Preview — The 100 Season 7 Episode 8: Anaconda

Shelby Elpers Previews, The 100

Clarke meets a new adversary on The 100 Season 7 Episode 8, “Anaconda.” Simultaneously, there is a surprising connection that takes us back to the nuclear apocalypse that destroyed Earth.

The promo suggests that this new antagonist has something to do with the connection that leads to the flashbacks. 

The 100 is leaning into flashbacks more and more throughout its final season. On The 100 Season 7 Episode 7, “The Queen’s Gambit,” there was a flashback to a quiet moment between Echo and Bellamy. This tactic may work in the show’s favor if it is able to move the audience, and the story doesn’t get lost in translation. 

Final seasons are perfect for flashbacks, callbacks, and so on. The 100 hasn’t been able to dig into much of this because so many of the characters are spread out on too many planets, and all of those planets have their own issues. It’s a complicated web that’s only at the very beginning of becoming clearer now that Clarke and her team are on Bardo. 

That being said, The 100 Season 7 Episode 8, “Anaconda,” looks like it’s giving us some answers about how things got to be the way they are, but it’s doing so through the introduction of new faces in a familiar place.

With Sanctum, Bardo, and all of their respective habitants, it’s difficult to think about getting to know even more characters this far into a show’s final season. Hopefully, The 100 can pull off this story in a way that directly serves the main characters without adding another planet and too many new faces to an already long list. 

Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview of this episode, which airs July 8th at 8/7c on The CW.
