ThisThe 100review contains spoilers.

Big, big spoilers.

The 100Season 3 Episode 7

The 100has become quite adept at throwing curveballs at its viewers.

In Thirteen, Clarke bears witness to another pivotal death.

Alie is an A.I., as we already know, invented by a woman named Becca.

Its here that Becca continues to develop an improved version of Alie.

Where Alie 1 failed, Alie 2 will succeed, or so Beccas thinking goes.

But her colleagues arent as optimistic about her research.

Which brings us to Titus.

What was once an essential part of Beccas research as become a holy relic to Lexas people.

Murphy knows nothing about their mythologyhe only knows the fateful events of Unity Day as fact.

But to Tituss ears, Murphys recitation of history is blasphemy.

This is an important distinction between the two cultures, between fact and mythology.

That the destruction of Polaris is their shared history is impossible for Titus to comprehend.

Dealing with a heretic isnt his most pressing problem, though.

For him, Clarkes continued presence in Polis is a threat to Lexas effectiveness as a commander.

That blood mustnothave blood is not only failed diplomacy, its a kind of sacrilege.

In the end, her choosing peace over vengeance costs Lexa her life.

Her last moments with Clarke are emotional and effective.

But as Lexa reminds Clarke with her dying breath, life is about more than just survival.

Which makes Becca the first commander.

And I for one cant wait to see whereThe 100goes from here.

The rise of Grounder culture and language also seems to develop in too short of a time.

How did Clarke not see Lexas back tattoo sooner?

A quibble, but theyd been intimate before.

And speaking of which, their reconciliation was bittersweet but necessary.

Eliza Taylor was great in tonights episode, portraying Clarkes inner strength as both an asset and a liability.

Shes good at saving other people, but shes in desperate need of healing herself.

An important correction is in order.

As some readers pointed out, I was incorrect.

Polaris was discussed in the first season.

Heres to more reader input in the futureits always appreciated.
