History Awesome / The100

* Madi survives for over ''two months'' on her own after Primefiya before Clarke finds her, and is quite the competent CrazySurvivalist. She leads Clarke into a bear trap before pouncing on her with a knife to eliminate the possible threat, and later sneaks into where Clarke is sleeping and steals her gear--including her weapons--without waking her. When Clarke stumbles upon her after this, she's (successfully) spearing fish in a river. Keep in mind Madi is like, 6.

* Octavia vs [[spoiler: Blodreina]].
* [[spoiler: Bellamy figures out Josephine has taken over Clarke. Instead of doing something like choosing a shared memory to test her, he speaks to her in Trig. Clarke speaks it, Josephine doesn't. Quick, simple, and effective.]]
* [[spoiler: Clarke figures out how to control Josephine just enough to send a signal that she's still alive. She sends it in Morse code through a string of holiday lights, which makes Josephine tap it involuntarily with her finger. Even better? Bellamy gets it almost ''immediately.'']]
* Echo's response to hearing that Clarke [[spoiler: had died]] was to ask when they avenge her.
* [[spoiler: Bellamy's refusal to let Clarke die, even when Gabriel and Octavia tell him she's gone, and ultimately saving her life in episode 10.]]
* [[spoiler: Madi is able to fight of Sheidheda's influence long enough to ensure Clarke doesn't end her own life and that the Primes are overthrown.]]

--> '''Monty's Mom:''' "Monty what are you doing?!"
--> '''Monty:''' "I'm helping my friends."

--> '''Pike:''' Any last words?
--> '''Lincoln:''' Not for you.
* Kane's side of the story in "Join or Die was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for him. He withstood crucifixion and betrayal from Abby without breaking to A.L.I.E's whims. If Jaha hadn't resorted to threatening Abby's life, it's likely that Kane would never have submitted. Or at least, it would have taken a lot longer.

* The Reveal that Lincoln survived his encounter with the Reapers. He was one guy being chased by a large group of these monsters and he was able to survive.

* Clarke defeating Anya after a brutal fight in "Many Happy Returns".

* Octavia [[spoiler: breaking out of a Grounder prison]] and coming within a hundred feet of joining up with the rescue party sent to find her. Sure, she gets caught again, but Bellamy's little sis adequately proves her ActionGirl credentials.
* Raven tearing Bellamy a new one for destroying her radio and [[spoiler: costing over three-hundred Ark residents their lives]] in "His Sister's Keeper".
* In "Day Trip", Bellamy is held at gunpoint by a fellow The 100 who has been bribed to kill him. Cue Clarke stepping out with a gun of her own to defend Bellamy. To review: Clarke, the resident [[TheHeart heart]] and an outspoken pacifist (with the exception of [[spoiler: the torture incident]]) wields a ''loaded gun''...and to defend someone who's basically been nothing but a {{Jerkass}} the entire series.

* Lincoln actively defying his own tribe to save Clarke and Finn, then taking on The Reapers by himself to give them time to get out. Keep in mind, The Reapers are so terrifying that even Anya and her hardened warriors avoid them like the plague, but Lincoln goes up against them ''on his own!''

** Even the Reapers get one - the Hunting party was outnumbered at least three to one, but they still managed to take on the Grounder invasion force for at least five minutes despite the disadvantage. Hence [[{{TheDreaded}} their reputation amongst the Grounders as something to be feared.]]

* [[spoiler: Kane]]'s reveal in "The 48", effortlessly taking out [[spoiler: Tristan]].

* {{The Reveal}} that [[spoiler: Lexa, the wallflowery girl attending to Kane and Jaha is really the Commander of the grounders. The ease she disarmed Jaha with.]]

* Lexa and Clarke finally [[spoiler: kissing.]]

* In the otherwise bleak "Blood Must Have Blood Part II", Lincoln slicing off [[spoiler: Cage's]] hand, before finishing him off with [[spoiler: his own reaper drug]] was incredibly cathartic.
** Especially Lincoln's IronicEcho of [[spoiler: The first time Cage injected him: "The first dose is always the worst."]]

* The fact that Clarke and Bellamy were willing to [[spoiler: fatally irradiate everyone in Mount Weather, including innocents and children]] in order to save their people was an incredibly bold narrative move.
* Bellamy and Maya [[spoiler: radiating an area]] to protect Jasper from being harvested. Bonus awesome point for [[spoiler: Tsing]] dying from said radiation, and Jasper echoing the hollow words she'd told them earlier.

* Octavia taking out an Ice Nation Solider by throwing her sword at him.
* Clarke wrestling a panther with nothing but her bare hands and a knife... [[spoiler:and killing it!]]

* Clarke meets the Queen of Azgeda. [[spoiler:In a very clever plan if it had worked, she falsely promises allegiance with a knife she poisons during the ritual, intending that the Queen should die.]]
* Lexa and Roan's fight, which ends with her [[spoiler: using his weapon to kill Nia, who orchestrated the fight, instead of Roan, and declaring Roan king of the Ice Nation.]]
-->'''Lexa:''' Jus drein jus daun. ''(blood must have blood)'' [[spoiler:*tosses spear at Nia*]]

* Lincoln's [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice and final words.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Pike:''' Any last words?]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Lincoln:''' Not for you.]]
* Kane's side of the story in "Join or Die was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for him. [[spoiler: He withstood crucifixion and betrayal from Abby without breaking to A.L.I.E's whims. If Jaha hadn't resorted to threatening Abby's life, it's likely that Kane would never had submitted. Or at least, it would have taken a lot longer.]]

* Clarke [[spoiler:refusing to break even with the threat of her mother's death, only apologizing to the real Abby trapped inside.]]

* In the season 3 finale [[spoiler:Lexa returning and saving Clarke from A.L.I.E's people in the City Of Light and making a last stand against many of them so Clarke can get to the kill switch to delete A.L.I.E.]]
* [[spoiler:Clarke telling A.L.I.E that you overcome pain not get rid of it before pulling the kill switch to delete her.]]
* [[spoiler:Pike saving Octavia despite the fact that he knows she wants to kill him and stopping Jaha from getting to Clarke which took effort because of his inability to feel pain.]]
* [[spoiler:Octavia stabbing Pike for what he did to Lincoln because saving her life doesn't make up for everything he has done.]]

* Jaha masterfully restoring stability to the population of Arkadia after [[spoiler: Monty outs the List. In just a few moments, they go from getting ready to riot to throwing themselves onto the task even more vigorously than before.]] He may not be everyone's favorite person, but there was a damn good reason why this man was made chancellor.
* When Emori encounters the grounder who tortured her and her brother in the past, Clarke convinces her to spare his life so that [[spoiler: he can be used to test the Nightblood cure.]] The truly awesome part comes in at the end when it's revealed that [[spoiler: Emori made the whole thing up. She'd never met the grounder before and just wanted to ensure that neither she nor Murphy were the human subjects.]]
* In season 4, episode 9, "DNR", Octavia takes on three grounders armed with just a hoe. She kills them all-though its clear she loses control a bit and ends up splattered with blood after going full overkill on the last one.
* Octavia gets another one in episode 10, "Die All, Die Merrily," when she [[spoiler: ''wins the conclave,'' killing Luna in the process.]]
* Bellamy's BatmanGambit to escape lockdown with Abby's help, and the two of them joining forces to [[spoiler: open the bunker doors and save the people they love: Octavia and Kane.]]

* In Season 5, Episode 3, Emori going from a nomadic grounder completely unfamiliar with new technology to [[spoiler:becoming Raven's second during their six years in space. In Season 5, Episode 3, she successfully gets their group back down from space and performs a successful landing.]]
* After Bellamy, Harper, Monty, Emori, and Echo [[spoiler:return to the ground]], they are attacked by the [[spoiler:inmates]] but [[spoiler:Madi]] saves them. Even though they've never met, [[spoiler:Madi]] recognizes who Bellamy is and the group learns [[spoiler:Clarke is alive]]:
--> [[spoiler:'''Bellamy:''' She's just a kid...]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Madi:''' Bellamy? Clarke knew you would come!]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Bellamy:''' Clarke's alive?]]

--> '''Bellamy''' [[spoiler: She is.]]

** Clarke is once again faced with closing a drop ships doors on Bellamy. This time she refuses. Likewise, Bellamy refuses to leave his friends behind. They have both come a long way since Season 1.
