The 100 Rewatch ‘1x07 Contents Under Pressure’
Abby talking Clarke through how to remove the knife from Finn is incredibly stressful. Gah.
First appearance of Miller!! Who now seems to be Bellamy’s second in command (Lol he replaces his people quite quickly).
This episode reminded me of how much I miss the Dropship. Such a cool location! Especially in this episode that’s almost entirely in that location as they shelter from the hurricane.
The torture of Lincoln is something I struggle to watch… I know, they were DESPERATE to save Finn and that can make people do bad things.
When Bellamy is like, ‘let her through’ and then takes her arm. And I love the moment when he puts his hand on Clarke’s shoulder and tires to spare her from having to see what he does to Lincoln.
And then after the storm has passed, he says, “Who we are and who we need to be to survive and very different things.” and he grabs that thing out of her hand. BELLARKE AND HANDS ARE MY WEAKNESS OKAY.
Clarke waking Finn up and saying ‘hey’ to each other reminded me of Bellarke waking up after cryo. Another romantic parallel I’d never noticed before.
The whole vibe of this episode is great! A hurricane, trapped in this tin can while Clarke is trying to save Finn’s life, and also a grounder they’re trying to get answers from.
Clarke telling her mother she knows about what she did and breaks down about how Wells tried to protect her from the truth. I like how Wells death still has ramifications (at least early on it does).
On the Ark, the drama with what happened in the culling. The part that breaks me every time is when Jaha says, “I lost my son.” One of the most impactful line deliveries on the entire show.
Diana Sydney weaselling her way onto the council, obviously planning some sort of uprising.
Their plan is to get down to Earth, problem is there are only enough lifeboats for less than half of the population. The Ark is the titanic.
Very high stakes and just a solid episode!
