ALIE is a software that was created by Becca - the same Becca who created Nightblood. Becca’s goal was to save humanity - but the problem with ALIE is that there was no humanity in her.

ALIE is run on the City of Light - swallow a digital chip and you can be transported there. However, there is no free will in the City of Light, and while the intended goal of eradicating pain and suffering is noble, in reality it’s horrifying:
- Thelonius Jaha doesn’t remember his son Wells, killed in the first season.
- Raven Reyes, although she can’t feel pain in her leg anymore, also can’t remember her ex-boyfriend and first love Finn Jones.
- Abby Griffin tries to commit suicide because ALIE told her to.
When a person takes the chip, ALIE appears before them and they do her bidding to get people to convert.
Basically, ALIE destroyed the world and nearly destroyed humanity.
I’d say none of them. There’s a thing in fiction writing I call “The Idiot Ball”. That’s when a character is written to do something stupid when the character’s past experience should inform it that what it is about to do is really stupid.
It will also make the viewer or reader complain, moan, groan, throw the book across the room, stop watching, leave the theater - or in certain cases like “The 100” continue with morbid curiosity what the writer is going to foul up next.

So take Octavia’s ‘leadership’ in the latest season. She latched onto The Idiot Ball firmly and is rushing to the end zone. She’ll allow no intelligent decision to get in her way. Monty saved the farm? BURN IT! Diyoza finally dropped her Idiot Ball and wants to find a peaceful solution? DESTROY SHALLOW VALLEY! Same ‘advice’ McCreary got from *his* Idiot Ball, and he managed to act on it - setting things up for the finale to the latest season where ignorance of anything resembling real science has finally managed to Destroy Earth.
Nearly every character on the show has been forced to pick up The Idiot Ball to lamely make entirely the wrong decision when any halfway sane person wouldn’t do that.
I’d say the least ‘idiot balled’ character was Jasper Jordan. He never was out to seize control. He lived for himself most of the time but also showed he could care about others. After falling in love with Maya in Mt. Weather, then suffering her loss - he no longer cared. Compared to the rest of the characters, the writers had painted themselves into a corner with Jasper. They couldn’t suddenly have him taking a turn like Octavia, any of the tribal leaders or anyone else bent on “My People First!”. So they gave Jasper what he wanted most of all, death.
Would any real person be so abjectly monomaniacal and greedy that with only a few hundred humans left and one small patch of livable land left, they would be willing to kill off half or more of the survivors and/or ruin their final oasis? If such a person existed in such a situation, I’d find it hard to believe that *everyone else* wouldn’t have their knives out for the idiot attempting to make humanity extinct.
A real world Octavia would have found 20 or 30 various blades stuck through her once knowledge of her plan to infest the valley with killer worms was discovered, if burning the hydrofarm didn’t prompt that.
Lexa was the only thing between the Grounders and chaos.
once she died, things began falling apart for them as they struggled to find her successor. even Clarke was an option at one point.
if Lexa was alive, she would have presented a united front and they would have dealt with the chipped people far more easily.
she would have kept the garrison surrounding Arkadia meaning murdering Lincoln would have either been a terribly stupid thing to do as it would mean Octavia while still raw and emotional, begs lexa to attack. or that she presents a show of force and it successfully scares everybody else

as for Season 4, it would have been relatively simple. King Roan would answer directly to Lexa who says that they will share the bunker. no conclave fight with Octavia. they all just pile right into it. im not sure how Lexa would handle the Dark Year. its possible she would have been driven just as insane as Octavia without Clarke around to temper her worst impulses. Tthen again without everything being in such chaos, we might have seen the space group and Clarke also in the bunker with everybody else.
if the last habitable part of Earth is still blown up, and they leave, Lexa would have handled Sanctum with alot more tact. and since Cadogan would likely never be able to get his hands on her, no transcendence.
I think at first he expected it, and then Octavia cut him. But after, they fought side-by side, and I think he thought that Octavia forgived him or just wanted to do it later, not after their fight together. So no, I don’t think so. But when it happened, he realized this, and I also think he knew, that he deserved it. I made a video where there is a season 6 scene, so if you didn’t watch that season I wanted to warn you. Here Octavia saves Pike, but also because she saw Lincoln’s situation in his.

From what I understand, Becca brought the serum to earth and injected people with it (possibly the second dawn cultists). She was ultimately burned at the stake, but we see through Clarke that injecting the Nightblood serum will make that person a Nightblood - with Clarke, it took two hours.
From there, the Nightblood became a DNA trait that passed through the generations - and of course, only a Nightblood could become the Commander because Becca, the First Commander, brought the Nightblood in the first place. She’s worshipped as a deity.
The ring isn’t spinning so they should be in freefall instead of walking around on the deck. Choose one.
- The writers are too lazy to do any research on anything to do with science.
- They just don’t care about getting anything correct about science.
- The entire show is one massive trolling operation to make the heads explode of people who want at least semi-correct science in their science fiction.
No he did not expect Olivia to kill him mainly because he never even saw it coming. He had it coming initially after he killed Lincoln however when he got killed.. he thought they were on the same team at that moment working towards the same goal however he got blindsided.
She was created by Becca and was supposed to improve the lives of human beings, but since she had been programmed poorly, she came to the conclusion the only way to do that was to lift the burden on the overpopulated Earth, which led her to hack into government computers and start world war three. As she is also directly responsible for the second nuclear apocalypse, by setting up a scenario in which the reactors would melt down, she may well have rendered the whole planet uninhabitable.
Lexa, the commander of the grounder coalition, was killed by her flame keeper, Titus, in a failed attempt to kill Clarke. The reason he did this was because he had served four commanders, none of which were able to unite the twelve clans. Including the sky people as the thirteenth clan lost her the respect of the other twelve, and he wanted to frame Murphy for the death of Clarke, which he hoped would make Lexa exterminate the sky people.
hmm. well, i remember an episode from s2 (can’t remember the exact one) but when Clarke took Carl Emerson captive (a mountain man sniper), Jackson said he would type him when he was able to take his suit off, so I’m assuming yes because otherwise how would they be certain they could use their blood?
They were all genetically engineered to survive in space. I guess they made them all O- ( the universal donor) for convenience, or it could be a founder’s effect- where everyone is descendant from a small population and are all O- (unlikely) on the Arc.
ALIE is an AI created by Becca when she was around 18–23 years old. Her goal was to make the world a better place, and she came to the conclusion that there were “too many people” and she bombed the world to achieve her goal. She ran on solar power for years until Jaha found her and brought her to Arcadia and Polis. Hope that helps 💞
It shouldn't be possible, and is one of many plot holes in a show I still find to be one of the best on television. I would say the serum must have done something other than merely change the somatic genes of the person. It must have been able to enter the gametes somehow, otherwise how could it possibly have become hereditary?
No; their father is not a character in the show, although he is mentioned in passing. He may act as a father figure to Bellamy though.
The actress was no longer available as she had another show, and this outcome solved the Where’s Lexa problem.
It's not certain, but all indicators ARE not saying yes
I sure hope so…..
Clarke, her and Marcus is by far the best leaders in the series, I forget his name but the King that died the tournament for the bunker was really reasonable, definitely doesn't get enough credit.
Ummm Bellamy and his horrible decision making😬? Again, before season 5 i wouldn't of trust that guy to walk my dog.
Octavia definitely had potential as a leader, and she pulled through with her choices and ideology maybe better then clarke. But she lost herself to the point of being irrational.
I was really disappointed of how the characters treated clarke in season 6. Clarke has made the hardest choic

I was really disappointed of how the characters treated clarke in season 6. Clarke has made the hardest choices in the show and 90% was rationally, and somewhat fair. The most damage she did was the season 5 betrayal. But everybody (specially murphy & amori) decided to judge her, ignore all the good decision she's made, & forget their own sins.
Hello dear, I think she gave the serum to the Second Dawn cultists before she died. It is possible that Bill, the leader of the cult, stole it from her and burnt her at the stake afterwards, perhaps claiming she was a deity from the heavens that wanted to save them from the radiation. As for how it became hereditary, it is possible the serum may have found its way into the DNA of the users, which is the only way in which it would have been achieved. Unless, of course, someone studied the serum and created gene therapy based on it, although that is pure speculation.
I hope this helps dear.
I guess it was what Clarke was trying to do.
Clarke was supposed to power the satellite and join the group and go back to the Ark. She couldn't make it on time.
Raven, Bellamy and others had to leave her behind. They made it to the Ark without Clarke but they saw that there was no power and they thought that Clarke couldn't do it. They were disappointed and were running out of oxygen. Clarke sacrificed herself, stayed on Earth and finally powered the satellite before her friends ran out of oxygen. That way Raven, Bellamy and others were able to enter the Ark.
there was always gravity on the ARC. this is set in 2162 probably by then they would have found a way to put gravity into spacecraft because they have antigravity on earth so why not gravity in space
In the first few series she was seventeen, after which she was twenty three, and after being put in stasis to reach Sanctum, she was a hundred and forty eight.
Clarke by a country mile. She is and always has been the one concerned with peace, and helping as many as possible. she led the attempt to get peace with Trikru even as Bellamy and others continuously tried to sabotage it.
Bellamy is a selfsh dick at first, and later on, a genocidal hawk. no.
Jasper never got a chance to lead and would be horrific at it/
Forced into the role of brutal dictator. Octavia did save the bunker from collapsing, but let it control her, turning totally psychotic and hawkish.
