Damocles: Part Two

I have always found The 100 to be way above my initial expectations, but this final episode of Season 5 takes it to a whole new level. The final 5-6 minutes was science fiction at its absolute finest, up there with the best of Star Trek or even 2001: A Space Odyssey. And because I try not to supply spoilers, you will have to watch it to see for yourself.

This episode starts with the classic war for survival on planet Earth, and some of it became a bit too glorified war epic for my taste. There are some tender moments that involve Clarke and Madi and Bellamy and Octavia, and there is a ridiculous down to the wire moment that I could have done without. That ending though, quiet, thoughtful, compassionate, spiritual, moving, and so well done. It was simply some of the best television I have seen.

Wow. Just wow. That's my review. Go watch for yourself and enjoy.

This episode is the best finale I have watched for any show, ever. In 40 minutes, the writers were able to infuse all the elements of an epic storyline. I cried, then smiled, felt an adrenaline rush as time was running out, and it finally concluded with a jaw-dropping wrap up. I would have never guessed or imagined an ending like this. This was more than just unpredictability, it was innovation. I loved every second of it. I wish I can also go to "bed" til the next season airs.

For years, i was watching this TV Show. In the season 1, i saw potential. Season 2 dissapointed me a little, but it was good after all. Season 3 was good.

But the show changed. Season 4 and Season 5 can be easily compared to what game of thrones or breaking bad are / were showing us. The TV Show grew so much that it can be called a masterpiece. It deserves that. There is no weak point in season 4 and 5.

Now, talking about the episode i'm writing this review about, it was what television has to show its viewers. There is no SF movie or SF Tv Show who did it better than the 100 with this episode. For me, a huge fan of Game of Thrones, it's the best TV Episode i've ever seen. Also, a huge fan of Star Wars, LOTR, and others, i can say, in my opinion, it has the impact of a good-made movie like those i called earlier.

Once again, no weak point! It's unbelievable how good it could be! Look at the new recurring character, Madi. Her character development was awesome, ending with the Damocles: Part 2, where she was a true character, where she became a true leader, and, for us, a main character we'll love to see in the next seasons.

I think the next season will be awesome. They made this too: they settled a new story they can bring to us, one with a lot of potential. I hope it will not be repetitive (we won't see the same conflict from Seasons 1 and 2, or even 3). It has to be something new. It has to be something that will make us say: "HOW?".

In conclusion, for those who didn't watch this episode yet, do it. For those who didn't watch this TV Show yet (if there still are people who didn't), watch it! I can assure you won't regret it. Of course, it has some issues to, but, trust me, there are so few that you won't even notice them.

I have never ever cried because of a movie or a tv show, but today, I cried like a baby! Such a rollercoster of emotion. Can't wait for next season.
