Real talk, I actually enjoyed this episode quite a bit. Maybe it was because of the nostalgia that came with it. Worst thing about the episode for me was the whole thing with Kane. Watching him get weirdly "seduced" by "Abby" because ALIE apparently thinks all men can be tricked with sex -_- as if they're wild animals or something. I also dislike how JR keeps trying to get us to forgive Bellamy, it's not happening lol

I loved the flashback to Earth Skills. I love Murphy as a character, and seeing him and Pike interact in the flashback was so entertaining. To see Pike in a different light was interesting. One thing I hate about antagonists is when they aren't complicated, but we finally got to see more of why Pike is the way he is. Pike fought for these kids to survive, even volunteered to go down with them, drove himself nuts trying to get stuff through their heads.

I hate that I'm rooting for Pike a little bit. It's the actor I tell you. The actor does such a great job. That all said, Pike deserves to die for what he's done, but like I said, at least we understand why he did what he did. There's resolve in that.
