I just read some of the comments. I didn't realize people too the characters so very seriously. So, I hope I didn't offend anyone with my above comment. I just don't see them as like real people, but as characters in a show. So, I wasn't trying to make anyone mad or start any drama. I did like some of the comments I read. I agree with the person who said they think Bellamy and Clarke will get together eventually, but not any time soon. They will drag out the small signs of trust, respect, and affection as long as possible. I like that part, too. It makes a good story. Also, to the person who said that the grounders are primitive and we might be that way without our technology. There are people now who think like that. Gangs have "blood for blood" and revenge killings and stuff like that. When people live in survival mode all the time, especially children, it changes the brain. Their brain stem does most of their thinking, and they just don't get much into the higher levels of thinking.

Also, about Finn's age. I don't think the Grounders think teens are children. I think it is like earlier civilizations where they were already considered adults, mostly because the lifespan was shorter. After all, their leaders have been young women. So they see that age as able to make mature decisions and account for their actions. Not that what they wanted to do to him was okay, but it wasn't his age that makes it not okay.
