geebsTV commentary:
The 100- Hmm, interesting end to the season! So we stick with the 8 delinquents for most of this ep, only briefly spending time with the bunker in Polis. Bellamy gets to say goodbye to Octavia, but the radiation interferes with the radio before Clarke and talk to her mom.
Indra gives Octavia the symbol of the Commander to wear on her forehead, and she gets ready to take charge of the bunker. Interestingly enough, the only significant characters we see when she gives her speech are Octavia, Indra, Niylah, and Gaia. If there were any arkers in the crowd, I don't think we see them. So, their fates are all up in the air. I mean, we know Miller got to stay, and presumably Abby, since she's a doctor and Bellamy made it sound like she was there. But we don't get any confirmation of any one else. Like Jaha and Kane were up and directing who stays and who gets dumped outside at the end of last ep, and I believe they're on the list, but who knows what happened between now and then. One or both of them might have been overwhelmed with guilt and decide to exile themselves!
We also hear some rumbling from above as Octavia gives her speech, while the 8 see Primfiya desolate Polis, so who knows if something went wrong.
Anyways, obviously, the attempt of the 8 to flee the Earth is full of problems. Monty fries his hands as he had to remove his gloves to get a piece of equipment they need. Echo freaks out at the prospect of going to space and almost kills herself. The communications panel on the rocket gets fried, so the Ring has to be activated manually from the ground.
Clarke volunteers for this, she was just supposed to hook up a tablet to a dish, which would send the instructions. Only, the dish won't align, so she has to activate manually, which prevents her from getting back to the rocket. She knows she's out of time, and radios Bellamy and Raven to leave without her while she gets the dish working, but they don't get that message. Still, they know they can't wait for her, or they'll all die, so they do end up leaving.
The gang manages to successfully make it to the ring, while Clarke is stuck on the ground, seemingly dying of radiation sickness...
cut to 6 years later! Clark is alive and well, the nightblood treatment worked. And she has a nightblood daughter! Maddie is too old to be her actual daughter, so presumably she's a nightblood she encountered post primfiya. She's had no contact with the bunker or the space station. Well, she's tried contacting both over the years, but no answer. And the gang is overdue for coming back to Earth.
She's excited when she sees a ship- only its not her friends, it a mysterious prison transport. Like what the hell, was there another space station this whole time they were unaware of?! In any case, when she sees its marked for prisoners (heh, for all she knows, maybe that's the only ship these people could get, and they're not prisoners!), she tells Maddie to hide the rover and load all the guns.
So, its like the premier, only now Clark will be the mysterious, armed grounder that these newcomers have no idea about.
But seriously, I kinda feel sorry for the Blarkers. It feels like the show is trolling them at this point. Like I'm sure they were all excited for Clarke and Bellamy to be stuck in space together for five years, prolly even about to start writing fanfic about it. But nope, not only was Clarke left behind, she hasn't been able to talk to him. And if they haven't been receiving her messages (as opposed to them hearing them and not being able to talk back), as far as the gang knows, Clarke is dead.
So Bellamy might think of moving on, and who happens to be up there, the two female characters he's been nominally involved with at one point or another, Raven and Echo. Plus, surprise relationships are the earmark of time jumps! Actually, given Octavia's protection of Niylah last ep, and the weird look Niylah gave Octavia during her speech, I'm kinda wondering if they'll be an item during his time jump!

I think Paige will never be right, but I think she'll find something. Henry on the other hand, all his dreams are crushed. Like even if he was unaware, I doubt he'd be able to go to the FBI, or have one of the careers going to that fancy school would afford him.
And as I said before, poor Stan. He'll be permanently disgraced!
