The 100: Heavy Lies The Crown

February 10, 2017 1:07 PM - Season 4, Episode 2

The burden of leading weighs heavily upon Bellamy (Bob Morley) and Clarke (Eliza Taylor) when different challenges force them to determine who will live and die. Roan is challenged for the crown.

Can we just take a moment and talk about how far Octavia has come from the first season? Like, little misfit teenager turned assassin?

I was really hoping they wouldn't be so foolish, but of course they blew up the Hydro-generator machine. Oh Bellamy.

The discussion between Clarke and Jaha was sobering, and the kind of thing that makes me never wanna be a leader.

I liked this one a lot. Looks like they're really pushing the idea that as the kids grow up, they're going to mess up in ways similar to the adults. I'm on board with that.

I did cringe at Bellamy destroying the generator, but that pretty much had to play out that way - all characterization issues aside, we're much too early in the season for Arkadia to feel safe.

Yeah, I really like how Clarke is being dumb in a way that is exactly how the adults on the Ark acted.
