He can talk to her, touch her, but not reach her and through his confusion, the horror of what the ceremony is becomes apparent. For a boy finding love for the first time, this will be heartbreaking. He is a breath of fresh air, and I sincerely hope he doesn’t get beaten down like the rest. Everyone else has been through so much they are hardened and jaded. Shannon Kook(Jordan) explains the loneliness of the face behind the glass for him and then later his folks, and now Delilah with such honest vulnerability he is a joy to watch. Since the Naming Ceremony is revealed to be just another iteration of the Flame, Jordan is forced to watch as the girl who looks like the one he fell in love with, now doesn’t recognize him. Now, his first romantic relationship ends with a goodbye that is even crueler. He chose to leave them and go into cryostasis despite knowing it would mean he was saying goodbye forever. He was lonely on the ship with only his parents. He also is becoming the tragic figure of season 6. Monty and Harper created a beautiful soul worthy of their purity of spirit. Jordan gets some much-needed love as his time in space gets further fleshed out. That’s not a terrible thing if something new is brought to the common theme. The 100 season six seems to be headed the way of Keanu Reeves’ Replicas from early this year. It seems even when humans are in charge of artificial intelligence, it is used nefariously. Does Gabriel live in the Anomaly? Where and what is the Anomaly? Has he uploaded himself Matrix-style into the system rather than take over another’s body? With Sanctum’s secrets revealed this week, The Children of Gabriel are the only unknowns left to explore. The mythos behind Gabriel aka the Old Man and what the Anomaly is gets thrown out in a flurry of words and actions. In episode four, she isn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, but at least she is showing a softer side. The writers understand if she is to continue in the storyline, she needs to be something other than rage-filled.

The Octavia publicity machine is in full effect. It also was a kaleidoscopic change from angry, calloused fighter to sympathetic protector. Her time with the Children of Gabriel was a data dump of sorts. Octavia’s capture and rescue served to develop a more palatable Blodreigna. It is unfortunate that Rose, the young child of Sanctum, was collateral damage.
With these two forces of nature banding together, anything is possible. By the end of the episode, her inevitable team up with Octavia is realized. She demonstrated the practicality that is a hallmark of her personality mixed with a caring nature we didn’t know she had. Last episode, she showed tender moments with Madi that belied a softer side. Her arch as a warrior to soon to be mother has been surprising the last two seasons. Her motivations are understandable even if her full history is not. She is a multi-faceted character with traits to be admired and hated. The strategic mind is not two dimensional. She is another smart, strong woman, which The 100 both loves to highlight and writes very well. The addition of Ivana Milicevic(Charmaine Diyoza) has been good from the beginning. It is a good one and fitting for this fierce leader. Improvise, adapt, overcome is her mantra. It started very strong with Diyoza giving advice to her unborn child.
Episode Four, The Face Behind The Glass was a bit of a mixed bag.
Guilt and pleasure co-mingle in an unhealthy mix of heightened emotion that has all too real consequences. Murphy, who sadly only got a mention this week, is drowning those feelings in booze, Bellamy is drowning in guilt and lashing out at Echo, and Clarke is begging for understanding. continues to haunt The 100.Ĭourtesy of CW Network This season the theme is how the past shapes the future.
