All TV Shows have their ups and downs and some seasons are stronger than others. That's inevitable. But is it just me or is season 5 so far of the 100 really inconsistent with the rest of the show? I'm by no means hating on the show as I've been a fan since the very beginning, but I can't be the only one who noticed the 180 spin of nearly every character. I know that 6 years can change a lot, but that by no means cancels out who you were before, or the people you cared about. The way that all the characters have become black and white in a sense of "If I care about this person I can't care about this person" is driving me mad. How is Clarke able to lose all care for Bellamy and Idra? And everyone else that she supposedly loved. There are people in my life that I haven't talked to in years that I would still risk a lot for, and I haven't been through nearly as much as Clarke went through with Bellamy and the rest of the 100.

Can I also just ask why no one talks about ANY of the people who've died? I'm not asking for a tribute in each episode or even flashbacks, but a mere name drop would be appreciated. Especially considering so many of the plotlines seen prior to this season are still applicable. Like why are none of the characters mentioning Lincoln to Octavia when we all know he was a firm believer in peace and would be horrified by what she's become. Or why does no one mention Wes, or Finn or even Clarke's dad?

I didn't have many expectations for this season, but I'm shocked and quite frankly disappointed by the writing.
