Just 100
Again, with a difficult decision. Only 100 (again) can survive from Skaikru. The rest will have to give up the bunker and wait for death outside. But giving up what they believed was theirs will not be easy. However Octavia and the Grounders will not give them any other option. Or will they have?
What could have been an uneven episode, as the plot is again about choosing 100 survivors, is turned upside down by clever plot twists and great use of the characters. Kane or Jaha have their time to shine and we get to enjoy their character's development and understand the decisions they take. The episode does a great use of the set up and raises the tension slowly to a surprising ending. Sometimes it is all a little bit in-your-face, subtlety be damned, but in general, the dealing of the moral dilemmas and subjects of "The 100" is done in a great manner. The choices taken make sense and the ideas presented quite interesting.
And "The Chosen" leaves the door open for a great finale for season 4. A season that developed in the first episodes in fits and starts has reached its peak in the best possibly way.
