I think we have to stop using the terms "good" and "evil" for people. When are judging these characters by our standards, and their world is completely different from ours. In their world, killing people is common, because sometimes you have to kill in order to survive. Their world is like a war zone, with different tribes in the same area. You go out of your own area, you are at risk of dying. It may not be right, but that's the world that exists for them. I don't think the Grounders are bad people; killing is just what happens.

I think Finn, Clarke and Bellamy have all done things that are wrong and could be considered evil, especially Finn and Bellamy. I have more sympathy for Bellamy as he has shown his guilt in episode 1x08; I hope that Finn will show the same remorse in the next episode.

Do I think Finn should die for his crimes? No. However, he should be punished for what he did. I am more willing to be sympathetic to him though, because what he did was not normal. He was clearly suffering from some type of stress disorder. That was clearly shown when he looked at Clarke after he had killed all those people, as if he was oblivious to the sobbing around him. In fact I don't think Bellamy should have let him go, but then Bellamy wanted to find his people just as much as Finn, so I can understand why he allowed Finn to leave.

I think the danger with Finn is that he is clearly not all there right now i.e. not able to make good decisions and easily pushed to the edge. Perhaps that makes him LESS of a "bad" person than Bellamy or Clarke. But the point is that Finn can no longer be trusted to make the right decisions, and the others will have to take that in account. Put it this way, I don't think he should be allowed out of camp when they return, and definitely not with a gun.

I definitely prefer Bellamy/Clarke as a couple than Finn/Clarke, because I see the former couple as kindred spirits who understand and trust each other. Right now I can say that Clarke will trust Bellamy more than Clarke.

My point to the statement above is even though I ship Bellamy and Clarke, I do like Finn. I think he is a very good character, and I actually find him more interesting now he has gone darker. I do not want him to die. That being said, I actually think he could be killed off. Right now he is not acting rationally, and those Grounders will be out for Finn's death.

I think Human Trials was a brilliant episode and can't WAIT for the third of December! I am really looking forward to seeing what happens after what Finn did.
