My hope for the story going forward is that Lexa's decision to make peace with the Mountain Men has caused serious dissension within the grounder ranks. Not only did they not get vengeance against the legendarily evil force that had been tormenting them for decades but one of the Sky People was able to almost single handily get it done it herself. That makes Lexa look really weak and foolish. I hope that there are many grounders who have grown to respect Clarke, maybe even revere her, for bringing down the Mountain Men.

The Grounders are semi-feral tribal hillbillies that could get absolutely loving smoked by any reasonable advanced group that wanted to mess with them. Like they were literally a crop for Mt.

Jasper stop being such a poo poo that Maya died. who gives a gently caress

edit: I did like that they mentioned that Lexa not killing the mountain men weakened her position, so the other tribes feel they can act more boldly.

It doesn't make that much sense, since they have no reason to pose a threat to the grounders like the Mountain People did.
On the other hand, their betrayal makes a good case for turning on that fog and wiping them the gently caress out.

It makes sense because Mt Weather is basically where the boogeyman lived so the grounders would assume that anyone moving in would probably do more of the same poo poo.

They blew up the fog machine :(

Lexa says the Ice People are marching on "Polis". In keeping with the way things are named in this show, maybe that is Minneapolis? I guess that could mean the Ice People are Canadians? If we really run with that, we have a lumber store called Rona, which doesn't take a lot to re-arrange to Roan.

This is now my head canon. Ice nation, eh? :canada:

I'm coming around on Ice nation. They blew up Mt Weather so that no one could have it. And yea they are expanding now that their enemies(Lexa) are shown to be weak and betray their allies.

What I liked is that Arkadia apparently has a system of government where someone can commit treason and then hours later be on the ballot for Chancellor. That's definitely not a system that is ripe for abuse.

"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!

Lexa is kinda stupid. You just narrowly avoided an open revolt after that vote of no confidence because you didn't attack Mt Weather and were shown to be soft. Clearly the best possible course of action is to do the same thing again. Ditching your allies in the Mt Weather attack was a dick move, but you are totally justified here Lexa. Kill them all. Ice Nation was right all along :colbert:

Kill Arkadia. Let's go City of Light!

I'm curious as to how that grounder patrol knew about the symbol(infinity?) on the city of light chip and what it means to them.

3 months of peace after being back stabbed and left to die, and after Treekru engaged in biological warfare against a group of kids. Let's not forget that during these 3 months of peace, the grounders killed 2/3rds of the Farm Station and put out a bounty on the person who destroyed their biggest enemy.

The grounders have been making GBS threads on the Ark people ever since they hit the ground. Cage at least had a reason to kill them - grounders have been doing it just because they can. Treekru have killed more of the 100 than anyone else, and they were ready to let the Mountain Men kill the rest of them but people still want to give them a free pass.

Yea, but if you take that to the logical conclusion then the next episode should open with Arkadia being a flaming ruin with Pike's body crucified out front.

They should do that.

VagueRant posted:

Clarke's whole "give peace a chance" thing rings real loving hollow when the obvious answer to that is "we did! and it didn't work!" I mean is Lexa supposed to let it go as Pike wipes out villages to secure his perimeter? But yeah, the Arkers did indeed vote for this and they deserve to be burned to the ground for their stupidity.

TyrantWD posted:

Finn went rogue and was a solo actor - the only other Sky person present tried to get him to stop. Pike and his 10 good men acted on behalf of the people of Arkadia, and were only able to carry out the attack after being voted chancellor after communicating to the people what he planned to do.

Had the group marched out of the gate when Lincoln tried to stop them, you could make the case for punishing the 10 attackers. Now however, you can't separate Pike's group from the rest of the camp. You punish everyone, or you pardon everyone.

These guys get it. :hfive:

Even Bellamy didn't realize the plan was to execute all of them. I think that while can certainly hold the voters morally responsible, it makes sense to hold the actual perpetrators of the crime to be held legally responsible.

Are you really suggesting that there should be no middle ground between punishing everyone who voted for Pike and no one?

Then he's an idiot. What did he think the ambush of their army was for? To scare them?

And TyrantWD is completely right. The people voted for Pike knowing exactly what he was going to do. Kill em all and let Alie sort them out.

Snak posted:

Of course Bellamy's an idiot. And so are the voters. They're all shortsighted idiots ruled by fear.

I think you are completely over-reaching when you suggest that the average voter had all this information. For one thing, we didn't see the election. We have seen the narrative that Bellamy and Pike have been spinning which is that all grounders are the same and that the have been at war with them since they landed. A majority of the Arkers have barely interacted with grounders at all, much-less have a clear understanding of the situation. So sure you could just call them all guilty, but the goal here is survival and that doesn't help.

It's a small camp. Word will spread fast that Pike was sent to jail for treason because he wanted to attack the army. Of course people are going to talk about it, seeing as he's the last minute candidate.

They knew what they were voting for and now it's time to pay.

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.

Arkadia were making GBS threads their pants in fear of the grounder army in season 2. Guns aren't magically going to make Arkadia a power. They would definitely lose if it came to it.

Astroman posted:

Some of this can be blamed on the Grounders. Had they allowed the Arkers to move back into Mt Wx and not destroyed it and killed a bunch of Arkers, then the Arkers wouldn't have reason to be dicks. The Grounders feared the Arkers would become just like the Mountain Men; they made it happen anyway. Not saying Pike is justified, but it's a spiraling tragedy that could have been stopped at a lot of points.

Putting Pike in control of Mt Weather would have been fantastic! Definitely would have ended well for everyone involved.

Arkadian Grunt: "Reich Chancellor Pike, the enemy are at our thirty foot high gates and they have brought sticks! STICKS!!'

The last time the grounders sent an army at the Arkadians they got massacred by children, dude. Pike has this on lockdown.

The "children" only won because they had deus ex rocket fuel air bomb, which ark station probably doesn't have. Even then, they got their poo poo pushed in considering they even had real walls and not thin sheets of corrugated metal held together by string. And who even knows how many guns and how much ammo Arkadia has(it's as much or little as the plot demands :v:).
