How many times can the world end on a post-apocalyptic drama? Just ask The CW’s The 100. When the groundbreaking series first began five years ago, it was 97 years after the Earth was destroyed, and 100 juvenile delinquents were sent down from The Ark space station to test the planet’s surface and see, trial by fire style, if the Earth was inhabitable once more. By the end of Season 4, the remaining humans left alive were forced to retreat into a sealed underground bunker or back into space once more as the Earth suffered from a death wave of radiation from the nuclear power plants melting down, plunging the planet into its second apocalypse in a century. The future is *bleak as hell*, y’all. And yet we just can’t get enough of The 100!
With Clarke (Eliza Taylor), the de factor leader of the 100, left stranded on the Earth’s surface while her friends rocketed into space and her mom sealed underground in the bunker, Season 4 ended on an exciting flash forward six years later. She had somehow found a young Grounder girl and adopted her as her daughter. The two nightbloods (aka immune to radiation) found the only patch of green life left alive on Earth and made a home for themselves, the only two people breathing on the surface of the planet. They lost radio communication with the bunker and the Ark, so they didn’t even know if anyone else survived the second apocalypse. Until, that is, the final moments of the Season 4 finale when a prison transport ship landed on Clarke’s sacred valley, and the possibility of yet another war for survival loomed.
