Okay, so since a lot of people have joined the conversation, I'll leave some of my thoughts.

1. Did anyone else get the feeling that Bellamy and Pike had met before? When Pike mentioned Clarke being good in his Earth Skills class, Bellamy said "nice to see you, sir". Not "nice to meet you". It sounded more like they had met and were reuniting again. Maybe Pike not only taught Clarke, but Bellamy too (although probably years before).

2. I'm so happy that Monty is getting more screentime this season. And I am really liking his relationship with Bellamy. The same goes for Kane. And also kind of Indra, too (although she doesn't really have a defined relationship with Bellamy). The Kane/Indra dynamic is interesting.

3. I also am enjoying Roan and Pike's characters, too. They both are off to a strong start and the actors have done great jobs so far at portraying them. Although I'm not too certain about their morals, they are at the very least intriguing. Also, it should be noted that Roan could have very easily killed Bellamy, but chose not to. Clarke's threat was meaningless. Roan had her tied up - fighting back would do her no good and Roan would easily win. I'd like to think there is more to him than meets the eye. Plus, that reveal of "Prince Roan" was neat.

4. I'm getting a total Matrix vibe out of the City of Light (and a bit of Lost, too). I'll leave it at that, otherwise I will get too caught up in my theories.

5. I thought that Devon Bostick was really great in this episode. Although the Mount Weather storylien with Nyko and Abby/Lincoln etc was the least interesting part of this episode (in my opinion) I thought he did an awesome job. That haircut seems to be doing things. Maybe it's because you can see his eyes more clearly. After all, the eyes are the window to the soul. . . . And I'm happy to see Octavia and Jasper's friendship again, however briefly. It was seriously lacking in Season 2.

6. And my god. I feel so horrible for Bellamy. I don't even know where to begin, but this episode just made me adore him even more. Not sure how quickly that leg wound will heal, though. . . Hopefully soon. We already have one Raven on our hands (not that this is anything like that) - I would hate to see another main unable to fight for a while.

7. That shot of Polis was pretty cool. Nice reveal. Although it didn't really look like a real city to me (cause it isn't). I imagine there must have been a lot of CGI or green screen used for that.
