Well, that's also true, but apparently that's asking for a lot with the 100.

I’ve never lost faith, so I’m not gonna lose it now.

I have more faith now than ever. I feel like the fandom has grown (/awakened) this past weekend, I love seeing us strong and loud so I'm very curious to see where it'll go now. I think the only way is Bellarke endgame, but hey, most of us have been saying that since season 1 so.

Same. Clearly, I know that Bellarke is separate from Beliza but this has rejuvenated a very tired/jaded fandom, myself included. It feels like we keep getting beaten down so this is a turn of events, in the best way. Let's hope that the momentum continues in the show.

The show needed a boost and some momentum like this. We’ve had that dark cloud hanging over us for a while, and this just brightened things up. Happiest news in the fandom ever, tbh.

If the CW was smart, they’d promote season 7 with a Bellarke-only promo (I.e. serpent promo but just Bellarke). And they’d do an awesome Bellarke promo poster for the season.

I never thought there would be any acceptable endgame other than Bellarke, and that’s even more true now than ever before.

Oh please. Judging from all the posts I saw this weekend among the lines of "I ship Bellarke and used to watch the show.... " So many people would be invested again.


What is a non-sadistic way to say that I loved seeing Bellamy's grief for Clarke?

April7739

I guess kind of what we’ve been saying on the Bellamy thread on the other board, that his perspective in this episode was also the audience’s perspective, so it was great to see that grief. Especially since no one else (besides Madi now, too) really seems to be grieving. Poor Clarke.

Sooo many people would be invested again.

Bellamy's pain in this episode ... so good.

And yes, honestly Beliza happening takes the sting away if we really don't get canon Bellarke (but I still want it). A lot of people got disheartened and tired of the baiting so if it's a Bellarke only promo, it would definitely generate a lot of interest again.

he was mourning so deeply!

April7739

I loved it. I feel bad for saying I loved it, but I did. Kind of gives us an idea of what it was like for him in space, too. I can see him holding it together for the others and then slipping off to mourn on his own like he did in this episode.

wickedrum

I know what you mean. Actually, I would have liked to see more of that.

April7739

I’m interested to see what happens from here. Trying not to get my hopes up, but a really good episode like the last one makes that hard!

destroyer of worlds

I'm SO glad that we get to see mourning!Bellamy now, especially since we didn't get to see it the first time around.

April7739

Yes, it's very important.

I love episodes that we get to see through Bellamy's eyes, too. This one reminds me of an episode like 4x11, where we were totally empathizing with him.

I love the fact that Clarke has a drawing of Bellamy hanging upside down in his underwear in her mind. Me, too, Clarke. Me, too.

madness

And one of the other drawings is from when he lifted his shirt. I love Clarke's priorities.


It was so essential to see Bellamy grieving, I think, for everyone. For the characters so they realize these people did something terrible and if war comes from it.... they had it coming. And for the viewer to truly see the impact that loss had on Bellamy.


The script though. The hardest thing Bellamy had to do was not avenge Clarke. I'm ok. I'm fine.
