One slight quibble, but they are clearly identified by Kripke and the characters as mid-western, not southern. It’s one of the things I, as a Michigander, always found relatable about them.

There was a real tough stretch after the Leviathans where the show seemed to be running on creative fumes and didn’t have much reason to keep going other than it was Supernatural and by the very laws of nature it had to keep going. But around the time they introduced the Darkness the writing became much, much sharper…

Paging Doctor McCoy, Paging Doctor Lenard H. McCoy.

I mean, Carlton is a much better black nerd I don’t know why anyone still remembers Urkel.

I know the show is supposed to make the Primes come off as yet another in a long line of the 100's ambiguously evil protagonists (something this show can often excel at) but I’m not feeling it. Building a silly religion as a way to body snatch other people in an effort to attain immortality is kind of evil. The…

I knew that this was what was happening on the naming day the moment they turned out how interested they were in the nightbloodsand then started talking about such and such fourth/seventh of her/his name and how they will change. It was obvious the Primes were using Flame-like chips to jump bodies.

Echo showing uncharacteristic vulnerability in this moved her even further up my list of favorite characters & I liked a look at how her relationship with Bellamy works, with them being real with each other and accepting each other’s damage and working to move forward

Clarke’s consciousness still exists on the commander chip in Maddie—they said this season it was only inactive there because Clarke herself was still alive & conscious, so now it will transfer to there & presumably could get transferred back to herself.

I am confident that Clarke is merely suppressed. My prediction is that having previously had The Flame/Commander’s Spirit/A.L.I.E. 2.0 in her body will give Clarke an immunity to the total mind wipe process as the Prime vessels(?) strongly resemble The Flame/Commander’s Spirit/A.L.I.E. 2.0.

I think the rule they broke…

Good episode. I’m okay with Clarke not being a part of the season for a little while, after what happened to her character last season-this was a clever way to let Clarke sit this one out but not Eliza Taylor. Also clever-keeping most of the characters in hibernation so they can focus on the characters that we…

I suppose that begs the question, what happens if Madi were to get an implant? Would the Flame counteract the Prime personas with its lineage?

What I find interesting is that the technological mechanism for the Primes’ immortality is very similar tech to the Flame, except it overwrites (or at least suppresses) the host’s consciousness, rather than working in concert with it.

I did in fact yell at my TV when Gary popped up at the bar, totally not the Legends cast member I was expecting, but the one we needed. Caroline’s correct that this was the weak link episode of the three, it didn’t have quite the same pop as the first two. Fun, but there wasn’t quite a moment as awesome as last year…

Dude, Franklin Farms Used Books and Comics was like 4 miles down the road from Fair Oaks Mall, they had a way better selection and you only had to have three books to have a box ;-)

Wildebeest who started these deer puns please stand up?

It’s just another doe for you and me in paradise.

Seriously, WHAT A FINALE this was. 

Whatever faults one might have with this show, it knows how to pull off a fucking finale. When Dean White’s directing and Jason Rothenberg is writing, you know you’re probably in for something special.

I actually don’t think Maddie was shaming Clarke about the Mt Weather massacre (that Lexa must have told her about!) I think she considered that Clarke being a “hero,” and Clarke not living up to that legacy (which is true) with her very un-Clarke like waffling and half-measures this season.

Heda Madi shamed all the Griffin girls.
