I hope so too, and I honestly think that she will not regress into season 4 Clarke. Even now, when she's stepping into Protect Madi mode and taking charge again, I feel like her approach now is different and that she'll remember her shortcomings as a leader in the past and try her hardest not to repeat the same mistakes. Plus, she's six years older now so I'm sure that also guides her way of thinking/POVs now.

I absolutely agree with you. I think the fact that she was completely transparent with Bellamy regarding her plans for Octavia was very telling.

Season 4 Clarke was very much about making the hard decisions on her own, the list is a perfect example. But I can definitely see a difference with how she's approaching different people when conflict arises in the current season.

Season 4 Clarke would have done something more sneaky or underhanded, I feel. She was pretty blunt at the end of the last episode.

Good point, girls, about her being transparent about her plan when it came to Octavia. I too felt that season 4 Clarke would have not done that and that shows her growth over the last 6 years. Though I suppose that the difference is that she’s completely aware of what season 5 Octavia is capable of and that necessitates a more direct approach.

Thanks for that.

A few more tweets from her Supanova panel at Perth:

SMH, it's like a one-second Clarke clip in this CW promo clip

Every time I watch one of those, I feel like I’m watching a Riverdale promo and nothing else.

destroyer of worlds · 06-23-2018, 09:55 AM

Me too.

It's just tiring to always see The 100 getting the shaft in these promo videos while others get tons of focus in it, but what is new?

They have done better this season it seems, but it's still not good enough. Not by far.

TaraJoyful · 06-23-2018, 10:02 AM

I've always thought it was weird how little the CW promotes The 100, considering the fact that it's way more critically acclaimed than many of their shows.

destroyer of worlds · 06-23-2018, 10:15 AM

Exactly. Well, the other two shows which get critical acclaim are Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend but I believe those are properly promoted (I can only speak for JTV though) and it sucks that The 100 doesn't get the same treatment.

Anyway, back to Eliza ... some pictures from Perth

It’s so weird. At least we did get more this season, but it’s still nowhere near what they do for the rest of their shows. I guess they just rely on fans to do the bulk of the promotion.

We do a pretty good job, I gotta say.

Ew, Eliza had to eat prune bugs? I hate prunes.

destroyer of worlds · 06-23-2018, 10:24 AM

It's not my favourite but I'm fine with prunes. The other idea (flavoured grasshoppers or something??) was even worse.

Fans do a GREAT job of promoting the show but it shouldn't be the case.

April7739 · 06-23-2018, 10:28 AM

Oh, I’ve eaten chocolate covered crickets before. Those were good.

destroyer of worlds · 06-23-2018, 10:48 AM

I don't think that I've ever eaten anything remotely exotic.

Apart from frogs.

Also, can they just outright ban some questions on the panel? I swear that poor Eliza and the rest of the cast has been asked a MILLION times who they'd bring back to the show, which character they would play if they could choose etc. The fans really need to start coming up with new questions, yo.

April7739 · 06-23-2018, 10:58 AM

That question gets asked so much! To all of them, but especially Bob and Eliza. I love that she said Jasper and Roan this time, as those are two characters who I really miss. Eliza changes her answer a lot, I’ve noticed. Jasper, Roan, Lexa, Luna . . . but good old Bob just sticks with Wells.
