It's not the show's fault you live in a lovely country where someone's sexuality still somehow is a topic of controversy

Criticising this show for not doing enough for LGBTQ+ representation seems a bit unfair. Now the first homosexual character died (who was just a guest character to begin with), after the show has already killed many many straight lead and main characters. The only happy couples in season 3 so far are homosexual couples, same for the sex scenes. I think the only straight couple so far is Octavia and Lincoln, and they are not really happy right now. I am sure you will find many shows on TV that are worse in terms of lgbtq+ representation and where complaints would be justified. And in the end, let's not forget, TV shows are primarily meant to entertain and not make us better people or whatever.

Boris Galerkin posted:I see Pike portrayed as an out of touch leader who seriously believes that grounders are a problem and is trying to protect his people within the rules that he's known his entire life: the exodus charter, where punishment by death was a necessity to have enough food/oxygen for everyone else. I don't think he's been ever shown as a power hungry tyrant or corrupt or anything, he's just enforcing the rules. The execution scene even went out of the way to have him say that even though he can't free the grounder prisoners (because they are prisoners of war, and they are currently at war) he'd take care of them until a later time when the war is over and they can be handed off or whatever. Wait, I thought the exodus charter specifically only applied to living on the ground after their return, and was different from the laws they applied up in their space stations.

It's funny how the distance to that island shrank from a half-a-season long quest through all kinds of poo poo to a half a day ride.
