None of that is accurate if the spy is doing her spy thing and going undercover with the disciples pretending to be on their side. If that’s what’s happening, if she killed Hope because she’s trying to convince Anders she’s one of them, then it’s not a betrayal at all. The only way your interpretation works is if she isn’t aware that the simulation is a simulation and a test. But she knows it is, doesn’t she? This is a person who has been conscious of pleasing her masters since she was a young girl. 

But it wasn’t real. She knew it was a simulation. She knew it was a test. They were WARNED ahead of time that it was a test they had to pass or they’d go back to skyring to die alone. 

When, in the simulation, Hope or Diyoza was attempting to kill everyone on Bardo, they weren’t actually doing that. No one was dying. It wasn’t real. When the person being tested chose their action, they weren’t saving or killing anyone. It was a test to see what they WOULD do. 

IF they really have been brainwashed, then perhaps it would be a betrayal. But I don’t think they are. Echo started the game right in the beginning. Before any brainwashing could happen. And they noted that the classroom WAS brainwashing. It’s only been a few weeks.

We KNOW that Echo is a spy. We’ve SEEN her go undercover and try to convince the enemy that she was with them. It was Diyoza. Who was a navy seal war hero turned traitor and terrorist. Who faked her own death to get away.

This looks the same to me. But the disciples, not used to resistance, and secure in their control of their people, don’t recognize the more subtle forms, like when our girls play the game and fake it.

Great choices, thanks for asking @thgbookprincess! This game is a lot of fun! 🤩

7. Who had the best character arc/development of the series as a whole?

I don't hesitate here in saying John Murphy. He changed so much over the years as he gradually built relationships with these people that became his family. So much of what we see from him at first is an angry kid, fighting tooth and nail to survive (and needing a family maybe more than he knows?)

To go from chaotic Murphy in S1, to the leader we see in S7... from guy who puts himself first, to someone who'd die to see Emori one last time... He came a long way. Of all the stories of t100, his is probably the most satisfying.

27. Rank the seasons from 1-7. Feel free to explain or not!

1. Season 6: This one will always hold a special place in my heart. It gave us Josephine Lightbourne and flashback!Clarke and happy moments for the Blake Siblings and we got a DOG and Christmas lights and 'NO SHE'S NOT!' desperate!Bellamy and that scene at the end where everyone is hugging!? 💛 Yes, please!

2. Season 5: I was a big fan of this one. Blodreina and the bunker was DARK but I ate it up (no pun intended). Loved the addition of Madi and Diyoza/Shaw and that we suddenly had Spacekru in the mix. The bellarke crumbs we aplenty and finale was one of my favourite episodes of the series.

3. Season 1: It's tough to beat the found family of misfits feel that we get in the first season. The dropship was an ICONIC location and those first few episodes had such interesting stories. A simpler season, but one of my faves.

4. Season 4: There was a lot of action in this season, but a huge focus on the OG delinquents too. Octavia in the conclave was the badass story I always wanted for her, and so many characters were just in their PRIME.

5. Season 3: This was the first season I really took to after quitting the pilot, lol. I was a big Lexa fan and loved that we had her back in the flame... lots of Roan... 3x02 bellarke (!!) and the plot twist with ALIE and Becca- what a story!

6. Season 7: It breaks my heart that this season is so low on the list. Season 7A was one of my very favourite, and 7B was my very least. Gah. I'll never be over all that, y'all. 💔

Guys we're officially into the second half of the final season now! I can't even imagine how much drama we're in for tonight! 😮🧡

We learn more about Bardo and what happened to the Second Dawn when they arrived I feel like they likely killed the inhabitants and lied about it tbh?

The surface looks EPIC COOL and deadly

Hope ends up a prisoner again because she can't suppress her emotions (or at least pretend like she's suppressed her emotions)

... but the other ladies do just fine bc they've been holding back their feelings fighting wars FOR YEARS

Levitt tries to help Octavia & co

And does it by faking whatever Anders asks him to do to 'sever ties' with their family

As a result, Diyoza/Echo/Octavia treat Earthkru like strangers the entire episode

Raven is already thinking up how to make another 'key' (or a different tech to fool Cadogan and the Commandos)

Clarke makes at least (1) reference that implies her questioning whether or not Bellamy is dead

And we get a heck of a microexpression from Echo/Octavia when she says it

Indra and Murphy get Emori back safely with the help of Sheidheda, but in the process his identity is revealed to Wonkru

That jerk from Sangedakru speaks up again

Murphy almost dies.

Diyoza actually dies.

We see Bellamy and Gaia again at the end

(on the same planet bc he was actually the commando trying to close the stone??)

(and the people that live there are the ones that the Second Dawn is at war with???)
