Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
There was a topsy-turvy episode of The 100, containing aspects that were really bothersome, yet the episode also contained some of the show’s best and most powerful material yet.
Last week, I griped about how the Clarke and Finn hookup felt too rushed and out of nowhere and man, this episode sure double downed on it, having both of them get so very emotional about it in a way that just wasn’t earned. “I needed you. I wanted it to be you,” said Clarke, as though this had been something building for a long time. Yet nothing we’d seen prior to this had been established between the two besides some early flirtation and bonding. If they had chalked it up to them getting together because of the extreme situation, but added in a requisite, “but maybe there’s something really there...”, it would have at least sold more than putting so much meaning on it so quickly. Especially since we knew Raven was on her way, just in time to make this situation much more of a cliché love triangle. It was unfortunate, and initially undercut the interesting element that was Raven’s arrival.
