Does The 100 Have a Happy Ending?
You will have to decide this for yourself. On the one hand, it’s pretty dark that The 100 ends with most of the human race opting out of corporeal existence—like they have a choice and they decide that they’d rather be part of an alien hive mind than continue to be human. (Honestly, a very 2020 vibe.) While the Lexa-faced Judge tells Clarke that humanity has “added so much to us already,” for a show that depicted murder as a valid life choice more or less right up until the end, it’s not really clear what those qualities might be.
On the other hand, some humans do survive. They seemingly get a pristine Earth to live on, and they don’t have anyone left to fight besides one another. Still, for an episode that has a surface-level message of anti-tribalism, the final scene seems to hammer a different message home: a peaceful existence is possible when everyone but your family is dead.

E!: Do you have a vision of what transcending is actually like?
JR: No, not really. I think it's one of those unknowable, find-out-when-you-get-there answers, like what happens when you die. I think it's essentially like our consciousness is energy and our energy is joining what we call the Universal Consciousness, the higher level of consciousness that we all get access to if we pass the test, so what that means exactly is open to interpretation. Some people might take a religious perspective and others might say it's what religion, generally speaking, is based on, to explain that phenomenon.
Yes, many of your favorite characters may be dead. In the end it looks like Clarke learned nothing. But indeed it has a very strong plot.
There could never be enough posts about finale.
Well the show is not about survival of human race, but about it's extinction. Director mentioned ending a cycle of violence. I guess that's the only way possible way to achieve it. Everyone else but your friends must be gone. The themes of tribalism vs universalism run throughout the show.
In my opinion, superior beings that judge different species are doing that for sake of colonization. It's just another empire disguised as spiritual enlightenment.
As for Bellamy, I am okay with his death. But the way he was killed was so senseless, that it can't be justified.

We still don't know what transcendence is. To me it is very similar to Matrix. More specifically one of the earlier versions of Matrix that Smith talked about where everyone was happy.
Transcendence is a fancy way of saying human race is extinct. Judge said there could be no offspring.
PS I reactivate the account only because of the show NOT because of YOU!
The show deceived it's audience. We thought it was about survival of human race. But instead it was about extinction of human race.
This is Hollywood. In the new Batman, you can survive an explosion.
