Okay, let's be honest. Remember 2021? Feels like a lifetime ago, right? Especially when we're talking about The 100 Season 7.
Specifically, that *elusive* UK release date. Was it even real?
The Great Wait: A Collective Trauma
We all went through it. The agonizing anticipation. The constant refreshing of Netflix.
Social media was a minefield. Spoilers lurked around every corner. It was like playing dodgeball with plot twists.
And the sheer frustration! Why did America get it first? Why couldn't we binge too?
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Here's where I might lose some of you. Ready? The 100 Season 7... was it *really* worth the wait?
I know, I know. Blasphemy! But hear me out. Sometimes, the hype builds things up *too* much.
Maybe all that waiting made us expect the greatest season of all time. And, well, reality can be a harsh mistress.
Remember the Theories?
Oh, the fan theories! They were wild. Each one more convoluted and improbable than the last.
Some were hilarious. Some were terrifying. Most were probably better than what we actually got.
We were convinced Clarke would become a god. Or that Bellamy would return as a robot. The possibilities were endless!
Where Did the Time Go?
Seriously, 2021 flew by. We were all stuck inside, searching for entertainment. And The 100 dangled just out of reach.
It's almost funny looking back. All that pent-up energy focused on a TV show release date.
We could have been curing diseases! Building rocket ships! Okay, maybe not. But still, it felt important then.
Did We Over-Analyze Everything?
Absolutely. We dissected every trailer. We examined every promotional photo. We even analyzed the actors' cryptic tweets.
We were like detectives on a mission. Determined to crack the code of Season 7's mysteries *before* it even aired.
In hindsight, maybe we should have just chilled out. But where's the fun in that?
The Ending: Love It or Hate It?
Ah, the ending. The most divisive part of the entire season. People either loved it or absolutely loathed it.
There was no in-between. It was a battlefield of opinions. Friendships were tested.
I'm not going to say which side I'm on. Because, frankly, I'm still processing it.
So, Was the Wait Worth It?
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? It depends on who you ask. Some fans were thrilled. Others were disappointed.
But one thing's for sure: we all experienced it together. The anticipation, the frustration, the eventual release.
And in the end, isn't that what fandom is all about? The shared experience, the community, the collective obsession with a fictional world. Even if that world includes The 100 and its eternally delayed UK release.
Maybe one day we will understand all the *time anomalies*. Until then, rewatching earlier seasons is always a solution.
