Somehow, the backdoor pilot is the best episode of S7!
Splarke229 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Somehow, someway.. The 100's potential prequel backdoor pilot is the best episode of Season 7 so far (it just edges out 7x05 for me). I was extremely skeptical about this episode going into it, but I'm left wanting MORE! Callie is a very compelling character & she won me over fairly quickly. I think there is so much potential here for a whole prequel show to be made from this episode, fingers crossed it does happen!

As for Clarke and our group on Bardo, I loved what we saw in the little screen time. Clarke & Raven's reactions to Bellamy's "death" were great to see. The ending with Clarke seeing Octavia & the others as Disciples now was chilling. So excited for next week's episode & the rest of Season 7!

One thing I'm concerned about however is the fact that the backdoor pilot literally is the best episode so far in The 100's final season. It makes me think that Jason Rothenberg was more concerned with getting another show picked up instead of giving a proper, great conclusion to his show of 7 years. Really hope that isn't the case & 7B knocks it out of the park.

We need more episode like this.

An episode full of info, answers to questions and Intense stories. No more filler or just no point episode please. The 100 is ending and we need more strong episodes.

Amazing episode!
tamihaze9 July 2020
This episode is somehow one of the best in the series, in my opinion. The fact that in 40 minutes they managed to create such a developed backstory for these characters is incredible and honestly leaves you wanting more. It really feels like it has the 100 spirit with it (which some backdoor pilots lack) and honestly if it was a stand alone show (not affiliated with the 100) it would be a really strong pilot.

The characters were brilliantly written, the acting was on point and the storyline was beyond clever (bonus points for tying into the main plot so well), really worth a watch and hopefully it gets picked up!

the best episode of the season
meriemchaaraoui9 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
For some reason, I was dreading the backdoor pilot of the prequel.

I imagined it would be repetitive, and that it would steal the spotlight from characters and stories we care about. It ended up being an amazingly written story, with rich characters and interesting motivations from both sides (Callie's and Cadogan's).

So many questions were answered, many evolving around Becca's journey. We also know how the first population of Bardo developped and that it was Becca who figured out the anomaly thanks to the flame.

It was so interesting to discover the character of Cadogan, who is this narcissist ego maniac, wanting nothing more but to be a god and control the world. It was so great that her daughter outsold him in the end, with the help of Becca.

The performance of the actress who plays Becca makes this episode ten times better too. The writers were able to merge this season's storyline with all the season's and it's genius. From the acting, to the little details : it got me hooked to this series and I know hope it will get picked up by a network. amazing job.

AMAZING WE NEED THE PREQUEL
jrosecoppens9 July 2020
This show never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat and it would be a mistake to not air the prequel. This prequel will give us so many answers to our looming questions. It will also give us the chance to understand the grounders and even the original people on the Ark as well. The 100 has been incredible and Jason Rothenburg has never failed to excite the fans and up his game year after year. I can only beg and hope that we get the chance to see this universe again in the Prequel it would be such an amazing show and not one I'd want to miss out on.

Amazing Episode. WE WANT THE 100 PREQUEL!!
tenorong16 July 2020
Initially, this series felt like it has explored everything there is to explore: earth is gone, and the stories on the other planets are wrapping up. However, after watching this episode, I realised that there was a whole new world to be explored, in the form of a prequel. This episode is so amazing and is literally shot like a high budget movie. In its short 40 minutes of screen time, it has managed to answer all the questions that we had since Season 1, with an interesting storyline and wonderful acting, cinematography, and directing. So many things, stories and issues that have been established in the past few seasons such as the very existence of the grounders or how the language trigedaslang was formed was explained, and everything literally comes full circle. Clearly, there is still so much to explore in the 100 world; the grounders, disciples, arkers, mountain men and the early eligius missions. All these stories can be shown, and may even be intertwined to make the series even more enjoyable. This episode is probably the best or if not second best episode in the entire show (behind the season 5 finale). I'm sure that the prequel will be amazing, so i really hope it gets picked up. Please pick it up! #WeWantThe100Prequel

This show never fails and WE NEED THE PREQUEL!
lidieth-arevalo9 July 2020
Woah! I am beyond impressed with this series and the writers / crew and cast ability to keep the quality and freshness every season! I was sad to know that it was going to end at S7, but after having watched this episode, I AM ALREADY HOOKED to the prequel! I really wish it can be picked up or at least made into a book!

Strong episode
chloeemg20 July 2020
I was kinda worried about a flashback episode, but wow I am floored. It filled in all the holes in the story we've been missing since season one. I loved seeing Becca's full backstory.

Compressed Mess
master-vader13 July 2020
This season is a mistake. Only blind fanboys would give this a 10/10. It's beyond garbage at this point. Trying so hard to compress many canceled seasons into one and failing as hard is just sad.

Amazing episode! Reminded me of the first seasons of the 100, which personally where my favorite! If this becomes a spinoff series I can see it surpassing The 100!

Fresh air
Abdulxoxo27 August 2020
Who knew that an episode without the original crew would be so entertaining? I like this episode, it just quickly tell how things went down before s1 and we finally get know Bill's background story and how he get to Bardo. I like the cast as well. But how come Clarke knows calliope since the flame is not longer in her neck? Or is it maybe you retain the memory of the last commanders even after the flame is removed? That means Madi knows about Calliope too. Just saying

Perfection - Phenomenal, as expected.
keefee-216019 July 2020
Perfection. The only thing I wish we got more was MORE of Becca. But that will be there in the prequel - which if doesn't get picked up, the CW is nuts, and I will start my own network for Jason to write and produce everything for. I can't believe we have to wait a year or more to see more of this beautiful origin story.

Best Backdoor Pilot Ever
junaidbadar-1625311 July 2020
The 100 is the one of the most underrated show. Anaconda episode is the greatest Backdoor pilot ever. The way this episode explained things about The 100 (Flame, Flamekeeper, Nightblood, how people survived, how they go out of bunker, tree crew/trikru, language...) it's totally outstanding I like the new cast, would love to watch the Prequel series to find out remaining mysteries, what did becca saw through anamoly, how they survived on land, formation of 12 clans & about tge people on ARK.

One the best episodes ever
SiphonBrew13 July 2020
I am just blown away. I have been fan of this show for past 5 years i watched season 1 at least 3 times and trying to force my GF to watch it with me. I am so glad other fans of this show gave this episode such a high rating. What a testament to the true fans of the 100. An episode that barely involved Clark and didnt have a drop of bellamy and the others, and still just a flat 10/10. Woot Woot. Man only 8 episodes left now we have to wait for the prequel.

LOVED bringing the lore into the present
gabriellevmartinez10 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episode did a phenomenal job of bringing the lore into the present. We get well rounded characters. We get reason to care about these characters and how they affect the current timeline. We get nuggets of information that DEMAND answers. I would be ecstatic about a prequel series that highlights Callie and Becca! I would really like the prequel to start well before the starting point in this episode so we get more Becca time, but then also explain a lot more about how the clans developed into what they are.

HOW DO THEY DO THIS??
Acting, storyline, easter eggs, rich set, 40 mins, engaging. This is how you make shows and this is something were many directors can learn from. Excited for the prequel! Excited for the end of the show. But sure as hell going to miss it.. Best episode ever since a long time of shows.. this raises the bar
