Since season 5 saw the ratings drop below 100 million viewers, this season would have to draw in a bunch of viewers to save the show. They could keep going, and milk the show until it's dry, but the show would inevitably suffer. First off due to low ratings, the budget would be cut. This means that episodes would be poorly directed, and also cast members would probably have to be let go. If the budget is cut then there won't be enough to pay all the actors, and the main cast would suffer first. This will cause some favorites to be let go first. This could be a reason why there are hints of Octavia possibility dying this season.

I'll say the show is good, but it could be better but 4 going on 5 seasons I don't see it getting better. What the show should have done is expand the world. Don't bring in another spaceship full of prisoners cause that's too repetitive. What they should have done is show other survivors other than the grounders, and scrap the new prisoners. Why did the ratings go down? Did season 3 or 4 affect the series? I thought 4 was great.

I don't think they'll expand the world. I think the Prisoners is a good idea. We get to see more factions with high level technology. The Grounders and Sky People will have to integrate and that'll be interesting. Season 5 will have a lot of mysteries unraveled. Seems like this season will be the battle for who will rebuild society. I don't see them going to other planets in the solar system though but I would like to seem them go beyond the Eastern USA. Why not go to destoryed cities and rebuild? (if there are any left)
