Madi clearly doesn’t think of herself as Heda anymore since the flame is gone, a change that moved Gaia as well. There are smaller questions everyone will have to live with that I’m looking forward to as well, ones that tonight’s episode hinted at.
It was also about saying goodbye to some (ah, the brief glimmer of hope that Abby was okay), and reuniting with others (we deserved every last hug and kiss we got, though Raven and Clarke’s mutual grief might have been my favorite.) In that way, it seems the tradition of The 100 season finales could be seen as transitioning from squaring off with a fatalistic moral quandary to shocking the audience with a major twist that sets up the next season, going back to the Mount Weather twist, season 4’s time jump and season 5’s new world. Pushing everything forward to get to the point where the Primes aren’t a threat and setting up the final season. Instead, this finale felt like it was more about plot and relationships. There may have been a slight attempt to revisit the season 1 crowd panic quandary an episode or two ago, but The 100’s heart wasn’t in it. Giving voice to injustice is not the problem, the injustice is. In spite of what Jordan said, while there may have been quiet before they came, there was no peace. Yes, the Primes are dead and many others died in Sanctum, but for once it doesn’t feel like that was SpaceKru’s fault. Unlike past season finales of The 100, “The Blood of Sanctum” doesn’t come with a sense of inevitable tragedy.
