This show had me gripped with the airing of the pilot. Interesting characters with diverse personalities, post apocalyptic setting, and great storytelling that left you wanting more with each cliff hanger. The acting was slightly mediocre but I could get past that for the story. The first and second season were gripping and well written from when they got dropped down to earth to see if it was habitable, to their adventures surviving, to meeting the Grounders and getting to know what they were all about. Unfortunately, I feel as if this show sadly went downhill with the season three storyline with everyone from space coming down to the ground, senselessly killing off beloved characters and with the whole A.I plot with the chips infecting everyone. I feel like the writing from season three took out everything I loved about the show. And not to mention, the writers have recycled the war with the Grounders storyline a couple of times now, which is frustrating and getting rather old. I tuned in to watch the season premiere of season four but unfortunately it felt more like a recap of the finale of last season with nothing pivoting happening to catch my attention enough to have to watch the next episode. I plan on remaining faithful to the show, but I'm hoping it goes up from here because I would hate to drop this show.

This episode was a bit better. I noticed that the writers are getting lazy with developing their characters, especially Jasper. The whole situation at Mt. Weather made the episode for me, with the grounders taking it over and making the rest of the Mt. Weather survivors their slaves. The battle was strong between whether to take the piece that they came to Mt. Weather for needed to secure survival for themselves and leaves the survivors submitting to the grounders for the rest of their lives, or blow up the grounders with the said needed piece and save the survivors. But once they found out a few of their friends that were presumed dead were amongst them and that the grounder that was leading the others was the one that murdered Monty's father, it felt like an easy decision for them to blow up the grounders and save the slaves. Sure they got in trouble when they went back to the Arc., but I felt that they did the right thing and will obviously find another way to survive from the supposed apocalypse. Hopefully moments like these keep occurring throughout the episodes to keep me watching.
