02:58 : I think this scene is meant to demonstrate that Bellamy is still just a child and Kane 'n' Co. are comptent adults. However, Kane didn't nead to win favor or convince anyone to follow him. He's backed up by professionals in all fields. Bellamy did a lot, in a very different circumstance. 04:30 : Seems fine to limit gun use. I do wonder what crime levels are like, though. What does a felony even mean? What does the Exodus Charter outline? Maybe I should have read the book. 06:27 : I guess this is a different door but clearly somebody is leaving this mountain somehow, without the entire population ghosting. 06:47 : I'm not a doctor. I don't know the visual difference between a TV show bullet hole and a TV show arrow wound. My expectation would be that the exit wound of a bullet hole is bananas and the entry wound of an arrow is slicey. 07:49 : There's a trope in TV shows. At some point, they add a baby and the show immediately falls off a cliff. Charmed, Angel, all the greats. There is virtually no scene that has ever been enhanced by having a baby cry. It completely disrupts the rest of the audio and emotion building. It's just annoying af. The /moment/ I see a baby in a show, all those ruined favorites come rushing back and I worry that this is the end. Fortunately, none of that is the case here. However, that's where my mind was throughout this entire episode. 08:42 : The only thing that could possibly motivate the leftbehind to die, death-wishing Jaha to get off his ass. It was necessary. Em gonplei nou ste odon. 09:40 : I try to remind myself that pain or fear alone are not reasons to not do something. The prospect of "feeling everything" is awful but it's not a reason to back down. The risk of death is worth considering against the guarantee of paralysis. I think Raven is right. She does need her legs, down here. (She probably also did need them in Zero-G) 11:23 : Gaslightingassmotherfucker 13:33 : My wife really struggles to watch any show with any kind of gore. This show does such a good job of building up tension into these little moments of simple cuts, she has to cover her eyes and still freaks out. 14:34 : A lot of people think they could withstand torture. A lot of those same people think they could box a gorilla. I think a lot of stupid, grandoise things but even I'm not gonna pretend like there's no point at which I'd be willing to tell the enemy useless information. Grounders already knew where they were. They came down in a giant ball of fire. Lincoln had been scouting them, since Day 1, and was in contact enough to know when and how the attack would come. Bellamy is being totally unreasonable here. Also, Murphy is a scared kid, not some highly trained Navy Seal. 15:09 : I like when an enemy brings a tactic back. It gives them a sense of identity. 17:37 : I really don't mind who is having it, but I'm always in for an unhinged plan. 19:05 : The governmental deception seems to have made the leap from the Ark to the Earth. Was Kane driving it all along? 20:30 : This is the thing that I like about Grounder culture. They don't do either or. They're both helping Lincoln and holding him accountable. That duality is something I've personally struggled to communicate to others. I consider it like etiquette of being an adult. 21:31 : Yasssss! We are in it now. Octavia kom Skaikru has risen. 21:41 : No spoilers, but Indra kom Trigeda is one of my favorite characters of alltime. I was really really impressed by this actress. 21:59 : This is what, "'No.' is a complete sentance.", means. If I was a young girl, Indra would be everything I want to be. 22:34 : This is Octavia starting to try to live the Grounder culture. She's not doing anything crazy here. This is just how these people operate.Fierce, strong, and direct. 23:12 : If a loved one is going through a tough time and you cannot hold it together, take your little bitch-baby self out of the room. Nothing is more annoying than having to be strong for the people you had hoped would be strong for you. 25:13 : LMAO, my wife, anytime the government speaks. 25:38 : I don't think Jasper is being unreasonable at all. There really is no /reason/ to think anyone is left alive. These people have been nice to him. There's plenty of food. Zero Grounders have tried to spear him, since he got here. 26:50 : Hideo Kojima famously stole his main character (Snake in Metal Gear Solid) from the movie Escape From New York (great movie, deffo watch it). Based on his more recent projects, you will not convince me that he did not watch this show. 27:30 : This is another situation, where I really wish I understood the real world science of it all. Could a baby survive in a suit? Is the pressure more important than the oxygen? Is a minor crack in the visor catastrophic? 28:34 : Alright, so, scientifically, that's gotta be gg, right? 31:40 : Jaha, the man who couldn't die - even if he wanted to. It's a special kind of tragedy, to have to keep on after you're done. 34:21 : It's possible that I just haven't seen that many CW shows, but a lot of the content of the 100 seems super intense. 35:15 : I do like that Niko is joking with her, here. It shows that he also wants good things for Lincoln. There's no doubt this absolute unit of a Grounder could take her in a fight. 35:24 : I want to pause and guess whether Indra brought backup. I think she probably did. Grounders seem to do that routinely but also you'd just be a dumbadillo not to. 36:11 : Aight, Reapers was unexpected! 36:34 : So, they only took the men? I would have expected them to take everyone but Lincoln. Super interesting that they left Indra behind. Also, I was 100% wrong about Indra bringing backup. It's fun to assert things and see how they play out. 38:00 : I have no idea why a missile has a parachute. I'm assuming that, even with a parachute, there's no way to survive this. Still, Jaha is on the ground. He's a few days removed from the kids' location but he's back in the game. Survivor. 38:55 : It's a big risk these two are taking. Kane's authority is fracturing and he needs an example. I get it, though. This close to the kids, you'd probably do the same thing. Ya know, unless you happen to both be reading this and work at Uvalde PD.
Well, that's a dramatic conclusion! So, it seems that we're capturing and harvesting Grounders for their blood. It is unclear how aware the security guys are of it? Part of me wants to say, "Obvs, somebody has to be gathering them", but the other part of me knows that Dante gaslights folks. Octavia is finally coming into her own. Her body is weak but she finally unchained her spirit. Jaha is a madman and I love it. Kane needs to have some more revelations soon or he's gonna end up in the loser box, with Bellamy. I know Monroe will never get her own episode but I sure would love to see it.
