That was a pretty solid episode and shows that Kane really does believe what he's selling. And now Bellamy is conflicted as hell and hopefully he pulls his head on straight by the end of the season.

AMC plans to runt he main show for a minimum of 10 seasons. Fear will probably be on the air just as long and they have a third spin off in the works as well.

It's never going to end.

We kinda passed the peak of the zombie craze already though. Like yeah TWD is popular but outside of AMC there's like 2-3 other zombie shows, tops. Like imagine Law & Order but if there were only like two other cop shows outside of the Law & Order universe.

Every season of TWD seems to set a ratings record so I'd say the craze is still in full effect. This poo poo over Lexa? It's nothing. Imagine what's going to happen when Darryl dies.

A while back I asked why there was no outrage when Arrow killed off Sarah Lance in season 3. Well tonight I was told that since she banged Oliver her lesbianism "didn't count." But not she's alive again and 100% lesbian so she totally counts again.

Bellamy is conflicted. He wanted to be the leader but when it became clear that he wasn't the man for the job he moved aside and followed Clarke. Then the adults made it down, they went to war with Mount Weather and Clarke abandoned him. Kane wasn't the man he remembered from the Ark so he fell in behind the person who reminded him of Ark life and who seemed to want to do what was best for the Arkers.

I like the "Two Lesbians Enter, One Lesbian Leaves" but it's been made very clear that Clarke doesn't count as a lesbian because she's just part time. Which, okay, yes, I understand the difference between a bisexual woman and a lesbian woman but on the other hand she's had more sex with girls than boys on the show, and I am not actually starting the conversation again what am I doing someone please stop me help help So what about that crazy Jaha, huh?

Well I can't speak for the rest of the thread but when people post on these forums without a care for proper punctuation or sentence structure it makes it incredibly hard to take anything they say seriously. If you want us to be sympathetic to the things that this show is doing that upset you, try structuring your posts a little better. This isn't Tumblr.

You're wrong about her having valid things to add to the discussion, just like you're wrong to dismiss her for such a stupid reason. Language changes all the time. People two hundred years ago could say the same thing about the way we write today.
Stop being a grammar nazi.

When exactly did we decide that periods are no long needed? I was unaware that language had made that change this week.

It's not an unreasonable request that everyone be held to the same standard, hell it used to be a rule here.

My only real disagreement with Lincoln's death was the excessive detail they showed it in. It's not that I'm morally opposed to that sort of thing, it's just that it seemed weird and jarring and largely unnecessary. It was powerful enough when we saw it from a distance, the same way Octavia did. The close-ups and the poorly-rendered gore spilling out of his head just distracted and detracted from the emotional impact of the scene, rather than adding to it. Sometimes less is more, you know?

I would put money on it being Rothenberg's final "gently caress you" to the actor.

My point is, if you're going to dismiss her, do it because she believes that Twitter is a great platform to express her opinions about anything. Or because she thinks that lgbt characters in a post apocalyptic show should have mysterious plot armor. Her opinions are lovely enough as it is without having to pick on lacks of period at the end of a sentence.

Despite having bad opinions she has added quite a bit to the discussion and I have actually learned things from her posts that I was unaware of.

One obvious difference between ALIE 1.0 and ALIE 2.0 is that the former's chip can be ingested, whereas the latter's chip has to "choose" the host.

I wonder if this is because there's only one 2.0 chip, and it wants to make sure it doesn't settle down inside a loser, or if there's another reason they haven't touched on yet.

And yet somehow the "key" chips they ingest still end up at the back of the neck.

It looks like they dissolve into the bloodstream and then excrete themselves out as circuitry. The Commander chip had those tentacle things instead.

Still, you ingest it and it ends up at the back of your neck, the same place the C Chip was.
