    Tourture was not necessary

    Some pointless actions in this episode, the story builds but some side stories makes no sense or the decisions/reactions of the participants are hard to believe/understand.

    Everyone wants to have now in shows powerful women that take leadership but then are only masculine archetype, cannot manifest the masculine and then the feminine behaviour in a few seconds, that will destabilise a person, but we live strange times....in a decade we will see this and we will dismiss as propaganda, the same thing happened with the comunism, and many others before....

    Do they cross the line?

    "Contents Under Pressure," the seventh episode of The 100, delivers a tense and emotional hour packed with high stakes and compelling character moments. The episode primarily focuses on a life-or-death situation for Finn, while tensions between Clarke and Bellamy continue to build.

    The confined setting of the dropship creates an intense atmosphere, adding to the pressure as Clarke and Raven work desperately to save Finn. The arrival of the Grounders and the interrogation scenes with Lincoln are gripping, showcasing the show's ability to balance personal drama with action and suspense. The moral dilemmas Clarke faces, particularly her decisions under pressure, highlight the complexities of survival in this world.

    The episode also explores new dimensions of Bellamy's leadership and emotional depth, as he grapples with guilt and tries to do the right thing under difficult circumstances. However, while the character development is strong, some of the pacing feels a bit uneven, with certain scenes dragging and others feeling rushed.

    Overall, "Contents Under Pressure" is a solid episode that effectively raises the stakes and deepens the show's characters, though it may not reach the heights of The 100's best moments. Fans of the series will appreciate the tension and emotional weight, even if the episode falls just shy of greatness.

    I must admit I was close to giving up on this series but after this episode I'm gonna give it another chance. The acting which has been all over the place in previous episodes is good all around in this one and it's a tense, edge-of-your-seat episode that shows new sides to some well-known characters and also introduces an interesting new one. I do feel, though, that they need to start introducing some more characters among the 100. Surely they cant' all be happy about Bellamy's management style. But this one is definitely the the best episode so far. Let's hope the show really takes off now. The idea is great and it deserves this kind of execution

      When Clarke down on earth is trying to communicate with her mother Abby on the Ark, a storm is interfering with the signal. Sinclair shows a weather map to Abby and tells her "there's a hurricane right on top of them". The map he shows her has the coordinates 38°53'26.32"N 91°11'29.76"E, which is in China, and the picture seems to show the Gulf of Mexico area, but neither of these matches where Clarke actually is, which is near Washington D.C. the Gulf of Mexico and Washington D.C and Virginia area aren't that far but close enough to get the excess of the hurricane.
