Little late to the game--I binged all 3 available seasons this winter and just finished S3 tonight. My question is: what happened to Wick? Did I miss/forget something? I last remember him and Raven blowing up the acid tanks in Mt.W, (S2 end) and Raven asked Wick not to leave her when she got injured (or was it the other way around?) Did he die? They didn't show Raven mourning at all....I am so confused
shareThe actor was cut because he said some racist things on Twitter. There was a scene in S3 where Abby was talking to Raven about her leg and she said she "pushed Wick away" or something.
This was the perfect time for you to finish binging! The new season starts Feb 1st so you don't have to wait long.
I just binged all 3 seasons too and was wondering the same thing!
I've had a few instances, even it watching all 3 seasons in the course of a week where I lost track of characters.
I liked Wick, it's a shame if something said on Twitter cost him a job. Twitter will be the reason we're all living in space one day.
Did some digging. It turns out, there are 2 accounts for Wicks actor. 1, the official, and another one that they dont know if its his or some random person. The unknown one said racist stuff, so the man may have never done anything wrong
shareI suspect it was his account but the tweets were meant to be 'jokes'. Other members of the cast said he's got a weird sense of humour. I doubt they would have fired him unless they were fairly sure it was him.
shareThe "unofficial one", with all the racist comments, was the one the cast and writing team followed, it's not there anymore. Not the "official" one that's still up.
shareI thought the actor was great and Wick was my favorite side character, sucks that he screwed up. People need to realize that social media is social and what is posted can impact things that matter like your job.
Man I just finished all three seasons myself. This show is awesome. I was wondering the same thing about wick haha thanks for clearing that up. I wonder why the 2nd half of season 3 got such bad ratings. Granted it wasn't as dashing as the prior material but maybe it's because they killed off half of the cast, including my boy Lincoln. That was pretty lame.
shareSome crazy fans are trying to get the show cancelled because of Lexa's death so that's why those episodes are rated lower. I thought 3B was a lot better than the first half, although I agree about Lincoln. His death was executed so well, the scene was beautiful, but they could have used his character a lot better.
shareI don't understand the uproar over Lexa. I have no issues with the Clarke/Lexa relationship, I was sold on it by the time it really happened...but I thought their relationship was terrible for their respective people. It made both of them, especially Lexa, make bad decisions that risked their roles as leaders to their people.
I thought the second half of s3 actually picked up when that was no longer an issue.
I was pretty crushed about Lincoln, in a lot of ways he was the only character I felt was truly unquestionably good. Morally speaking. That was a beautiful death scene though, I agree there.
I don't understand the uproar over Lexa.
Interesting. I just watched the whole series over the last couple weeks, and kind of vaguely remembered the anger when Lexa died, but as I didn't watch the show at the time, and never read anything on it.
I just assumed it was story based and didn't know anything about the fans being baited into believing she would survive. I have a hard time jumping right to calling that situation underhanded without more information, he's running a show and trying to create talk and hype and keep eyes on the tv. He wouldn't be the first showrunner to fake an audience out in order to keep a character death a surprise. I'm sure he learned something about how to handle a younger audience after that. Just as an aside, I loved when Lexa popped up in the City of Light.
I didn't mind the non-heroic death, I actually thought that made it more tragic and perfectly reflected why they were kind of an ill-fated couple. I have to say, it was much easier to absorb and get over quickly when consuming the show in binge form. I can imagine watching week to week after that might have been frustrating.
I think there were also spoilers that showed Lexa in the finale (since she was in the city of light) so those people expected her to at least be alive until then.
But yeah I agree, I haven't seen all of the specific tweets that were baiting them but that's the showrunner's job. He wants to hype up the show, he isn't just going to say "hey, this might not end well so don't get your hopes up too high". Everyone knew the actress could only be in 7(?) episodes because of her commitment to another show, her fans just didn't want to see logic. It was extensively foreshadowed, i think in Lexa's second appearance she was already talking to Gustus about how this alliance with Skaikru will get her killed - and she mentioned her own death so many times after that as well. And you're exactly right, Clarke and Lexa never would have worked even if she stayed alive. It was supposed to be a tragic love story where they couldn't be together because of their leadership commitments. Her death highlighted that arc.
I get why people were upset about the death, it was pretty low. She's a warrior and they wanted her to have a warrior's death, not be killed by a stray bullet. But I thought thematically it worked really well. Lexa had agency constantly while on screen and that contrasted with the complete lack of agency during her death really well. Also the fact that it was a gun, so ultimately she did get killed by skaikru, by their tools. And even if you don't care about that stuff, Lexa did also get a warrior's death in the finale. She got two deaths. I for one would rather they not spend so much time over a guest star and focus more on other deaths like Wells or Lincoln, or even Monroe and Sinclair who had been there from the beginning. Lexa got more remembrance than all of them.
It's interesting that the anger after her death didn't really register with you even though you watch the show. I doubt many people know or care about it at all. Hopefully most of them got over it by now and stop rating the episodes really low.
Well, the anger DID register with me, despite not watching the show at the time. I literally just binged the whole thing for the first time over the last 2 weeks. I tried to not read about any of it at the time because I thought I might watch the show down the road and was trying to save future me from spoilers.
I agree about the focus Lexa's death(s) got compared to some of the others. Clarke was best friends with Wells for her whole life and she got over that death in about 5 minutes (so did I, but I only knew him for like 3 episodes 😃)
How about the kid that fell off the mountain while rescuing that girl from Farm Station (Sterling? and did we ever see that girl again?)
Lincoln had a pretty good death that might still have some more remembrance next season...the main grounder deaths seem to get some good focus compared to any of the original 100 kids. Finn is the only one I think really got focused on. I wish they would mention how many of the 100 are left, just out of curiosity.

Well, if Wikipedia isn't the source of truth, I don't know what is :)
Thanks. If named characters were any indication, I had assumed there were like 10 left!
A few weeks ago I did a bit of calculation, my result was 43 plus Bellamy and Raven. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2661044/board/thread/263957119# More than I expected.
"Who we are, and who we need to be to survive are very different things." - Bellamy Blake (The 100)
Yeah I don't think they even mentioned Sterling's death! That didn't bother me so much because I'm pretty sure I didn't know who he was at the time anyway lol. I still really wish they talked about Wells more. I'm hoping Jaha and Clarke have a conversation about him next season.
I'm not sure it's true but there was a rumour that they were going to write the girl saved by Sterling/Bellamy into season 3 to be Bellamy's girlfriend but the actress wasn't available. That probably would have made more sense than rushing the whole Gina thing but I guess it's not their fault they couldn't get the same actress.
That Gina thing was so out of left field! I assume they threw her in to give a reason for Bellamy's turn to the dark side so to speak when he joined Pike's crew of anti-grounders.
I'm hoping Jaha falls off a cliff lol. I really don't like his character. But you've been very nice to me (and we need more nice people on imdb!) so I will hope for a Clarke/Jaha convo about Wells before Jaha falls off that cliff 😁
Haha! I'm also kind of hoping for the cliff to be honest. But it looks like he'll keep things interesting so i'm glad he's around for now
shareHarper (the girl you were referring to) was killed by the acid fog that Emerson, the last Mountain Man had (it was the first time we saw red fog).
Lexa's death broke my heart and it saddens me to see her now on Fear the Walking Dead knowing she's playing such a meek-mannered girl (starting to show signs of improvement, though) compared to the literal bad-ass she played on The 100. Something tells me she was cast in the Alicia character on Fear based upon her performance from The 100 and eventually we'll see her evolve into a "Herra-esque" character.
Lincoln's death pissed me off the most, though, as he was against the whole "blood must have blood" premise from the beginning, ultimately showed more loyalty to (and I'm just gonna spell it the way it's pronounced) Sky Crew than he did Tree Crew. He was a great character and I presume budgetary restraints are the reason that Anya, Lincoln AND Lexa are gone.
The only shoddy CGI I've seen in the entire series was when they had Raven take the spacewalk and you could clearly see that her head (overly sized and disproportionate) was hastily added into the CGI of the spacesuit. I know they use CGI as little as possible to keep production costs down, but with a network like CW who loves to penny pinch and cut show budgets as much as possible, once CGI has been minimized, what's the next-most-expensive component to the show? The actors. I suspect Kane or Jaha will be one of the first to go next season, as they more than likely command the biggest paychecks (hence them not being in every episode).

Just a theory, but worth pointing out, nonetheless.

Harper has credits for season four episodes Echoes s4ep1 and Heavy Lies the Crown s4ep2 sooooo not dead...
IMDB the only site that sabotages it's own forum by deleting content. No wonder no ones here.
Wick was in the mountain sitting next to Shawn Mendes when it blew up. No amount of stitches could put them back together.
