Lila82 February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Maya for the win! I still don't understand why she can't brush her hair, but I like her commitment to the cause. She might even make Jasper tolerable. Bellamy is such a dork! He just can't help himself with the mythology references. He is also about the most adorable thing in that uniform. Finally: only Bellamy, former lover of threesomes, would find two potential love interests while being drained of his blood. Let's keep this Clarke. She's focused and determined, but her heart has found its way back to her chest. Her conversation with Bellamy was perfect - she let him know that she really does care without losing sight of the mission. Octavia found her way into the warpaint and it's a good look on her. I like WarriorOctavia, especially because it means more Indra. Jaha is truly the worst, because he took Murphy who's creepy but has good one liners and comic timing, on his magical mystery tour, but left behind Abby, who's living in an alternate dimension where they're not at war and people actually care about her opinion. She was fine in season one, but serves zero purpose as the series progresses. Kane has learned to adapt and grown some scruff. Let's keep him. 5 Link to comment
ottoDbusdriver February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Where was all the blood on Bellamy's legs coming from during the shower scene ? He wasn't injured during last episode, and only Lincoln smeared blood on himself. We'll never know for sure as Lincoln was no where to be seen this episode. Abby is a terrible doctor -- getting drinking water out of a murky pond is a terrible idea. Clarke just said that she needs to get "back to the radio" to see if Bellamy has made contact -- but she had the radio with her in D.C. Shouldn't she have it with her ? Did Indra really say that the Mt. Weatherite was "her kill" referring to Octavia ? That is laughable. And why exactly was Octavia deserving of a kill ? And how exactly did the grounders find the Mt. Weatherite sniper squad ? Where were Octavia, Indra and a couple of grounders going in the first place in order to ambush these guys ? Last we saw they were all still training at Camp Jaha and negligible time has passed since the end of last episode, maybe a couple of hours (you know, enough time for Clarke and crew to ride from D.C. to Camp Jaha, all 60 or so miles). And where's Raven in this return trip to Camp Jaha after she was sliced and diced last episode -- walking back with her one good leg since there weren't enough horses ? </snark> Oh, that's why the grounders found the MT. Weatherites. It just so happens that the location where the Grounders jump the Mt. Weatherites is on the path back from D.C. to Camp Jaha ? Why would the Mt. Weatherites have been camped out in the middle of a frequently used trail ? Jasper whips it out in front of the President -- the President's sword from the President's desk, that is. But the President flips the tables since Jasper is easily overpowered by a senior citizen. Worst Secret Service detail in history -- doesn't even check through the glass doors to see what's going on with the President at all. I know the Mt. Weatherites clothing is supposed to look aged and stressed, but the President's suit jacket just looks like it's covered in dried jizz everywhere. And that's not a good thing. Where did Raven come from all of a sudden ? Seriously, she wasn't on the horseback trip with Clarke and Abby from D.C. -- how did she get to Camp Jaha ? Was there another express horseback convoy that went straight to Camp Jaha but took a different path ? But Raven shows up just in time to create a radiation free zone inside an airlock and to copy the little doodad that keeps the Reapers at bay. How convenient ? All those years of medical school and Abby is still using the tried and true trope of yelling at a patient to stay alive. Come on. Why would Maya even bother to wake Bellamy up from his deep upside down sleep ? And jump to the conclusion that a guy she had never seen before was from the Ark. What was it -- the haircut ? The lack of tattoos ? Better yet, how did she get into the secret blood-letting facility if she doesn't have clearance or for that matter have a passcard that works on that door ? Did they drop a scene where she lifted someone else's passcard ? Not buying super strong Bellamy after having been upside down for who knows how long and dropping a couple of pints of blood. And worse -- he killed a guy named Lovejoy. And why wasn't he bleeding all over the place from the holes they put in his chest ? And just like that, there's a coup by the President's son who is, of course, evil. Clarke is really letting power go to her head with her snippy "get on it" to Raven. And Raven really doesn't like princess Clarke ordering her around. I thought Abby was Chancellor, but the announcement over the PA at Camp Jaha stated "Chancellor Kane" -- did the PA guy not get the memo ? And Clarke, who was against torturing the Mt. Weatherite just moments beforehand, finds out that the Mt. Weatherite has her friend's blood flowing through his veins and she can't kill him fast enough. Leadership a la Clarke, a fine example to all the people. Bellamy is so nice to the little boy and then discovers he killed the kid's dad. That's a Twilight Zone level twist right there. Just as Clarke is about to give up on everything because she really doesn't know what the hell she's doing in the first place, a distant voice comes through on the radio that boost her spirits. How in the hell would Raven know how to disable the acid fog ? She has no idea what controls it or how its deployed -- but she's going to help Bellamy. Notice how Clarke doesn't ask Bellamy about Lincoln -- boy, is Octavia going to be pissed about that. You may be the Chancellor, but I'm in charge. Ummm, Clarke is going to get her comeuppance at some point because her mother is not going to let that slide. Little missy perky Clarke -- who moments ago had no idea what she was doing -- is now all super confident. Really Kane -- "The grounders trust Clarke, maybe we should too". And Clarke follows that up by getting all snippy with the guards ("Open the gate. Now."). Followed up by becoming a Class A motivator for the Mt. Weatherite by short-cutting his O2 supply. But by forcing him to run back to Mt. Weather at double-time he's going to use up oxygen quicker -- which basically means this dude will be dead on the trail back to Mt. Weather. Clarke is such an idiot. Octavia really needs some waterproof mascara, because she's looking scary now. And in the preview for next week: looks like Mt. Weather fires a missile off at D.C. or Camp Jaha -- gee, I hope it's a nuke because that's just what they need is more radiation flying around or a good dose of the black rain. 1 Link to comment
Coxfires February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Where was all the blood on Bellamy's legs coming from during the shower scene ? I have an idea that involves probing in wrong places...urgh Did Indra really say that the Mt. Weatherite was "her kill" referring to Octavia ? That is laughable. And why exactly was Octavia deserving of a kill ? I thought it was more seeing if Octavia had the guts to kill, more a test than a reward. Where did Raven come from all of a sudden ? Seriously, she wasn't on the horseback trip with Clarke and Abby from D.C. -- how did she get to Camp Jaha ? I fanwanked that last episode, when she wasn't there, she had been taken back to the Ark to be treated for the lashes, by some random Ark People. Why would Maya even bother to wake Bellamy up from his deep upside down sleep ? And jump to the conclusion that a guy she had never seen before was from the Ark. What was it -- the haircut ? The lack of tattoos ? Because usually Grounder-blood doesn't cure people as fast as the blood of "that guy" did. And Maya knows first hand how SkyPeople-blood can heal you fast since she was treated with Jasper. I can understand that she assumed Bellamy was a SkyPeople like Jasper because of his blood healing properties. Not buying super strong Bellamy after having been upside down for who knows how long and dropping a couple of pints of blood Not buying it either, but it was nice to see him finally kick someone's ass, because he pretty much lost every fight he'd been in until now. And Clarke, who was against torturing the Mt. Weatherite just moments beforehand, finds out that the Mt. Weatherite has her friend's blood flowing through his veins and she can't kill him fast enough. There was a nice parallel between this ep and S1, when Bellamy was freaking out without Clarke. Here she lost it until she heard his voice and knew he was in place in Mt Weather. I don't care for "Bellarke" in a romantic way, but I like that they show that they are better when they are a team. The episode felt slower with less momentum than the others, but it felt like a chess game where the players were making quiet but strategical moves. There were a few clichés I could have done without : "You are free...no you aren't!!"..."Oh an adorable kid!!! Whose Dad I just choked to Death!!" Next week, everything goes to shit, well to an even worse shit than it was!!! 4 Link to comment
Gwen-Stacys February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Where was all the blood on Bellamy's legs coming from during the shower scene ? He wasn't injured during last episode, and only Lincoln smeared blood on himself. We'll never know for sure as Lincoln was no where to be seen this episode. When was the last time any of them bathed? That blood could've come from anywhere. Did Indra really say that the Mt. Weatherite was "her kill" referring to Octavia ? That is laughable. And why exactly was Octavia deserving of a kill ? And how exactly did the grounders find the Mt. Weatherite sniper squad ? Where were Octavia, Indra and a couple of grounders going in the first place in order to ambush these guys ?

And where's Raven in this return trip to Camp Jaha after she was sliced and diced last episode -- walking back with her one good leg since there weren't enough horses ? </snark> Yes. Octavia is Indra's apprentice, why wouldn't she give her the kill if she's training her? I thought they were on their way back to camp Jaha when they got shot at by the Mt Weatherers. Clark made a comment (2 seconds before getting shot at) that their people (the grounders) were surveying the surrounding area around camp, which lends to the belief that they weren't that far from camp. When someone shoots someone, even long range, any "warrior" worth their salt can detect the general direction the shot came from. The grounders have been at war with Mt Weather for years, I'm sure they have a good enough understanding how their weapons work even if they refuse to use them. Where did Raven come from all of a sudden ? Seriously, she wasn't on the horseback trip with Clarke and Abby from D.C. -- how did she get to Camp Jaha ? Was there another express horseback convoy that went straight to Camp Jaha but took a different path ? But Raven shows up just in time to create a radiation free zone inside an airlock and to copy the little doodad that keeps the Reapers at bay. How convenient ? They obviously weren't traveling together. Kane is back at camp, Kane was there the last time Raven was seen with Clark (2 episodes ago, mind you...we didn't see Raven at all last episode). Not buying super strong Bellamy after having been upside down for who knows how long and dropping a couple of pints of blood. And worse -- he killed a guy named Lovejoy. And why wasn't he bleeding all over the place from the holes they put in his chest ? Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Just ask the Ninja Turtles and April Oneil. -And I thought those pads were moniters more than anything/this happens on a lot of tv shows not on AMC, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz. I thought Abby was Chancellor, but the announcement over the PA at Camp Jaha stated "Chancellor Kane" -- did the PA guy not get the memo ? Abby's on interim Chancellor but she refuses to give up the title. She has enough followers to keep the title without much of a fuckus/the other arkers probably don't really care. Maybe the PA guy is a Kane supporter and he letting it be known. And Clarke, who was against torturing the Mt. Weatherite just moments beforehand, finds out that the Mt. Weatherite has her friend's blood flowing through his veins and she can't kill him fast enough. Leadership a la Clarke, a fine example to all the people. Clark has shown before that she's not against violence and killing, just torture. She wasn't going to torture him, she was going to kill him. After releasing a fireball and letting 300 grounders burn to death, I doubt letting one person die of radiation poison (after finding out that they were bleeding her friends out) would keep her from sleeping at night. 3 Link to comment
absnow54 February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Finally: only Bellamy, former lover of threesomes, would find two potential love interests while being drained of his blood. Yeah, I don't know if Bob Morley just sparks with everyone they put him in a scene with, but I was really feeling him with the grounder girl. Maya, who I've been pretty indifferent towards, was awesome this episode. I hope she sticks around. Abby is a terrible doctor -- getting drinking water out of a murky pond is a terrible idea. Drink the stagnant water, Claire! It was so gross. I couldn't tell you what happened in the scene, I was just staring in horror at that puddle. 2 Link to comment
shrewd.buddha February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 (edited) Wow. There are leadership confrontations and killing at every turn -- like some kind of crazy pinball machine of fighting. The Grounders are always ready to fight the Sky People, and kill everyone and everything. The Sky People are always power-playing and fighting among themselves (Clarke vs Abby vs Jaha vs ..). The Mountain People are now fighting among themselves and are fighting the Grounders and the Sky People. It's all a bit much all the time... We know the Mountain People are trapped in one location. But what is the excuse for the Grounders not finding a less killing-fields neighborhood to live in? And we know Clarke and the Sky People are sticking to one spot because their people are prisoners. Clarke & the Sky People should now be the name of this show.. Edited February 5, 2015 by shrewd.buddha 2 Link to comment

Coxfires February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 That makes more sense than 'The 100', which really has no meaning anymore. I don't think it matters, honestly. The 100 were just the mean to launch the story, and then things changed. After all, it is not like we ever followed the 100 specifically and met all of them, only the most proeminent, and even at the beginning, with what was going on on the Ark, it was never about the 100 only. The Sky People are always power-playing and fighting among themselves (Clarke vs Abby vs Jaha vs ..). The Mountain People are now fighting among themselves and are fighting the Grounders and the Sky People. That's pretty realistic though. Inner power struggles are always going on, be it in a company/sports team/country governance...People might have a common ennemy, there are always going to be people wanting to have the power, that is human nature 2 Link to comment
patchwork February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 I still don't trust Maya. I know I know she's been nothing but helpful but I find anyone who turns against their people as quickly as she did suspicious. I did like that Bellamy told Clarke about the kids at Mt Weather and that they needed a plan that doesn't result in mass slaughter. But of course I'm easy give me a Bellarke moment and I'm happy. The change in Mt Weather's leadership has been obvious for a while but it was well handled and as monstrous as they're actions are some of it is kinda understandable. They're trapped in an underground bunker and they can see other people can not just live but thrive on the surface, that's going to screw with you. I don't think Abbey would be protesting so much if it was anyone other than her baby girl holding the alliance together. 1 Link to comment
tennisgurl February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Yeah, I feel like Abbeys issues are more that Clark is still her daughter, who she still thinks of as her kid, than a leader holding a tenuous alliance together. The big scene at the end with Clark was cool to watch, but I feel like its going to end up causing problems. Interesting how it was paralleled with the coup in the Mountain. As horrible as the doctor and the son are, I do at least understand where they're coming from. They think they deserve to live outside, and it is tragic that they have to stay locked up in a bunker for ever. It cant justify hurting the remaining members of the 100, but at least they aren't just doing it for the sake of evil. I`m ok with Bellamy being able to strangle that guy. Like Gwen-Stacys said, adrenaline is pretty powerful, and the basic desire to get the hell away from people who want to lock you in the cage and experiment on you! Bellamy is probably my favorite character, so I`m just happy he is getting more to do now. Link to comment
thuganomics85 February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Hey, Abby and Raven are back, and both of them were kind of annoying. At least Raven got it together at the end and I think a lot of it was her still smarting over Finn's death. Abby though, was just obnoxious. I do think it was because she just can't help but to see Clarke as her daughter, so it is understandable, but I was glad when Clarke finally put her in her place, and she realized she lost this battle. Kane though, is continuing to be willing to just let Clarke lead, so I wonder what that means, if anything. Glad Bellamy is finally getting more to do and is going to play a big part in the endgame. Maya was interesting this time, and I enjoyed their scenes. And, yeah, I totally thought Bellamy had chemistry with that Grounder woman, so lets see if that is going to lead to anything. Not surprised over the Mt. Weather change of power. Had a feeling this was heading towards the son overthrowing the father. But, I have a feeling that keeping him alive is going to bite them. Wallace strikes me as someone who will do something to dick them all over, if given the chance. Aww, Octavia is already becoming Indra's perfect little apprentice! I can't wait for Bellamy to find out about this. Link to comment
SourK February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 My favourite part was the part where Kane more or less told Abby that he didn't care which of them held the title of Chancillor, as long as he still had all the power to make decisions about who they would torture. That was really big of him. Because usually Grounder-blood doesn't cure people as fast as the blood of "that guy" did. And Maya knows first hand how SkyPeople-blood can heal you fast since she was treated with Jasper. I can understand that she assumed Bellamy was a SkyPeople like Jasper because of his blood healing properties. That's what I got, too. It went by really fast, but I think they tried to show us the logic of how she reached that conclusion by having the Tragedy Guard notice that there was something strange about the treatment.

driedfruit February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 (edited) I wish this show would give Raven more to do. She was my favorite character last season, but she doesn't have much to do other than to yell at Clarke these days. Abby doesn't make sense as a character. She is against torture? Okay. But since when? She's from a culture where even petty crimes were punished with death. It's hard for me to buy her moral high ground. It seems like she's just being used as a road block for Clarke's development, which is fine I guess. But I wish the mother/daughter conflict made more sense so I could be invested instead always wanting Abby to shut it and step aside. Bellamy and Maya actually did things this episode and chances are, will be doing things in the next one. Good for them. Kane though, is continuing to be willing to just let Clarke lead, so I wonder what that means, if anything. Kane is a smart guy. He might be ruthless, but for him it's about ruthlessly doing right by his people. Otherwise, he isn't much of a power grabber for the sake of having power in the same vein as Jaha, or even Abby. I think he just believes in Clarke as a capable leader for now, and god knows he has every reason to since the girl has singlehandedly saved everyone's asses for the past couple of episodes.

KittenPokerCheater February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 This episode was (I think) a vast improvement over the last one. Glad we got more Bellamy and Jasper. Ship or not, I like it when Clarke and Bellamy work together. They make a good team. And Raven is growing on me, in the good kind of ways. There was no Jaha (yay), and glad Raven was back from her episode-day-off. All the political/adult storylines seem so silly. When they try to act all "parent" and adult, it seems like they are the ones who come off more childish. Link to comment

And Raven is growing on me, in the good kind of ways. Yeh that is what has been missing this year. I enjoyed Clarke and Bellamy working together the first year because they were sort of a good compliment to each other and at least in Bellamy's case sort of an unlikely leader. Clarke was not perfection and neither was Bellamy. But this year it has been Clarke who can do no wrong and that is boring to me. I enjoyed / enjoy Bellamy's flawed leadership. His heart is in the right place but he doesn't always make the best choices. Missed that entire aspect of the show. This episode gave me some of it. Plus Bob Morley in the undies. On that note, I am a little annoyed at the lack of Raven. She is an amazing character and I always feel she is under used. There is so much she could be doing to help and even a romance with her cute co worker there and she can go entire episodes complete squandered. And on that note... Abby and Kane are so boring. Move their plot lines along. Give them something to do other than ring their hands about Clarke being in charge. And if they are going to have a romance, get on with it. Geeze. 1 Link to comment
Tippi Blevins February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 (edited) I thought the blood in the shower was supposed to be from getting scrubbed with those push brooms. But then later, Bellamy's skin looks completely undamaged, so I guess not. Unless he healed even faster than usual. It was sort of nice of the mountain men to give him some nice clean underpants, though. Totally over Abby. I liked her last season, but ugh this season.

Not surprised they scrubbed those guys clean, burned their clothing (I assume) and gave them fresh undies, what with the crappy immune systems among the Weatherites and all. Couldn't agree more about Abby. It's okay for Clarke to be upset because someone tried to kill her? People might get hurt?

ottoDbusdriver February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 Where are Raven's scars? We're going to pretend those cuts weren't deep? No kidding -- nice catch @In2you. The continuity guy was probably busy playing online poker or swiping left or something. Raven had several huge knife slashes: to her right arm on the tricep between her elbow and shoulder (courtesy of Lexa) a six inch gash across the right side of her stomach (courtesy of Indra) another on her left arm on the tricep between her elbow and shoulder a small gash on the left side of her stomach a 6+ inch gash on her chest directly below her breasts Yet despite the complete lack of painkillers or any other form of modern medicine, she had no bandages on either of her bare arms and throughout the course of the episode was in no pain whatsoever when she moved. And I seriously doubt that the Grounder healer tossed in a few stitches for good measure. Considering that she supposedly walked all the way back from D.C. (some 60+ miles) all those wounds should have been open and bleeding profusely. And despite not changing her shirt that she was wearing, there was no cuts in her shirt or blood her shirt (should have at least been able to see the cut on her chest). Did she stop at a coin-operated laundry on the way back from D.C. ? And a clothing store with a worn version of the identical shirt she has been wearing since the Ark ? Does Clarke even have a bandage on her left forearm anymore, where she shredded it getting out of quarantine ? Especially after she intentionally ripped out the stitches in order to get back into the medical ward in Mt. Weather. Because it's only been about a week or so in showtime since that happened. Does she have a bandage on her shoulder where she was shot by Camp Jaha security forces while returning with Anya ? Because she seems to have free use of he right arm and is in no pain. 1 Link to comment
Jacks-Son February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Wow, tough crowd. I thought this was one of their best episodes yet. I applaud the Director for really stringing sequences together almost flawlessly, especially the end sequence starting with President Wallace, to Cage, to the 47, and then that slow walk with Clarke, Octavia, Indra, and crew. Like the description of the episode says, Clarke stepped up. She had an almost commanding presence when she told the guard, "Don't". I have to admit, Eliza Taylor and Lindsey Morgan, are better actors than Marie Avgeropoulos. As for Abby, I'm a huge Paige Turco fan and enjoyed her as Zoe on "Person of Interest". Her character is that of a strong-willed woman who raised an equally strong- willed daughter. I know, as a mother, she's afraid for her daughter, but really, she should be proud. I did miss Lexa, though. I like her character and I want to see more of her and Clarke together. They make a good team. 2 Link to comment

I think Abby would be proud of Clarke if it weren't for the fact that being the leader puts a big honking target on her back. It's this fear and probably the doubt that Clarke isn't old enough for the wisdom that such a responsibility entails. As long as it's dangerous, Abby will probably never stop being afraid for Clarke. Thinking Clarke has the wisdom and ability to do the job is something that she'll just have to come to terms with through time and observation. Link to comment

Lady Calypso September 14, 2017 Share September 14, 2017 I assume this season will end with either the President killing his son, or his son killing him. I thought that might have happened in this episode, with Son Dickface killing his dad, but since he only captured him, I assume the President will get his revenge on his disobeying son and the doctor. I get Abby's concern....if she hadn't reunited with her daughter several episodes ago. Now, it's just annoying we keep getting the whole "Clarke is a child and she must not get involved in Adult Business" attitude. I mean, she can be concerned with Clarke and her safety, but at this point, she should have learned that Clarke actually knows better than she does, so it's better to compromise instead of just saying no. I mean, Kane did...I think. Well, either Kane has learned it and accepted that Clarke is the leader, or he has an endgame in place that requires Clarke's connection with the Grounders. I won't be surprised if he goes back to being a dick at the end of the season. But it was nice to see Clarke take command over her mother. To be fair, the adults have been screwing the plans up quite a bit while Clarke and the other kids' plans have worked out. I'm fine with no Jaha or Murphy this episode. I was getting a little tired of their subplot; it's too disconnected. On another note, Jasper/Monty's plot has become more interesting BECAUSE we're finally getting somewhere with the plot finally being interwoven with other characters. Bellamy and Maya are now working together, which is great. I'm liking Maya a bit more...but I assume that means she's dead at some point. Octavia gets her warpaint, and it really does look good on her. And how nice that she actually cares about Bellamy first. It was nice to hear his name being mentioned before Lincoln's for once. Raven's great at what she does, but it sucks that she gets stuck at the base and doesn't have that much to do. Maybe now that they finally gave Bellamy something that Raven will get her turn soon. Hopefully, everyone's reunited soon. I miss the ensemble feel with the kids; everyone is totally separated this season, and I miss the dynamics like Clarke/Bellamy, Raven/Clarke, and Octavia/anyone but Lincoln. 1 Link to comment
Jacks-Son September 16, 2017 Share September 16, 2017 Well, you've got a long way to go to catch up if you want to be ready for the new season. However, regarding THIS episode, it is one of my favorites. Not only is the music outstanding, but the acting, story, and most especially the DIRECTING were superb. Scenes flowed into each other flawlessly, and of course the capper was Clarke coming into her own and taking command of the 13th clan, Skaikru. The song, "Empire of Our Own", by RAIGN was a perfect choice for the ending sequence that began with the incarceration of the President by his son, and the Mountain captives looking to Jasper to lead them as Clarke led the members of Trikru to free Emerson and send him with a message for the Mountain Men. Damn good stuff. Link to comment
