Line 7:
{{Needs More Tropes}}
* [[Action Girl]]: There are a lot of them. Octavia and Echo are the best examples from the main cast.
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: The book series is mostly a footnote to the TV series at this point.
* [[Artifact Title]]: Happens really quickly. It’s named after the 100 juvenile delinquents send to the ground, but two of them die on the way to the ground, about ten minutes into the episode.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: A few of the seasons end with this:
** Season 2 {{spoiler|has most of the Sky People survive the fight against Mount Weather, at the cost of Clarke, Bellamy, and Monty helping to commit genocide.}}
** Season 3 {{spoiler|ends with ALIE defeated, but a wave of fire and radiation on its way that will kill everyone within 6 months.}}
** Season 5 {{spoiler|ends with Earth completely destroyed and uninhabitable. Monty and Harper die finding a new planet for everyone to start over on and do better this time.}}
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: After resolving the main story, each season finale ends with one to set up the main conflict of the next season:
** Season 1 {{spoiler|ends with many of the main characters knocked out with gas grenades by what look like special ops troops. When Clarke wakes up, she’s in an all white quarantine room inside Mount Weather, revealing that they’re the Mountain Men the Grounders have been afraid of.}}
Line 17 ⟶ 23:
*** {{spoiler|Sheidheda has been removed from the flame, saving Madi, but escapes, presumably to take over the Eligius IV ship.}}
*** {{spoiler|Diyoza's previously unborn daughter, Hope, comes out of the anomaly as an adult. She talks to Octavia, who recognizes her even though she remembered nothing from her time in the anomaly just minutes before. Hope stabs Octavia in the stomach then passes out. Bellamy tries to hold Octavia up as she's bleeding out, until the anomaly comes in to the room and she disappears in a flash of green.}}
* [[Crapsack World]]: It’s decades after a nuclear apocalypse, so it’d be surprising if this ‘’wasn’t’’ the case.
* [[From Bad to Worse]]: Many, many people don’t think through their actions. In the first season, it’s mostly a case of characters (justifiably) holding the [[Idiot Ball]]. In later seasons, the characters are smarter, but the circumstances are much worse.
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: With a couple notable exceptions, everyone falls somewhere in the grey middle of morality. Frequently stated by the characters as “Maybe there are no good guys”.
* [[Killed Off For Real]]: They don’t play around with death on this show. When someone dies, you’re going to see it and it’s going to stick.
** Played with in Season 6 with the Primes. {{spoiler|They avoid death by downloading their brains to Mind Drives and uploading them to new bodies. Even then, wiping or smashing the Drive can lead to their actual death.}}
* [[Love Triangle]]: [[Averted]] more than you’d expect from the teen drama show that it starts off as. When Clarke discovers that Finn already was in a relationship with Raven, she immediately cuts off the relationship that had just started to develop.
