Seeing actors you know from other stuff dressed up as Grounders on The 100 can be weird. I still have trouble recognizing Niylah as having the same actress as Bozio on iZombie.

Okay, first off, telling everyone in the title of the article that there's a character death this episode is kind of a faux pas.

When Lexa mentioned they delivered Costia's head to her bed, it made me wonder if someone in the Ice Nation has managed to see a copy of The Godfather somehow.

Since the Nightbloods were introduced, I've been trying to think of which characters on this show we HAVEN'T seen bleed and could turn out to be surprise Nightbloods who show up for the conclave.

I thought they'd stopped doing the opening narration and just went straight to "Previously on The 100 . . ."?

I assume it's simple scheduling logistics: there's just not enough time to do both.

Thing is, thanks to the Golden Globes, Jane The Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend are filling the "low-rated but critically acclaimed" role, while the DC superhero shows are their big ratings earners. The 100's somewhere inbetween those two.

Anya really was an inspirational mentor for her. She just took inspiration from the wrong part.

People have been predicting Lexa's imminent death since back in Season 2.

Who cares? The Monorail can outrun them both!

I love that framing Dr. Venture for being a supervillain-killing vigilante, possibly the most diabolical bit of arching the Monarch has ever done, is a complete accident.

That's gonna get gross once he gets back to Shado.

Agreed. I still think her late-Season 2 outfit was the best, though.

It felt like they either needed to make this a two parter to give the battle for Star City the epic feel it needed, or they needed to skip making this a save the city epic and just have Sara exploring this possible future without necessarily fixing it. We saw with Snart and Mick that simply plopping these characters…

Though, according to Gideon, Kendra actually did most of the work, while Ray and Jax just kept trying to score with her.

Plus, Ray's impetus for hitting on Kendra was, essentially, realizing she's there, so why not?

Yeah, Stein's awesome.

I've pointed this out elsewhere, but the team sent to the village was hoping they could simply intimidate the Grounders into leaving without having to actually hurt them. It's just that, as Monty notes, it's unlikely the Grounders would be that compliant.

I'm kind of worried because Titus doesn't look that old, but he claims to have served four different Commanders. Makes me wonder if Commanders don't usually last too long; Lexa is, at most, in her early twenties, and she's the oldest Nightblood we've seen.

Yeah, if this is as far as their physical affection for each other ever goes, it's a double standard, but I'd say The 100 has earned enough benefit of the doubt in that regard that we shouldn't judge just yet.
