Day Trip

Finn is sooooo annoying, he cause all the conflict between characters for some stupid reasons, Finn don't deserve to be in The 100. HE IS RUINING MY MOOD WATCHING ARGGGGHG.

Although the episode is good, could be better without Finn.

Young Adult shows can be pretty tiresome, with all the immature love triangles, illogical decision-making, characters contradicting themselves, and magical escapes. And also the flawless hair. But I'm ok with all that.

What brings me here today is the guns.

The guns would have rusted solid after 97 years in a humid bunker. But wait - the writers anticipated this difficulty, and solved it rather well - by having the guns be packed in grease. That's actually believable...

...until...the Young Adults start shooting their new weapons. And guess what? The ammo is bad - again, believable - but the guns work fine. And that, my long-suffering reader, is impossible. The guns have to be meticulously cleansed of grease, or they WILL NOT WORK.

The end.

"Day Trip," the eighth episode of The 100, shifts the tone by exploring both the emotional weight and dangerous unpredictability of life on Earth. The episode focuses on Clarke and Bellamy's mission to find supplies, which leads to a mix of emotional vulnerability and unexpected psychedelic chaos.

The episode's strongest moments come from Clarke and Bellamy's deepening connection. Their interactions show both characters learning to trust each other, offering a compelling look at their growing leadership roles. The use of hallucinogenic nuts is an interesting plot device, forcing the characters to confront their inner demons, but it occasionally feels like an unnecessary detour from the larger narrative.

Meanwhile, back at camp, tensions rise as others grapple with power struggles and difficult decisions. The tension and danger remain palpable, but the pacing sometimes feels uneven, with certain emotional beats landing well while others feel a bit forced.

"Day Trip" excels in developing character relationships, particularly between Clarke and Bellamy, but it lacks the focus and urgency of The 100's stronger episodes. While not without its flaws, the emotional depth and new dynamics introduced make it a worthy addition to the series, even if it doesn't fully stand out.

I loved the episode, I liked Bellamy and Clarke bonding while traveling, the whole plot with the nuts was fun and it had a much needed break from love triangle drama

Since the 100 and the Ark got into contact, there was the Bellamy's conundrum to take care of. He was alive, and he had shoot the Chancellor. And when he and Clarke go to a depot close by, in search of anything that could help with the coming winter, someone is following them, with orders to shut him up forever...

This eighth episode of season one is a weaker effort than previous episodes. Bellamy and Clarke become closer, and with a killer on their heels, they may die out there, before getting back to camp. Raven is trying to get Finn back in a childish way, and Octavia wants to help Lincoln, the grounder, as she believes his situation to be unfair and his life on danger. But a big part of the episode gets lost in a hallucinogenic trip the people get because of some food they eat.

At least the ending gives another interesting cliffhanger. They're a little bit obvious, but fun nonetheless... maybe because they are expected.
