The 100 (TV Series) The Four Horsemen (2017) User Reviews

Back to its old glory.

[ilklucg234 · 9/10 · 17 February 2017]

I couldn't be happier. This episode finally went back to the glory that was The 100 season 2.

Jaha maybe has an idea to rescue everyone instead of just 100. The flame was stolen from Rowan who orders Octavia to get it back. Luna is in need of medical treatment.

This is by far the best episode of The 100 since season 2. I am so surprised that actually nothing bothered me about this episode. Probably because Jasper wasn't in it but overall as well.

The acting was more than solid, everyone did a good job.

The story is not really the most surprising one full of twists and turns, but it is definitely enjoyable.

The characters acted logically. Everyone followed their own beliefs, stayed in character if you will, instead of making one dumb decision after another. (And they did not blame Clarke for everything, but that seems to come around in the next episode again according to the preview).

Clarke and Bellamy shared an amazing scene together. It was pretty emotional and very well acted, which is why it really moved me.

The only thing that kind of bothered me about this episode is that it still feels like this is not leading anywhere. I know, they'll probably find a way to save the majority of the people, but it also feels like this season (or at least the first half) tries to build tension and drama by letting the characters run in circles from one last (or lost) hope to another. Up until now it's alright because it's only the third episode of this season, but if it continues it's going to be a bit old.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this episode and I hope they can keep it up like this for the rest of the season. And then there's the possibility that this show gets back to my Top 3 again.

Tensions mounting

"The Four Horsemen" is an entertaining episode, with lots of interesting situations, a little bit of plot development and great moments for some characters that, however, doesn't seem to know where it is going.

Bellamy and Clarke team up with Jaha to search for salvation. Raven is losing her patience and in Arkadia things are getting worse and worse. Octavia tries to help the new king Roan. And the radiation may even be closer than expected.

All story-lines of the episode are well developed and some moments are surprising because they take some unexpected turns. It is helped with good acting and great mood, with the characters having to take some difficult decisions. Unfortunately, all the good aspects that keep making "The 100" great apocalyptic sci-fi cannot overcome the feeling that this new threat (right now) is not very mysterious or clear, in part because the plot doesn't seem to really know where it is going (maybe the writers stretching a little bit the main story-line). Nevertheless, "The 100" keeps being thrilling.

Season 4 has been so good so far

I don't know why the night blood thing was such a big deal when I found out abt the radiation and knew that they would need a solution my mind immediately went to the first commander like she went down to earth a couple years after it was ended and it was still very much radioactive so obviously her research aka Nightblood is the solution to the problem we've faced since before the show Whatever maybe my mind works different but it seemed very very obvious to me from the beginning but I do try to solve the every problem before anything else so I often guess what's going to happen in the show but don't get me wrong I'm not that smart it's just the way my mind works. Raven is so annoying this season!

love this episode

[alittlebird-51716 · 10/10 · 15 February 2017]

it was just beautifully written and acted. the show is really fixing everything they messed up on last season, and we're finally moving on from the Lexa debacle. i was so over it, the issue was beat to death. I'm glad we're finally putting season 3 behind us and moving on to better things.

Very Interesting

Actually it's 9/10 but the Second Dawn Storyline begins here and as a person who watched Season 7, the episode is fantastic

Continuing of the last episode.

[ououzaza · 8/10 · 24 March 2020]

This episode is great. It is fun to watch people try to find solutions for the end of the world. Yet the season still has long way to go.

Bellamy and Clarke leading their people how far they've come

One fact that is most likely forgotten by most of us at this point, is Murphy's father was floated back on the ark because he stole medicine to save John. Which leads to this point in time where John, who most likely share his father's values, did the same to save another kid. Or, in this case, try to. "where did they get an iPad?" They literally have AIs, VR world, chips you swallow that inhibits pain receptors, erases memories and controls your brain, an iPad is the least of our concerns lol. Where did the iPad come from??? Radiation contagion depends on what they got the radiation from, what kind of degree of exposure and for how long. So, sometimes it's not contagious. If you remember when they was doing the backstory on the first Commander Becca Pramheda. You would remember she was taking shots to prevent radiation and so her body could except the chip that she implanted in her neck. She also landed in a radiated area and she still survived along with the first of survivors but they were all deformed due to the radiation.
