One problem the show has is that it hypes up these big events to happen in the finale, but they end up being lackluster. Most of the season feels like a waiting game until the last few episodes. Even when the event finally arrives there's never any high stakes because everyone survives and no one we care about dies. The season 5 finale was garbage just a complete repeat of the events in season 4. Earth faces destruction, people flee into space to survive destruction. Something no one accounted for happens causing our survivors not to return as planed. Again there's now a kid who's the child of someone from the 100. It's literally the same story. I feel like the writers are in a tailspin and don't know what to do so they are throwing everything out hoping something sticks. I get what your saying about the show repeating it self and (in my opinion ) it has one last chance to try something new. Season 6 should be like the welcome to Alexandria story line form TWD.

Are you not a fan of the conclave and primfire episodes in season 4?

I like reading what you have to say, even if I dont agree with everything you say. I do agree with you that the show should kill off more characters and there being to much shipping.I would like to hear what you do like about the show and what you think it dose well. Season 6 is the shows last chance and it should be like the Alexandria arc from TWD.

The conclave felt like a rip off of the hunger games. Characters that should have fought and died like Indra and Echo didn't. Roan died in a weak and pathetic way. Plus the way Octavia was so easily able to defeat Luna after hearing everyone say she's going to be hard to beat. Primfyiya was good but there never felt like there were any stacks since no one died.

I can't really say much good for the show. The landscape and the world is potrayed realistic. The acting from the more experienced actors like Henry, Paige, Isaiah, Richard, Zach and Ricky are some of good stuff. IMO Eliza, Bob, Marie, and Lindsay are not good actors I think what is holding this show back is the CW. All the people behind the scenes are outstanding in my opinion. I dont know if there are any rules but I get the impression that the show can only kill off so many characters per season. Two regulars at most.

I agree to some extent about Roan and Luna. There deaths were good and well timed but the problem was the way the characters were used before that. Roan wanted what was best for ice nation but there mostly hated him. We didn't get to truly see the Ice nation people at heart and that made Roan useless as a main character. As for Luna they got her story right but lacked screen  time that  didn't help as many fans found her change of heart out of place when that was not the case. As for Indra I am Happy she did not take part because of her story arc in season 5. She instead should of died at the battle of Eden protecting Octavia and Gaia.

For me the Conclave and Primfie are the peak of the show for many reasons. Season 2 overall is the best season and I hope season 6 will try new thing and take some risks.

The only bad actor on the show was the woman who played Ontari. The CW is holding the show back, but I believe that Jason and the people behind the show are too scared to kill off characters. I believe they don't have confidence that whoever is feft can carry the show. They shove Clarke, the Blake siblings and Murphy and Raven down our throats and don't give other characters time to shine that they deserve.

Luna's death was timed right, but I think Roan could have lived. Especially with the whole red queen it would have been interesting to see who he sided with and who he would turn into in that circumstance. Indra feels like one of those characters that is somehow surviving everything. I do like her relationship with Kane and how it's not just the kids working out deals with the grounders. However she didn't have an arc in Season 5.

Personally Season 4 was were the show began going down hill for me. Season 6 better be amazing otherwise I'm done with the show.

The acting from the young actors is terrible especially Marie. The adults are more experienced and better. I feel like the young actors feel like this show has made them famous so they don't have to improve their acting cause they're already famous and people will hire them no matter what.
