Real talk, I actually really liked this finale. It was intense and powerful like the other The 100 finales.

My favourite part is when they're all released from the CoL, and many of them, including people as strong as Kane, begin weeping. That was very powerful.

I loved the Clexa scenes. I was glad to hear Bellamy finally admit how terrible he was, but it's still not redemptive IMO. Pike was such an interesting character. We understood why he was doing what he was doing. We saw him be heartless and ruthless, and we saw him be brave and desperately trying to protect the 100 in Earth Skills. He saved Octavia's life, and then walked over to her where she immediatly killed him. Pike walked over like he expected it, but seemed surprised that she actually did it, I couldn't tell. Pike deserved his death, but part of me is glad that he seemed to be somewhat at peace with it. Pike thought he was at war, as he had been since he'd hit the ground, and it corrupted him. I like that the show had Octavia kill him. I was afraid they'd have her randomly forgive him and let him go, but that wouldn't been ridiculous.
