'The 100' Season 7 Episode 8: Prequel lead Callie is an instant favorite, fans say she gives off 'Clarke vibes'
Spoilers for 'The 100' Season 7 Episode 8 'Anaconda'
With the prequel backdoor pilot of 'The 100' on The CW finally here, fans are already clamoring for more. One of the main characters set for the potential prequel series that could be called 'Second Dawn' is Calliope "Callie" Cadogan (Iola Evans), who is an activist and fights for the causes in which she believes. However, when the apocalypse devastates the world she had been working so hard to save, Callie must find a new purpose — and future — for all that remains of humanity.
Callie is instantly a worthy successor to Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) who has been a great lead for 'The 100' for seven seasons. Callie is moral, strong, and brave and we cannot wait to see more of her. Not only does she stand up to her father, Bill Cadogan (John Pyper-Ferguson), she is also a great ally to Becca Franco (Erica Cerra), safekeeping the Flame, aka ALIE 2 and therefore the first Commander.
We were not the only ones who instantly loved Callie, even fans love her. 'The 100' actor Sachin Sahel who plays Eric Jackson may be one of the biggest fans among us. Sahel tweeted, "Callie is already the best of all of us. #The100 #SecondDawn #WeWantThe100Prequel," followed by another tweet, "Callie is so legit. She’s a freedom fighter with the mind of a certain super smart space mechanic. #The100 #SecondDawn #The100Prequel #WeWantThe100Prequel." A fan wrote, "Callie I already love you WE WANT THE 100 PREQUEL," while another tweeted, "I already know I’m gonna obsess over Callie #The100 #The100Prequel."
Viewers also loved Callie's interactions with Becca. A fan tweeted, "Ok but when Becca and Callie were talking science talk... that was SO attractive #The100 #SecondDawn." Another wrote, "Becca and Callie the duo we didn’t know we needed!" A fan asked, "Why are Callie and Becca so cute omg #The100?" While we would have loved to see more of it, we are not sure of it happening since Cadogan burned Becca at the stake. However, we may see another interaction in the prequel series if confirmed since it is likely they will interact within the Flame.
A fan tweeted, "#The100 Callie got Clarke vibes," while another wrote, "Callie and Clarke really serve badass female lead character vibes #The100." A fan opined, "Oh sh*t I like Callie..she reminds me of Clark and little of Octavia. #The100SecondDawn #The100Prequel #WeWantThe100Prequel #The100."
'The 100' airs on Wednesday nights on The CW at 8/7c.
