Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 1, the 125 year wait is over. Well not for us exactly, but it has been quite some time since we last checked in on some of our favorite characters. It looks like it’s time for them to start over and everything seems a little bit familiar, but danger and drama is never too far away, even if you find a new planet. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Sanctum,” Clarke and Bellamy begin to wake up some of their friends, as they decide to follow Monty’s recommendation and attempt to see if they can start over on Alpha. Meanwhile, Abby desperately tries to save Kane’s life and Octavia reminds us that Blodreina has not exactly turned over a new leaf just yet. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 1 Season Premiere are:

“So let’s do better…”
Echo reminds us that “there’s no starting over without forgiveness” and perhaps she is right. As our favorite characters begin to wake up from Cryosleep, they process the information that Monty has left for them, ready to get their second chance…or maybe their “fifth chance,” according to Murphy. Clarke prepares to take a team out to the Alpha planet, which we actually discover is a moon, to determine if it is survivable. Only they won’t know until they get down there. Sounds familiar? The plot gave me some season one nostalgia for sure, but Alpha is very different from earth and it looks like our favorite characters will not have an easy time surviving here.
When the team is camping for the night, Clarke takes this opportunity to give a motivational speech and explains, “If I could, I’d go back and do things differently…but I can’t. None of us can.” While Clarke’s speech is not exactly well received by all, Shaw reminds her that “it’s what you do not what you say” and he has a point. Let’s see if actions speak louder than Clarke’s words, as these new threats emerge.

“Tell Raven she deserves happiness.”
So, I was absolutely shipping Raven and Shaw last season and we finally got some swoon-worthy moments between them in the beginning of the episode. However, Raven has to stay on board, while Shaw acts as the pilot to bring the team down to Alpha, which is never a good sign. After an eclipse, darkness prevails on Alpha and a killer swarm is headed their way. When the team begins running away, Shaw knocks into a radiation fence. Clarke tries to help him, but it is too late and Shaw is gone. Poor Raven! Shaw died a hero, but it looks like Alpha is not exactly safe after dark. We’ve got killer swarms, radiation fences, and a castle? I don’t know about you, but I am definitely intrigued, but it is a shame about Shaw.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t respond all those years…”
Even with all of the chaos going on, Bellarke fans get a moment between Clarke and Bellamy. Yay! Clarke learns that Madi filled Bellamy in on Clarke trying to radio out to him for all those years, which gives us a sweet moment between these two. Echo is still in the picture, so it doesn’t look like there is time for romance just yet, but I am hoping we get some more Bellarke moments this season, as I absolutely love the friendship and bond between these two. A girl can dream…

“Then you’re a bigger fool than him…”
Meanwhile, back on the ship, Abby learns that Monty worked on his algae project some more to try and help Kane. Monty’s son, Jordan, presents it to Abby, as she tries to use it to save her beloved. Kane actually wakes up and these two are reunited for a brief moment, which was beautiful and heartwarming to see. However, Kane is not the only one awake, as Octavia finally faces them. You would think that 125 years of sleep would calm down Blodreina, but she is still on fire, ready to unleash her rage on these two “traitors.”
While they are arguing, Kane goes into critical arrest and Abby is forced to put him back into Cryosleep until they can find another way to save him. I seriously can’t take these two being apart and I hope this doesn’t cause Abby to relapse, but she did grab the bottle of pills before she walked away, which is not a great sign. Now that Octavia is awake, how will she react to all of these changes going on? We’ll have to wait and see, but it looks like the Red Queen isn’t going anywhere for now.

“So few are safe once they’re exposed…”
As Clarke and the others begin to investigate the castle and the world around them, they discover that a family had been sent down here to live, but Clarke discovers an interesting nursery rhyme book called, “Red Sun Rising.” Only they quickly discover that it’s not really a nursery rhyme, it’s more of a warning. The story talks about how everything changes in the dark and what dangers lie ahead.
Before they can get much further, Emori begins brutally attacking Murphy and Clarke and Bellamy realize that the danger is in the air. It doesn’t just impact nature, it impacts them as well, exposing them to something uncontrollable. What does this mean for our characters and is there any way to cure this night version rage? It looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride on The 100. Stay tuned!
