Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
This week’s The 100 was an excellent episode that offered us some really interesting new character interactions, while showing us just how much this group is evolving and growing in fascinating ways.
Octavia’s big fight scene with that Grounder was completely brutal and completely riveting. The predictable thing would have been for Octavia to surprise everyone and best him in the end, using a tactic no one – including her foe – saw coming. Instead, the scene turned into a highly emotional and moving display of someone who would not back down but simply could not win. Her tiny moments of offense were notable, but overall, she suffered a nasty beat down, and yet she kept getting back up. You couldn’t say she went the distance, a la Rocky, given how little she was able to hurt her foe, but she certainly showed she had courage to spare. The fact that The 100 has been able to credibly take her from that girl jumping off the ship, screaming, “We’re back, bitches!” in the pilot, to this tough young woman is a testament to the show.
