The 100 (TV Series) Twilight's Last Gleaming (2014) User Reviews

Breath

[tenshi_ippikiookami · 8/10 · 26 January 2016]

Raven arrives to Earth, but Bellamy is on a fight against Clarke and Finn to arrive first to her, as he's afraid of the Ark knowing they are alive. But on Raven's chance to contact back with the Ark the lives of many up there depend, as Kane's plan to sacrifice 300 people has been approved. With lives on stake, will they be able to overcome Bellamy?

"The 100" continues to surprise. If in previous episodes they hadn't been afraid of killing off some characters we were starting to care for, while also keeping the tension and not making the series a gore-fest, in this new episode is a fight against time, with many more lives at stake than till now.

Of course, the show can't make us care about 300 people in just one episode, but they go the route of fleshing out some of the people we didn't know till now. One, two scenes, that show they are human as all the protagonists, and giving them the chance to shine makes the threat that hangs over their heads something we will care about. They are not faceless anymore.

Oh, and Finn has a problem, as he now has Ark-girlfriend and Earth-girlfriend. It's pretty obvious some tension will be rising in future episodes between them three.

And just in case we didn't have enough, it ends on a magnificent (even if foreseeable) cliffhanger.

Another Solid Episode

[slightlymad22 · 7/10 · 21 July 2019]

Plot In A Paragraph: A plan to contact the Ark is put in motion after Raven (Lindsey Morgan) crash lands on Earth. Meanwhile, Abby (Paige Turco) exposes Kane's (Henry Ian Cusick) plan to reduce the population of the Ark.

This episode was utterly heartbreaking at times, Bellamy (Bob Morley) shows the lengths he is prepared to go to to, he will literally do anything to protect his sister, and she was aghast at why he had done in order to follow her down "I didn't ask you to do that!! I didn't ask for any of this" Chancellor Thelonious Jaha (Isaiah Washington) prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice alongside his people. Deplorable Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) is still a cartoon villain with silly hair though.

The dynamic between Bellamy and Clarke (Eliza Taylor) is the main focal point of the show, he is not the selfish prick he seemed to be in the first couple of episodes and through his love for his sister and hints at back story we are seeing there is more to him and his actions. There scenes are the best acted ones, they play well off each other.

The anticipated Clarke, Finn Raven love triangle was quickly brushed over with Clarke removing herself from the equation "I was around, passibly cute and now it is over." I was expecting it to be much more prolonged and drawn out.

I found the way certain people on the ark volunteered for death very touching!! Especially the Dad who was doing it for his daughter. 3 solid episodes in a row.

Really good episode

[ououzaza · 8/10 · 4 October 2019]

This episode filled with tough decisions. the story is good and interesting. It finished the plot point of the first 5 episodes.

(spoilers) 10/10 episode!

[dillshropshire · 10/10 · 21 June 2017]

Oh my god I couldn't have asked for a better episode. This episode literally had me shed a few tears! I could've cared less about the love triangle but the ark was just so plot heavy. The thing that got me sad wasn't that 300 people died. It was that they did it WILLINGLY!The man with daughter dying just to give his daughter some air was horrifying, depressing, selfless, and beautiful. All 300+ people are more important than the ground in this episode. They gave their lives so selflessly that it made me shed some tears. And the way he smiled as he was dying before he drops the hair clip and all we can see is THAT hair clip in the center of the camera with his hand sitting motionless almost out of view. That selled it so hard. This episode really showed how far the 100 was willing to go. Amazing episode just, 10/10

From great to incredible

[jace-rynearson · 10/10 · 9 October 2021]

I think this show is underrated, it takes a few episodes to get good, but it got good by the end of episode 3, great by episode 4, and this is the point where the plot really starts moving forward, alliances are questioned, morals are made more grey, and so many interesting things happen to make it worth watching, can't wait for what's to follow.

I hate Finn

[pariisaap · 9/10 · 10 September 2021]

Finn is really disgusting . Cheating her girlfriend . I like Raven more than clarke.

Twilight last gleaming is the beginning of season ones biggest problem

[jackDee-56565 · 6/10 · 10 March 2021]

This begins the whole Clarke raven Finn love triangle which is beyond too teen drama for me and it runs through most of the season and it takes a bit out of each episode with it, the episode is good but it started a major misstep and made season one weak for it

You will see the best and worst of humanity in this show

[Neptune165 · 7/10 · 13 September 2022]

This episode always messes me up. They were supposed to contact the ship if the earth was survivable then the adults would have come down to join them but their radio was damaged during their landing that's why Raven is on the way down to use the radio in her capsule. Abby is a legit terrible person she murdered her husband over this video only to find out what a year later that he was right the whole time. I loved this show from the start too. I don't understand why people say you'll like it after so-and-so. Yes, some lines are cheesy in the first few episodes but I always took that as they were teenagers. But hey everyone has their opinions. This show is the best ever made is not like the walking dead but is kinda is cuz there's a lot off surprises will happen if you know what I mean lol wait for the fight scene and all the bloody moments this show is so underrated. I think they sent the Kid criminals down because they didn't know they would survive. If they sent Adults down their with them they would loose those adults that they might need for the arc. Also they got rid of 100 people that were taking resources from the arc. This episode and especially the volunteer and section 17 scenes really made me feel like this show had potential, also with a lot of CW shows the music with powerful scenes is so spot on. Those rockets/flares, mistakes on the ground, mistakes in space, mistakes now, mistakes before, they will learn never: apocalypse now and forever.
