I, in all brutal honesty, have no sympathy for Octavia. The fighting pits I can understand; that was an act of desperation. But there was no need to lead all those people, her own people, to their deaths after also needlessly torching the herb garden which could well have worked happily and peacefully for everyone had she given it the chance. The only good thing about her, near as I can tell, is that her eyes finally opened at the end, when she allowed Madi to take over as Commander. You may think this weird, but I see many similarities between her and Darth Vader: both are deeply trouble and messed up; both were seriously misguided; both at great cost finally saw the errors of their ways and repented.
