ottoDbusdriver July 11, 2018 Share July 11, 2018 Based on the episode title, when the Warriors are all dead this is what is going to be read after the funeral in order to disburse their assets to others. </sarcasm> Or maybe next episode the title will be 'The Warriors Won't'. 2 Link to comment

Well, if I thought the writers knew how to use an apostrophe, I'd think your idea about the next episode title is more likely. But whether referring to their determination or the disbursement of their assets after death, I assume they mean "The Warrior's Will" (or "The Warriors' Will)." Either way, I'm sure the episode will be as frustrating as this one. 2 Link to comment
Paloma July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 I was pretty much done with this show after the last few episodes, but my husband wanted to give it one more chance so we watched tonight. It was actually better than expected, though I did roll my eyes at Monty's magically restored garden. Of course, you could see Octavia going to burn it down a mile away. As Bellamy said, there is no going back for her--she no longer has any redeeming qualities after sending him, Indra, and Gaia to the fighting pit and then destroying her people's food supply in order to maintain power. 4 Link to comment
UNOSEZ July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 Figured I'd come here before watching the epi to see if they were gonna continue to destroy octavia's character so we can presumably end up with Clarke as the top dog again... Not too sure I'm interested in that TV show... 2 Link to comment
Sakura12 July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 (edited) I don't see it as ruining Octavia's character. that's the Octavia I've been watching for 5 seasons. She's a kid throwing a tantrum. Only her tantrum affects other people's lives. She's a fighter, while Clarke's a thinker. So they are all acting in character for me. They've shown Octavia to be power hungry so I knew she was going to burn down all their food to keep her power. I was yelling at them to go to plants instead of standing around. The dark year better be worth it to wait this long to reveal it. Edited July 18, 2018 by Sakura12 14 Link to comment
Guest July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 The shows flaws were strong in this one. Monty demonstrates they can grow food and don't need to go to war. Result: revolt against Octavia Octavia burns down all potential of growing food Result: follow Octavia to war. I guess it's something that a few made it clear it was a pretense to find Madi or Spacekru but still preposterous. When did they give any indication Wonkru would turn on Octavia that easily and for that reason of all reasons? The possibility of a food source and Monty's little speech was enough. Monty isn't Wonkru, so since when does anything he has to say carry weight? Where they all Skykru? And if they would turn on her then why didn't someone at least challenge her and attempt to kill her for the arson? The rations aren't going to go poof if she is killed. This is a society of our fighters. No one was enraged enough to lash out when they had been brave enough to denounce her a short time earlier? There are a couple of problems. One is that they made their story about turning Wonkru to or against war without giving much sense of factions that might exist in Wonkru beyond the main characters whose motives are messy and often nonsensical. The other is deciding to keep the Dark Year as an end of season surprise. If that is what explains why characters are acting the way they aren't makes more sense to reveal that before it becomes ingrained that he writing is just terrible. Link to comment
ottoDbusdriver July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 Agree with @ParadoxLost, this show's flaws are just getting worse -- but worst of all, it is just so boring. Don't care about Abby the junkie chronicles, or Clarke and Maddie's road trip, or Octavia's scorched earth philosophy. And what is this 50 miles/6 days rations travel shenanigans nonsense ? By the end of S2 they walked between Camp Jaha, Mt. Weather, and TonDC in a matter of hours -- and it was a heck of a lot further than 50 miles. That end scene looked like a heck of a lot like more than 800 people headed off to war -- did they pick up a lot of newbies somewhere ? 1 Link to comment
thuganomics85 July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 Wonkru is some of the most wishy-washy, pushovers on Earth, apparently. One minute, they're letting Monty of all people convince them that Octavia is a liar and are getting ready to revolt. But then all Octavia has to do is burn down the garden, and suddenly they're back to meekly following her. What is to stop them from just overthrowing her and following someone else? What a bunch of wimps! But, yeah, so Octavia basically showed herself to truly be a dictator out for herself, by finding out there was a true alternative option to war, and simply getting rid of it, so war is now the only option left. Indra pretty much had her number about it being all about her. Who knows how many will die all to prop up her ego. I would say there was no going back here, but since next week's episode is finally going to look into the "Dark Year", I suspect the show will try and use it to explain why she is the way she is. I will give her credit for calling out Bellamy's former alliance with Pike, because that will always be a major blemish on his record, but she is certainly showing that neither one of the siblings are really good at decision-making. I was pretty much rooting for Madi to knock Clarke out and flee, throughout all of their scenes. At least Clarke found her mom again... who is looking like shit. I see Henry Ian Cusick directed this one. Episode automatically is downgraded due to the absence of the Cool Group a.k.a. Raven, Murphy, Echo, and Emori. They're pretty much the only ones I like at this point. 3 Link to comment
Efzee July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 I'm impressed with Octavia's balls, walking out in front of all the warriors who were only mere minutes ago ready to dethrone her. She might need an extra pair of eyes to watch her back. I understand everyone's annoyance with the wishy-washy nature of WanKru, but what else is there to do? They don't have any resources for food (although they magically have enough for nearly 15000 meals, apparently) and we didn't even see if the bunker is still intact after the fire. Was the fire contained? Octavia did say something along the lines of stay there and die or go with her to war. The majority that's "following" her is most likely doing it simply to find Maddie and/or kill Octavia along the way and then surrendering or overtaking the valley. As for the question about 50 miles... I think it was some kind of difficult route because of the Primefaya? Although I agree that all the hiking between camps in previous seasons were almost all farther away. I suppose WanKru's weak health is a good excuse for making it seem so difficult now? Also, no horses this time around. 2 Link to comment
Lady Calypso July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 They really want me to feel for Octavia, huh? It's just so damn hard when she had a couple of options to not be a dictator and be an actual leader, and she decided to burn Monty's hard work to ashes and march to the Valley. At this point, they'd need to really fill in those gaps with plenty of empathy toward Octavia in order for me to really feel for her. I guess they kind of did with her begging Indra for another option so that her brother, Gaia, or her could all live. I mean, she really could have called it off, but she's so obsessed with being in charge that it seem unfathomable. But then everything else happened, especially the ending, and I'd be quite content with someone killing her. She can't be redeemed, at this point. She's a danger to everyone, her own people included. I see Madi/Clarke are already planting the seeds toward Madi's death. I mean, they telegraphed it pretty heavily that Madi is likely going to die soon (and I suspect they may want to rid of the Commander stuff in general). I'd say Madi has a 40% chance of making it out of this season alive. I couldn't care less about Abby overdosing, I really couldn't. I'm at that point with her where I'm ok with her being a sacrifice. 2 Link to comment

CooperTV July 18, 2018 Author Share July 18, 2018 I liked the direction in this episode. Henry Ian Cusick did a really good job. Clarke is now the second Actual Worst after Octavia. The only difference is that Octavia is just absolutely unstable and power hungry and noone pretends she's a sane, logical person we should root for. Clarke is just a selfish hypocrite. After the last episode and this episode when she was tried to overpower Madi I'm done with her. It's just sad Madi and the Commanders' stuff is placed in Clarke's narrative because I have to deal with her on my screen. The Blakes interactions were amazing, as were the Indra/Octavia interactions. 4 Link to comment

At this point, they'd need to really fill in those gaps with plenty of empathy toward Octavia in order for me to really feel for her. it's hard to imagine any scenario where empathy for Octavia is possible after she burns the plants. At this point the only real conclusion I can make is that marching on the Valley is not about taking the last habitable place on Earth. She's willing to risk the worms surviving outside a host in a wasteland. Ok maybe I would have bought that. She never saw Jeff Goldbloom's "life will find a way" speech in Jurassic Park. Maybe she can't deal with the idea of permanently living in the bunker because of under the floor trauma. Except Monty specifically said they could grow the plants in the wasteland. They don't have to live in the bunker. Frankly, she hasn't seen the Valley so she is doing this for something intangible on the word of "enemies of Wonkru". Are we supposed to believe Octavia doesn't believe she could have put down the rebellion if they decided to settle and rebuild at the bunker or some other place that isn't a six day walk followed by an immediate battle. It has to be about asserting her power at this point either as retribution against Prisonkru or stubborn defiance of Bellamy and Clarke. Or she thinks she can retain control in an environment where their enemy is defeated for reasons that no longer make sense given that hydroponics still working is enough for her to lose control. But marching in Prisonkru en masse also seems tactically idiotic. Wouldn't it work better to extend your resources and send in a covert force to stealthily kill and weaken the enemy? If it's dangerous to stay behind while that is going on,how would it be any less dangerous for hundreds of people to walk to the Valley. Kind of difficult to hide that. Now that I talked myself out of everything else, I think they will go with Octavia seeing this move as a big metaphorical pit fight and the only type she can participate in to either die for her crimes or redeem and cleanse herself of the sins she committed in the Dark Year. I don't buy it but I bet they go there. Edited July 19, 2018 by ParadoxLost Link to comment
Guest July 19, 2018 Share July 19, 2018 (edited) Another thing. i was kind of amused that now that they are away from Wonkru, the reason Clarke didn't want Madi to have memories of prior Commander's is that she has Lexa's memories of her intimacy with Clarke.

SourK July 20, 2018 Share July 20, 2018 I... literally don't remember any of the lore about this show, or how Becca getting burned at the stake affects anything. Maybe it's supposed to be foreshadowing for something? Something I probably don't want? I don't know. Otherwise, I found it interesting to hear Clarke refer to Madi as her child. Like, I guess we got that vibe already, but I read it as more of an older sister thing. And then I asked myself why I read it that way -- if it's just because Clarke is so young... I don't know. Agree that it's weird for Lexa to be in Madi's head, but I also think there are a lot of parts of that relationship that are not purely sexual. There's a way of reading this where it's less "you are becoming like my dead girlfriend" and more "you are remembering the woman who would have been part of our family if she had survived." (I still kind of wish we had gotten the Dollhouse ending where Lexa just lived in Clarke's brain forever.) On Tumblr, people have made a connection between this lily pad game that Octavia and Bellamy played as kids where the first one to touch the ground loses, and one of the scenes in episode one where Octavia is the first person to step out of the dropship onto Earth. I don't know if any of that was in the writers' heads, but it's an interesting callback, even if it's just a fan-made one. 2 Link to comment

To be fair, Clarke and Maddi have just had 6 years of peace and quiet, compared to the few months (?) of fighting, killing and negotiating Clarke experienced when the 100 came to Earth.

shireenbamfatheon July 22, 2018 Share July 22, 2018 Monty has consistently been amazing throughout the show's run. He's brave, empathetic, rational and introspective. He'll do what needs to be done, but he'll make no excuses for himself by comforting himself with mantras like "there are no good people" or "I did it for my people". I love his level of self-awareness. His and Kane's arcs are also the two that have progressed the most without falling back into the same pattern the way everyone else does. This season, Monty didn't just complain and then ultimately fell in line because he's a loyal sidekick and will do whatever others tell him to; he thought outside of the box and came up with a third viable solution to their problems, which, even though it ultimately failed, actually had him act on his own without being led by others. We saw that side to him in season two, and they finally followed through with it this season. Kane too has thought of another solution instead of letting himself get involved in the others' petty fighting. Finally some actual character progression. Henry Ian Cusick did an amazing job at directing this episode. Everyone except Marie was amazing and in terms of acting, I thought Paige knocked it out of the park. I'm actually rooting for her this season. One thing I haven't seen addressed is that Clarke's plan to reveal the info about the eye in the sky means the annihilation of Octavia's entire faction. That means that in addition to turning in Bellamy and leaving him for dead, she's also willing to have Diyoza wipe out Monty, Harper, and Indra, who are still with Octavia. Not only am I over Clarke's selfishness, I'm also sick of her constantly betraying her friends and leaving them for dead, and then resuming her relationships with them afterward like it's nothing. If they have to constantly go there with Clarke, then I want actual repercussions for her actions. I want some of the others to die as a result of her plans or for them to ostracize her because the number of times she's abandoned them is close to reaching double digits. I can't remember the last time I saw a show that was so careless with how it wrote its interpersonal relationships. 3 Link to comment

God, I hate stupid, wasteful people. Love Bellamy and Indra (and Monty and Kane — interesting he directed, good job!) I'm glad the show jumped ahead five years, because the actors probably weren't teenagers at the start anyway, and now they look their ages, more or less. Clark should have torched the worms, not just tossed them out. You never know if they have mutated into a bigger threat... I like the serial killer weirdo, Vinson (?). He's entertaining, and also useful... Edited August 1, 2018 by Andromeda 2 Link to comment

Where do they get all that leather anyways? Where are the cows? Who's slaughtering them and tanning the hides? Why would you bother making outfits like that anyway? Such a time suck and waste! It bugs! Well what Im wondering is how the heck Abby even got addicted? I mean any medications that were in the bunker, even if they were still sealed up would have gone bad decades ago. I mean, weren't they up in space for 100 years? So drugs in the bunker would be 100 years old. Even if hydrocodone can last 40 years, that is 60 years out of date. EVEN if prisonkru brought drugs with them, THOSE drugs would also be 100 years old. 2 Link to comment
