There were a lot of POV shots this episode, and a couple other non-traditional camera angles as well. I thought that was a fun way to mix things up.

Have we finally entered the stage of the show where the thread is about how everyone else would handle this post apocalyptic hell scape so much smarter than everyone on the show?Rocksicles posted:I find it hilarious that after all these scores of people she'd murked or killed by force of will, she can't loving fight. Like at all. Well, she's pretty much mastered the art of killing hundreds with the push of the button. She's all about maximum death for minimal effort. When Octavia was off getting training Clarke was just committing another war crime.

Clarke has at least mastered the "play dead, then attack" maneuver. Used it against Roan, and in the initial fight with Emerson.

Clarke is no brute, she's not going to get into some dumb fistfight. Instead she'll thake her time to come up with the way to use her resources to kill as many people as painfully as possible without actually laying a finger on them.

STAC Goat posted:Have we finally entered the stage of the show where the thread is about how everyone else would handle this post apocalyptic hell scape so much smarter than everyone on the show? No, I'm just saying she's a loving idiot, because she's got this dumbass martyr complex and seemed to genuinely believe that Emerson, the guy who blew up like 50 people in Mount Weather, was going to spare everyone if she gave up her life in return. Though I'm not sure what the logic was behind killing Sinclair specifically and sparing the rest so Clarke could watch them die, when he made the effort of carrying three of them (presumably by foot because we never see a vehicle) for several miles. raditts fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Apr 22, 2016 |

I stopped paying attention midway through and thought for a moment that the body Octavia was crying over was Bellamy's - that he'd somehow died before anyone else in the airlock - and then I was super disappointed when the camera cut to his stupid gormless face.VagueRant posted:And now that he's actually back to doing things, Jasper's been basically one of the best characters.

So there was a way bigger dip after episode 3? I think the lesson here is less about pissing off social-media-website-of-choice and more that ratings usually degrade over a season, moreso when the show has been outright dull and the scheduling has been erratic. Reckon you'd see a similar dip for The Flash this season, though much higher on the scale.

The numbers are meaningless without comparison to how other shows do in the ratings throughout seasons, and how other shows have done in the same season.

I don't thik many shows lose like 40% of their audience between episode one and half-season. Successful seasons actually gain viewers season-on-season, and retain them more or less throughout their run.

that one guy posted:I too have lots of thoughts on what probably happens, but I also temper them by realizing I don't actually know what's normal for ratings ups and downs. Perhaps you know more than I do, which is entirely possible. But for me, these numbers are meaningless without greater context. I could use them to support a narrative I already have in my head but I don't know if I'd be right in doing so or not. What? It's not hard to track TV trends. In fact it's kinda hard to be ignorant of how shows change their audiences thorughout seasons, in my experience, since the WIki page of any give show will contain a detailed break down of it entire run's performance and an analysis of how it compares to the norm.

Sober posted:You probably haven't been watching the ratings for network shows in the past couple of years. This is the trend, not an anomaly. You want an anomaly, try something like Empire instead. Maybe maybe occasionally The Flash in really short per-week-bursts. As in when cross-over events happen, probably only then. Yes, they premiere high and lose viewers. They do not lose 20% week on week, not even early in a season. at least when it comes to genre fiction, non+superhero shows aimed at younf audiences.

raditts posted:Where were they keeping Lincoln's body all that time anyway? Did they just leave him baking in the sun somewhere for several days? I assume Pike buried him and Bellamy dug him up. In the previous episode Octavia was insisting on going back to burn Lincoln's body as his traditions demanded. So Bellamy took it on himself to excavate Lincoln so Octavia could have some closure. VagueRant posted:Eh, she knocked Anya out with a rock to the temple and she put up a good fight against Roan. But I think it totally makes sense that even though she's got sick-rear end survival instincts and probably knows her way around a blade, that she'd be overpowered by a huge dude with actual training. Show would be a lot less interesting if she was an all around badass Mary Sue type. Yeah, its a weird think to criticize Clarke's lack of fighting skills. It would be completely weird and undeserved if she was a skilled fighter. Octavia's had some training from the Grounders. Bellamy, Harper, and Miller have had some training as guardsmen. But Clarke's received absolutely zero training so if she was able to take Roan or Emerson - trained fighter/soldiers twice her size - it would be really pretty stupid. Like, its already kind of a stretch for Octavia to be kind of a bad rear end because of a few weeks of training, but I think they tend to temper that. That gif posted is more of a surprise attack than some legit hand-to-hand combat situation.

Oh, I'm well aware. But trouble can take forms other than cancellations. Hirings, firings, reduced budget and episode counts, etc. Apparently most of the cast will be renegotiating their contracts this year, too, so who knows what might happen in the coming months.

I'm no expert on TV ratings or anything, but when the TV world is buzzing for weeks about how people are Pissed about a thing happening and you see a literal graph displaying that indeed lots of people stopped watching immediately after it, and you're still cracking jokes about how the thing didnt matter and the people who cared are a microscopic minority on the internet, maybe take a step or two back

A shows ratings always fall off after the first couple episodes of a season. New viewers don't know what's going on an ditch and others just stop caring. Then the ratings stabilize. Which this did for 4 weeks. Until Lexa died and its been in a free fall ever since. It trys to recover a tiny bit but then whoops, Lincoln dies and the ratings plummet further. Turns out killing off two of your most popular characters in retarded rear end ways is a bad idea. FFS this isn't some CBS juggernaut, these CW shows live and die by a small devoted fan base. And if you lose them you're screwed. Shimrra Jamaane fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Apr 24, 2016 |

Honestly, the season has suffered from rushed storylines (Pike, Farm Station, Bellamy's heel turn, the Massacre of the Trikru army all squished into like two episodes), and awkwardly plotted/executed deaths (Lexa), and only now seems to be finding a good pace. Unfortunately, it may be too late to bring back the people who have been chased off by the earlier mistakes. While I don't agree that Lexa's death was reason to quit the show, I respect the right of other people to think that. And then following that up with a chaser of executing Lincoln was not great. And then Sinclair.

In fact, there is no way to tell if Lexa's death even had even a measurable impact on ratings. Just because a bunch of LGBT folks and SJWs got annoyed doesn't mean much. For all we know, the ratings may have dropped because a cow in Ohio farted.
