Tbh, I disagree.

I mean, I hate the first season personally. It felt all over the place, and didn't really hook me until the back half. I'd say once Anya was introduced and we started to really push into more Grounder culture, I became interested in where the story would go.

Season 2 is still my favorite season of the show, and IMO is the best one. Season 3 has some flaws I can't get behind, but for what it is, I enjoyed most of it. Season 4 I liked, aside from certain things. Season 5, I really really loved (sue me).

And I cant say that they "CW'd" the hell out of any of those seasons, sans Season 1.

I agree, Season 6 is revolutionary. It's changed a LOT of things, but it still FEELS like The 100, in a good way. I mean, call me a moron, but I like this season a lot, I think it's close to topping Season 2 as my favorite season.

I enjoy that the recurring cast still has a lot to do, in comparison to last season where it felt like Madi, Diyoza, and McCreary were the only three recurring characters doing much of note (with Shaw occassionaly doing things too). This season, we've got Russell RIGHT at the forfront, Josephine as a STELLAR villain (and truly showing the amazing acting chops of Eliza Taylor), Simone in an interesting role I wasn't expecting, and she gave me chills...

As for returning characters, Madi is on an arc I didn't expect, and 611 really got me invested with the Sheidheda arc more solely because of Madi's interactions with him in the Flame. I want to see her prevail, because it's clear she's still fighting back inside, and the evil in Madi now is primarily Sheidheda's influence. This episode really showed that (albeit in a somewhat "tell don't show" way, but I can look past that just this once). Gaia finally has things to do, and I'm glad she and Miller are stepping up in the back half. Diyoza, up until her... "death" was very prominent, and I loved watching her. Gabriel, I love seeing. He's super interesting, and it's gonna suck seeing him die (cause it's so damn obvious he's gonna die).

I mean... I dunno what else to say. I liked it, to each their own. But I respectfully disagree, and say that this season is not CWing the show. Is it flawed? Of course, nothing's perfect. Do all the love interests make no sense? Yeah, they don't. It's clear they're solely for plot progression though. Clarke briefly getting with Cillian was so she could become vulnerable to be Josephine'd. Jordan and Delilah was basically our introduction to Naming Days and putting Jordan on some semblance of an arc of... actually I don't know his arc, cause he's been absent for a while now.

I think the storyline presented this season is much better than I could've expected. But, if you think I'm just a moron with a bad opinion... please challenge me. Thanks.
