For the OP: A nice gif of Jasper loving murdering some dude in cold blood. Couldn't find a larger one but I feel it gets the point across. :black101:

Reminder that this scene was hard-loving-core:

Most shows that have two pretty ladies fight, it might be kinda sexual, their clothes would get strategically ripped, their makeup would stay perfect, etc. But The 100? No. They are CAKED in mud and dirt, blood running down ears and into their hair, into their TEETH as they brain each other with rocks, stab at each other and headbutt and just...drat. Even when Clarke gets the advantage and just rains punches down on the side of her head and they both just look super hosed up. It's properly brutal.

Just as a reminder: they're fighting in a mass grounder graveyard here. A graveyard that Clarke made. She beats Anya by basically rubbing her face in the ashes and bones of her dead warriors. :black101:

Jasper's not Murphy. Murphy wants to stay alive. Jasper, uhhh, well...

Jasper thinks the prospect of being murdered in front of his former friends is hilarious.

Murphy doesn't have any friends. :smith:

I'd say Clarke takes the prize for Worst Handling of Trauma at the moment. I mean, getting drunk every night? Doing stupid poo poo that might get you killed? Tackling Canadian Pop Stars? Those are all things that even normal people do. Dying your hair red and going off to kill panthers in the wilderness? That's pretty much exclusively done by crazies.

Jasper and Monty are my favorite characters, and I've gotta say I'm pretty thrilled with the directions they're going in. Monty wearing body armor and carrying a gun and being Bellamy's backup? gently caress yes. And from the previews, I'm pretty sure he's going to be forced to shoot someone pretty soon! Someone he apparently doesn't want to shoot! Reluctant Murderer Monty is my favorite Monty. :allears:

And Jasper... well, Jasper as a drunken death-seeking laughing lunatic rear end in a top hat is surprisingly entertaining. I was worried there would be no texture to his angst, but he still has his moments, like that little singalong. And even his dickery seems weirdly funny and appropriate for his character. It helps that even while he's being a dick, he's not actually rebelling against the sky people or anything. He's still basically on their side, he's just kind of cheezed about it. Which is understandable. I mean, he did just witness his best friends murder his girlfriend and her entire civilization, and then he got to spend three months watching the rest of his people thoughtlessly gorging themselves on that civilization's corpse.

People have started drinking for less.

.Also feel like you guys need to remember that Jasper is a teenager, Maya was almost certainly his first love and that she was loving adorable and super nice and you all are terrible people for not being sadder when she died. Especially when she died (arguably unnecessarily) at the hands of someone Jasper was spent the entirety of last season counting on, as a friend. :smith:

She died in a pretty awful way, too. I mean, there's no good death, but some are definitely less bad than others, and melting has to rank pretty highly on the bad list. In his arms, too. I'm surprised he didn't have to change shirts before he left Mount Weather, because "uhh, dude, you've got some... you've got a little... uhhh, Maya, on you." :stare:

Haha, funny you guys should mention retreating to the City of Light, because (:siren:finale spoilers ahead!:siren:) based on leaked photos from the finale, Clarke is headed there. You Are Not Safe. She's going to invade future heaven and kill everyone, including the dead people (again!), and then probably destroy the afterlife and kill God (or ALIE, same diff). The people of the world shall worship only Wanheda! What's a Commander to a Death Goddess!?

gently caress off. Jasper isn't actually doing anything. The only reason he is even an issue is because Monty keeps following him around and making him do poo poo. If it were up to Jasper, I'm pretty sure he'd be content to quietly drink himself to death.


If we could've had weiners on the CW, we would've had them by now.

Bellamy wasn't around for the grounder lovefest in Season 2. He was with the Skaikru-Grounder Coalition for like one day before Clarke sent him off on his spy mission (where he was subsequently betrayed by his Grounder Bro, though Lincoln had more reason than most). The next he heard of the Great Grounder Alliance, they hosed off and left them to die, and a genocide happened. Not saying he's particularly justified in his current course of action, just pointing out that literally every single time Bellamy Blake has trusted a Grounder, it has ended badly for him. And basically everyone else.

No need to trade Pike for Jaha. I'm pretty sure we're going to get more of both than we could have ever wanted.

Fair point, but still doesn't work out in light of his decision to completely and unequivocally trust a random grounder girl he knew for all of a day (and who hosed off and left him to die at Mount Weather right alongside Lexa)

The gist of that post was that Echo was probably the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of Bellamy trusting Grounders on basically anything.

They still could've done it better though. I mean, come on. Why invent a character to be his girlfriend just to kill her off? They could've used someone we already knew. Hell, it didn't even have to be his girlfriend. We all know Bellamy's got a huge big brother complex: just show him being a good big brother figure to Harper or Monroe, have them be his little protege now that Octavia spends most of her time being a warrior princess. Put them in the mountain and have THEM be the ones who die a semi-badass death bleeding out and still trying to save everyone. It would mean so much more, and it would make so much more sense for both the audience and Bellamy to be really torn up about it. We don't know Harper or Monroe that well, but at least we loving know them.

I've forgiven worse gently caress-ups on worse shows, but I hope this doesn't become a trend. The 100 is great with redemption arcs, so it's kind of baffling why it sucks so much at going the other way.

"Time to get back to work, Raven." :getin:

Clarke is totally pussy-whipping Lexa to save her people. I approve. Though this is probably not going to end well for Lexa. Like there is absolutely no way. I can totally see why Lexa would think it's a good idea (because Clarke is dangling the unspoken promise of cooch above her head) but absolutely no other grounder is going to go for this. Lexa's gonna die or get deposed for sure now.

Next week, everyone's favorite drug dealer Jaha spreads his combination super-opiate/alternate reality game to the good bad people of Arkadia!

At least they committed to Bellamy being a giant jerk. Honestly, I would've been more annoyed if they'd immediately walked him back.

Spergatory

Somebody brought up something I hadn't thought of before, which is that potential mass casualties might be factoring into Lexa's decision not to pursue all out war. She and Indra were having a conversation about possibly not being able to overcome the Sky People's guns just before Clarke came back. Hopefully they'll make that more explicit next episode.

EDIT: Also, as a side note, what's with all the shirtless Murphy all of a sudden? I mean, I get that it's a CW show and Boys Will Be Naked, but this isn't like a Bellamy or Lincoln situation where there is a precedent for stripping. Murphy didn't take his clothes off once in the first two seasons and now he's getting naked in like every episode. He's not even that jacked. :colbert: I mean, he's not bad, but when you're on a show with loving Ricky Whittle and his ridiculous eight-pack abs and biceps the size of a child's entire head, it's hard to compete.
