The 100 Every Previous Story Season 7 Has Repeated So Far

The 100 is no stranger to repeating themes and ideas. Most seasons of the show have largely been about big conflicts between groups of people who should be able to peacefully coexist but can’t get past simple obstacles in the way. This has led to many seasons repeating a lot of the same ideas and conflicts, just from different perspectives.

Season 7 of The 100 is no different on that front, repeating many previous stories in different configurations. In just two episodes, season 7 has repeated a number of stories from other seasons. Whether that’s easy storytelling or a strong way to tie in themes from earlier seasons to make a satisfying finale is still up in the air, but it could go either way. The following are the stories that season 7 of The 100 has repeated from prior seasons so far.

Hope Is The 100 Season 7’s Jordan

The last episode of season 5 introduced Jordan, the son of existing characters Monty Green and Harper McIntyre. Due to the time jump between seasons and everyone else being in cryochambers, Jordan was able to grow up to be an adult before interacting with everyone else in the cast.

Hope has a number of parallels to Jordan. She’s the daughter of Charmaine Diyoza, a major character since season 5. She’s also introduced as an adult, aging faster than everyone else because she grew up on Skyring, where time passes differently. She’s being set up as a major character in season 7, so hopefully, her role is larger than Jordan’s, since many fans were disappointed at the relatively small role he had in that season after his introduction implied he’d be a bigger part of the story.

Octavia Is To Hope What Clarke Is To Madi

Between seasons 4 and 5, Clarke and Madi were the only people surviving on Earth thanks to both of them having Nightblood, which allowed them to survive the radiation levels. While they got off to a rocky start, over time they got much closer, with Madi basically becoming Clarke’s adopted daughter.

Octavia and Hope have a pretty similar relationship. Diyoza’s presence as Hope’s biological mother means that Hope tends to call Octavia “Aunty O,” but the relationship isn’t that different. They even have the same love of stories and storytelling, with both Madi and Hope growing up with a lot of stories of Clarke/Octavia’s friends and the adventures that they lived through.

Octavia Hides Hope Like She Herself Used To Hide

Up on the Ark in season 1, families were only allowed to have one child to keep the population under control. Octavia was Aurora Blake’s second child, so Octavia’s existence had to be kept a secret. Whenever there were inspections or someone otherwise dropped into their living quarters, Octavia would hide under the floor.

While her life wasn’t constrained to a single room like Octavia’s, Hope still had to hide. When the people from Bardo come to take Diyoza and Octavia away, Octavia pulls off part of the wall of the cabin and forces Hope to hide in there. Just like for Octavia, hiding in the wall helps protect Hope from being discovered when the Disciples attack. This also echoes when Clarke had Madi hide when the Eligius IV prisoners first showed up, though Madi had much less luck and got captured in that situation.

Hope’s Favorite “Character” Is Also Murphy

Both Clarke and Octavia loved telling Madi and Hope, respectively, stories about their past and people that they knew. For both of them, a lot of growing up was hearing these stories about people they never got to meet but were a big part of their surrogate parents’ lives. When talking to Octavia, Hope mentions that her favorite “character” is John Murphy, which was also true for Madi.

Murphy is a fan favorite, so this puts Madi and Hope both in the role of fans, knowing the stories of the characters without knowing the characters themselves. Notably, Murphy isn’t that well-liked by most of the characters who know him. Murphy tends to be selfish and concerned with his and Emori’s survival above all else, often to the detriment of everyone else. Not really understanding that may be why Madi and Hope like him so much: he’s a lot of fun in the stories, but not exactly a great person to be around.

The 100 Has New Mountain Men

From the end of season 1 throughout season 2, the Mountain Men served as major antagonists. The Mountain Men were the last remnants of the American government, surviving in facilities built into Mount Weather. Their main advantage over the Grounders and Sky People was their superior technology, shown in their first appearance when they infiltrated the Delinquents’ camp with gas grenades and tactical gear before taking most of them away.

The Disciples fill much that same role in season 7. They have incredibly advanced technology, including cloaking devices that make them essentially invisible. They appear at the beginning of season 7 and use that more advanced technology to take away Bellamy, though what exactly they want with him is unclear at this point, much like it was with the Mountain Men when they first appeared. Similar to the story in Mount Weather, it looks like the Disciples will take everyone to new settings, whether it’s on Skyring, Bardo, or the other planets hinted at in the opening credits, Etherea and Nakara.

Season 7 of The 100 has repeated a lot of stories and ideas from throughout the show, even in just the first two episodes. While repeating is often lazy storytelling, going back to old themes and revisiting ideas in slightly different ways could also be the way to close out the series in a strong manner that pays respect to the core ideas the show has used since the beginning.
