Discover the Secrets of The 100 Season 7 Episode 3 ‘False Gods’ with this HD Inside Look

0:01 | – Your execution’s at sunset.

0:03 | We’ll give you the respect
of choosing how you die.

0:06 | – Here we are back
for episode three.

0:08 | This one is called “False Gods,”

0:10 | and was written by the
Grand Dame, Kim Shumway.

0:14 | – Hello.
– Hi, Kim.

0:15 | – I’m excited to be here

0:17 | and excited that people
finally get to see the season.

0:19 | – This episode was
directed by Tim Scanlan,

0:23 | who is a rockstar in post

0:25 | and has directed a
whole bunch of episodes

0:27 | over the course of the
run and his episodes

0:29 | never fail to be to be great.

0:31 | – This was the episode where
there was a power outage,

0:34 | for the first time ever
in the history of the show

0:36 | and it took down three shows,

0:38 | it took down us, Supergirl and
Riverdale across the street

0:41 | and it was just, we were
down for almost an hour

0:45 | and, just, he was totally
unflappable, it was great.

0:47 | – That’s really weird
because there was actually

0:48 | a power outage in
the story, as well.

0:51 | – (laughing) Exactly.

0:53 | (gasping)

0:54 | We revealed, in
the last episode,

0:56 | that Sheidheda
is, in fact, alive

0:58 | and has not taken
over Russell’s body.

1:01 | He’s in a tricky situation
because he has to survive

1:04 | when a bunch of people
want to kill him,

1:06 | so we’ll get to see
our first glimpses

1:08 | of how Sheidheda operates,
which is really fun.

1:11 | – Yeah, he’s an
interesting character

1:12 | and JR Bourne joining us as
a series regular this year

1:16 | really does, kind of,
inhabit a new persona.

1:20 | – And it’s interesting
because Clarke’s story

1:22 | intersects with his in a
really interesting way.

1:24 | – I lost myself last night.
– Burning down the palace

1:27 | was a bit extreme, but
Clarke, he killed your mother

1:31 | and so many others and
today he will die for it.

1:34 | – She consigned him to death

1:36 | and now she’s feeling
that, a little bit.

1:39 | It was a bit of a rash
decision, you know,

1:41 | made in the heat of the
moment’s grief over Abby.

1:44 | – To my followers, this
would be the death of a God.

1:47 | – Now she’s having to face
the consequences of her,

1:49 | kind of, death sentence
and was she right

1:52 | and will it create even more
problems than it would solve?

1:56 | – Well, of course it will.
– It’s The 100

1:58 | and because it’s The 100,
nothing can ever be simple,

2:00 | so she actually has a
second crisis to deal with.

2:03 | – The core’s overheating.

2:05 | The reactor will melt down
and it’s bye bye Sanctum.

2:08 | – We often give characters
these difficult choices to make.

2:11 | You’re between a rock
and a hard place,

2:12 | what are you gonna do?

2:14 | And Raven really hasn’t
had to face those yet

2:17 | and really hasn’t had to be
the one making the choice

2:20 | and in this episode, for
the first time, she will.

2:23 | – So how do we stop it?

2:25 | – We push in the control rods,

2:26 | we plug the cracks, we’re good.

2:27 | – Just that simple.
– I like you.

2:31 | Someone has to go into
primary containment

2:33 | to get the control
rods in place,

2:34 | it’s a high radiation
environment.

2:36 | – Yeah, I think that was
a really important aspect

2:38 | to this story and I know, for
you, that it was important

2:41 | to, sort of, put Raven
into the crucible

2:45 | that so many of our other
characters have been put in.

2:47 | I know there have been
scenes in previous episodes,

2:49 | or seasons, where people
have said something

2:52 | to the effect of,

2:53 | “We’ve all done things
we’re not proud of,”

2:55 | and Raven’s response is
usually, “I haven’t,”

2:58 | because it’s true that she
hasn’t and so, on some level,

3:02 | I think it’s important that
she really does get to feel

3:06 | what those types of
decisions are like,

3:08 | so she can A, understand
her friends more

3:11 | and what they’ve been going
through and B, of course,

3:13 | understand what
she’s made out of.

3:16 | – It shows us who Raven is

3:17 | and how she reacts
under pressure,

3:19 | but it also spreads out
and affects everything else

3:22 | in Sanctum in a really
interesting way.

3:24 | – Are you lost or something?
– I could use some help

3:26 | and your people have the skills.

3:29 | – What’s in it for us?

3:30 | – One of the other
exciting things

3:31 | we get to do in this episode
is finally really meet

3:34 | the Eligius prisoners.

3:35 | You met them a little bit,
kind of, in a tense situation

3:37 | in the premiere, but we don’t
really know them as people yet

3:41 | and this episode gives us
the opportunity to explore

3:44 | how they view themselves,

3:45 | how they believe other
people view them, you know,

3:49 | rightly or wrongly,
probably rightly.

3:51 | – They’re making
us do the hard work

3:53 | and giving us tents and
scraps from their table.

3:56 | I see the way they look at us.

3:58 | – We’ll especially
get to hear a lot from

4:01 | one of our new
characters, Nikki,

4:03 | played by Alaina
Huffman, who’s amazing.

4:05 | We’ll get to learn
more about her

4:07 | and more about her relationships

4:09 | and how she views the
world and potentially,

4:11 | the prejudice against her
people who are, of course,

4:15 | all criminals.

4:17 | – Chad Rook, who plays
Hatch, is amazing as well.

4:19 | I mean, just so fun and
really did sink his teeth

4:23 | into this southern accent.

4:25 | – We are still here,
we are still one people

4:29 | and we are all in danger.

4:31 | – One of the things I
was really excited about

4:33 | in this episode was to dig
into Gaia a little bit,

4:35 | ’cause I love Gaia.

4:36 | She’s so different from
a lot of our characters

4:38 | because she’s a woman of
faith and she always has been

4:40 | and it’s very important to
her, you know, it’s her core

4:43 | and in this episode, she
makes a difficult decision,

4:46 | just like she made
a difficult decision

4:48 | in last season’s finale.

4:49 | – We tell them the truth.
– Don’t be a fool, Gaia!

4:52 | – Have some faith in
our people, mother!

4:54 | – I know our people!

4:56 | – They’ve been pretending that
the flame is not destroyed,

4:58 | but Madi is still the
commander and now,

5:00 | Gaia is faced with,
potentially, telling her people

5:03 | that things have changed.
– That’ll go well, I’m sure.

5:06 | – Suddenly a nuclear
meltdown doesn’t seem so bad.

5:09 | (dramatic music)
