You're not wrong, but I think it's a really common thing where the first eps of a season can seem slow because they have to build momentum and move the pieces around the board a bit for everything to start really kicking off. Season 2 had this issue, and I can name a whole ton of other shows that do this too.

Bellamy's name sadly just doesn't fit with anyone, so I only ship Bellamy/Friendzone, or Bellendzone for short.

Last time we saw Clarke she had just committed genocide, it's not surprising these first couple episodes moved relatively slow. Im sure by the end of the season she'll be snapping baby necks or eating her mother alive or something

Rewatching the first season and right from the beginning every time they mention Finn and his spacewalk he has this distant glance which tells you he didn't do it, and Raven even drops hints from her appearance onwards. Thought that was nice.

Where Clarke has the guy under the water and doesn't finish the job was the only part that didn't work for me. If they didn't want him dead, they could have written something more believable. It's tough to buy that Clarke of all people would hesitate to kill some rando would-be kidnapper.

Despite her killcount, most of Clarke's kills have been swift and easy. Now, she's apparently been taking down panthers with just a knife, so she's obviously got that hands-on experiance now, but "a feel for when you've drowned someone" isn't really something we should really expect Clarke to have at this point. I mean, now she probably does. I doubt she ever makes that mistake again.

It was a nice subversion, fiction has pretty much conditioned people into thinking that people are dead the second they stop struggling.

Ya, but there is no practical reason to stop choking them when they stop moving unless you suddenly felt bad about killing someone or didn't understand how hard it often is to kill someone. Clarke has been demonstrated many times to have neither of these issues. I'm totally fine with the writers having Prince Aragorn get the upper hand on her, but they way they did it seemed cheap because that's the trick that would have worked on her mom or someone else who has never killed anyone up close and personal.

I'm kind of with you, as soon as she started drowning him I thought, "Oh I hope he doesn't pull a fake-out drown and Clarke gets got that way..." Welp, sure enough, it happened. It's just a very minour pet peeve.

I don't think its about her not finishing the job. It felt to me like she thought she had killed him because she couldn't see anymore bubble. Guy was smart enough to stop struggling and hold his breath. Kudo's for him.

It's just a very minour pet peeve. Its literally the first time I see this trick pulled on TV. All of us have, at one point, seen someone getting drowned and told ourselves he should just fake death. But they never do. I for one, am glad they used this trick.

Yeah I definitely got the impression that she thought he was dead, but that does raise the question of how it fooled her after she pulled the same trick 10 seconds earlier

Monicro posted:Yeah I definitely got the impression that she thought he was dead, but that does raise the question of how it fooled her after she pulled the same trick 10 seconds earlier It's because she still thinks she's a badass who knows what's up. Clarke is awesome, don't get me wrong, but she kind of lucked into her success. Clarke is intelligent, strong willed, strongly principled, and a natural leader. But she's up against people who have most of those traits, and had to fight tooth and nail to get where they are. Clarke was one of the smartest people on the drop-ship and had familial connections to the ark government. Clarke is just starting her transformation. She's embraced her brutality, in hunting not just animals, but other predators. She's embraced changes in her sexuality and possibly her sexual dominance. And she's ready to embrace herself as the hardened killer, but she's not even close to the hardest or the most experienced killer around. Clarke's ferocity might give her and edge with Indra, with Kendra, with Lexa, and with her mother, but it doesn't make her better at politics than Lexa or Abby, or better at fighting than Indra or Roan.

 S3 E3 Ye Who Enter HereClarke struggles with a decision; Bellamy finds that something is not what it seems; Murphy plans to betray his former chancellor. Pretty vague. And I'd say the last bit already happened?
