I am not one for watching american shows. I can seriously count the western tv shows that I watched in my three fingers (Outlander, The 100 and recently Game of Thrones). But because I was so intrigued by the tumblr posts floating in my dash, I just had to buy the trilogy to read the books and then watched all the three seasons (a feat if I may say so myself considering my patience with long visuals). And the rest was history a.k.a. I was immediately hooked. That said, I will continue watching it simply because I enjoy it and because of the superb acting. No matter what the haters will say, the only opinion that matters is yours. And at the end of the day it's a tv show. Only that its a tv show that will continuously question moral standards and opens up a lot of possibilities and avenues to talk about issues such as mental health and humanity.Things that are right up my alley. Sure there is toxicity in the fandom but how that will affect you is ultimately up to you. Personally I think everyone has the right to their own opinion (until of course they step on somebody else's toes at which point it stops being cool) and as long as everyone can respect that we'll have a functioning fandom.

There's a lot of things to be excited for in S4. I actually can't wait for the development of the characters... almost all of them can go to places we haven't seen before. Monty with the guilt of killing his mother, Raven with the info that Allie left behind, Jasper with standing up again, Bellamy with the consequences of his action, Clarke with the news of the apocalypse and many more. The decision itself whether to reveal or not the coming nuclear breakdown is an interesting question. I do have high hopes for the coming season.
