  1. They've time travelled at least twice so it would be easy enough to do it again and plant the comic book in the past or maybe it's something to do with Cassandra/Alice. It's a shame Margo separated from the group so quickly but I do want to know what's going on with the fairies and Fen as acting High King.
  2. I'm half expecting that there will be a twist regarding Octavia and Madi. Clarke and Gaia are so convinced Octavia is this big threat to her that I think that killing Madi will be something Octavia can't bring herself to do. Probably the redeeming moment for Bloodreina. To be honest I don't understand the nightblood rules, at some point they were all manufactured nightbloods starting with Beca and there's even some among Prisonkru so if you're only a true nightblood if you're born that way will Clarke's and Prisonkru's kids be classed as true nightbloods and eligible for the flame?
  3. I'm still not feeling Becho but after this episode I'm definitely warming up to Echo herselff. She's one smart assassin/spy and I respect the fact that she would rather go it alone than give up the defectors. The 100 has a lot of failings but I like how it writes for its female characters because they're usually individuals with their own motivations first and foremost. The male characters suffer from Sexy Lamp Syndrome, hello Lincoln, more than the female ones. I'd rather neither did but it's unusual to find it this way round especially on a CW show. So Bellamy with his 6 years of training beat the mighty Bloodreina when trained from birth Grounders couldn't. Gaia was a surprise, it looks like Octavia might be the one driving the crazy train after all. I'm looking forward to the Wanheda, Bloodreina showdown, Madi might not want to be Commander but there's not going to stop other people from wanting her to be and Clarke isn't going to react well to anything that puts her daughter in danger.
  4. I guess Clarke and Madi's nightblood makes them unappealing to the worms so the worst they experienced was a few bites. Octavia's the worst, she really is. Why make sure your army's in one piece and able to fight by taking the long way round when you can make them walk through glass sandstorms. All Wonkru really have in their favour is that they outnumber Prisonkru and she's putting that advantage at risk by being impatient. I can understand why in the bunker her word had to become law, even though I question the necessity of the whole gladiator cult thing, but they're no longer isolated in the bunker so she needs to relax the whole 'question me and you're the enemy of Wonkru' stance. Not that it matters for Bellamy because he reached enemy status when Octavia saw the Becho kiss. Did Octavia say that the farm was failing?
  5. The James/Lena scene was great, it's a shame that the show doesn't give Mehcad Brooks much to do but the idea of the plot falls apart when they have a shapeshifter who could pose as Tanya and could easily handle some unpowered humans so James' secret identity wouldn't have ever actually been at risk. I did love the Mon El moment when he kinda rolled his eyes and just stood there as the humans punched him.
  6. There's a spaceship with mining equipment so I'm sure that the rubble on top of the bunker door will be cleared by the end of the next episode or the beginning of the one after that.
  7. The background was hard to hear but I'm sure I heard Diyoza thank the Lieutenant during the Captain's Log scene so he probably helped the prisoners because the space navy had a nefarious plan for the prisoners but he either already regrets it or is going to. The prisoners clashing with Wonkru seems inevitable. I hope the Clarke/Space gang one episode, the Bunker the next pattern breaks next week. I need to know Marcus is okay but also I don't want to spend that much time with Octavia.
  8. He'll probably stay with Imra and got back to the 31st century at the end of this season then Mon El will return in some plotty way without a wife in season 4. After all the build up killing two of the Worldkillers so quickly is a huge disappointment. Julia killing Pestilence before Purity regained control would have been enough to stop the eclipse world ending magic and would have left the door open for both Julia and Sam to survive. I'm pretty sure they're not going to kill off Sam even if she and Ruby do end up moving away/be put on a bus to Nowheresville so it would be nice if Julia did too. Lena totally knows and she's okay with Kara lying until Kara gets all self righteous about secret keeping. Most of the time I'm kinda meh on Lena but if she keeps up the verbal slapdowns like in this episode she'll easily become a favourite.
  9. The lesson Syd teaches David doesn't seem to match current day Syd's Stand By My Man mindset. I wonder if we're looking at a Days of Future Past situation here where futureSyd swaps minds with presentSyd in order to toughen David up so whatever horrible thing happens can be prevented.
  10. Add Raven to that list then I totally agree with you. If this season is supposed to take place over a day then we're going to be getting GOT level fast travel.
  11. Felicity was probably sharing a room with Oliver but after the rehearsal dinner blow up asked if she could sleep on the couch in the Danvers' room. The Martin/Catlin scenes were sweet. I'm assuming she learned about Ronnie's namesake in Offscreenville. I haven't been watching Flash this season, so I see they got a new Wells and Killer Frost is still an thing. Is there anything else I should know?
  12. If this was Adam's last episode I'm a little disappointed that none of his "show" gimmicks returned. He was obviously never going to be long term and I'm not broken up that he's gone but I liked him. Magda is the logical pick which is why I think it was Catherine and somehow she's going to own the Marbella by the end of the season.
  13. I think if we do see Jughead and Toni waking up together it's going to be a remorseful morning after. I have wondered if Toni has been given orders to be nice to Jughead and has caught feelings along the way. It's such a waste for her to just be a speedbump for Betty and Jughead, maybe she working with the lawyer to get FB's son to join the Serpents to make sure FB stays loyal. If Jughead is a Serpent by blood then is Betty and Polly or does the fact Alice's obviously left the gang void that? Sadly Bughead's break up has been on the cards since episode two when he started lying to her. I like the Pretty Little Liars thing they did with Betty this ep and hope they keep it up for a while. I have my problems with that show but the cat and mouse game between the girls and A kept dragging me back in. Betty's actress is great and I was well and truly creeped out by the abandoned house scenes.
  14. I can see Baby being dropped in favour of Michaelina as a B or C plotline at some point. Petra and Jane's fight in the Kids' CLub was hilarious. I'm hoping that the Marbella burns down with Luisa inside it. Raf can be the beneficiary or something so he gets the money back but it causes him to rethink its importance. I like the novella aspects of the show but it's repeating the same plotline over and over. The Marbella needs to go or they find some other source of barely plausible drama for a while.
  15. I know the ending heavily implies clone!Beth but the big personality switch makes me wonder if she didn't ask Rick to reduce her intelligence.
  16. When campaign manager Morty floats by you see photos of evil Morty, one wearing the eyepatch and working on Rick's brain, one from the end of that episode when the Mortys are being loaded onto the ships, then one of him in the business suit looking all evil dictator.
  17. I expect both Dany and Jon to die heroic deaths in the end, along with the dragons and Ghost. Leaving the less extraordinary people to carry on and try to live up to their example. This is where Dany and Jon's lack of future proofing is really going mess things up. What does "break the wheel" even mean? If Dany has a plan for this I don't think she's shared it with anyone. Jon is all about making new alliances even with old enemies but Show!Jon at least doesn't do anything to make it work other than giving speeches. I can see the Seven Kingdoms breaking up and the Dothraki and Wildlings becoming a real problem.
  18. I half expect the prophecy to be fulfilled by Cersei's own children, on the show at least. After a difficult labour, she gives birth to a daughter (the younger more beautiful queen) and she could have survived it if there wasn't another child (the little brother). Cersei never regains her health, she knows she's dying and it drives her wild fire nuts. If she can't reign then no one will sort of thing.
  19. The Golden Company are mercenaries why would they stick around after they find out about the army of the dead? I'm expecting them to have one big battle/pay day before running back to Essos. Now that the NK has brought down the wall (kinda) shouldn't his zombie AOA start to affect the Seven Kingdoms?
  20. I agree, twice now the Northern houses have declared their independence and crowned one of their own as the king. Jon's focus is the army of the dead and he's happy to follow Dany if it means she'll help to fight his war but this is the same narrow thinking that got him killed by the Nights Watch. Jon is going to luck out because once news of the Wall breaking is known the Northern houses will fall in line behind Jon and Dany but serving another southern ruler isn't what they want. Dany might intend to name him Warden of the North but I'm not sure she understands that Winterfell doesn't belong to Jon and the political side of his kingship wasn't exactly sorted out before he handed his authority over to someone else.
  21. If nothing else this proves we desperately need a Robert's Rebellion mini series so we can understand exactly what happened. These flashbacks aren't doing Rhaeger and Lyanna any favours and they raise more questions than they answer.
  22. Arya holds a grudge so I can see her looking for and seeing season 1 Sansa in current day Sansa but I'm hoping that this is leading up to the sisters joining forces to take down Littlefinger rather than them falling into one of his schemes. I didn't get a chance to comment on last week's episode so I'll say this here, Arya has a distinctive Braavos style of fighting and Littlefinger has connections to that country both by blood and by being the former Master of Coins so I think he recognised the water dance style but he didn't link Arya to the House of Black and White. He's doesn't know she's a Faceless Man (woman?) assassin just that she was in Braavos long enough to learn how to fight. I remember from the books that street challenges were common. Littlefinger is dismissing Arya as another Stark all temper and no brains and he's planning to use that trait to isolate Sansa from her family while promoting her to QitN. It's no coincidence that the grumbling Northern lords are now wondering if they should have chosen Sansa as their leader and Littlefinger is leading Arya to the letter Sansa wrote to Robb while she was a hostage. Littlefinger even while in the North is plotting how to get his backside on the Iron Throne. That Sansa has thought in the back of her mind that if Jon dies she'll need the support of the lords to keep the North together isn't surprising, it's normal for someone in her position. I'd be more surprised if she wasn't considering the angles.
  23. Dany and Jon always felt too fairytale for me to get into as a pairing before but I was willing to be convinced unfortunately having now seen them together romance wise for me they lack spark. I did like their last scene, after Tyrion convinced them both to get over themselves, where they were just two good people with different aims trying to find some middle ground. Littlefinger gave Sansa some good advice, of course you can't plan for everything but having a contingency plan for the stuff you are aware of is good leadership. The part about everyone being your enemy she should forget. I think the idea behind the armour is that Royce's man was making summer/Vale armour and Sansa was pointing out what any northerner could. The reunion felt cold, it was filmed in many ways like her reunion with Jon, loved that her mask slipped before she hugged him, but as Bran is now a tree man he couldn't respond to her as Brandon Stark only as the Three Eyed Raven. Proving his powers by bringing up one of the worst nights of her life was low, no wonder she hurried away, that's now two brothers who were witness to her horrific wedding night. I'm curious if Arya is still on her way to Winterfell, her "that's not you" could also mean she's reconsidered and the Lady Stoneheart plot is back on.
  24. I loved the opening scene, NOW the Red Wedding has been avenged. It'll probably never happen but I'd love a scene later in the season where Arya and Sansa are circlejerking their 'the world and people suck' opinions and Jon and Bran are in the background with WTF faces. I just want my Stark reunion. If Little Miss I'm So Tough can voice her opinions during the King's court so can the Lady of Winterfell and I'm not going to get into whether Jon or Sansa is right or wrong because they both have valid points. The big problem is that Jon is ruling like he's he's the Night Commander, even Dany has a Small Council and it's so that everything has already been discussed and the decision already made before it's presented to everyone else. Jon needs to organise his kingdom. In the books I'm all for Brienne and Jamie but Brienne and Tormund have won me over in the show. He worships her and I love it.
