Man that finale has to be one of the best.

To start the beginning with Octavia and indra were great together, and it gives me hope Indra will be a main character next season. The part I don't like is that Jaha, Kane and Abby weren't in the episode. When the radio died Abby should have been there ready to say goodbye to Clarke. Kane and Jaha should have also been there to offer advice to Octavia like indra did. Also I was really looking forward to seeing a broken Kane after he decided to gas everyone. I hope we get to see a broken Kane in flashbacks. I feel that was a big missed opportunity.

The story of Clarke and her group was great. The mission with Murphy and Monty was excellent, and I loved the callback to season 1. Also I loved how they made it so Murphy had to leave Monty, because at first I thought Murphy was leaving him for dead but he saved him in the end.

The Raven breakdown was ok, but it didn't feel like Lindsay was really feeling it. I feel like the actress didn't do a good job in the science, and it felt like acting when it should have felt like the actress herself was having a breakdown.

The Echo story was done great, I like how they choice her instead of emori to be afraid. choosing the strong warrior who's been trying to kill the heroes breakdown in fear and sadness really humanized Echo in the end in my opinion.

Clarke sacrificing herself was excellent, and the suspense of is she going to make it was great. I like how now she is the mother figure to Madi. Now correct me if I'm wrong but at the end it sounded like she told madi to lead the others to safety, meaning other possible nightbloods. Was I hearing things, or did Clarke say that.

I love that they did the timeskip, because honestly a whole season of surviving the bunker and ark in my opinion would have just been repeating season 1. I do hope they show flashbacks in season 5, and don't understand why they won't. I do hope they all have new looks similar to in the new beginning in the walking dead.

The only thing I have against the episode is that spoilers leaked, thereby ruining the finale. Also the trailer for the episode ruined the reveal of Clark in the valley in the end. Whoever was responsible for the script leak, and adding the scene in the trailer should be fired cause that was extremely idiotic and stupid. Still this is a great episode.
