There's just not enough love for Pike in this thread. Pike is gonna kill so many grounders. Pike for Chancellor! Clarke was just a pretender to the skull throne.

Finally, a Chancellor with good ideas and the courage to see them through. The man the Arkers needed and the one they deserve. Pike does nothing wrong.

Pike has the right of it. Kill three hundred with ten, then gently caress up the next army as well with thousands of bullets. Then a truce, maybe. Without fear there is no respect on this new Earth.

Boogaleeboo posted:A reminder that Mt Weather used missile strikes, death fog, drug crazed cannibals, and random mass kidnappings [That when uncovered turned out to be because they were literally blood sucking vampires living in a loving crypt]. Pike is wildly mistaken if he thinks the Grounders are going to be afraid of guns. They had less guns and people than Arkadia. The grounder counter was a 'shield wall' that got lit the gently caress up and collapsed after maybe ten feet. Pike is right, you send two messages. One, that you're not to be hosed with. Two, questioning lesson one is loving stupid. Then you talk, on your terms. Indra and Lexa talk quite openly how they're terrified of guns and don't have a counter. quote:Great idea, until you realize that bullets are not a renewable resource. They kinda are.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:They would definitely lose if it came to it. Arkadian Grunt: "Reich Chancellor Pike, the enemy are at our thirty foot high gates and they have brought sticks! STICKS!!' Pike: "How could I have been so wrong... lay down your guns and drop all that homemade napalm into the pit toilet, we are done for!" The last time the grounders sent an army at the Arkadians they got massacred by children, dude. Pike has this on lockdown.

It's a fortified position at the top of a hill with no cover leading up to it. The 'enemy', and I use that term loosely as they're more or less target practice, think attaching a stabby bit to the end of your stick is the height of technology. Rorke's Drift 2150, but with automatic weapons this time. Those fifteen square kilometers of land are gonna be well fertilized after the battle. I think it'd be fitting if Pike stepped down afterwards, in Cincinnatus style, knowing the work he had to accomplish was now done.

It's also pretty obvious that the current grounder leadership is on borrowed time. There's not much point to being Lexa's 13th Concubine de Hemoglobine when there's a new 'Nightblood' in the Ice Nation just itching slit Roan throat in his sleep and take over. The other tribes didn't even hesitate when genociding Arkadia was put to a vote.

Pike fought a guerilla campaign for a year against the Ice Nation, that tribe all the other grounders fear. He lost some women and kids. We'll be back to that patented Pike grounder-killing perfection right after he puts a bullet in Kane's head. Blood may not demand blood anymore, but treason does.

Lexa's death opens up potential for conflict, both at the Polis court and with Arkadia. Conflict is interesting. May a billion pretend lesbians be sacrificed on that altar.

Aphrodite posted:The Commander had to die for the season arc, obviously. I can just imagine two show runner executive types sitting around thinking about how they can up the ratings. If I had a cold, cynical heart I'd totally make sure a few characters were gay just so I on-screen kill them during sweeps week. Controversy sells, the ratings go up and the fallout is a couple of tumblr shut-ins stammering their complaints into a mic at some bullshit convention where people are dressed as anime characters.

The Pike stuff owns, the Lexa stuff was as boring as her acting was terrible. Crazy man Jaha remains great and his ghost in the machine buddy only makes it better. Wanna see him and Titus thrown down in a zealotry duel.

Pike was wrong once, he failed to have Kane killed at the first hint of sedition. I get his need to act and be seen acting in a lawful manner, but seriously, he should have put a bullet in that treasonous gently caress four episodes ago.

Pike continues to own, one of the best additions to the cast this season. Grounders continue to remain dumb scrub-tier dipshits, personified by Indra who failed at the one thing they're are supposed to be good at, stabbing people. Murphy is clutch, as always.

Robutt posted:Though now that I think about it, that is more appropriate to the situation. Spartacus was crucified upside down, or so they say, so it really isn't appropriate either. I think you were right when you said 'neither', as far as I can tell. I also get why it's the easy answer for people, but the writing has a real strength for subversion and I don't think there's been a point where the easy answer has ever been the correct one. I think those scenes in Polis as a whole were simply meant to convey that the symbiosis of Jahmbaliea has given up any pretext of humanity, in their attempt to make 'humanity better'. They're just so fargone in their beliefs that they fully degrade the thing they are trying to save. Here I am, talking about the use of crucifixion imagery in a tv show made for teenage girls, I may be the worst goon ever.

Jaha is a loving national treasure. His ark... heh... from space despot to brave new world Pol Pot has been magical. Between the Jahate and everyone making GBS threads on Pike, I'm beginning to think goons have an issue with black men in a position of authority.

They had batteries of escape pods just waiting to take people to the surface. All they had to do was remove the nuclear warhead and they had themselves some sweet little lifeboats. Or just take all the warheads to Earth, what could possibly go wrong?

enraged_camel posted:Uh, dude, it's not like "let's ride our nuclear missiles as shuttles" can ever come across as non-insane. Jaha did it because he was going insane. Excuse me? No seriously, loving excuse me? I think history has proven the good chancellor correct, humanity is doomed and life in the magic computer kingdom was the only option. Jaha, like Pike and Clarke before him, did nothing wrong. Was Jaha insane, or is this just another good ol'fashioned tviv hating on strong black men... Yea, I think we know the answer.

Clarke needs Murphy. One day she's gonna need to hang up her genocidal hat and Murphy's about the only one fit to carry that torch. Maybe not carry... more like drop in a hut full of sleeping grounder children, but you get the point.
