Episode Info:
The Season 5 opener serves as a loving and contemplative reflection on the 100’s time on earth so far, and really on their whole journey. Focusing almost entirely on Clarke’s path during the time jump, her relationship with Madi and the arrival of Con Air in Space, it also offers our first glimpse at SpaceKru, the small subset of the 100 that went back up to space without Clarke.
The new theme, the most obvious changes to the opener so far, is not playing around. There’s no water or Polis, but plenty of tan and red earth, dead trees, and Praimfaya. The bunker and the prison transport have been added, perhaps hinting at how long into the season they will remain factors.
Clarke’s salvage mission and riding around in the rover provide some of the clearest callbacks to season 1. She finds Maya’s ipod, Jasper’s note to Monty and goggles, the latter of which protect her as she wanders the desert. Maya’s iPod provided the soundtrack to her exploratory mission looking for food or water. It called to mind the great opener last season with the gang in the rover listening to Gone daddy gone, while O rides alongside on her horse. Back when Jasper was still alive.
