Season Five begins six years later, with our heroes still separated: Bellamy’s team in space, Clarke (Eliza Taylor) on the ground, and hundreds trapped in the bunker below. But when a massive prison ship descends upon the last survivable place on earth, The 100 must come together to reclaim their home. As two armies converge on one valley, alliances will shift, friends will become foes, and the march to war threatens to destroy all that’s left of the human race. Can our heroes break the cycle, or is humanity doomed to repeat the past? In this epic battle for survival, one thing is certain: there are no good guys. In the fifth season premiere, Clarke struggles to survive on a desolate, scorched earth, while her friends in space come across a long-awaited beacon of hope. (iTunes)

The episode seamlessly picked up from the finale of the last season. Just like Praimfaya, Eden threw logic out the window, but that only made it more amusing. I loved the idea of digging up a vehicle from beneath sand dunes that instantly works perfectly (let's not mention it survived a nuclear storm), only to be knocked out shortly after by another sand (or dust) storm! That had me in stitches. The abundance of live trees and the valley that somehow dodged the storm but not the radiation was amusing too. So, let’s dive into the berries and water (!!!). Also, why did the main character roast a vulture without plucking it first? What would Jamie Oliver say? The writer amusingly contradicted himself with talks about radiation levels being safe on the surface after five years, yet somehow, everything seemed fine after 42 days. What was that supposed to mean? Sure, the two main characters are Nightbloods, but what about the vulture, trees, and insects? On the bright side, it gave Eliza Taylor a chance to showcase some character acting.
