It might help you understand things better, but it is just my take on it so it probably isn't 100% accurate. That was a great analysis and it definitely gave me a lot more to think about! I hadn't fully considered the bad blood between Kane and Bellamy. All that said, something we know for sure is that those 300 grounders were there to protect Arkadia. Bellamy chose to go out there and murder all of them. Him sparing Indra or "trying" to spare the injured isn't really that meaningful in my opinion. I say this as someone who's favourite character was Bellamy up until a few episodes ago. The moment he put that hand cuff around Clark's wrist, I just knew it was over. He's suffered a lot, but so has Clark, so has Raven, so have everybody. They didn't go out and slaughter 300 innocent people.

Sorry, I know this is just a show lol I'm just disappointed. I'm only now realizing how much I miss the focus being on Jasper, Monty, the other delinquents, and then Kane, Abby, and Lincoln. To me, Kane's development was one of the best storylines on the show, so I hope he's able to figure out how to fix this Pyke disaster. (Also, I'm surprised the people of Arkadia turned on Kane so fast) Yes, I found Kanes character development to be one of the most interesting in the show as well. Really hoping for him to boot Pike out of power. I doubt that all loyalty to Kane has been lost. Kane was extensivly involved in the Gaurd and, if anyone had the clout with them to organize a coup, its Kane. Interstingly the only way for Kane to save Arkadia seems to be to take the Chancellory the very way he didn't want to, without an election. Pike has loyal followers in the farm station residents, but most of his other "support" that won him the election is just scared Arkadians who he managed to fearmonger. As a big supporter of Kane for chancellor I am alittle biased but I don't think he's lost all (or even most of) his support. Arkadia wants strength and all Kane needs to do to win them back is to show his strenght again while continuing to show reason and diplomicy. If Kane can combne these two sides of his personality Pike is finished.

Also, Bellamys betrayal, that really shocked me. I completely agree with you on the fact that Bellamy sparing Indra and attempting to spare some of the wounded does not make him innocent. He murdered people there to help protect Arkadia (in our world an act like that would probably be considered Treason, but Pike is (I don't even know what the right word is so im just going to try this one) a racist against grounders. I'm interested to see how the grounders respond. Lexa is begining to look weak to her people and I would nominate Indra her replacement. Grounder politics don't leave much room for weakness and emotional attachment.
