What a way to start the season! Everything about this episode was perfect (well except for a certain someone's new love interest, but I don't think it'll last much longer..!). Madi is a great new addition to The 100 & I loved Eliza Taylor's (Clarke) acting! Can't wait to learn about what's been going on with Octavia in the bunker next week! 10/10 premiere!

This was a great opening episode. I really liked the flashbacks showing how Clarke met madi.
Eliza Taylor's acting this episode was really great also. The reveal that Bellamy and echo is the new couple this season is definitely disappointing, so there's no hope for bellarke this season. Really excited to find out more about this prison ship and the bunker. It seems they have gone full circle with the story. In season 1 the ark comes back to earth, and the grounders are the ones who are watching them and killing them. Now in season 5 this prison ship has come back to earth and Clarke is already very defensive and it shows how much most of these characters have developed since season 1. Very high hopes for this season and can't wait for more.
Great start

Clarke tries to survive on her own. The group on the ark discovers another spaceship. Prisoners arrive on earth.
I am very happy that this season stars out as strong as it did. Especially with the premieres of seasons 3 and 4, I had been a bit disappointed, but this one hit the mark. At first I had been pretty cautious. I did not know what to expect of this episode since I only liked the first six episodes of season 3 and was absolutely caught by surprise by the strong and captivating last four episodes of season 4. So I had no idea if I were able to like this one. If it continued being as strong of an episode like the last episodes had been.
And I can say, yes. The 100 keeps its strongest suit, which are the characters. We get a lot of Clarke in this episode. And that was a great choice. Seeing her trying to survive was equally exciting and heartbreaking. You really see how strong she is yet again, but you can also see that she is slowly losing it. I liked to see that contrast between strength and vulnerability, and I hope we will see a lot more of it. Eliza Taylor really is a talented actress. She nailed every single one of her lines. We see a bit of the people on the Ark as well, experiencing some new dynamics between characters me might did not expect. I can't see that I like every one of these dynamics, since one of them reminded me a lot of the premiere in season 3. But I am interested to see where they will go with it. The new addition to the cast, Lola Flanery as Madi, did a decent job as well, in those scenes we actually did see her and not a younger version. Though Lina Renna, the actress of young Madi, did a good job too.
Overall, there were no really weak links in the cast, just like I expected.
There were a few illogical scenes here and there which I do not want to spoil, but they did not bother too much.
I liked this episode and I am looking forward to more of it.

An amazing start to season 5

"The 100" is back, and it does so with a bang. "Eden" is an amazingly taut, thrilling and gripping episode that brings us back to the world of Clarke, Bellamy and Octavia and puts the basis for a new beginning after the devastating ending of the previous season.
The episode does a great job centering first on Clarke and her fight for survival after the storm and the radiation. We find a desperate and hopeless Clarke, alone, without friends or purpose, and with no idea on how she will survive till her friends come back. She tries to find a way to open the entrance and join the survivors at Second Dawn, but she soon has to give up and try to survive by herself. Pretty soon she finds a companion and we get to the moment in which season four ended, with the prisoner space ship landing on her valley. Also we get some snippets on the life Bellamy and the others are leading on their little and broken spaceship.
The plot is simple but is delivered in a great way, with good direction and solidly anchored by Eliza Taylor's performance, which is a great one, her acting keeping the viewer with their eyes on the screen. She does a great job in bringing the world and her character to life while we stay with her, and with her we get introduced to this new and desolate world, even worse that the one they were on before. It also helps that the episode gives us time to feel and understand this new world we are in, and the little breaks from it to go to the spaceship on which Bellamy and the others are feels like a perfect counterpoint to what is happening on Earth.
"Eden" does a great job of picking things up after the ending of season four while delivering, probably, the best first episode of any of the five seasons of the show. Amazing.

Clarke and what happened on the Ring 9/10
Tigerbai125 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Awesome beginning S5 I couldn't give it a 10 because Octavia wasn't in it. LOL - Clarke has a child companion now (nightblood) named Madi who she protects fiercely. Those on the Ring notice another ship also have to make a call on how to proceed. We'll have to wait for Episode 2 to see what happened in the bunker. Bellamy and Echo have something - he saved her life might have had something to do with it. I'm glad they are flashing back to tell some of the story while Clark was waiting for news from either the Ring or bunker. She never got to say goodbye to her mom. It appears Murphy isolated himself while on the Ring -- he said it was to avoid conflict, but that's a tough road to stay on for 6 years. Enjoy - I hope I didn't give too much away.
What is this?

Dead bodies that are moving, bad script writing and some awful acting. This is not the 100 as i remembered it. I'm pretty shocked of the good reviews al with high ratings considered this is in my opinion one of the worst the 100 episodes ever. The last season was still pretty cool although it didn't had the flow of the first en second season but that's understandable. After making a couple of good seasons it's hard to come up with new creative ideas and until now the failed on that point with season 5. There is no logic in the actions that the characters make especially Clarke (Eliza Taylor). Already at a couple of minutes in the episode i was kinda bored because of that and the lazy script writing. When i saw an extra getting quickly in his dead body position at 18:57 i was completely done. Then throw in some acting from Lola Flanery and voilà you got yourself a bad episode. Now i know that the cast and crew is putting some crazy effort in this tv show so that's why i give it a six.
"There are no good guys" awesome

Defying logic

Once you understand the unique physics of the show, the special relationship between time and space... and you think you got it. Everything changes, why not.
After 20 years in a radioactive world with magic food and water and with nobody aging like normal human beings, the show feels like a hot rock thrown between uncompetitive scriptwriters trying to avoid the inevitable crash of the plot, that normally happens every 15min, in every episode since season 2.
This opening would feel like 3 or 4 shortfilms smashed together trying to make sense between each other.
I do NOT understand the ultra hyped reciews of fanatic 100's
The incredible journey of Clarke
Premium-TV11 February 2021
The 100 hits all the right notes in this fantastic season premiere. Without a doubt, my favorite episode of The 100 so far.
I tend to really enjoy TV episodes that go in depth on individual characters. This one was no exception, Eliza Taylor thrives in the role of the leading character Clarke Griffin. Questions are answered as new ones emerge. I look forward to the next journey ahead.

This protagonist is a bit to fat for a post apocalyptic hungry chick.
I mean, no naming or shaming, i LOVE women that have meat on them, and everybody should be comfortable in their own bodies. Im just saying, from this perspective, if she is starving, over two months, leaving, almost, only on bugs.... you woud not look so hot.... and i mean pretty not radioactive hot, but that is a different conversation intaerly.
I cant find thid

This was such a great episode. Clarke was acting like a protective mother more than a grounder id say. She will kill ANYONE to protect Madi. Madi is her number 1 now and i adore her too, especially since she looks like a young Lexa and is nightblood. Like they were meant to be family and end up together. This season is amazing. She's trying to get inside the bunker, and if she managed to do that there wouldn't be a problem with the radiation since the nightblood solution obviously works. This season is the Absolut epic-est. My favourite moments of the season are the ones when we see what happens/happened in the bunker for 6 years. If you are still wondering who Eligius Corp is go back to season 4 episode 5 Tinder Box episode and ignore when Raven floats in the Lab instead listen closely to Jackson and Abby's conversation. They spoke of nightblood for Eligius and miners in space. Don't ask questions about the rover. Where did it come from? One day they simply had it. There is no way a large powerful vehicle like that could be powered by a few solar panels. There are hundreds of people in arkadia but the rover is always available when Clarke and her friends want to use it. Yall are being a lil annoying at this point, yall are asking realistic questions to a fictional show about ppl who can survive crazy amounts of radiation, just quit thinking like a normal human being, and just watch the show.
This season is SOOOO good
Neptune1654 October 2022

Clarke made herself a Nightblood in Becca's lab, which is how she can survive from the radiation, while Madi is a natural born Nightblood but the only 1 from her village hence why everyone else on the surface died, and it's the only livable location left on the entire planet. Though, this beg the question if there were Nightblood babies and toddler whose parents died while they initially survived the radiation but couldn't survive on their own in a wasteland? Also, to repeat what I said in the previous video, when Season 1 begins there were about 2,600 Sky People and at least 15,000 Grounders, but after the 6 years in between the end of Season 4 and the start of Season 5, there are less then 900 people left on Earth, and now the 301 people on that Eligius Prison ship. Something about the geography might have been the reason that the death wave didn't hit the valley. The show doesn't actually confirm it but given how sunk in it looks and the mountains surrounding it, it kinda just "jumped" over the valley as Clarke said. Also the WE that was mentioned when she was talking about burning the bodies was about everyone, not just Clarke. Clarke was talking about how many bodies they've burned (skaikru) SINCE reaching the ground, meaning she was talking about since the day she came down, not just her days living alone in the valley. Like for example, they burned Finn's body, Lincoln's body, Sinclair, and most likely others given how she says "I've forget how many." My favorite season. This season will also have many callbacks to season 1.
