TV Equals: What can you tell us about the finale?
Lindsey Morgan: I can’t tell you that much because I just saw the screening of it and oh my gosh, it was so good, I don’t want to ruin anything. One: it is epic. It literally feels like you are watching a movie. I was like, “Am I watching Lord of the Rings here or Game of Thrones?” This is insane. It’s beautiful and so cinematic, which is awesome.
Two: it blows the entire season out of the water. If you thought the season was good the finale is just going to blow up your brain basically.
Number three: as far as plot goes, I feel like in the finale we see every character fighting for their survival. Tthe whole season they have been fighting for their survival, but especially in the finale. Everyone is fighting and dealing with their own journey of survival in their own way. Maybe physically, and maybe battling others, or the elements or each other, or themselves, but everyone is dealing with how am I going to make it through today, alive?
TV Equals: The 100 was one of this season’s biggest surprises. It is so gritty and so dark. Have you ever received a script and just went, “OMG, I can’t believe they are actually going this far?”
Lindsey Morgan: Oh yeah. The torturing Lincoln script…well no, before when they hung Murphy. I was like you hung a kid on TV, you can’t—so, yeah, that was one. Then when they tortured Lincoln, and then every script after that.

Interview with Ricky Whittle
Zap2it: Last we saw Lincoln, he got dumped by Octavia ...
Ricky Whittle: I wouldn't say dumped, come on! I believe they just went their separate ways, wouldn't you say? [laughs]
Yeah, OK, if that's what we're calling it. ... He was also planning on getting as far away from both the Grounders and the 100. How has he been dealing with splitting up from Octavia to save himself?
Well, he knows what's coming, and that's war. He's seen what the Grounders can do, as he's this experienced warrior and he obviously has seen quite a lot of battles even before the 100 came along. But now he's got these feelings and emotions that the way his people are reacting is wrong, to the point where he went against his own people for Octavia. So he knows what's coming and he doesn't want to be around for it. It's going to be savage, and that's not something he wants to be a part of anymore.
That's why he wanted to take Octavia as far away as possible, and as he was leaving, he dropped the bombshell that this is going to be the end. She's going to die here. He knows exactly what's coming and it's not necessarily just the Grounders. He dropped a few hints at different tribes that we might be witnessing in the two-part finale. It's going to be very epic and it's going to be very tragic.
I know you probably can't spoil anything, but I still have to try: Is anyone going to die in the finale?
Well I can tell you this: There is going to be a lot of loss. We've already got Finn in trouble and Clarke in a trap, so are we going to lose both of them? Are we going to lose one of them? Are we going to lose more back at the camp? Are we going to lose Lincoln himself? The finale is going to epic and not everyone will survive it, and that's all I can say. You will experience loss and tragedy, I promise.
