Calling all fans of The 100: let’s see what clues about season 2 you can get out of these tantalizing tweets from the writing staff!

We’ve combed through their feed to bring you the funniest, best, and most head-scratching tweets about The 100 season 2 (this list also includes tweets from the writers themselves).
Read along, and share your own theories about what the quotes might be referring to in the comments.

Alright, who’s taking off their shirt? Is it Lincoln? It’s gotta be Lincoln.
Overheard as @the100writers watch dailies: Well, that's gonna surprise America. #The100
— Kim Shumway (@kimshum) October 8, 2014
Wow. Our imaginations are running wild. What could surprise America?! Killing a lead character? Revealing that the show is actually set in Australia? Bringing back the Twinkie?

Overheard in @the100writers' room: It's like Village of the Blowhards. #The100
— Kim Shumway (@kimshum) October 8, 2014
Yeah, we’re not even gonna touch that one.
Overheard in @the100writers' room: He's like Mephistopheles. #The100
— Kim Shumway (@kimshum) October 7, 2014
Mephistopheles is a servant of Satan, by the way. Who could they be talking about? Murphy? A new Grounder? Or the mysterious leader of the Mountain Men, perhaps?
Overheard in #the100 writers' room: "Seven thousand dollars to remove panties is a transaction I understand."

Um, yeah, we kinda hope that this one has nothing to do with the show.
Overheard in @the100writers' room: Anyone who says the word "radio" has to leave the room for 45 minutes. #The100

Is this just an offhand comment, or are they referring to the overuse of walkie-talkies as a communicative device on the show? We can imagine there’s a fair bit of it in the season 2 premiere, with Jaha on the Ark all by himself.
Overheard in @the100writers' room: He's a mad adorable fool. Like Moses. #The100

Awwww, Finn must still be alive! Bless him.
Overheard in #the100 Writers' Room: "Can my nickname be 'Predator'?"

…Aaaaand Finn’s dead. Along with Octavia, Jasper and Abby. And everyone else. In fact…
#The100's 4 on @TVGMMattRoush's Top 10 Must-See Shows. 4 is also the # of characters who survive season 2. #jk #maybe pic.twitter.com/AQVDiE4z2v

Well, we can’t wait for season 3 then. It’ll just be Bellamy hanging out with Monty, Anya and Murphy, we guess. And you know what, we’d watch that sitcom.
We also recommend checking out the writers’ Tumblr page – they do answer fan questions, but don’t expect any big spoilers (we’ve looked).
The 100 season 2, episode 1 “The 48” airs Wednesday, October 22 at 9/8c on The CW! See the first promo for the episode here.
