Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Well, damn…
“Die All, Die Merrily” was one of those episodes of The 100 that again proved this is a show that, for the most part, proudly defies deus ex machina. We were told there would be only one survivor of this battle, and indeed, that’s all we got. It was brutal and resulted in losing multiple cool characters, but it sure was compelling and exciting getting there.
Yes, if you were to guess who was likeliest to survive, it would be Octavia – though I was among those who did foolishly assume that, somehow, she wouldn’t be the only survivor. But I really like how this episode managed to sell her winning without it being “Octavia, despite only a few months training, is so awesome she beats 12 other seasoned warriors.” As Bellamy and Kane noted, Octavia didn’t need to kill 12 people, she needed to avoid being killed by 12 people, then take out whoever was left at the end. And that’s exactly what she did, only getting involved in a couple of direct fights (and in the process, pulling off a couple of her own fatalities).
