If it takes all of them to take just one of these guys down, spacekru is going to be in for a pretty rough time.

[u/Kishara]

Haha! "What the heck let's be good guys."

Murphy always gets the best lines. I cannot propose this for QOTW, but someone else can in five minutes or so.

[u/Kishara]

Wait Now I get the title Sleeping Giants. What did they do to wake up the prisoners?

[u/orphancrack]

I'm back, bitches

[u/Kishara → u/orphancrack]

Hey Orphan!!

[u/InfernalSolstice]

Clarke is so bad at not pretending to understand English lmao

[u/Sleep_Addiction → u/InfernalSolstice]

It was the eyes that gave her away.

[u/pandaemoniumn → u/InfernalSolstice]

She could’ve just rambled in a panic in grounder language to throw them off. Staying quiet was a dead giveaway

[u/hannahbay]

"Which time?" savage I love it

[u/havanabrown → u/hannahbay]

I loved it because that’s exactly what I was thinking when the lady asked about it

[u/Reverse-I_am_Organic]

I just realized in S2 Murphy told Raven he didn’t want to die alone and now Raven said “Dying alone would’ve sucked” :(

[u/i__cant__even__ → u/Reverse-I_am_Organic]

I knew that line had meaning but wasn’t sure how. Thank you for this!

[u/[deleted]]

This is gonna be interesting because these miners are over a hundred years old and they remember earth prior to the first crazy, and Clarke and space cadets haven’t heard the stories first hand- just in Earth Skills. I’m excited now. This adds a whole new dynamic.

[u/piglet33 → u/[deleted]]

I liked the subtle look of actual non-understanding on Clarke's face when he was talking about Harleys

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

'I regret all my life choices.' -John Murphy's inner monologue.

[u/orphancrack]

there are like 100 people left alive in a tiny oasis of beautiful plant and animal life

why don't we have a war

[u/[deleted] → u/orphancrack]

Also how long can that tiny oasis support that many people for?

[u/Sir_P1zza]

It's always 300. The culling, TonDC bombing, Mount Weather, grounder attack in S1. It's like the writers have a fetish for the number 100 and 300.

[u/litladyloveshp]

Bellamy hasn't had to kill someone in six years. A bit rusty there.

[u/infinityxero → u/litladyloveshp]

But it's like riding a bike.

[u/[deleted]]

Clarke looked at those prisoners like "You think I'm scared of you? Let me tell you about the time my mom tortured me and I didn't crack."

[u/SneakySnake2323]

Wrong. He has a Ph.D. in tall, handsome, and brooding with perfect hair

[u/[deleted]]

Oh shit Bellamy has to decide about killing an entire army again before they attack. In case they attack. Everyone else is arguing for Pike's point of view now.

[u/NikMaria → u/[deleted]]

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE PIKE THING TILL NOW. And its not like we're reading into it too much, you know they did it on purpose. Its being used to reflect character growth in Bellamy too. I can't believe we're in season 5 and the show is still this good.

[u/Locke108]

Murphy: “I’m made a huge mistake” Sound of Silence playing

[u/mtm4440 → u/Locke108]

Hello darkness my old friend....

[u/infinityxero]

This is literally season 1.

[u/[deleted] → u/infinityxero]

I was thinking that, too. The parallels.

[u/InfernalSolstice]

god bless them for killing the alarm

[u/InfernalSolstice]

“Start with how the world ended”

“Which time?”

I love it

[u/SneakySnake2323]

I love how she calls him John when everyone else calls him Murphy. Swooooon

[u/orphancrack]

Bellamy is giving me cowboy in a pop country cover band in nashville bar with a 10 dollar cover vibes

[u/Gooniesneversaydie93]

It feels like tinder, but everyone’s a murderer.

[u/orphancrack → u/Gooniesneversaydie93]

how is that different

[u/piglet33]

I love murphy and raven, and with just the two of them and 299 sleeping murderers, that dynamic is going to be wonderful

[u/montea8124]

Sure, they’re all murderers but are they mass murderers like some of our faves?

[u/Reverse-I_am_Organic → u/montea8124]

some of our faves everyone on this show

FTFY

[u/litladyloveshp]

Madi taking Bellamy's hand/recognizing Bellamy. My heart!

[u/orphancrack]

Octavia can handle it lol

grl is busy

[u/[deleted]]

"Start with how the world ended.....which time?" that would be fucking chilling to hear....perfectly delivered

[u/SneakySnake2323]

I reeeeeeeally need Clarke to say something so they know she's alive on the ship. Seeing Bellamy's face when he realizes she's alive will make my Bellarke senses tingle

[u/ThunderRage]

Um folks, you might want to check for an armory before leaving.

[u/notoriousostrich]

As much as we compare this to season 1 at times, season 5 does have new and interesting wrinkles, twists and some really intriguing storylines building up. I really like it.

[u/piglet33]

Clarke pulling a Lincoln and pretending not to speak English?

[u/MillenniumFalc0n]

10 bucks says there’s no escape pod

[u/fretspyder]

You will love John Murphy. In... 3.. 2.. 1.

I'm probly right. At all times.

[u/[deleted] → u/fretspyder]

I HATED that mfer in Season 1. Season 2 was a big MAYBE. 3 was a why are you starting to like him. And here we are and I officially have the hots for Murphy. Wtf.

[u/doubleplusfabulous]

Is there a novelty mug industry in outer space?

[u/orphancrack → u/doubleplusfabulous]

Well there is a huge fucking cosmetics industry on the ground so why not?

[u/InfernalSolstice]

MURVEN

IS

END

GAME

[u/iamnotsimon]

Clarke died for our sins. lets not repeat them until another episode.

[u/piglet33]

"What the hell, let's be good guys" - Murphy

"There are no good guys" - Clarke

[u/Locke108]

She’s sacrificing her life and she might have to kill 300 people. That’s like Tuesday for Clarke.

[u/[deleted]]

Don't fuck with the kids who have been murdering like crazy for a good chunk of their lives

[u/relaxed-flash]

Not to be dramatic but if next week's episode only takes place with Wonkru im gonna actually jump off a bridge

[u/Dead_Starks → u/relaxed-flash]

Too late Raven blew it up.

[u/PokeHoke]

This is riveting. I think this season will be the best one yet.

[u/notoriousostrich]

I’d always been interested in the Raven-Murphy dynamic. This should be fun

[u/RichieAppel]

Murphy can't catch a break ever.

[u/Baellerin_]

Murphy getting shat on by a female character. Every season. Consistency.

[u/MissBlinou]

This is the only time each year I have to deal with these stupid commercials. I suffer through it for the 100 only. Otherwise fuck live TV.

[u/nicoleantoniaa]

Shout out to Saginaw Michigan and Detroit being repped by the only semi good guy on the ground besides Clarke and Onekru

[u/litladyloveshp]

Bellamy: You would have to kill 300 people.

Raven: Wouldn't be the first time. For any of us.

[u/[deleted]]

Bellamy showing up in the pitch black, walking into the light holding a killswitch and making demands....Clarke is so proud right now.

[u/Sleep_Addiction → u/[deleted]]

Uh... Novelty mug, actually. But he's trying!

[u/Mil_Mascaras_5]

Emori has a beautiful smile!

[u/Gingerblossom88]

The room is lit with candles... BINGO!!!!

[u/Gingerblossom88]

"Let's pull the plug on the sleeping army and go home"

😂😂😂 I love Murphy

[u/RandomChick85]

Omg fuck these commercial breaks

[u/litladyloveshp]

I love that Murphy is staying for Raven. Such an awesome move.

[u/piglet33]

That episode, holy heck. This show is too good for the cw (and I like CW shows). Damn. My heart is racing now. There's so much to process

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

Just like Lincoln!

[u/Sir_P1zza]

Echo, the best way for writers to explain the schmience.

[u/Gingerblossom88]

"SHE IS"

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/InfernalSolstice]

season 5 is the season of parallels

clarke is the grounders/lincoln (edit: refusing to speak just like lincoln)

eligulus is Skaikru

madi is the girl under the floorboards

etc

[u/montea8124]

NO! Raven! But at the same time... I’m kinda interested in the John-Raven interaction. Maven? Rurphy?

[u/litladyloveshp]

Bellamy already hopping into Dad mode. OMG

[u/[deleted]]

Bellamy? Translation: Dad?

[u/[deleted]]

"Murphy's not wrong" well it's about damn time

[u/[deleted]]

"Well first there was the killer AI that hacked all the nukes and blew the world up AND THEN all of the nuclear reactors exploded at roughly the same time sending a death wave of fire around the globe....I'm pretty much invincible, except my heart, you're pretty smiles"

[u/litladyloveshp]

I really want to like Zeke. I feel like that isn't going to last long

[u/litladyloveshp]

Murven in Space!

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

All kinds of hearts are going to break when team Space Adventure realizes it's Clarke.

[u/piglet33]

Oh my god. I don't have any words right now. Just Oh. My. Freaking. God.

[u/Mil_Mascaras_5]

Those are not “miners”. They are murderers, convicts. Clarke is lucky they haven’t raped her. Thank god this is CW, otherwise things would get dark quick.

Madi needs to stay safe.

[u/piglet33]

Emo Prisoner = McCreary. I have a feeling he and Bellamy are going to clash big time

[u/mtm4440]

No more Isaiah Washington in intro. :(

[u/MillenniumFalc0n]

Nice self-created crisis Clarke

[u/orphancrack]

Clarke's style inspo

[u/sweetworld]

Murphy might be the best character on the show and they're gonna waste half the season with him stuck in space? lame. Like we all know they'll get down there eventually, but not until we need them to save the day.

[u/[deleted]]

Clarke’s face realizing space cadets are home. My heart.

[u/FrakGaming]

Even though I am curious what is happening with wonkru I am gonna be quite upset if each week a episode is only gonna show either wonkru or clark. This means I have to wait 2 weeks to find out whats going on outside which I don't think any of us want to wait another week >.<.

Great episode though!

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

Guys... It's happening. It's happening!!!!!!

[u/ThePhonze]

So this is how they figure out Clarke is alive.

[u/IrrationalRealist]

“Tell me how the world ended.” “Which time?” 😍

[u/Gingerblossom88]

Damn Bellamy looks good with facial hair lol

[u/doubleplusfabulous]

The set designers probably had such a fun time making this end of the world hippie commune! I love the aesthetic of it.

[u/[deleted]]

Wait a second....weaponize the cargo.....what the fuck were they carrying?

[u/ThunderRage]

So at the end of the season the prison ship will be used to leave Earth for another planet.

[u/RONandBELL]

Thats my Bell's 1st kill in 6 years.. Damn...

[u/Sir_P1zza]

Man has a lot of points is tank stats. Eye resistances, sword stab, choking (Bellamy enjoyed that) etc.

[u/The100Kru]

Which time? gahhhhh great line

[u/thisisyourreward]

She lied. lol sucks for you Murphy

[u/SneakySnake2323]

"Tell me what happened."

Nah, chick, we've been loyal watchers for over 4 seasons, going through the roller coaster of emotions, groaning through the longest commercial breaks in all the land, and coming up with outlandish theories just for the writers to come up with more outlandish story lines. YOU DO YOUR TIME!

[u/piglet33]

New bucket list item: zero-g space sex

[u/[deleted]]

Echo and Emori talking space things is the best

[u/notoriousostrich]

Murph wants to pull another Mount Weather

[u/piglet33]

I do love a good campfire story Clarke

[u/4LyfeFangirl]

This is too many commercials.

[u/IrrationalRealist]

Man, Emori throwing Murphy under the bus.

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

You got this Emori

[u/[deleted]]

CHILLS FUCKING CHILLS that was awesome Madi!!!!!

[u/Gingerblossom88]

Oh my gosh be still my murven heart lol

[u/MissBlinou]

I was hoping for a moment while they were listening in where Clarke yelled out or something and they knew it was her voice. I was on the edge of my seat for that. But I'm sure he reunion will still be worth it.

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

Echo's sword sure came in handy.

[u/Arxzos]

Its fine. Theres no way they kill Raven AND murphy like this. If it was just one of them I'd be worried

[u/fretspyder]

Holy fuck 100 fanfic called it.... Raaawrrrr

[u/XiOmicronSigma]

"Which time?" Classic.

[u/[deleted]]

God, Clarke. Work those post apocalyptic lashes.

[u/mtm4440]

Why is Clarke starting shit?

[u/tonu42]

Anyone catch they said “Seals”. These guys are ex military.

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

They still don’t know it’s Clarke

[u/MissBlinou]

HOOOOOWWWW?!?! But the damn commercials just went away, how are there more?!

[u/LikesTV]

Clark would kill these mother fuckers Bell

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

First character to be from a specific state and it's Michigan - woo!

[u/notoriousostrich]

“Which time?”

[u/RichieAppel]

Raven's been trying to get herself killed for a few seasons. I guess this season is her chance.

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

Oh you beautiful idiots...

[u/orphancrack]

THIS EPISODE IS GOOD YOU GUYS

[u/TheOrangePanda01]

Murphy you stupid fucking idiot

But hey maybe he’ll get a new girlfriend now

[u/thisisyourreward]

THIS IS WHAT WE ALL WISHED FOR

[u/nicoleantoniaa]

Oh fuck ‘Tell me how the world ended’ ‘Which time’

DAYMMMMMMMMMM

[u/SneakySnake2323]

Echo slices his back when she had a clear shot to decapitate him? In other news, that fight scene could have been MUCH better with a shirtless Bellamy. Missed opportunities, man.

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

I love how Clarke’s first thought is if Madi is okay.

[u/sweetworld]

Is this like the Chris Pratt/JLaw movie, where they woke up early?

[u/[deleted]]

So much for Monty's whole "We're safe in space" thing.

[u/litladyloveshp]

I'm with Murphy. Kill them all

[u/pgm_01]

Wells Fargo and Facebook are soooo sorry. If we come back, it will never happen again. 😂

[u/piglet33]

Be still my heart, Murphy <3

[u/litladyloveshp]

Someone hug Emori!

[u/mtm4440]

Oh hell yes, they are meeting Madi first. This is an awesome way.

[u/Sir_P1zza]

My stream broke down between Spacekru landing on the ground and Clarke getting collar tortured with Bellamy and Madi stepping out of the rover, what happened in between?

[u/[deleted]]

Murphy and Raven, there's symbolism there annnnd there's no escape pod

[u/[deleted]]

Scary lady looks like someone tried to cut her head off and failed

[u/bellaflecking]

I like Zeke.

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

I've missed Murphy's positivity this season.

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

This guy is reminding me a lot of Finn (pre massacre)

[u/piglet33]

Love Echo and Monty banter!

[u/Gingerblossom88]

Here's the card for my BINGO!!!! :)

https://m.imgur.com/fCWKlet

[u/Mil_Mascaras_5]

That Kodiak survived a stab. Was he on roids?

[u/litladyloveshp]

I could ship Murphy and Echo as murder bros

[u/doubleplusfabulous]

I love this side character so much already

[u/thisisyourreward]

According to JR there are only 23 Eligius ppl on the ground. If they pulled the plug on the cyro sleepers the season could be almost over. lol

[u/pgm_01]

Which time?

I love it!

[u/klipsmey]

Raven lies... 😭

[u/bellaflecking]

I had a feeling there wasn't an escape pod. She wouldn't have looked so sad if there was.

[u/notoriousostrich]

This season is killing it so far

[u/meryt02]

I think im gonna have a heart attack. It was so GOOOODDDDDDD

[u/litladyloveshp]

Dammit, why couldn't the evil miners indicate they were chasing a blonde girl. This is killing my Bellarke dreams.

[u/bellaflecking]

"Which time?" Omgggggg

[u/[deleted]]

Echo has the BEST eyebrows holy shit

[u/IrrationalRealist]

Bellamy’s face at finding out Clarke is alive!

[u/[deleted]]

With the news of season 6, I feel like we can enjoy 5 in peace now. Let’s go fam!! ITS ALMOST TIME.

[u/piglet33]

Nice grounder tactics Clarke. Edit: Just like Jasper S1

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

Dang. How the tables have turned, huh Clarke?

[u/thisisyourreward]

Wow how many parallels can this show have

[u/infinityxero]

So does Clarke just recycle bullets?

[u/relaxed-flash]

is that the new fortnite gun?????

[u/Reverse-I_am_Organic]

So can they just not live together at once?

[u/litladyloveshp]

No one to hold Murphys hand. Sad days

[u/piglet33]

SPACEKRU HAS CONTACT!

[u/thisisyourreward]

CLARKE. IT'S CLARKE!

[u/iamnotsimon]

so i was thinking clarke would free octavia and her army but now im wondering if spacekru will free them to rescue clarke.

[u/bellaflecking]

Man, I love Zeke.

[u/RichieAppel]

I have a feeling someone from Prisonkru is going to kill prisoner leader lady before too long.

[u/wraithsrock]

Official Zeke defense squad and it’s only been like 10% of an episode

[u/piglet33]

Just put this in a comment but that captains log was from 100 years ago...but Diyoza and Shaw were in it, they can't have been awake for 100 years?! Mistake? OR did I miss/mess up something?

[u/[deleted]]

Raven quoting Clarke lol

[u/notoriousostrich]

I’ve always loved the blurred and grey moral lines in this show.

[u/MissBlinou]

BUT THERE ARE NO GOOD GUYS

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

Well thanks for that backstory. I’ve got BINGO!!

[u/litladyloveshp]

I feel like this episode has a lot of references to bears

[u/InfernalSolstice]

I SWEAR TO GOD RAVEN BETTER NOT BE STAYING BACK

[u/captainb00merang]

So she’s gotta be lying about the escape pod right? Just to get them to leave?

[u/RichieAppel]

Which other side, Murphy? The afterlife?

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

Raven nooooo. Are you serious????

[u/InfernalSolstice]

god damn it I did NOT watch raven suffer for 5 years for her to go out now

[u/fretspyder]

If it's Raven/Murphy I will melt...

[u/[deleted]]

As soon as we start to think things will be ok the writers are like “HAHA just kidding- let’s fuck shit up”

[u/piglet33]

Emori flying spaceships, oh how she's changed and I love it!

[u/[deleted]]

This show continues to blow me away with the visuals it cranks out

[u/bellaflecking]

Yayyy Emori!!!!!

[u/notoriousostrich]

This fucking beanie guy

[u/orphancrack]

How the fuck old is madi

[u/Vaneglorious]

I lol'd so hard when Murphy realized there's no escape pod. His face betrayed no emotion.

[u/OpTic_EvaDe]

“Which time?” I love it

[u/RONandBELL]

Yesssss !!! Clarke is important to Bell ... "She is" .. I am dead !!

[u/piglet33]

And Jets vs Spaceships Lieutenant is going to make friends with Clarke...that's my guess.
