Will we rise?
ilklucg23430 March 2017
With Arcadia destroyed, the survivors are planning their revenge. Clarke, Bellamy and Roan try to make their way to Abby. Raven desperately tries to find a way to survive a trip into space.

Unfortunately, this episode kind of starts doing what I hoped the season would not. Running in circles. Now it kind of seems like they're creating a new possible hope every episode just to take it away again in the end. And I am starting to not enjoy that.

In Arcadia, however, we were presented with a pretty decent story line, and yet another throwback to Pike. It was interesting to see how quickly everyone would hit their breaking point resulting in being angry enough to do anything. Octavia's descent into madness was portrayed decently as well. I kind of have an inkling where this is going... But I could be surprised. Overall, Marie Avgeropoulos did a tremendous job this time. She acted her final scene in this episode very well.

The acting was good overall as well. No really weak parts, pretty enjoyable performances.

But... The dialogue... Oh my god. Honstly? This was kind of one of the worst dialogue in this show since the first few episodes. I did not enjoy it felt like cringing a lot.

In the end, this episode was enjoyable. But definitely had it's flaws. Not the best, not the worst.

Another great episode

"We Will Rise" is a great episode that shows, again, the strengths of "The 100" and its position as a very smart (even if sometimes conventional) show. And it does in a way that overcomes the lack of focus that it is having this season.

Clarke, Bellamy and Roan have to deliver fuel to Raven for her trip. Raven, which is getting crazy at the impossibility of doing the mission with the little fuel they have left ('poor' Murphy paying for her frustration). And at what is left from Arkadia people are asking for revenge, blood and a sacrifice.

The show intertwines the three story-lines of the episode flawlessly, with great pace, amazing scenes, and great direction. It doesn't give a moment of respite, and, in the few moments where the action slows down, it gives us plot development and character study, developing the characters we have got to care for. And if that was not enough it also keeps touching on aspects about power, class, humanity and what is behind our decisions, humanizing all the characters along the way. The reasons behind the character's decisions make sense, even if you may not agree with them. That the show won't let go of these classical but always relevant questions is a plus.

"The 100" still has a lot to offer.

So so.

"We Will Rise" is a so so episode. The plot of this episode isn't really that interesting. The conflict is dull and boring. Story barely progress. boring.

Amazing episode!

The 100 does character development AND action so well. As intense as this episode was, I'm grateful the writers took time to develop relationships between the characters. Clarke was able to relax, the core group was able to bond again, and there were also some new interesting partnerships to look out for - namely Luna and Raven.

This has definitely been one of my favourite episodes of the series. The rover scene was very well executed and it certainly highlighted the intense teamwork of Bellamy and Clarke. I can't wait to see more episodes like this one.

Rising from the Dead
jimmyishere-377485 March 2021
The 100 almost died in Season 3 after all these deaths. Now I'm pretty sure it's coming back on it's own glory

9/10 - a few boring scenes but still great

Sea Mechanic isn't going to happen, Jason said Raven is straight.

Kane still feels responsible for the culling of 320 people at the Ark in season 1 since he was so certain it was the right thing to do but 2 days later they found out the Earth was survivable he took it to heart. I feel like Luna and her ppl were that "peace and love" crew that just chilled on the water, lived that "salt life" and smoked pot all day. Luna should've rolled a joint for Raven to subdue her seizures so she could concentrate on the rocket better. I have a theory that Echo may be behind the betrayal of King Roan's men. It's very obvious that Echo doesn't agree with the way Roan leads their people and, Echo is willing to do anything to make sure her people are feared by the other clans and are superior to the other clans. Considering she is power hungry, it's very possible that Echo has gotten to the point where she believes that she, or someone else she has placed her alligance to, can lead better than Roan. With Azgeda thinking King Roan is weak Echo probably thinks that now is a good time to stage a coup. I wouldn't put it past her. This just one of my theories though. I think Azgeda took the fuel because they can makes bombs with it , they mentioned it at some point in the episode when they thought trikru took the fuel and they're more preoccupied with the war than with radiation anyway . Rohan is the only one in Azgeda that really understand the danger.

From the ashes we will rise Jaha said in a previous episode this season

Fun Fact: Luna is in love with Raven.(confirmed by Luna's actress Nadia Hilker). Octavia is such an amazingly complex and dynamic character. She has such an influence on the entire story. Her pain here is so evident. She lost the one and only person who loved her and wanted her simply for being her. This episode was amazing for Octavia's character development. One of the very few CW shows where the 4th season is actually good. This is the first time Octavia has cried since Lincoln died. Have you ever noticed that since the very beginning, Octavia has never wielded a gun. She's always had a sword. So her putting a gun to his head was a powerful moment for her. I think the whole thing with Raven and Abby having effects from the EMP is just them having their own story within the main plot. Just like Bellamy dealing with who he was becoming was his own story within the main story. Also, the girl laying down in Clarke's bed is Niylah, she is actually Murphy's sister in real life. Kane is doing his best to keep order in Arkadia, but he really can't. Not after what Ilian did and I get why everyone's mad at him. All their efforts to make the Ark into a shelter was all for naught because of Ilian and his fear against technology.

a disgrace
antonsenlarsen16 March 2017
I'm sorry, but out of the handful bad episodes that the 100 has to offer, this is as low as it can possibly get.

The 100 is generally a pretty decent show, certain episodes can even compete with the top sci-fi shows like battlestar galactica and westworld.

This episode though, is so poorly written that I did not even recognize the show.

The dialogue is completely off and feels fake. A constant flow of random elements and cliché moments were thrown in my face, leaving me shivering in agony.

I just begged for this episode to stop, and finally, after 41 minutes and 42 seconds of suffering and crying, it let me go.

Please don't force me through an episode like this ever again, or I will definitely stop watching the 100 for good.
