Colonizing an already inhabited land while killing the native population?Check. Credit: Katie Yu/The CW Interning people just because of where theyre from?Check, check. In Watch the Thrones, newly christened Chancellor Pike promised he would finish what he started, i.e. meet Indras peacekeeping army outside Arkadia with automatic weapons....

An Ark flashback reminds us what these characters looked like clean! There is nothing quite like a song to make you feel nostalgic. And a good flashback doesnt hurt either. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW Tonights tune of choice was Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Well, I should say a cover of it. I was one of the few people who didnt hate that particular part of the pilot. (Does this mean I have bad taste in music?...

The race to get A.L.I.E. out of Raven is on The gang is back together. The gang is back together. Credit: Diyah Pera/The CW The gang is back together. Like all episodes ofThe 100, Nevermore was heavy. Ravens life was hanging in the balance. Monty had to make an impossible decision. And series-long mistakes were unearthed and had to be relived. It was dark, yes. But I also couldnt help but be giddy at the end of the episode....

Somehow, things got even worse You know those days whereeverythingjust goes wrong? And just when you think things are starting to go your way, everything turns horrible yet again? Thats exactly where we find our 100 kids this week.

Luckily for all of us, Abby wakes up. Instantly the memories of what she did while in the City of Light flood over her....

Everything keeps going wrong, and A.L.I.E. just keeps on winning The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In Polis prison, Murphy is somehow uniting Grounders and Grounder haters alike. Credit: Diyah Pera/The CW Yes, you read that right: Murphy is uniting people. I love it and yet Im nervous what this means about Pike. Dare I say it…I dont actually hate Pike now? Hes speaking some sense for once....

ShowrunnerJason Rothenberg wrote this last weekwhile describing his reasoning behind Lexas death and responding to the outcry following Thirteen. No matter how you feel about the situation, tonights episode at least proved the truth in those words. No one is safe. Credit: Cate Cameron/The CW That being said, Stealing Fire was an excellent episode. Maybe it was because Bellamy (and Monty) is back on the right side. Maybe it was because Clarke has a new sense of purpose....

And its about damn time. After the loss we sufferedlast week, we needsomethingto go right. Pike himself has come to represent everything thats wrong with the Bellamy story. Credit: Katie Yu/The CW But five episodes later, without any of the backstory, Bellamys decision makes less and less sense. So lets take it from the top and figure out how he finally,finallyarrived there. Indra and Octavia are presumably at the blockade line or still on their way back....

How does Clarke move on from this? (And how do we!?) You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again. Credit: Liane Hentscher/The CW These words are from another sci-fi series: C.S. She is staring at a bloody, empty space; she looks emotionally spent, lost. Because this is the Ground. A war is still coming, and with Lexas death, peace may no longer be on the table. Clarke will have to find a way to move on without her....

And it turns out this was just a small part of her Lexa Takedown plan. Both Lexas camp and Pikes Farm Station camp are wanting Nia to pay for her sins. Nia enters the room in chains while shooting daggers out of her eyes at Clarke. Credit: Cate Cameron/The CW When asked what she has to say, Wanheda says Skaikru demands justice. (The other is death.) Its not unanimous, but the Ice Queen doesnt recognize Skaikru anyway....

Can you ever truly trust a Grounder? This is a show that potentially has no good guys. This is a show thats had multiple massacres at the hands of major characters. Credit: Cate Cameron/The CW Clarke says she wouldnt need to be returned if Lexa hadnt kidnapped her, but Lexa insists shesavedher. You know when I could have used saving? When you abandoned me at Mount Weather. Yep, were diving right into it....

Since then, the sci-fi show has earned a rabid following, including actress Emma Caulfield. An alum ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer, she is no stranger to intense fan bases. (Mild spoilers included.) Credit: Diyah Pera/The CW Sometime back in 2014, a weekly Wednesday night ritual began: My husbands new favorite show was on. Its really good, though, he would offer back. Thats Jasper, he would politely point out. Well tell him Kenny Fisher wants his goggles back, I would say and laugh at my own joke....
