I really liked the concept of the show when it first aired and enjoyed the presence of every character, but after watching this last episode I have a couple things I can’t get over. First, it seems that every season they introduce one big issue that takes 12 episodes to play out and then 1 finale episode to introduce the next problem. Second, Aside from seasons 1 and 2, I have a hard time taking the show seriously because of how dramatic it is as well as I feel NO connection right now to any of the characters besides one. I do not like Clarke's "I know everything attitude", Octavia's "I need to be the leader ego", Monty's "I guess I'll do it if you ask me twice 'pushoverness', Abby's "Doctor turned drug addict phase". The only person I can connect with is Bellamy because I think he even knows how ridiculous this show and its characters are getting. The show had a grim start as 100 teenagers were sent to see if the earth was habitable after a nuclear war but the producers were still able to bring life, excitement, energy and even happiness to moments were you thought there could be none. Now, I just feel that the show is being dragged along with a dark and gloom mood to it. TBT to when Murphy, Raven, Monty and many more had more than oneliners in an episode. This show can still be great even if it dials back how dramatic it is by 20 notches. Regardless, I will still watch the show for as long as it will be on but I really wish it aired 10 years ago and I could just binge watch it because it's hardly keeping my attention at the moment.
