02:42 : An 8 hour walk, in 6 hours. It seems to me that an actively in-shape military guy should probalby be able to do that. It's fine that he didn't, I just wonder how big that difference is. 04:05 : I know it's supposed to upset me. I just want you to know that it's working! 05:22 : I say again : biiiiiiiitch, let's see you make one. 08:01 : The Command and the leaders of all 12 clans are gonna show up. You, as an unproven newcomer, can't be bothered to send your actual leader? This is poor strategy. Nothing Clarke is going to do is going to be more important than maintaining the truce. 08:54 : Before we take one more step into this desert : Everyone chose to be here. I don't wanna hear any complaints. 10:04 : Peak Grounder girl. This style of headscarf is my favorite and I wish I saw it more in movies and in life. 12:22 : Just horrific soundplay. 13:57 : This is the danger of any gathering of leaders. Every year, I am baffled that nothing happens at the World Economic Forum. 14:50 : This comes up with high pressure jobs, like surgeons. Do you tell a surgeon, mid-surgery, that his wife was in a car accident? He's presumably the only surgeon that can finish that surgery. She's still gonna be wrecked, after the surgery. There's nothing he can actually do to help, right that second. So do you relay the message? I think the optimal solution is agreeing on a process before-hand and then following it. I don't think it's helpful for Bellamy to know. I think he asked the question because he wanted to know. Clarke has no right. Raven is complicit. 15:53 : "... and a warrior does not mourne those she's lost, until after the battle is won." is good advice, I think. Maybe Clarke should have said something more like that. 17:32 : For those who have read the pages of the unpublished novel, THIS is "the mark of the Treskalon". Janos has a hand just like this. 22:45 : I think Lexa is probably correct, tactically. I don't know that there is a better answer. Everyone here is military. This is what they signed up for. 24:34 : Honestly, it's a solid con. Respect. (I love thief characters~) 28:34 : Appropriate response. The response I hope ladycrab has, if I ever falter. "Ge smak daun, gyon op nodataim" lives in my soul. 29:52 : This is one of the only shows that has a challenge of the blind faith. They take the time to ask whether they should double down. I love it. 31:20 : It's a cool camera shot. 34:19 : With all the aftermath we're about to see, I have to keep reminding myself that this is one fantasy missile. It's confined to the sets they built. In real life, we do many larger missiles and the populations have far more problems. 38:40 : Turnabout is fair play. I'm glad he brought it back. 40:30 : Again, can't stress enough, this guy bleeds folks. Literal vampire. 41:22 : 'eyy, Lincoln stood back up. Good for them. 42:00 : This is actually the first outfit that I think makes Clarke look cool.

The missile really does change the tone of the entire war. There's this weird split between the two sides of the show. It's like Mount Weather (Jasper and friends) wants to be this moral consideration but they ony present obvious and absolute evils. Meanwhile, the Ton D.C. side wants to explore Grounder culture but only presents Lex and Clarke pulling rank on everyone. I just can't help but feel like the world would be better without Clarke.
