We Are Grounders: Part 2

The last episode of season one of "The 100" has everything a young show could desire: characters that may die or not, some mysteries that may or may not be solved, cool action, and some missteps.

With the big fight between the Grounders and the 100 almost there, everyone of the surviving 100 is nervous and trigger happy. We will get what we expect, and a little bit more: action, desperation, some sacrifices and well rounded situations. It doesn't break any new ground, but it doesn't really need to. It all is done quite flawlessly and even if the effects are a little bit cheap, the action will satisfy any fan of the show. Probably every character has their moment to shine.

And will anyone from the Ark survive the re-entry through Earth's atmosphere? The appearance of the adults on Earth would change a lot of the dynamics of the show.

The ending reeks a little bit of other sci-fi shows, and it points for a new direction in the second season of the series. It will be for sure a change of pace, which could be interesting or maybe alienate its fans. But that's for the future...

We Are Grounders: Part 2" serves as an electrifying season finale for The 100's debut season, skillfully wrapping up intense story arcs while setting the stage for future conflicts. With its high stakes and emotional depth, this episode delivers on suspense and drama in ways that have become a staple of the series.

The episode picks up as the 100's fragile community faces an imminent grounder attack, creating a pulse-pounding showdown that showcases the harsh realities of survival. The battle scenes are gritty and well-choreographed, immersing viewers in the relentless brutality of this post-apocalyptic world. Clarke, Bellamy, and the rest of the core cast are forced into difficult decisions, highlighting their growth and resilience amid chaos. The moments of sacrifice and bravery lend genuine weight to the action, making each twist impactful.

The episode's pacing keeps the tension high, and the blend of raw emotion with intense action scenes keeps you hooked from start to finish. However, the rapid-fire pace occasionally makes certain character decisions feel a bit rushed, and some of the action sequences may push the suspension of disbelief. Nevertheless, these are minor issues in an otherwise compelling finale.

Overall, "We Are Grounders: Part 2" successfully captures the essence of The 100 - a brutal, emotional, and thrilling survival story. For fans of high-stakes drama and rich character development, this episode is a standout that leaves you eager for the next chapter.

I just started watching this show yesterday and im done with the 1st season. Loved it. Got hooked up as the season goes. Ngl the first half of this episode was funny but yeah.

For 12 episodes of building up, the storyline come to an end. Worth waiting though. This finale is better than I expect from this show. Good action, Well developed characters, and some cliffhangers.

So I watched the first season of The 100. WOW! I hope the writers got fired. These juvenile ex-cons on Earth make every bad, incomprehensible, and immoral decision and are guaranteed to take a course of action that goes against logic, reasoning, and common sense. After a while it becomes predictable and you just have to think of the total opposite of what might be right, or rational, or expected to realise that inexperienced and uneducated teenagers (or the angry parents of them who now wished they'd used contraception) wrote this godforsaken rubbish.

There are no plot twists or branches that make sense or are within the bounds of normality. No nail-biters or edge of your seat suspense cliff-hangers. Only mindblowing ineptitude and ridiculousness of Biblical proportions. 99% of the time characters fail at every level and the other 1% doesn't make up for the ludicrous storyline and unbelievable events that take place. This was like watching the Simpsons cast in an episode of Lost - from the mind of a socially challenged adolescent with a carte blanche to create the dumbest story for a dumbest story award. What a complete load of garbage from beginning to end.

1/10 because I couldn't award it a fully deserving ZERO!
