That stuff drives me crazy, too. These people  could at least respect the feelings of those of us who cared about Finn. I'm actually devastated at his loss. If he deserved to die, so does  Bellamy and Murphy. They're just a guilty as Finn. But Finn is the one everyone wanted to see punished. It took some beans or nuts to make Bellamy have a bout with his conscience. And that was it. Finn, on the other hand, had to die. And why death? Whatever happened to imprisonment? Yeah, it made for a good story, but it wasn't fair in the broader scheme of things.

I think the writers made the massacre as visceral as they could to make Finn's crime look more terrible than the crimes of the others. A hundred and twenty bodies twinkling down from the sky doesn't inspire such a strong reaction. But it was just as awful. So was smothering helpless people. And these two planned their acts. Finn just snapped.

I hope the writers don't give into that Bellarke stuff, because it would just be jarring to those of us who mourn Finn.
