 * Finn's descent into madness could have been a little tighter.
 * There were small signs in Season 1 if you look for them. Season 2 was more of the big signs but he still went from executing one Grounder to murdering 18 fairly quickly. Understandable, yes, but it was a stretch.
 * The Mountain Men and their dubious choices-i get where they are coming from, they basically had an extreme form of cabin fever but they should've known it wasn't worth the deaths of those people, and i don't get why they couldn't just take the donated organs from the ark people
 * They were extreme racists is what they were. Once you understand that, it makes sense why they never bothered considering donation or waiting. The Sky People were just like the Grounders to them: disposable.
 * Clarke's decision to let Tondc get bombed (and not tell Octavia)-ehh, that is kind of understandable
 * I still can't wrap my head around this one. BELLAMY'S SISTER. You know, her inside man who started out with only one other person on earth he cared about (Octavia) and Clarke left her to die. It was selfish, thoughtless, cruel, and unnecessary. I can understand about the 250 other people she left to die and the 350 Mountain Men she killed, but not about Octavia. Straight-up MEAN.
 * Lexa's decision to betray Clarke-yeah that was dumb, IMO lexi is a bad leader, she has made some dumb decisions so far, clarke would be much better
 * Lexa is not a bad leader just because she picked her thousands and thousands of warriors and her people who had been held captive over the last +50 years by the Mountain over a handful of Sky People who had already killed well over 300 of her warriors already.

"Clarke letting Tondc get bombed was a mistake in my opinion. But even more so, Lexi abanoding them makes no sense. They're all for blood will have blood and all of that stuff. The writers went against everything we've learned about the grounders in the past two seasons for drama and suspense. It didn't make sense."

Their "Blood must have blood" is about retribution and justice, Hammurabi's Code. BUT, that's only one aspect that we've been shown about their culture. We don't know what other beliefs they hold and how they rate on the Grounder Justice scale in comparison.

Truces are compromises where one side has to give up some of its losses while another side has to give up some of its wins. Remember, Lexa was able to get the Ice Nation to join the Coalition even after they had killed who knows how many Trikru (and others) and most likely without equal Blood for Blood. Why wouldn't she do the same with the Mountain Men who have killed WAY more of her people over the years than the Sky People (who the MM would theoretically wipe out for them anyway)? It was a smart business move even if it came at the expense of the Sky People.
