Hey there! I love your blog. Just a quick question, I've been hearing a lot about the vancouver leaks lately. I decided that I'd check em out finally but I've tried googling them but I can't find a whole ton of info. Have they been taken down?
Some of the videos/gifs can be seen HERE and HERE.
plotbunnyslayer replied to your post:I checked the 100's wikia and the last two...
What’s your take on Clarke’s nosebleeding and the convulsions?
The convulsion and nosebleeds might be due to the ‘war’ going inside Clarke between ALIE 2.0 and ALIE 1.0. After Clarke implants herself with the Flame and ingest the key, they will all be connected to Clarke and her have seizures while with war is going on, would make sense. ALIE 2.0 and ALIE 1.0 are communicating through Clarke’s nervous system. In addition, I believe that thats ALIE trying to kill Clarke to sever the connection. However, Lexa is there to protect her. Clarke might have the nosebleed due to being beaten up by the buisnessmen. We also see she has an injury on her side.
I checked the 100's wikia and the last two episodes are called Perverse Instantiation. I also noticed Lexa is in the last episode along with Emori. I looked up the definition of instantiation and "in programming, [it] is the creation of a real instance or particular realization of an abstraction." I also saw a twitter post with arkers and grounders together shooting what seems like a CoL scene. Could it be Alie will bring back the dead? Maybe Lexa and Emori fight past commanders and brother?
I’m not sure how accurate those episode titles are (3x15: Perverse Instantiation Part 1 and 3x16: Perverse Instantiation Part 2), but they do fit in with all of my theories about ALIE 1.0 and ALIE 2.0. Also, there is a soundtrack title called Perverse Instantiation, which helps support these episode titles. Honestly, all of this fits so sooo well with my ALIE 2.0 Theory, I’m starting to really think I’m right about most of this. :)
First off, what is Perverse Instantiation? Well, it is basically when the computer outsmarts the programmer and/or works around the ‘safeguards’ set in place by the programmer. So, with ALIE 1.0, she was programmed by Becca to ‘make life better’ but she interpreted ‘make life better’ by resetting humanity and releasing the nuclear bombs. Her skew perspective is to ‘make life better’ for humans by creating a new humanity that gets rid of pain, hate, and envy. However, we see that due to her not knowing what it means to be human, she has a skew perception and is erasing what it means to be human.
Becca’s premise in creating ALIE 2.0, was to eliminate programmer error and to prevent perverse instantiation. She didn’t program ALIE 2.0 how to think as a human or how to make life better, but instead has ALIE 2.0 learn from humans. “That thing is what will save us. A.L.I.E. 1 didn’t understand what it meant to be human, yes, but ALIE 2.0 will. It’s designed to interface with humanity on a biological level. It will understand the value of life by coexisting with us. […] It will know our wants and needs because they’re its wants and needs.” The key word is WILL. ALIE 2.0 when Becca implanted herself with the AI was an unfinished program that was being completed as she learned. “It will likely be a dormant program, that or an unfinished one.” ALIE 2.0 being implanted into many humans learns what it means to be human and the value of life from multiple sources (not just one programmer).
I think that it was important that the Flame be implanted into Nightbloods to protect it as it completes it’s code. The code wasn’t complete until Lexa. “You were right, Clarke. Life is about more than just surviving.” Love. That this the missing link to what i meant to be human. “To be commander is to be alone.” Commanders before Lexa probably never fell in love due to this notion that they have to be alone. (something I think was misinterpreted in the Grounder anthem). Love is the missing link. Love is something that can’t be quantified, it has to be felt. ALIE 2.0 felt the love by coexisting with Lexa when she fell in love with Clarke.
Becca probably put a safeguard into ALIE 2.0′s programming to only allow a nightblood to house it until it’s code is complete. This is why I think it killed all non-nightbloods before Lexa. After Lexa, the code is now complete and can be implanted into a non-nightblood (Clarke), without the safeguard killing them in favor of a having a nightblood host. Due to the code now being complete, and ALIE 2.0 knowing what it means to be human (by learning what it means to be human, it’s wants and needs are our wants and needs) it can safely override ALIE 1.0 and truly ‘make life better’ without perverse instantiation.
I think that ALIE is going to try to kill Clarke while she is in the City of Light to cut the connection between ALIE 1.0 and ALIE 2.0. Clarke will have implanted herself with the Flame and then ingested the Key to transport her to the City of Light. “The Flame will Protect [you]”…I believe that the Flame will protect Clarke from ALIE’s control and allow her to be lucid while in the City of Light. Lexa is there and is trying to keep Clarke alive in the City of Light to keep the bridge open and alive. I think it would be cool if in the final scene of ALIE 2.0 overriding ALIE 1.0, is if we have a shot of Becca and ALIE standing face to face like we saw in 3x01..
Commander McAdams: Now open the damn door so we can float this thing and get on with saving the human race. Becca: I am saving the human race. Scientist: Becca, please. What are you doing? I know you want penance for what A.L.I.E. did, but this is not the way to get it. Becca: You’re right. I do have a lot to make up for. Let me save us.
Becca when she came down to earth was to atone for what ALIE did, and her mission and everything that she has done: creating nightbloods, commanders, beliefs, etc. has been to achieve this goal. The goal to one day stop ALIE from enacting her perverse instantiation of her core commands to ‘make life better’. Becca standing infront of ALIE and then maybe stepping into her, would be a cool visual of ALIE 2.0 taking over ALIE 1.0, and Becca finally atoning for creating ALIE. It would then be a foreshadowing event to the first episode, which is a common theme in this show.
As for bringing people back from the City of Life in a physical form, that isn’t going to happen. However, I could see season 4 dealing with having these two realities. Therefore, we could have episodes with Lexa in them. I think Clarke would be implanted with the Flame still and would she could maybe be considered the Commander of Life? Commanders have been referred to as the Commander of the Blood due to having nightblood, but since Clarke isn’t a nightblood, she would not have this title. Maybe she won’t even be called Wanheda anymore. Idk what you would call a ‘Commander of Life”…Wonheda? kinda sounds like Wanheda but not. But, this is based off of the Grounders knowing that Clarke has the Flame. This could be a huge plot point for season 4. We would have to deal with the fallout of the grounder beliefs being turned on it’s head as a non-nightblood has taken the Flame. We would probably see an uprising about WHO should be in power, now that the Commander legacy has been revealed. I think season 4, if this is what happens in season 3, could have loads of potential for some seriously cool plotlines.
do you have any thoughts on memory loss coming out of the CoL? if this is a possibility for the finale and (dare i say it) clarke or lexa come out of it with amnesia because idk ALIE got upgraded to super AI if she manages to get the code...i mean we've seen jaha forget wells but under different circumstances in that he was a source of pain and grief for him but it makes me wonder...
I actually wrote about this quite a while ago in my second ALIE Update after Episode 2 when i was trying to figure out how you could live in the City of Light forever. I haven’t put much else thought into this ‘theory’ so here is the sections on that along with some of the van leaks:
Death in the real reality & still alive in the City of Light
The best explanation I have for this phenomenon is that the longer you stay in The City of Light and ‘accept’ it, your brain is downloaded onto ALIE’s server. There are theoretical scientific studies that talk about how if humans could download their brain on to a computer, they could live forever. Your brain functions by sending electrical impulses, so if you could replicate that, theoretically you could replicate someone’s consciousness. Therefore, if your ‘real body’ dies in the ‘real reality’ your consciousness has been downloaded and you can live forever in the City of Light. But, the catch is that you have to say ‘yes’ to entering the City of Light. So, Gideon’s brain and consciousness was downloaded onto ALIE’s servers that allows his consciousness to live forever ‘digitally’ in the City of Light. However, is that really being alive?
Maybe when you enter the City of Light, and ALIE starts to download your consciousness, it also erases your brain. Maybe this is the build up to the finale. Maybe they are about to destroy ALIE but then the epiphany hits that if they destroy her; everyone that is inside the City of Light might lose their memories/who they are. A person is more than just then their body.
Vancouver Leaks – why is Clarke in pain while she is in the City of Light? Isn’t there supposed to not be pain there?
ALIE says that there is no pain in the City of Light….but that is A LIE.
As mentioned, ALIE controls your body while your mind is in the City of Light. She might create pain as some sort of ‘conditioning therapy’ to train and teach the humans inside the City of Light to behave. I’m not sure what her plans are once she gets the people inside the City of Light, but her claims that the city of light is this Utopia is A LIE.
Moving on, you see Lexa grab Clarke and ask “Are you hurt?” meaning that in the ‘real reality’ Clarke’s body is fine, but Clarke believes that she has been stabbed or somehow injured. ALIE is making Clarke believe she is hurt when she isn’t. I wrote HERE, that I think Clarke is in the City of Light against her will and that is why she is in her season 1 clothes and not modern ones. I think that ALIE is trying to convince Clarke to say ‘yes’ to the City of Light. In order for the City of Light to work, you have to say ‘Yes’ – you have to be willing and wanting. But, I think that ALIE will have somehow been able to get Clarke to enter the City of Light by using people Clarke loves (hurting them possibly – think of Raven banging her head against the wall) to get her to say ‘yes’ which isn’t a free-will choice; it was a choice made under duress. But, the act of Clarke saying ‘yes’ and wanting the suffering of her friends to end was enough to send her mind into the City of Light.
Some more biblical parallels: God created humans in his image. And like their Creator, they have free-will. So, to be human is to have free-will. In order for ALIE’s plan to work she has to have the human choose – without choosing under duress – to enter the City of Light for the connection to take complete hold. Clarke enters the City of Light, but not completely because it was under duress. I think that ALIE then temps Clarke to say ‘yes’ (of her own free-will) while she is in the City of Light; tempting her like Eve in the Garden of Eden to eat the forbidden fruit. ALIE shows her a time where she was free of burdens and had no blood on her hands, which was in season 1. Remember what Clarke said in 1x01 “The ground — that’s the dream. This is reality. Reality sucks.” ALIE is giving her what she wants – to be on the Ground but not in reality because “reality sucks”. Also, it looks like the people are feeling rain on their faces with the same expression Raven had when she felt rain on her face. ALIE is using things from Clarke’s own dreams that she has to convince her to accept the lie. This isn’t Clarke’s full dream though, she wants “I see trees all around me, the scent of wildflowers on a breeze” this modern metropolis from the past is not what she wants.
Lexa is able to reach Clarke due to their ‘real human connection’, and Clarke’s entrance into the City of Light not being ‘complete’. ALIE doesn’t have complete control over Clarke’s mind or body. Clarke is able to somewhat see/feel Lexa while she is in the City of Light. Clarke is holding onto Lexa for dear life in the Vancouver leaks – I think she can’t fully see Lexa yet. There is a moment when they are on the steps where Clarke says something to Lexa and Lexa smiles and grabs her face. We think that Lexa is saying, “Your mind is already changing” or something along those lines. I think that Clarke was telling Lexa that she can see Lexa’s face; Lexa is probably a blurry figure that Clarke can barely see, but due to their ‘real human connection’ and love – she can sense her. Lexa is slowly able to draw Clarke’s mind out of the City of Light and back into her body that is in the real reality. Lexa and Clarke are each other’s anchors to the real reality.
[Side note: You might be asking why Otan wasn’t able to resist ALIE when she used his body to hold a knife against Emori’s throat. I think there are two parts to this, 1) he willingly said ‘yes’ to go into the City of Light, and 2) Otan and Emori have a brother/sister connection rather than a ‘real human’ romantic one. I see this being paralleled with Bellamy/Octavia or Bellamy/Clarke or other friends. We see in transcript that Octavia, Bellamy, and Clarke have a real band-of-brothers moment.
This is not a moment of ‘real human connection’ but a familial one – like Otan and Emori. Therefore, I think that romantic love is the only thing that can anchor a person. Love might be the thing that is able to destroy ALIE because love can’t be explained or replicated digitally. Love is a weapon and shield.]
Finale theory and Lexa being trapped in the City of Light.
Now, if we are going with this theory – which is a far stretch and I’m not sure I even believe it anymore – there are many MANY questions that arise that I simply don’t have the answers to. So, the plan is to kill ALIE and free everyone ‘trapped’ inside the City of Light. For me, I think there are three things that could happen if ALIE is destroyed:
ALIE is destroyed the connection breaks and people’s minds return to their bodies in the real reality.
The people whose minds were in the City of Light are trapped there while their bodies are alive in the real reality. So they are in a coma like state since ALIE isn’t controlling their minds
ALIE is killed and all the data downloaded for them to live forever in the City of Light is wiped from their memory; giving everyone amnesia or totally wiping away who the person is.
Now, there might be even more repercussions for killing ALIE. I could see an ‘OH SHIT’ moment arise when they find out that destroying ALIE would also be destroying a person. A person is the summation of their memories and experiences as well as DNA and certain genetic factors. If you get rid of those memories, you are essentially ‘killing’ the person; you are saving the human body but you are killing the human inside of it. So, Lexa might not be trapped inside the City of Light…she might have her memories erased. This would also fall in line with the ‘its complicated’ surrounding Lexa’s survival as well as Clexa. Lexa is her mind and her experiences, take those away….and is she still ‘Lexa’? This might be another ending to the finale that fits in with the ‘it’s complicated’ scenario. BUT!!! If Lexa was chosen to be the Commander due to her being able to resist ALIE’s mind control…idk how this would work.
I read this on twitter the other day, apparently jason told someone in vancouver that we read too much into things (this was about lexa) and the question was "we thought lexa was dead" what does that mean?
I think it means that (what i’ve been saying all along) Lexa is alive in the finale and is the real reality and Clarke is the one in the City of Light. Lexa is able to draw Clarke’s mind back into her body (a thing that ALIE usually controls) due to their real human connection (a connection of romantic love), and is able to escape ALIE’s control.
Honestly people, stop trying to say Lexa is dead. Everything points to her being alive in the finale. More here.
can you please tell me if you've seen and what are your thoughts on the leaked Vancouver video where Clarke seems to say "I love you Lexa, and I'm sorry"? if you already did, can you link me to it? i'm really curious about whether Clarke is saying that or not
Ugh. idk where that video is but, i think Clarke is saying “i can see your face” or something about her being able to see Lexa. or maybe that the pain that she is feeling inside the City of Light is starting to subside. (i think that the belief that there is no pain in the CoL is A LIE.) I think that Lexa might just be a blurry figure to her as her mind is partly in the real reality and part in the City of Light. This is why Clarke is clinging onto Lexa….she can only sense and feel her and not fully see her. Then Lexa smiles and says “you’re mind is already changing” – meaning that Clarke is drawing out of the City of Light and into the real reality.
You can find the original video HERE
Can you link to the Vancouver leaks?
i never reblogged them on my page. But if you go to @fearwanheda‘s page, she tagged all of the Vancouver stuff and put it in THIS TAG of hers.
Then all of my theories based off those leaks are HERE
Lexa still has makeup and outfit on in the finale, so that means she is still the commander. Right?
I fully believe that she is alive in the Vancouver leaks and Clarke is the one inside the City of Light. (Lexa is seeing/touching Grounder!Clarke in the real reality and not season1!Clarke -- that is why she is confused to why Clarke looks like she is in pain...there is nothing physically wrong with her in the real reality)
Getting back to your question, I think she is 100% still the Trikru Commander, but is she still the Commander of the Coalition? Idk. Is there still a Coalition? Her shoulder piece might signify the ‘Commander of the Coalition’ while her forehead piece signifies her being the Trikru Commander. But, with that said, her not wearing her shoulder piece in the Vancouver leaks could just be because it is restrictive, and not that she isn’t the Commander of the Coalition anymore. In the Vancouver leaks she is a warrior first and a commander second.
