We're going to answer a lot of questions and fill in a lot of blanks in Season 7, like what happened to Octavia and Diyoza ( Ivana Milicevic) when they went away for that time period. There's lots of twists and turns and reveals, and you know clearly what's on the other side of the Anomaly is going to play in a big way. Well, time is acting funny isn't it? I can say that we will pick up that story right where we left off, in Season 7. There's a bunch of things in this episode that are like obviously set up for the big - what we now know to be the big finish of the show next year, Season 7.Ĭan you say when we pick up in Season 7? Is it immediately after or can we expect a time jump? We felt pretty confident about it as we were breaking the season. We knew for a while that we were going get a seventh season. I feel like the answer to that is you have to tune in to Season 7 to find out.

TV Guide spoke with showrunner Jason Rothenberg to figure out what all of this means, and what kind of answers we can expect when the show returns for its seventh and final season.įirst and most obvious question, is Octavia dead? The 100's Jason Rothenberg Addresses the Show Ending
And the real kicker? As Octavia lay dying in Bellamy's arms, she dissolved into that same green mist that seems to make up the Anomaly before it all receded back to its original territory. Well enough, at least, to share a hug that ended with Hope stabbing Octavia in the gut.
And who should walk into his tent but a grown-up Hope (Shelby Flannery), whom Octavia seemed to know quite well.

And I won’t ruin what we see, but Octavia will be forced to choose whether to assume the role.Įric Goldman is Executive Editor of IGN TV. She needs help, and Indra, fortunately, is there. But of course, she now needs to do that and she’s a little apprehensive still. So she has this window of opportunity to lead. They respect strength and respect the rules of that institution.
She won the conclave and people are looking to her to lead them because that’s the Grounder way. Rothenberg: In terms of Octavia, when the finale starts, she’s been thrust into this leadership position. IGN: Meanwhile, Octavia’s in such a different place now, going from an outcast to the one everyone is looking to for leadership. On some levels, the story went away from it, obviously, but the chance to get back there was exciting creatively. I love sci-fi and I love the space component of the show in Season 1. IGN: I didn’t coin that term but I agree with the sentiment! I’ve been reading some reviews, including yours, and saw it was being called “Chekhov's rocket.” I don’t know if you coined that term… It was always the plan to find a bunker and also force certain people to have to go back to space. You can get below it or you can get above it. Rothenberg: When you establish a death wave that is going to render the ground uninhabitable, there are two ways to escape it. How did you decide maybe it was time to return there? The space setting was a big part of the show when it began but obviously has not been for quite a while. IGN: Tell me about bringing in even the possibility of characters returning to space. And the episode is, in real time almost, about them trying to pull it off.
It’s like that scene in Apollo 13 when they say “We gotta make something that does this out of these 12 items that weren’t meant to do that.” Here it’s a very similar thing where Raven goes over a checklist of all the stuff that has to happen in order for them to pull this off. For me, one of the cool parts about this episode is it’s a really impossible science challenge. Rothenberg: Yeah, it’s going to be hard for sure. But as far as the rocket scenario, is it safe to say that, this being The 100, things won’t be going off without a hitch for our heroes? IGN: Last week’s episode firmly established who was going to be in the bunker, while introducing how the others could survive if they can make it back to the Ark.
