The 100 (Season 7) (1 Viewer)

That ending felt earned. In some ways, the entire series asked one long question: "Can humanity overcome its savage and tribal nature?" And the series finale provided an answer.

The final scene, in particular, I found incredibly moving. Clarke is not the best of humanity; at times, she represented the absolute worst of humanity. But she could inspire the best in humanity, sacrificed for humanity, and in the end it was nice to see that sacrifice pay a karmic reward. She got out of it what she put into it.

I thought it was a very good finale.

Not the greatest of all time, but definitely satisfactory. I really enjoyed it - especially the 'coda' (for lack of a better word).

The rest of this will be in spoilers

I really enjoyed the returnees. Unexpected but nice to see Lexa and Abby again.

The two villain deaths were wonderful - Shepherd in mid-sentence about to explain why he feels love is unnecessary, Sheidheda via BIG CANNON.

The reappearance of Blodreina (but now good) and Wannheda were nice callbacks.

Murphy and Emori transcending together - a 'blissful' departure. Although I didn't see Emori at the end, so I don't know if she really transcended and if she then could come back, having died.

Both Clarke and Raven calling out the 'beings' was nice.

Having Clarke be 'Moses unable to enter the Promised Land' was a terrific way to end (and her acceptance that she had to bear so that others wouldn't).

And the final image overlaid the show's very first image (Clarke drawing on the floor).

It was seven wonderful years, and I will miss this show. Thank goodness for Blu-Ray (fingers crossed for S7).

Your fight is over.
You are Wonkru, or you are the enemy of Wonkru. Choose.
This is how we do better.
In peace, may you leave this shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.

Murphy and Emoiri both transcended inside the mindspace; presumably the higher-level beings doing the judging view life as consciousness, so even though Emori's body was dead, as long as her consciousness survived she qualified for transcendence. Presumably, had the Flame not been destroyed, all of the past Commanders would have transcended as well.

Emori was there on the beach with the rest, except for Madi -- who apparently felt Clarke wouldn't have wanted her to come back. She was easy to miss, because she was down by the water and didn't get a close up like the series regulars did. In the screenshot below, she's the one holding the blue rope/fishing line:

My one major complaint with the final season is that Bob Morley's limited availability meant that Bellamy got somewhat shortchanged as a character. The writers did what they could, making his death the inspiration for Octavia to finally put down the sword and bring humanity together. But I still would have rather had him on the beach with the rest of them.

I have the last 4 episodes of this just sitting on my DVR and I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to finish.
