I believe that the end scene with Kane was just done to get people talking. Similar to Clarke taking the bunker only for her people last season.

I think they said in an interview that 2 adults will die. I don't think they'll kill Indra. Abby or Kane can die, though. Abby is just here to protect her daughter, with Clarke being a surrogate mom to Madi, I don't think they need another mother figure. Besides, killing her could give Clarke a good character development. Kane, I don't know. Maybe they are going to kill him off but the impact of Kane's death won't be as big as Abby's death. She's really in danger IMO, just like Octavia and Raven (I hope she doesn't die, please God!) I'm going be really mad if Kane dies cause he's the best and most believable character. Jaha's death was so unnecessary and I'm starting to worry that some of the more better known actors might start leaving the show due to the rattings tanking. If you look at FTWD frank dillane wanted off the show and they killed him off and I believe it cause he didn't want to the show ruining his career. Since Isaiah, Henry, Paige, and Richard are already established actors we might start seeing characters like Kane, Abby and Murphy dying cause the actors don't want this show ruining their career. We probably wouldn't see the deaths of Octavia or Raven since they're upcoming actors they already have an established Fanbase due to the show and their fans will most likely follow them to their next project. However I still hope Raven or Octavia dies cause I think it would be good for the story, but Kane dying would be weak and forced like Jaha's.

Honestly, as long as Bellamy, Clarke, Murphy and Raven are alive, I'm fine. Never really cared that much for the adults and Kane is too much of a Gandhi for me to believe him. He's always right, always calling out people, always the voice of reason. Not one single mistake. He was really interesting in season 1 and 2 but after that, he became so boring ... I've always been fascinated by characters like Bellamy (absolute favourite all TV shows included), Clarke, Murphy and Raven. Deeply flawed, freaking relatable and so damn human.

The ratings are still good for the CW standards. Even their highest rated shows are dropping (Arrow and Supergirl for example). A 0.3 is really not bad and it's popular on Netflix, Amazon, the show trended worldwide on twitter, it's acclaimed by the reviewers and press. We're good. I'm the opposite I find the adults more interesting and besides you need the voice of reason characters otherwise you just have the idiot kids doing whatever they want. If it wasn't for the adults the kids would most likely be dead. Even though it's the kids saving the day all the time it's just not realistic and done for plot conveniences.

In all reality the actors who portray Clarke Bellamy Octavia and Raven aren't good. Whenever they show emotion it's never realistic and just comes off as actors acting. The adults are more experienced and have been acting for longer so they're better. This is probably most of the young actors first serious gig, and they probably know fans will follow them anywhere so they don't try and become better actors. The producers know good looking young actors will pull in teen actors which is the CW's core demographic so they'll get them regardless if they are a good actor or not.

Right now the show is barely pulling in 1 million viewers arrow and suppergirl are pulling in 2 million. Last season the show started the same way but dropped below 1 million viewers and will most likely yet again. No tomorrow and frequency had about the same views and they got cancelled last year. Popularity on Netflix and amazon just mean people are watching it it could just be the same people that usually watch the show but wait to watch it later which hurts rattings. Trending on twitter doesn't matter cause just about every show on the lower networks trend every week so trending on twitter doesn't mean anything. The CW is pretty much a joke network that caters to teens if this was any other network the show would have already been cancelled. At this point the show is just repeating the same thing it started with and I'd rather in my opinion End the show on a high note instead of dragging it out.

Well, I'm a twenty year old girl so I'm more interested in the youth.

I have to disagree with you on this one. Lindsey Morgan gave us an amazing performance in Nevermore when Raven was controled by Alie. Eliza Taylor stole the show in Eden. Her acting was better than anything she ever done before. She pulled every emotion perfectly. Marie wasn't that good in season 1 but improved a lot (Lincoln's death, Red Queen). And Bob Morley is probably the one who shows the most realistic emotions. He doesn't even need to talk, it's all in the eyes. Hakeldama, Blood must have blood, Gimme Shelter, Wanheda, A Lie guarded (his reaction to Octavia's death felt so goddamn real), Praimfaya, he was amazing in those episodes and his acting is overall really strong. I'm not the only one saying this. Just go on Reddit, the most objective forum you'll find, and you'll see how people appreciate their performances. The only ones who didn't convince me were Christopher Larkin and ADC (she is so stale, no emotions). I really think you just have a very biased opinion on the CW in general, based on shows like Riverdale where the acting is really crappy.

That's really disrespectful to talk about them as "good-looking actors with no talent" when the press praised Eliza's and Marie's acting in S5 and is hyping up Bob's performance in the next episode.

It's a veteran show. It's not annouced as the last season. The last episode is probably a cliffhanher since they're introducing a new character. No tomorrow and Frequency were new shows not 5 seasons show. They renewed The Orignals for a last season, despite the fact that the ratings weren't great. They renewed Dynasty this year, it's the second lowest rated show but it does good on Netflix (so yes, Netflix is important). They renewed CEG and JTV, both under 1 million viewers. Out of the 4 shows left, The 100 is the most likely to be renewed. It's the CW we're talking about, not ABC or AMC. Supergirl and Arrow have dropped a lot. Last week, SG pulled 1.5 million viewers and Arrow pulled 1.1 million viewers (and the weeks before, it was under 1 million viewers). All their ratings are dropping like crazy. I agree Lindsay was good in nevermore but I don't really like possession stories so I didn't really care for that episode but Lindsay was good. However that was her only big moment in my opinion. My other problem with Raven is every season is the same story but that's not Lindsay's fault. Eliza did Steal the show in Eden but the only reason is because 95% of the episode was about Clarke. Her acting was definitely better but in the desert and bear trap it was weak. Marie's 50/50 for me sometimes she's good sometimes she's bad. In my opinion she doesn't do a great job portraying anger and sadness. Bob is hit or miss too he's had strong moments but weak moments. I strongly disagree though the moment he thought Octavia was death came off as weak and cheesy. Christopher is actually a pretty good actor and I can really relate to him, they just don't give him a lot to work with. ADC is actually a good actress and I'm not saying that cause I'm a Lexa or Clexa fan. I followed ADC before the 100 and yes she can be stale but is someone who will probably be a big Hollywood name. I don't look at forums and stuff like that cause people who talk are most likely fans of the show not real critics.

I'll agree I do have a bit of a biased view on the CW I've watched many of their shows and have found the same thing time and time again. Their shows all have good looking actors with average acting, that draws in teens and twenty year old girls which is there core demographic.

I wouldn't say they're not talented just have average acting talent. I do stand by the good looking Part, everyone always looks perfect yet it's the apocalypse. Also only 2 episodes aired and they both only appeared in 1 episode not enough to convince me that their acting has improved. I'd love to see those articles can you give me the link?

Veteran shows with consistently low rattings are more endangered cause they've been around for longer and networks would rather try a new show than one that is continuing to drop in rattings. If the CW wanted to be taken seriously they'd cut the weak. Again Netflix doesn't matter TWD is really popular on Netflix yet rattings continue to drop and fans are worried about it getting cancelled.

Finally these are just my opinions and I hope I'm not offending you or making you not want to be apart of the community. I'm just someone who Reviews the show and doesn't always think it's as good as it should be.

If you want a good honest review check out this review video it's not mine but this guy gives a great review of the show.

I don't have the time to find other reviews but clearly, they're nlt considered as bas actors at all. Lindsey and Bob are the oned that convey emotions the best. There's something natural in their acting.

Again, like I said, I can't predict but the CW has a tendency to renew its veteran shows for a last season if they need to cancel it.

And the review you gave me is about season 1. Not really representative of the show and the acting.
