Zap2it: First of all, we need to talk about that huge cliffhanger at the end. What is going on at Mt. Weather?
Jason Rothenberg: Ha! Yes. What is going on at Mt. Weather? That's really fodder for Season 2 and as we speak, I'm polishing up the outline for the first episode which starts shooting in about three weeks. I've got a very short timeline in which to write the script. And we really unpack that mystery, of course. But we have big plans for Mount Weather and you won't expect it at all. It will be 100 percent, I can guarantee, you can't predict what they're going to find there.
I love how that ending brought the series full circle back to the pilot when the kids had their mission to get to Mt. Weather. Does that mean the Grounder that speared Jasper back in the pilot was actually a Mountain Man?
I would say that it's safe to say that it's neither of them. And that doesn't leave a lot of options as to what it might be so you can probably figure it out. But that goes to the relationships between the various groups on the ground. How's that for being totally ambiguous while answering the question?

From theTVaddict:
In that eternal struggle for power between Bellamy and Clarke, it felt in the beginning of episode the Bellamy was deferring to Clarke, but then when things didn’t quite go her way, Clarke conceded it back to Bellamy. Then towards the end, there was a more defining moment where it seemed like the power shifted more definitively, and that was kind of curious.
JASON: The moment when Clarke shuts the door, she had no choice but to do that. She realized in that moment, and it was kind of the end of the season long arc, that she cannot protect everybody. She’s unfortunately sacrificing the boy she loves — Finn, not Bellamy, in that moment and the boy that she’s really come to respect and realized his importance to the group, Bellamy — in order to save as many as she could. Had she not shut the door at that moment, they all would have died. It is something that will haunt her into Season 2, for sure.
In the end it seemed like Bellamy acknowledged that Clarke was in charge was was finally willing to follow her orders; like, “Okay, you tell us what to do and we’re doing it.”
JASON: To me, the season for them is about accepting the importance of the each of them. Clarke is the leader of that group and Bellamy is the rah-rah motivator. But Clarke is the brains of the operation. Bellamy is the heart and Clarke is the brain. I’m not sure how I’d quite put it, but they need each other. Without a brain, you die and without a heart you die. One without the other wouldn’t have survived; and the group wouldn’t have survived. It really needed both of them and for both of them to come together in the finale it was so they all could make it.
