Also, about Echo. Ever since S2 people are shipping her with Bellamy, you know, MW. And that shipping kind of slowed down when Echo/Ice Nation blew up MW killing Gina. But it has started again after 4x01 aired. People think, especially with her coming to Arkadia now, that there will be some frenemy/sexual frustration-situation going on between her and Bellamy.

This is just what I read on twitter though. Personally I am never really a fan of "Sleep with the person who is responsible for the death of your lover"- trend. And like the person above says, Abby should show some more grief. Well, this just establishes it. The dead are gone and forgotten in this show. Grief is portrayed very rarely, and very briefly. Raven hooked up with Wick several episodes after Finn died. Clarke kissed Lexa mere days (in timeline) after he died.

Now Kabby and potentially Octalian... Oh well. Yes but you are allowed to complain when you don't like something too. And I personally have little sympathy for most people living in the Hollywood/Celeb culture land because money means nothing to them, they don't know what it is like to live in the real world. So it bothers me when they think they know and trythe to portray it in a way that is untrue. But I agree Taya, once you are dead on the show you are forgotten, Kim Shumway actually said that too. With Clarke, it could be questioned was her fling with him really love at all though, it went sour very quickly and I believe she kissed him more as a respect thing to him because afterwards she left Raven to do the grieving for him and told his ghost to get lost and she wanted nothing to do with his ashes, denying them twice. Even if it wasn't love for her though, it was still disrespectful for her to move on so soon. But while everyone is really happy for Kabby, I actually really disapprove of it, I think these things are not a good message for the show to portray. They didn't even have a proper funeral for Lexa, to just let her have her day because once they are dead, they aren't considered important.

And another thing that really bothers me is the sheer xenophobia presented towards grounders on this show. I feel like it's not safe to follow any of them because they are always killing the popular ones we love. But a lot of people believe it or not, have actually started rooting for the grounders. So immediately they are discarding half their fanbase.

Interesting, I can see why people made that suggestion though. Echo is in many ways like Octavia in personality arguably. And she is so like Bellamy too. Bellamy always has sexual frustrations, in season 1 he slept with two women at the same time and for a number of reasons including his dominant stance on sex and getting it, I really cannot stand him and for that reason wish that he would leave Clarke alone to grieve her love. Clarke deserves better, she deserves to be independent and strong again but she probably won't be. Honestly this is turning into something that resembles 50 Shades of Filth rather than the 100 because this show promotes sex but not love and the whole survival thing comes second nature these days if we're lucky. I mean to do this to the characters though, it is not very realistic or respectful towards past characters and there fans now is it?
