The CW's post-apocalyptic sci-fi series The 100 featured a lot of loss throughout its 100 episodes, but these The 100 deaths are the saddest in the show.

When studios pick up a show and approve a season or occasionally, multiple seasons, writers need to plan carefully to ensure the season ends in an engaging way that will draw viewers back in and set up further seasons.

This is a poignant message – and a common one in the zombie genre – but the problem with an expansive, interconnected zombie franchise like The Walking Dead is that there’s only so many ways to convey that message before getting repetitive.
