It does seem like this show has been circling back and forth for some time in the sense that characters head to the ground, but then it’s not safe on the ground so they go back to space, then head to the ground again, etc. The discovery of a new planet will hopefully move things forward.

The end seems like it would have made a better series ending as opposed to a season ending (which is what JR had in mind when the show’s future was uncertain, he wanted the ending to be able to go both ways). Anyway, I am super excited for S6 but hope it’s not just a repeat of our heros fighting over the last survivable planet with a new group.

I really want The 100 top explore something entirely different this upcoming season that doesn’t involve the new planet dying off. We have already seen seasons of internal conflict amongst a group of people, two armies fighting each other, and the future of the planet in jeopardy. So I hope they really do explore new territory.

Anyways, the Monty and Harper scenes were bittersweet. They finally got everything they wanted: a true, fulfilled life. So it was an awesome and heartbreaking ending of the book. Monty and Harper were the ulitimate Anti-Hero's. They devoted their lives to saving the lives of their friends. We were able to live out their lives in the last five minutes of the show. The writting was the best ever. He had the opportunity to go into cyro sleep, after breaking the code and finding a new home, but couldn't fathom waking up with out Harper by his side. That was just so true to character. The part they played in saving humanity was necessary, but I am not sure about the dynamic of the group without them. Their son may replace the dynamic since he only has them as a reference, but he still has to be accepted by the group. I just wish he would have put Harper in cryo sleep when she started getting sick and then put himself in cryo sleep after breaking the code, just so they could have seen what they accomplished.
