The 100 Interview: Lindsey Morgan Says Raven's in Hell

Raven just can't get a break, can she? She got blown up AGAIN! If she was in both emotional and physical pain before, how will she live with herself after the Mount Weather explosion? Her path of recovery has hit a major roadblock.

I sat down with Lindsey Morgan to discuss Raven's journey in The 100 Season 3. You can find the first part of the interview here: Lindsey Morgan Interview at BuddyTV.

The decision to unlock the missiles at Mount Weather provided an escape for Raven in "Ye Who Enter Here. "Raven finally has a purpose and finally has a task, finally has something that she can put her mind on that isn't how much am I hurting today," Morgan said.

Of course, that all changed.

"When it's a total twist and Mount Weather blows instead of Polis, Raven is just in pieces, just absolutely in pieces and feels how could I have let this happen and how could I have failed so many people," Morgan said. "It's almost like she was at the rock bottom before and now she's in hell."

Will Raven be able to move on from that? It's going to be a challenge for her. "There were talks of Raven of being suicidal ... that's where her mentality would be. What happens isn't that, obviously, but it's drastic enough. Raven does something so kinda un-Raven to alleviate her pain. She's trying to do anything she can," Morgan said.

Is there any glimmer of hope that Raven can find happiness? Morgan teased, "There is. [Fans] will see that. It's a really interesting journey. I wish I could tell you more about how you're going to get both. You're gonna see Raven happy and you're gonna see Raven miserable and you're gonna see Raven in a whole new light."

When asked to summarize Raven's journey through The 100 Season 3, Morgan summed it up as "Somebody you wouldn't expect to hit rock bottom, won't tell anyone. Then finds a way out that has dire consequences."

The 100 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on the CW.

The Vampire Diaries Interview: Kat Graham Teases the Mid-Season Finale

It's Christmas time on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 9, "Cold as Ice," and there's a lot stirring after Lily's sacrifice. While Stefan and Damon search for Julian, Caroline and Alaric are dealing with her unique pregnancy.

This leaves Bonnie to work a Toys for Tots drive without her friends. BuddyTV caught up with Kat Graham on set in Atlanta to find out what Bonnie's up to for the holidays and the surprising person who shows up to help her at the toy drive.

"The Christmas episode is actually when you start to see Bonnie interacting more with the Heretics and you start to see those storylines develop," teases Graham. This is a change from when Bonnie was killing Heretics or being with those who were killing the Heretics.

After performing a disappearing act, Rowena's back to help the Winchester brothers deal with their Darkness problem in Supernatural Season 11 Episode 9, "O Brother Where Art Thou?" And, it may have to do with a certain someone in a cage. We caught up with Ruth Connell to find out what brings Rowena back, how the reunion with Crowley goes, Rowena's reaction to Lucifer and more.

Supernatural Interview: Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki Tease "Unique Alliances Taking Shape">>>

BuddyTV: What brings Rowena back?

Connell: Thank goodness Rowena's been pulled back in. ... There's a big cliffhanger in this episode and it very much leads into Episode 10 and we filmed the episodes together. It might actually be that the Winchesters might need something from her. I think when we last saw her, they needed her to free Castiel and here they are again. She's like their nice aunty, she keeps helping them. You'll see how she's brought back in. It's a bit of fun.

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?

'The 100' Season 2 Finale Interview: EP Jason Rothenberg Teases 'It Can Always Get Darker'

The 100 finale is already here. In "Blood Must Have Blood, Part Two," the battle between the Sky People and the Mountain Men hits the peak of its crescendo in epic fashion. With all hope lost, Clarke, Octavia, Bellamy, Jasper and Monty have to find a way to save their people. What sacrifices will they have to make along the way?

BuddyTV spoke with Executive Producer and Creator Jason Rothenberg to find out how Clarke moves on after Lexa's betrayal, whether there's any hope in this world, Jaha's quest for the City of Light and the difficult decision facing Clarke.

BuddyTV: Clarke at the end of "Blood Must Have Blood, Part One," she was left just standing there. How is she able to take that disappointment and forge forward with her people in danger.

Rothenberg: That moment is designed obviously to be the lowest of the low. The low point where everything she had going into the episode and into the ultimate battle for Mount Weather was taken away from her including the woman she had been falling for romantically. Everything is taken away from her in that moment. And her people are left to die and she has no way in and when we find her that's where she still is. 

She doesn't know how she's going to do this. She knows that door's not an option so she heads to the door she knows about. That's where she finds Octavia and of course things transpire from there.  I think it's always darkest before the dawn, but I guess in The 100 it can always get darker. [Laughs] And that's where this episode begins.

The Following Review: "Let Me Go"

The Following changed things up in "Let Me Go." The hour wasn't nearly as shocking as previous ones partially because the show has taught the viewers that anything is possible at any time, but also because the shocks shifted to thrilling suspense.

It's All About Ryan
Joe has spent 9 years working on his masterpiece and Ryan is his muse. With nothing else to do in prison but put together his plan, it's not surprising that he is able to stay ahead of the FBI. Joe's utter disregard for the lives of his followers and seemingly endless supply of people who will willingly or forcibly help him only makes it more difficult.

When the series first started, it was surprising to see how easily to was for Joe to escape from prison and then shocking that he purposefully allowed himself to be caught, but almost nothing he is able to do is unbelievable any more.

While that removed the shock factor from The Following, it's been replaced by an intriguing, complex  thriller that remains full of suspense. It was immediately clear that Joe requested a transfer as part of his plan, though the purpose remained a mystery.

Vikings Interview with George Blagden

On Sunday, a new, epic drama, Vikings, will premiere on History. The show follows the adventures of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a warrior, who wants to set sail to the west in conflict with his chieftain, Earl Haraldson's (Gabriel Byrne) wishes. Though, the series is about much more. It's about Ragnar's family, the Viking society, religion, and the aftermath of Ragnar's first journey.

I recently spoke with George Blagden who plays the Christian monk, Athelstan. He discusses why he was drawn to the project, the brutality and humanity of the Vikings, and the role of women in this culture.

What was it about this show or role that inspired you to take on this project?

I wanted to be part of something that I thought, "Why has this not been done before?" The Vikings story must be such an exciting one to tell and why have people have not done this yet. 

And, when we actually got on the project and started filming, I had no idea the educational experience I was going to have in learning about these people. It's very epic. It's everything I dreamed the Vikings would be and more. I loved learning about them.

The Vampire Diaries Review: "Stand By Me"

Elena should be an expert at losing people she loves by now. Her parents died, Jenna died, Alaric died, just to name a few, but none compared to the pain of losing Jeremy, her last family member. In the most heartbreaking Vampire Diaries episode in four seasons, "Stand By Me," was tragic in many ways.

Executive Producer Julie Plec's script was masterful in both words and at times even more so for the lack of words, while the cast was amazing in their performances. Nina Dobrev embodied Elena's pain fully and her monologue while preparing to burn down the house will be difficult to forget. As I sit here writing, uncontrollable tears come to my eyes.

Suits Season 2 Finale Review: "War"

On the Suits finale, the war for the firm was on. Jessica on one side with Edward's support for their firms to merge and Harvey on the other side. Bets were placed that would guaranteed that there would be no winners.

"War" was practically mutually assured destruction. Even though no one died, relationships were destroyed that will be difficult to repair. Harvey brought lawsuits against Edward's clients and the first attack was launched.

If Harvey won, then Edward would go away and the merger would be off. If Harvey lost, he would work for the newly merged firm with an extended non-compete contract, all without his name on the door. Ouch.

The Walking Dead: Lauren Cohan Interview

The Walking Dead is finally back to complete its season 3 run. In the winter finale, a battle was waged by the prison group against Woodbury in order to rescue Maggie and Glenn. The couple escaped in the melee, but the ramifications of their time in Woodbury will stay with them.
Lauren Cohan spoke to BuddyTV about what's coming up for Maggie and Glenn, as well as, for the group on what she calls, "a family drama with a very interesting back drop."
Maggie went through a traumatic event with the Governor and Merle, does she let it stick with her?
Cohan: She is able to overcome it eventually. It's a little harder for her to let it go. She doesn't want revenge quite as much as Glenn does but she is still shaking off the repercussions of that. They regret too that she and Glenn got themselves into that by maybe not being as watchful as they could have and getting kidnapped by Merle. Yeah, it was pretty traumatic. Maggie is usually able to bounce back and she maybe she doesn't bounce back as quickly from this.
