The 100 Interview: Isaiah Washington Teases "Jaha is in Possession of the Bigger Gun"

Jaha left his people behind and went on a quest in the search of the City of Light. As The 100 Season 3 begins, he claims to know all about the City of Light after coming in contact with ALIE. This summer, Isaiah Washington shed some light on Jaha's journey this season.

What's going on with Jaha in Season 3?

Washington:  Jaha is in possession of the bigger gun. He's no longer Chancellor, but he has a lady in a red dress and they have-- or he has a nuclear warhead.

Will he be using it for good or for evil?

Washington: Jaha is in the possession of the bigger gun and he has access to the lady in red, artificial intelligence, you figure it out. You know his mindset is a little different. He threw someone off a boat. And the only reason Murphy survives is because he can row. Jaha's bottom line has become extremely chilling.

What about his spiritual journey?

Washington: That's what I'm thinking is so fun about Jaha right now. The juxtapose of what happens when someone is so ensconced in their beliefs that they are willing to threaten and kill and sacrifice other human lives. We are talking about the history of man. What happened when someone goes, "Sometimes you gotta do the wrong thing to do the right thing." How do you get out that rabbit hole?

The 100 airs Thursdays at 9 pm ET on the CW.

The 100 Postmortem Interview: EP Jason Rothenberg Discusses Season 2 Finale and What's Coming in Season 3

Victory to the Sky People! Clarke succeeded in saving her people, but it came at a great cost to the world and to her personally when all but one of the Mountain Men were eliminated. Meanwhile, Thelonious reached his destination and the City of Light wasn't at all what he expected.

The 100 Season 2 finale was brutal and shocking throughout the hour. What comes next? BuddyTV spoke with Executive Producer Jason Rothenberg to get the scoop on A.L.I.E, the future of Mount Weather, Clarke's state of mind and how the Grounders will play into Season 3. 

This is the second part of our conversation, for the full interview, read the first part: The 100 Season 2 Finale Interview: EP Jason Rothenberg Teases 'It Can Always Get Darker,' including the War Games reference.

BuddyTV: You mentioned War Games earlier. A.L.I.E, is she Joshua?

Rothenberg: Well, I loved War Games, but she is an AI. She's an Artificial Intelligence, a sentient computer program that when she gained sentience, she sort of had the hard take off that Ray Kurzweil talked about in "The Singularity is Near," which is a book everyone should read certainly as we go into Season 3. 

Ultimately, [she] looked on mankind for one reason or another -- all of which we will explore in Season 3 -- and was in fact responsible for the end of the world. We never answered that question before. We never brought up that question really before. And we plan on playing in that world more in Season 3. 

Is she Joshua? She's an AI who ended the world and ultimately was trapped in some way by her creator, whether it's that guy in the video or not, remains to be seen, but was trapped in that house for 97 years.  He wasn't able to stop her from ending the world, from launching the nukes, but he was able to trap her. The big questions for Season 3 are: What does she want? Why is she like this? What does she mean when she says we have work to do?
