The 100 and the loss of individual autonomy (aka the Josephine incident)

SEASON 6 SPOILERS

One of the storylines of The 100 that I hate to love is the whole Josephine incident in Season 6. For those who don’t know, Josephine Lightbourne took over Clarke’s body after an AI chip holding her consciousness was inserted into Clarke’s neck against her will. Ignoring the pseudo-tv-science, I think that this situation really goes into some of the most interesting things about Clarke’s character. Through seeing into her mind (literally), we were able to see Clarke’s insecurities, her fears, her regrets. All in all, it provides a really deep insight into her mind and thoughts.

The show also does a pretty good job of looking at Clarke’s mental state as she goes through this complete loss of control over her own body. She is determined, finding out how to make Josephine tap more code onto her shoulder to let her friends know that she is alive. But, there are also times where she just seems tired, like she wants to give up.

Something about this whole storyline that I think was actually well done (as well as season 6 could get) was how this looked at Clarke’s relationship with the other characters (specifically Spacekru). It still hits me hard that Murphy was pretty much the only one to realize something was wrong with Clare (until Bellamy). Clarke was so invisible to people that only when Josephine didn’t know the language correctly did anyone, later on, realize anything. Clarke was so alienated by Spacekru after Season 5 that they didn’t notice when someone literally took over her body.

The perspective on the trauma Clarke went through that this series showed is a whole other discussion in itself. After being paralyzed by one of the Children of Gabriel, Clarke was taken advantage of. She was brought to a room against her will and she lost complete control over her body, essentially dying alone and scared. As fans of the show, we’ve seen Clarke go through some crazy stuff but that has to be one of the most horrifying things of them all to happen to her.

What really piss me off is the way i cant even look at clarke in season 7. Even pictures.

I used to love her, but just like at the start of s3, she feels to me only a shell of herself. There is no soul, only body.

Its obvious eliza did her best to play her, that is not the problem. But maybe it is because they pushed her to be too much like a robot and not human. Even in the first episode, when she cried over her mother something feels so off.

The only moment she felt really alive to me was the scene of her renuion with bellamy. You can see the light in her eyes, you can see happiness and love and peace- the beauty in humanity i think...

But than it gone again..

I can get a lot of things.. but destroying your lead on the last season?? Especially after her last lesson and the things she's been trough only few days ago (last season).

Common.. how could the writers think it is a good story anyway?

Will it ever stop bothering me?😣😭😰😢🙈🤔

Here’s why #Clarkedeservedbetter (and also why she didn’t) (tw)

(trigger warning: brief mention of suicidal thoughts of a fictional character)

While there are many characters from “The 100” that I find really interesting to talk about, none compare to how passionate I get when I’m talking about our very own Clarke Griffin. From the beginning, Clarke has had fans and haters both within the show and out. Somethings I find fascinating about this character are the constant moral conflicts she is faced with, as well as the way other characters viewed her.

On one hand, Clarke can be viewed as someone just trying to save her people. For every “wrong” action she took, she had a justification, even if that justification can be thin. She is just someone who is willing to sacrifice everything and everyone (else) for her friends and family. On the other hand, Clarke can be viewed as a character who is selfish instead of selfless as her catchphrase of saving her people implies. She can be viewed as a person who, instead of being just when she irradiated Mt Weather, did it for revenge. Or as the one who, instead of sacrificing herself by staying on Earth during Praimfaya, just wanted to be the hero.

(also, side note here. I mean selfless in the terms of “I bear it so they don’t have to” and I love that damn quote)

But there’s a flaw within this ideology. Why would Clarke, in an effort to be a hero, leave Bellamy at the fighting pits to save Madi? Yeah she’s her daughter and she wants to protect her, but that didn’t win her any favors. Instead, those who dislike Clarke may view this as a revenge against Spacekru for leaving her there or against Bellamy for putting the flame in Madi’s head (which goes against a lot of what she stands for as a character).

None of this is even taking into consideration Season 6 Episode 2. “Red Sun Rising” depicts Clarke in a suicidal mindset because of the red sun, hearing from her mother on a non-working radio that she is worthless. Would someone who’s only doing what they do for revenge or worship do something like this? Maybe. Maybe the consequences of her actions were worth it for a single moment of being “Wanheda”.

All in all, this isn’t quite what I personally think. But, it’s an interesting perspective to take on one of my favorite characters.

Hmmm so this entire season has been pointless....let's review.....the big bad ice queen, scourge of the land, was dealt with in like a span of 5 seconds. The introduction on Ontari and her rise to the throne was the most pointless of everything. She reigned for like 5 minutes before handing her people over to ALIE. Before that she brutality slaughtered a bunch of children for basically nothing since she never 'became' the commander. They killed Lexa for no reason at all. The whole 'flame' AI could have just been explained with like words. Clarke became Wanheda.....yeah still not understanding that storyline because it lasted for what an episode maybe an episode and a half? Clarke reunites with her friends to find Luna who promptly returns them. Ontari is killed....yeah okay Clarke needed her blood so the logical thing for the writers to do is kill the crazy girl. Clarke takes the flame AND the key.....like she couldn't have just taken the flame to begin with and save everyone the trouble? Monty is stabbed and survives yet Lexa dies from a stray bullet that didn't even look like it should have hit anything major. All character growth that Bellamy went through last season was flushed down the toilet, still not sure why he needed to help kill 300 sleeping Grounders and I never will. And finally Clarke once again pulls a lever to save/destroy them all....come on writers even a three year old could have done better than the mess that you called season 3. And that ending....it just cut off. Wouldn't even call it a cliff hanger....we weren't even to a cliff to hang over....we were still walking to the cliff and it ended. Had to be the worst ending to an episode since 307.

I don't usually do the Twitter trend stuff but do you guys think we should trend #ClarkeDeservedBetter instead of FTWD? I think Eliza has been kind of missed out of this whole thing and she did do an incredible job and her character is the one most affected? What do you guys think? #ClarkeDeservedBetter
