2x09: Remember Me
Airdate: January 21, 2015

General spoilers

Don't look for more love triangles to sprout on the dark and life-and-death show. "Probably more like casual survival sex," Rothenberg says. "The love story is important and has its place for sure but icing on the cake is a strong word for it. It's more about survival but romance will come." X

Question: Any information on The 100? Maybe about when the reunion between The Ark adults and the remaining 100 (48) will happen? —Isabella
Ausiello: When the two groups do eventually reunite, the adults will need to listen to the kids if they want to stay alive. “We actually have a lot of good information that can help with the survival of our people,” Marie Avgeropoulos explains. “We know how this has been going and what dangers lie on the other sides of our gates.” And if/when they don’t heed The 100’s advice, the Ark survivors will “get what’s coming and they’ll learn the hard way, too. You’ll see a lot of that in Season 2.” X

"Like everything else in our show, when there is violence, people are injured," Rothenberg told us of Raven's injuries from the season one finale. "Even though she survived it, it's real and people don't just bounce back from things like that. It's going to be something that haunts her and will make her life hard for the foreseeable future. She'll have a brace on, like a badass Mel Gibson from Road Warrior brace, for I think the entire season, or at least through episode 10, which we're shooting now." X

"I will say that we will find out exactly what happens to Lincoln, or begin to find out what happens to him, in episode 5. His character takes a very dark path for at least three or four episodes or more." X

"Ultimately, if and when there is an alliance between the Grounders and Arkers, Octavia will become a crucial part of that alliance as a person who can bridge both worlds. That's a season-long storyline. She's definitely taking that role of Grounder on, first through her relationship with Lincoln and she'll befriend another significant Grounder this season. We'll see her take that journey further." X

"She's not going to witness any of [what he does], but when she does get wind of it, it does concern her, definitely. Raven senses a change in Finn." says Morgan. "She knows Finn better than anybody and she knows that's not him. There's a part of her that doesn't even want to believe it ... Finn's family and he'll always be family. "Raven definitely intervenes with Finn," Morgan adds, "but she doesn't know about it for a while." X

Executive producer Jason Rothenberg says that the Bellarke spark is definitely something the writers are aware of as well. "We love those actors and those characters, and it's definitely something that we see the way everybody else sees it," says Rothenberg. "I don't know that it'll be a romantic thing, but the people that are looking for [Bellarke] will be happy. And the people who don't care about it won't mind the way we treat it." X

“You should be worried for everyone,” Bostick confessed coyly. “Literally everyone. I can’t say who, and I know we have a lot of redshirts, but there will be some really shocking deaths this season.” He has the show’s diehard fans on his mind, as well, noting that they will be put through the ringer and that their emotions will be toyed with. He admitted, “I’m kind of worried for the fans. Don’t get attached to any character because things are going to go down.” X

Jason Rothenberg adds that this may be a catalyst for an alliance against Mt. Weather. "The realization that they're turning Grounders into Reapers ... I don't want to go too far in this answer ... it definitely plays into the bigger story and the relationships between the Sky people and the Grounders. Yes, they are going to have to find some kind of way to bridge their differences." X

Rothenberg also reveals that Lexa, the Grounder commander viewers met in the abandoned subway station prison, is going to play a huge role going forward. "She's going to factor in in a really big way for the rest of the season." X

We’re going to lose a lot of lives this season. We have a memorial wall in the writers’ room of various headshots of the actors we keep losing. We’re running out of wall. There’s going to be some huge losses and the fans are going to be shocked. It’s going to be very entertaining but very sad. X

Tftnt!

Quote:

When the show start a lot of people starting shipping them romantically (and the main pair at the time didnt have half of their fanbase) and the showrunner and crew used that a lot to create buzz and to bring more fans to the show, but after a while it was clear that they never intend to make them a gay couple and fans got really split, other fanbase starting to appears. The show got bigger. It was a mess... i dont even know how to explain how crazy the thing went but now days sterek fans are treat very badly for a big portion of the internet. With and without reason.

Oh! Teen wolf. Have never watched it but that show always seemed to have huge fanbases and ships which made the producer think that they did not need the popular one anymore. Don't know if Jason is trying to make Flarke a ship so he can create flarke shippers Lol. But it's like the 100 ships are so few and some are barely recognizable besides Bellarke.

EXCLUSIVE! 6 Things The 100's Creator Told Us About This Season

Bellarkers should be happier with this one:

"I’m not going to say it’s not going to happen. I’m just saying it’s not happening right now. The actors are incredible together and we’d be stupid to not recognize that, so we’ll see where it goes. It will happen if it’s supposed to when it’s supposed to, how about that."

taragenie · 12-03-2014, 03:01 PM

sorry, double post.

Thanks for the new thread!

Bringing this over from previous

To be fair, Clarke could sneeze on Bellamy and shippers would make a gif set and a video of it in about 5 minutes, so it's hard to really say that Jason/the writers are deliberately creating shippy scenes and then turning around and denying they're shippy. Everything about Bellarke can be interpreted as purely platonic and their story is still important just as a two people with opposite worldviews coming to an understanding and appreciation. That's obviously what Jason is going for, even though he knows that it's gonna be taken to be romantic. He's trying to give us what we want without letting go of his vision, I think.

He may not have used the word acceptable but he is trying to rationalise his actions, whether it be his own personal opinion or Finns is irrelevant imo b/c its what the writers are trying to portray

e.g.

Quote:

There’s a version of Finn’s story that ends with him being the hero, if he was right and she was really there. In the moment, he thought he was dealing with the people who murdered his friends and the girl he loves. That contributed to him snapping in that moment.

So he's saying that if Finn was successful he'd be viewed as heroic.. But he still killed kids and elderly which I don't see any heroism in that no matter who he's saving…

Quote:

Obviously Finn snapped but he’s a warrior and they’re in war right now

Again another rationalisation, saying he's a warrior so its ok

Quote:

So I think that’s going to be really hard for Clarke to reconcile for sure but he was trying to save her and I think eventually she’ll get to a place where she’s able to see that.

Again maybe not straight away but eventually Clarke the shows heroine will accept what he did and understand it… So basically Finn will be forgiven b/c he thought Clarke was there, and there lies my problem.

Leelala · 12-03-2014, 03:08 PM

sorry dp

Quote:

Raven and Clarke never went at each other, and that was by design obviously. They allowed the realization that survival was more important than whatever personal drama was playing out in the love triangle. They sort of recognized how awesome each of the other one is. That said, this season there will be conflict. There will be ups and downs in that relationship, too.

Hmm I hope the conflict wont be over Finn. I loved that in last season they didnt blame each other, but put the blame on Finn (where it belongs).

IDk. If he intend to kill Finn he is not, but if Finn keeps living i think he´ll never let go of Flarke. I never see a showrunner with such love for a couple as him!

Sehj_Delena · 12-03-2014, 03:14 PM

Another interview

..Gosh even in Jason's dreams he must be like Flarke/Bellarke, Flarke/Bellarke

I just wish Finn die alreaady now which makes me think he will never coz what I want never happens!LOL

I don't want conflict between Raven and Clarke, especially if it's over Finn and how to deal with him.

Please let the conflict be about something else.

find something real · 12-03-2014, 03:28 PM

No no no no no if there is conflict between raven and Clarke about Finn I'll be so upset

SAME. i want to Raven and Clarke to develop a fraternal relantionship. I want them like sister supporting each other and not on the fence because of Finn.

On other note: this interview to me looks like more a PR control of damage than anything else. I just dont believe he will ever write Bellarke, he just using the fans.

On other note: Curious about Jaha plotline...

taragenie · 12-03-2014, 03:31 PM

Same. Their relationship is one of my favs and I'm excited that they'll probably have a lot of scenes tonight.

I don't think so. We know how blunt Jason is, he knows he pisses fans off sometimes and he doesn't care, lol. He wouldn't have said it if he doesn't mean it.

Sehj_Delena · 12-03-2014, 03:37 PM

I think the conflict will prolly have to do with Finn's state of mind.

Interesting what Jason has to say abt episode 9. aftermath to the war.

Quote:

IGN: I was on the set of episode nine and none of your cast gave away anything, but they all just kept saying there was a lot of aftermath and things to deal with from eight.

Rothenberg: Nine is an interesting episode. I just turned over the cut of nine to the studio and [Warner Bros. TV president] Peter Roth sent me an email, which he never does -- well he has a couple of times -- with how happy he was with that one. It’s really emotional. It’s definitely an aftermath kind of episode but it’s good. I feel like so far, everybody’s operating at a very high level on this team. The writers are doing a great job expanding the universe. Production is doing wonders with the budget that we have. A lot of people think that our show’s expensive and it’s really not. We’re not even close to one of the most expensive shows on the network and yet it looks like it is. That’s one of the things I’m most proud of. James [Philpott], who’s our production designer this season, has really picked up the ball from last year and built on that instead of copying it. It’s a different universe and it’s a different show and it looks great. I couldn’t be happier with it.
