Thanks to Janna for the heads up.
Clarke (Eliza Taylors) and Bellamy (Bob Morley) have polar opposite views as to what's best for the hundred right now. How will they overcome these differences and work together?
Jason Rothenberg: I think one of the things that I love so much about our show is that both options usually are bad in terms of any decision and this episode is no different. Whether they stay or go, most likely people will die and ultimately that decision is taken out of their hands. I think one of those things that is certainly true about Clarke and Bellamy is that they've come to respect each other over the course of the season. They've come to recognize each other's strengths in terms of what one does well and the other probably doesn't. Bellamy's more of the physical, rah-rah leader and Clarke is more of the figurehead, the queen. He's her sort of knight, basically.
Raven got shot! How is this going to affect not only her chances of surviving, but also the hundred's?
Rothenberg: That definitely has huge, huge implications, not only this week, but probably if she survives in Season 2. I would say definitely it makes what [the hundred] ultimately have to do one hundred times harder because she won't be able to be the one to do it. That bullet only gets worse and worse over the course of the episode until she's essentially gone.
Murphy used the majority of the hundred's gun powder to escape. How does this affect their battle strategy?
Rothenberg: They had been in the process of building mines and they have some gun powder that they could probably convert from a mine into grenades, so they'll have certain things but not even close to what they need to defend themselves to the force that's coming for them. They're facing an overwhelming numbers disadvantage. Literally. It's not the 100, it's [the movie] 300. The Grounders are coming in such force and with such skill. The warriors that are coming are the worst of the worst. They're screwed. How they get out of this one is a big part of the story we tell in [Episode] 13 and whether they get out of it or not. I think that the thing that we come up with is pretty spectacular and not something anybody I think has seen before.
