Thrones had more politics, economy and culture included. So it will be all about a conflict, not nation building, politics the idea to introduce a new eco-system. Maybe it will be as lame as Earth 2 with two death boring alien species. They have the chance to start from the scratch, but I'm 100% sure they will screw up. Hope, not after the idiocy of the last season. I was so fucked up after the 10th episode, that I stopped to watch it and collected all three remaining episodes which I finished a few minutes ago. 11 and 12 were torture...I wanted to take an iron bar and crush Clarke's skull. To quote a imdb.com review: Clarke is beyond forgiveness, the writers damaged the character beyond repair.

I thought you stopped watching. No it didn't bother me. I'm invested in the story not the individual characters. All of them are flawed and all of them are in impossible situations. All will fail sometimes and some will fail more than others. The entertainment is in seeing what happens next.

I really liked the finale, especially the ending. This season had a few weaker moments in the middle, but it delivered when it needed to. I think I'd rank it as my 2nd favorite season behind season 2. I can't wait for season 6.

I started watching. But it seemed kind of juvenile to me. Seems like a future version of "Lord of the Flies".

It goes in some dark and crazy directions as it goes on. And it bears little resemblance to "Lord of the Flies" but there is some. BTW I don't think there is anything juvenile about "Lord of the Flies"

Boy, that Raven sure holds a grudge! I'd forgotten what Abby did to her, she must have gotten the shock collar like Maddy. Where was Maddy BTW, they didn't wake her up yet? Why not? Nylah (?) waking up Bloodreina ought to add to the entertainment if nothing else. I can't remember why Echo would have cause to stick up for Octavia, is that guilt from gutting her and watching her tumble from the cliff, or because she knows Bellamy needs to for his own peace of mind? I liked Diyouza and was sorry she wasn't in this one, I hope she shows up sooner or later.
It really is tough to keep straight just who hates who and why!
I was surprised they killed Shaw but frankly I never bought him as a hotshot pilot or being from outside Detroit, I won't much miss him though it sucks to lose the guy who knows something about the Elegius missions.

Sorry, but I'm pissed about the usual: No protection suits, no airlock, just out into the wild, we do not care about germs, insects, or other dangerous stuff albeit there are no living signs of the former mission crew and we have no readings how the atmosphere look like (and that's what got them at the end). Then, the others could easily stole their ship (of course, there are always "Others": Lost, GoT, The 100...and how is this always possible. They assumed that there might be still people around, that they were Eligius staff (=> code words) and that they might be hostile. So why don't secure the ship by a guards and changed pws? In the show the writers will take care for them, but in "real life" these are the mistakes, the stupidity, that cost you everything. I expect better writing. And Murphy destructive nature was really pissing me off the most. Hopefully, he can't be saved. Both episodes an F, and when the "Others" boarded the mothership, I was done. What an awful crap. PS: For those who find this pedantic: This ship/shuttle is most crucial, and most essential for their very survival, not only for them (on the ground), but for all survivors of Earth. Without it you nobody can enter or leave the motherships and is trapped where they are. An object of this importance has to be protected and secured at any given time. So there is no excuse for this bullshit (over and over again). The same goes with the access to the mothership without any identification or means to avert (or contain) an unauthorized boarding. This crap always becomes a major plot tool to turn tables. I'm so sick of it.

This crap always becomes a major plot tool to turn tables. I'm so sick of it. Octavia killed their survival expert and the one with the best tactical sense at the end of season three, what's left are juvenile delinquents and criminals, some from relatively primitive societies. There's no reason to expect them to behave like a well-oiled military machine. Perhaps it would have gone differently had they woken Diyouza, but they didn't--and probably wouldn't have listened to her if they had!
They're still fun to watch though.

its time for this show to end, it just going to get more ridiculous The idea Westworld is deducting for two season is here just giving with a finger snip and without any well-though-out explanation. As satisfying the second half of the second season of Westworld was for me - and it would also have been a good ending for the show too-, as disappointed I'm from "The 100": Always a new native "tribe" or already established group - just more advanced this time; a mix of modern tech with a medieval appearance that is borderline ridiculous - they have to deal with. No real fresh start from the scratch. And why shall they have no chance to survive, if the first colonist did. They have more equipment (it's a fucking mining ship, fully stored with energy, and they can choose how many people they want as labor force at any given moment while the other can be safely stored without needing food or shelter), more experience, and more manpower - with the mentioned freedom of choice. Both time they failed - especially after the first successful attack and take over - to protect their landing ship. The main door completely open while even the closest parameter is neither fully accessible (all the woodwork what also allowed the second attack) nor secured (scanners, some sort of radar, heat sensors, or even a mere fence...nothing.). They were overtaken by weapons as primitive as the ones from native tribes of the South American rain forest barely above the technological level of cavemen. And they were already attacked, lost the ship and almost lost their mothership. Or with Kinski's words: "So blรถd kann keiner sein" - no one can be that stupid. The writing sucks bad time if they need such nonsense to create drama or bring forward their plot. And this pregnant lady is supposed to be a top notch professional in this regard.

It has been officially announced that season 7 will be the final season. The show lasted WAY longer than almost anyone expected. It's a real cult classic at this point.

The current season was way better then the last one, albeit I hoped for a complete different direction: colonization instead Allie 2.0. Ok, now we have aliens - more or less - on board. Could be great, could be a disaster. But I'm looking forward through. PS: And we got rid of Dr. Abby Mengele.
