I felt that way, too. The Mountain Men had been sprinkled throughout Season 1 with the drawings in Lincoln's book and his reference to them coming to kill them all before they arrived in the finale. It was mysterious and you didn't know whether they were bad or good. The City of Light/Jaha stuff was way more built up throughout Season 2 so by the time we got to ALIE, I was like, "meh. Not another story about AIs taking over the world, please!" They just didn't seem to leave ALIE's intentions as ambiguous as the Mountain Men but maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong.

That being said, even though The 100 does follow a lot of tropes, they usually follow them very differently than to be expected OR they follow them very well. I have faith that whatever they do, it will be just as good/better than what they've already done, even if I can't currently see it.
