Snak posted:I'm reasonably confident that we will see a huge spike in Octavia's kill-count this season. Like I said, bring on the Badass Warrior Princess Olivia action  I really think she's going to end up leading the Grounders somehow. She's basically cut ties with the Arkers, and going solo doesn't seem like a direction for her arc to go in. Either she ends up replacing Lexa somehow and then has to face off against Clarke, or maybe her replacing Lexa will open up the way for an actual Grounder/Arker alliance.

Okay, maybe 'cut all ties' was a little strong. But she's more Grounder than Arker at this point. Hell, she was two steps removed from being the Commander at one point (being the Second of Lexa's Second, right?)

Like they were literally a crop for Mt. Weather, that's how much all their warrior bullshit matters. They are walking potatoes.

In that whole ridiculous episode the thing that made me stop and say 'what' was the fact that Grounder Captain Vane hung around outside the trading post for hours, probably listening to Clarke getting her groove on, just waiting for her to leave so he could capture her (instead of going in and getting her). So good to have this show back. I wonder if Jaha is just being Jaha or if the pills he gave Murphy (and presumably took himself) are some kind of nanotech that let the AI gently caress with his mind directly.

I feel like if you are about to hold an election in which a grounder-hater might win, you might take the precaution of sending a runner out to the grounder army outside and say "Yeah, look, we've got some internal leadership poo poo going down, you guys might want to clear out to stay clear of it" especially if the guy who might become chancellor was just caught trying to sneak out and murder them. But who am I kidding, the next episode is going to open with all those grounders dead because DRAMA

Snak posted:There'e no way they're going to let Pike live. Finn was barely enough when he killed 13? people and the Coalition army was going to wipe out Skaikru. Now they've killed 300. The only way out of this is for Skaikru to frame Pike as a traitor have him punished under grounder law. Bellamy might make it out of this alive if someone can win off Indra to pardon him for some political reason, but really I hope that Octavia has to kill him in battle. Bellamy is getting under my skin with his little bitch act. I'm kind of hoping that Pike gets outright merked by Clarke and then Bellamy gets Finn'd Also I was smirking a little at the posts yesterday saying that Clarke had Lexa pussywhipped, but after watching that episode god drat is it hilariously obvious.

jfood posted: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. This has never been true. The Grounders know what guns are and how to use them, they just haven't done so historically because if they did Mt. Weather would drop missiles on their villages. Indra even said in this last episode that she didn't know they could win in a fight with the Arkers unless they used guns.

Bellamy really should have shut Pike down right at the beginning. Even if he's losing confidence in himself and reverting to 'find an authority figure to follow' mode, he knows how many Grounders are out there. Go out and kill 300, and then ALL the rest are gonna get together and roll right over Arkadia. Guns don't even matter, sure they'll kill a lot of Grounders but gently caress if that matters when everyone is gonna die doing it. Honestly at this point they should do it. Let some of the sane arkers (Abby, Kane, Raven, some extras) slip away and get pardoned because they were against the attack. Let Pike and all the assholes get hosed and die. Then we can have Jaha hanging out in that rad Grounder tower peddling his happy pills.

It's just so infuriating that someone decided to write Pike as literally loving autistic and unable to realize that 'the Grounders' aren't one big monolithic group, and then all the stupid poo poo we're dealing with comes from that spiraling out of control. I mean Pike shouldn't have been an option for Chancellor to begin with. He'd just tried to start a war for christ's sake. "Oh, you want to vote for Pike? That's nice, I guess your vote's not getting counted, you can sit down now."

Snak posted:I mean it's frustrating, but Pikes attitude is reflective of historical attitudes that technologically advanced societies have towards less advanced natives. George Washington, for example, gave orders to massacre Native American peoples who were on his side, because they were inconvenient to him. In retributions for Okay, granted, but nobody thinks to call bullshit on him? Abby and Kane just spent months trying to figure out how to live with the Grounders, they finally work out a tenuous truce and avert a war, then some jackass shows up and is all 'we should kill em all!' and they're like, welp, guess he's boss now? I guess I'm not pissed at his idiotic black/white attitude, more at how the writers have made everybody else on the show retarded so that a guy who literally tried to commit mass murder 12 hours ago is made the boss so they can wring out more easy DRAMA

CeeJee posted:ALIE is pretty sharp to switch from crazy Jaha preaching to healing Raven of her pain which will be a massive encouragement to everyone who has seen how bad she was doing. Finally Raven wil have a chance to smile and be happy and it will on the whole be a really bad thing. drat you show ! Yeah that scene after she took the blue pill and the nanobots or whatever were blocking off her pain was a real 'oh poo poo' moment. Even beyond the legitimacy that'll give Jaha, and the access ALIE has to her mind now, blocking her pain receptors doesn't actually do anything for her leg, it just means she'll gently caress herself up worse because she doesn't hurt and will push herself harder.

Aphrodite posted:I assume they're actual medical nanobots or something, because it wasn't just pain, she couldn't fully use the leg. She was moving her knee around after taking it though. I took that bit as a psychosomatic thing because healing her leg in the 30 seconds or so those things had been in her body seemed ridiculous. But hell it's not like the show is hung up on being 'realistic' with the science/tech so who knows. e: If they were medical nanites why didn't they fix Lurch's face? VVV: It was more the speed of it. She had just taken the pill, it's not like any bots had time to be anywhere but her stomach at that point. WarLocke fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Feb 22, 2016 |

Astroman posted:Why is the 13th The 13th Station is kind of a legend type thing - people know about it, but it's not polite to mention that Unification Day came about because 1/13 of the human population (that they knew of) got nuked. Jaha mentions that data on the 13th Station was scrubbed from the Ark's computers because nobody wanted that inconvenient reminder. So it's something that people might 'know', but they're not going to make the leap to thinking that it's relevant now unless they have a reason to (like Jaha's leap of inspiration).

hollylolly posted:ALIE blocks all kinds of pain. Like the emotional pain one might feel when remembering how they sent their son to the ground to die and then found out he did die. Raven didn't give a flip about Finn's ashes, either. ALIE is blocking their painful memories. Yeah, when Abby brought up Wells and Jaha literally didn't remember him, I was like "... oh poo poo' They are doing a good job of making ALIE sinister as gently caress.

Johnny Truant posted:Thank you! I knew it was related to the city name. I hope the 'unusual truth' is the reality behind the Nightbloods I am about 95% behind the theory that 'night blood' is a side-effect of carrying BECKIE/AI2.0 suspended in your bloodstream. It would explain why Lexa had that nightmare with earlier Commanders speaking to her - the AI inside of her was trying to communicate Further bullshit speculation: since that one Night Blood dripped her own blood all over Clarke's face, I bet some of it got into her (probably via the mucous membranes under her eyelids) and she'll eventually manifest night blood herself as the AI propagates itself within her - we'll get two AIs waging a proxy war using their chosen avatars (Clarke vs Jaha)

Error 404 posted:Clarke vs Jaha  I'm assuming the mysterious eigth nightblood at Lexa's coronation or something was the one the chip actually 'chose', but something happened (not compatible somehow?) they died, and Lexa was the runner-up. This, nine candidates but only 7 tattoos on Lexa's back. The same thing is going to happen only with Clarke ending up getting the chip because of the night blood she now carries thanks to the other girl dripping blood in her face.  Also, holy poo poo that episode

Rurea posted:So my theory is that it's likely that because of the chip, each commander gets all of the experience and memories of the previous ones making them excellent warriors/tacticians. We saw Lexa meditating before her and Clarke banged, and so it's possible there's a city of light 2.0 that she gets to talk to them all through. Alie 2.0 has to directly interface through humans, and therefore feels emotions like love , empathy, and anger making her superior to ALIE 1. I'm not sure that's necessarily the case. Remember that ALIE2.0 was a response to the first version being coldly inhuman and calculating ("Too many people? Why not nuke most of them?") and Becka was talking about it being different because it would learn and grow with humanity. I kind of think what's been happening is that the AI has been piggybacking on all the Commanders and learning what it 'means to be human' and whatever else, and this was Becka's intent from the beginning. If you can't simply program an AI to know right from wrong, then give it multiple human lifetimes to grow and learn about it for itself. Which is not to say that there might not be some knowledge transfer in the other direction, but that may not have been the original point. e: It was kind of hamfisted but I really liked the reveal that the Grounders call their leader Commander because when Becka reached the ground her flight suit had COMMANDER stenciled on it.

Okay, so new rule: any non-het character can never have anything bad happen to them because killing off lesbians is a trope! gently caress guys, she was cast on another show. Should they have put Lexa on a bus to ice nation and never mentioned her again? Would that have been more acceptable? If the writers had killed her off just for shits and giggles, sure, get mad. This is them dealing with the fact that the actress literally would not be available anymore, not some anti-gay bullshit.
