Sometimes, I still find myself amazed that this is all happening. Like, a few weeks ago, The 100 was everyone’s favorite show. It was my favorite show. We were all raving about how amazing it was. I was telling all of my friends about how this fantastic thing. This show was my favorite part of the week, my favorite thing to watch. I would tell my friends about Lexa, my favorite character. She was my all-time favorite character out of anything I had ever watched (still is tbh, I don’t see that changing anytime soon).
And now, Jason is one of the most hated people, if we want to keep up with our other faves from the show, we’re having to force ourselves to watch it, because it just feels like such a chore now. And Lexa is dead. Like. I still have trouble believing that it’s true. That it actually happened. That I watched her get shot only a few short minutes after seeing what we had all been waiting for. That after getting what we wanted, we had to watch as it was all just ripped from us in the worst way.
So much has changed in the last couple of weeks, and it feels as though my brain is still having trouble keeping up. Jason used to be praised, the show was adored, and we overlooked all of the flaws that it had, because we were getting representation like we had never gotten before. Now, Jason has lost over 15k twitter followers, we’re bored with the rest of the storylines, and every single thing that had ever been wrong with the show is being meticulously picked apart.
Clexa was amazing. My brain was even having trouble believing that that was really happening too. Because that kind of thing just didn’t happen on tv. So I was amazed that it was really actually happening. I should have known better. I should have known that something as wonderful as that wouldn’t last. But I let myself hope, we all did.
And sometimes, when I stop to think about it all, about just how far this show has fallen, I’m amazed that it’s actually real. I’m amazed that Jason actually fucking did that. I’m amazed that anyone ever actually thought that it would, in any way, make for good storytelling. I’m amazed that it would ever get to the point where thinking about one piece of information about this couple that I love so so much, could actually make me feel this sick to my stomach. Clexa is still my favorite thing, but now that the 100 has thrown it away, I realize that this show wasn’t as great as I had originally thought. Season 2 was it’s prime, and I remember being worried that they wouldn’t be able to get any better than that, and I guess I was right. Clexa was basically the only thing that the show improved, and then they ran that into the ground with a stray fucking bullet.
Basically, my point is, I sometimes have a little trouble wrapping my head around all that is going on. That Jason, a guy who had previously brought us such good things, would ruin this one amazing thing he had going, and have his head shoved so far up his own ass that he can’t even see that he actually fucked up in any way. It’s incredible, really, how drastic some things can change in just a short time.
