(The 100) Appreciating the fact this show was so serious and weighed moral choices, especially for a CW network show. Looking back no wonder it had me!

It’s rare to find a show that balances pure entertainment with genuine philosophical weight as well as The 100 does. I was actually revisiting some of the themes recently and realized how much of the character development had slipped my mind.

The emotional arc for someone like Jasper is a standout, but the heavy lifting really comes down to the impossible choices Clarke and Bellamy have to make. They carry so much of the burden for the group.

Honestly, it’s hard to say if any moral dilemma in the series ever topped the Mount Weather arc.

The sheer scale of that decision was brutal. I’m curious—which of the show’s moral quandaries stuck with you the most?
