Season seven of The 100 is going to see things comingto a head in a number of ways. Loose ends will be tied up but not before the characters have to contend with Sanctum Primes. The overlords of the Earth-like planet hold a vice-like grip of their people, who worship them without question despite their dark deeds. However, their days could be numbered, according to The 100 showrunner Jason Rothenberg.

Jordan Green (played by Shannon Kook) was introduced in season five after he was revealed to be the son of Monty (Christopher Larkin) and Harper McIntyre (Chelsey Reist).

He was born on the Eligius IV and when he turned 26, his parents put him in a cryosleep as they continued to man the ship before passing away of old age.

Jordan was one of the first to awake and brought Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) and Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley) out of cryosleep.

Jordan and other members of Wonkru learnt that the Primes were essentially body snatching and killing the person whose body they had taken over.

After finding out the horrifying truth, Jordan forced Prime Priya Desai (Ashleigh LaThrop) to tell the truth about how the leaders of Sanctum managed to live and rule over Sanctum.

However, an angered Russell Lightbourne (J.R. Bourne) initiated the Adjustment Protocol which made the crowd gather go mad after being exposed to Red Sun toxin.

The people proceeded to attack each other and Priya was killed in the fray as it seemed like the truth died with her.

But could Jordan try again to expose the truth of the Primes to the people once and for all? The play will be interesting to see given some people are zealots and refuse to believe otherwise.

Season six ended with Jordan holding a mind drive in his hand which Rothenberg said would be important going forward.

Speaking to TV Insider, Rothenberg teased some hints about what season seven could hold.

He said: Very significant for Jordans character, that hes got that in his hand at the end of the season. That tees up the direction were taking him in.

Clearly, Murphy and Emori are Primes now, theyre not part of the original Primes but they have immortality, so that will be something that continues in the story.

One of the things were playing with is this idea of cognitive dissonance; that people believe things so strongly that even when you tell them the truth, they refuse to believe its the truth.

We will see a stubborn band of true believers in Sanctum who come to worship at the feet of Murphy and Emori, which will be a funand relatively disturbingstory well tell going forward.

The quotes suggest that Jordan will have a role to play going forward that could perhaps discredit the Primes.

However, it looks like there will be a struggle to change the minds of the masses who believe in the power of Primes without question.

Given this is the final run, audiences are likely to get a resolution of some sort.

The 100 season 7 will premiere pm The CW in 2020

The 100 season 7: Will Jordan Green take down the Sanctum Primes? - Express.co.uk

By Dr Velon L. John

WITH a spiritual act of courage and in his magnificent humility, Brandt Jean conferred upon himself and his deceased brother, Botham Jean immortality in the circumstance of humanity. All of this is circumscribed by these words:

If you truly are sorry, I know I can speak for myself, I forgive you. I love you as a person I know that if you go to God and ask Him, He will forgive you. I dont know if this is possible but, can I give her a hug please? Please?

The question was posed to the Judge and she responded in the affirmative. And from his seat in the witness box Brandt Jean walked towards the killer/murderer of his twenty 26-year-old brother Botham Jean. It was a short walk and she stumblingly met him half way.

It must have been the hardest walk in his life and at the same time, because of who and what he was, it was the easiest. It reminded me of this young man who walked 200 yards to his cross of death two thousand plus years ago; and for Him it was the easiest and most joyful experience in his rather short life. He was 33 years old. The two events that traversed the silent legions of miles and years shared a numinous commonality, in that Love and Forgiveness were the sublime and celestial provenance of it all.

He the Black man in his humble magnificence walked towards the White woman, the killer of his brother. She who wanted only to destroy the dreams, the aspirations, the hopes and the domestic life of this Lucian family was embraced. He hugged her and she sobbingly hugged him.

It is an event the world will never forget. And from this day forward, in churches, synagogues, mosques and temples where the virtues of Love and Forgiveness are being taught, discussed and pontificated upon, Brandt Jean shall be the reference point to the faithful and even the heathen.

And to those who want to disparage the words and actions of this young man, it is their conscious and unconscious hypocrisy that is being given utterance on whatever the level. And further their perverse expression is a grotesque manifestation of their dubious concern for the Jean family.

As regards Amber Guyger, I am of the opinion that she was racist like so many of her associates. But Guyger did not leave her place of work to head to her home and to kill a Black man. But a Black man died; he died, was shot, was murdered because of a concatenation of negative attitudinal events and bad luck that can only be surmised. If Botham was white very likely he would not have been shot; but Guygers mindset of a traditional and historical cast predisposed her to pull the trigger of her gun. And which she did.

The woman who was convicted for the murder of Botham Jean was indeed guilty of murder. And her punishment as I see it should have been thirty years of incarceration. But that was not to be. Interestingly if she had gotten thirty years, Brandts hug and his declaration of love would have lost some of its import its significance. Ten years enhanced augmented and sublimated to the spiritual this disposition of Love and Forgiveness.

From my study of human nature on certain levels I have come to the conclusion that Amber Guyger up to the time she made that walk to Brandt Jean was the Amber Guyger her family and friends knew. But the Amber Guyger who walked the 48-feet towards Brandt Jean that held him, that embraced him that hugged him was a different Amber Guyger. Along that stretch of floor something happened. She went through a catharsis that occasioned a characterological metamorphosis on a very profound level. She was reborn. And many who witnessed this phenomenon were themselves changed in varying degrees.

Forgiveness changes both the forgiver and the forgiven. Love changes both the lover and the loved.

Love and Forgiveness. They are both one and the same though paradoxically the former is the genesis of the latter.

The Brothers: In death and in life they have both justified each others existence and the world is a better place because of them.

As I end this piece I leave with you this thought with its aetiological implications and which of course is a product of my philosophical ruminations.

The absolute and quintessential manifestation of love is to forgive the unrepentant.
