Why do we even need a S5 Trailer when we already know what it’s gonna be? (to be clear: this is not real, this is just me guessing based on past trailers/tropes from trailers)
Opening shot: Clarke speaking into her radio from 4x13.
“It’s been 2,199 days since Praimfire.”
Shot switches to early CGI of a crumbled Polis and the remaining piece of the Ark in space.
Clarke again from 4x13: “Where are you?”
That loud BWAAAHHH sound from every modern trailer ever happens, and the music picks up.
Shots from the Second Dawn Bunker. Cycling through our favs. We get glimpses of Nathan and Jackson in new costumes. They’re probably making out since we need some sexy action in the trailer. We also see Gaia doing something that looks suspicious. Niylah is seen soothing Octavia. Maybe there is a new character we get to see. All of this interspersed with shots of grounders and arkadians giving wary looks to each other.
Cut to an intense conversation between one of our adult leaders (probably Indra) to Octavia. Something like
“You’re the one in charge here.” (shot of Octavia looking apprehensive, and shots of adultkru featuring: Jaha looking remorseful; Kane yelling, probably with frustration, in a group of people; Abby looking down with an unattached distance in her eyes.)
“Not Clarke.” (shot of Clarke doing something action-y, looks like she is in danger, running through the forest, probably with Madi being chased by Eligius)
“and not Bellamy.” (shot of Bellamy, stuck in space, looking remorseful by himself)
Shots are now from Spacekru. Something the fandom will jump on, but will turn out to be nothing, will be the absence of Monty’s hands in any frames. We’ll spend the remainder of hiatus zooming in on every frame trying to see if they are OK.
One of the couples is shown getting busy. Probably Harper and Monty because we got Emori/Murphy in the S4 trailer. We get a quote over-top of all of this with Bellamy wistfully saying he’s not used to doing this alone in confidence to someone else from spacekru, probably Raven, or to a picture of Clarke on the Earth Monitoring screen which will get gif’d roughly 9000 times by all the Bellarke shippers.
We see Raven throwing some sort of tool on the ground with frustration. Someone yelling “Don’t walk away from me” at Murphy whose back is turned and we see him gesture dismissively at the person yelling. Echo or Raven is shown giving moon eyes at someone. The viewers presume Bellamy, but it’s a mislead from when Spacekru unites with Eligius.
Now we get a mix of shots. The music speeds up again. Even more loud BWAAHS depending on the shot. All the shots presumably to do with how they will get to the ground/reunite. But we’ll eventually find out they again are all giant misleads.
Bellamy saying “I missed you” on a radio and we all scream thinking it’s romantic but of course it’s going to be Octavia he’s talking to.
Octavia yelling “It was my only choice!”
Someone from Eligius says something menacing like “Did you really believe I would help you?”.
The shots are faster and faster so we get clips of various scenes of people being intimidating, our faves majorly suffering, action like a fast moving rover, but almost no context.
Cuts to black, music is gone.
Clarke’s voice from 4x13 one last time:
One final BWAAAA and we get a one final CGI shot of something terrifying that none of us could guess right now without more context for the bigger plot of the season. Probably the return of Pauna.
