Are Gabriel and Papa Lightbourne able to bring back the people he just murdered? What kind of hinky science stuff were these people forced to resort to after this disastrous eclipse? And how has it shaped the society Earthkru has just walked into? Gabriel, who manages to escape the massacre, mentions “the embryos” are for populating the colony. They all seem happy enough, joking playfully and delighting in life on this planet to varying degrees.Īlas, our glimpse into the past comes to an abrupt halt when the eclipse does its thing and brings out the worst in Papa Lightbourne causing him to murder his wife and child, as well as a number of the other settlers, giving us a pretty grim look at what’s in store for our team. Her father appears to be their leader/astronomer of the team, and her mother is a doctor of some kind. This could just be pure information about the life on this planet, but I’m hoping this line, in particular, could turn into a metaphor for any group of people on The 100.

Josie: Crickets go silent when they feel threatened, right before they swarm. The life on this planet includes things she is able to categorize as insects, rodents, and reptiles, as well as some pretty freaky alien life she makes up a new taxonomic category for. She appears to be a zoologist with a pretty big crush on their geneticist, Gabriel. Actually, if you took The 100 Season 1 Clarke and Octavia and wrapped them into one person, you would probably get Josie. Josephine Lightbourne is bright, funny, and intuitive–not terribly unlike 17-year-old Clarke Griffin when she first stepped off the dropship. While we’re here, we get an overload of information from the Lightbourne family when they experience what I’m assuming is their first bi-solar eclipse.įirst up, we meet Josephine Ada Lightbourne herself, author of the Red Sun Rising children’s book/warning that Clarke and Bellamy found on “Sanctum.” How exactly she comes to write that book is a pretty huge question, since we also see her get brutally murdered by her own father within minutes of us meeting her. We begin “Red Sun Rising” by taking a trip to the past–236 years in the past, to be exact.

The team on the ground faces their inner darkness, while the group in space makes first contact with the people that live on this mysterious moon.

We learn a lot in this episode, while still being able to dig into the gritty conflicts that have carried over from the previous seasons. With a deadly flashback to the original settlers on Sanctum, a rough case of Eclipse Induced Psychosis for our team on the ground, and a hostage situation in the sky, “Red Sun Rising,” written by Jeff Vlaming, is a thrilling hour of television that doesn’t let up. The first five minutes of The 100 Season 6 Episode 2, “Red Sun Rising,” may be one of the best cold opens in the show’s history.
