On Octavia's decision, I really see where she was coming from, however, she should have been putting her people above honor (the same as Roan). It's what you do for those you care about: Give up all your morals and values so that they could live. As much as it was considered the "selfless" thing to do, I still view it as pretty selfish, as she wasn't willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for her people and did what she thought was right.

Bellamy didn't give a damn about "honor", he only cared about Octavia, and would have been fine with Skaikru taking the bunker as long as she was in it. He's supposed to be a leader, and that means sacrificing family for the good of your people.

Clarke couldn't pull the trigger on Bellamy, thus causing harm to her people. She gave up hundreds to save one person. Another selfish "leadership" choice.

Abby couldn't walk away from Marcus to save her people either, and she has the nerve to still act as Chancellor.

Really they all suck and they are all too selfish to be leaders. Keeping the bunker door shut was no different than pulling the lever at Mount Weather or letting the bomb drop on Tondc or Clarke shutting the dropship door with Bell and Finn still outside or the Culling.

And what pissses me off is that everyone who made the decision (O, Bell, Clarke, and Abby) still think they deserve a spot in the bunker. The least they could do is give up their spots like true leaders.

Tbh, Jaha is a better leader MOST (not all) of the times and that's saying a lot. What do you mean by Abby acting as Chancellor? She haent been Chancellor since early season 3... and even then she was just kind of subbing for Kane. Kane is Chancellor, and I think he is a great leader. He is willing to compromise and be open-minded with regard to the grounders and delinquents, but is ultimately all about saving the human race at any cost, and has shown he will make tough an ruthless choices if backed into a corner to save his people and humanity. Kane is respected, enforces law and order, but is also flexible where it counts. I have always thought he should be Chancellor and I'm happy he is. He's the type of leader you need during an apocalypse.

I think Octavia's plan is partially correct. It was the right thing to do saving the grounders clans. However, I would've let Arkadia fill the bunker with it's 400 or so people, and split the rest evenly between the other clans. This would still be seen as righteous on her part, since she didn't have to share at all, but it would let all of Arkadia survive, ultimately giving humanity a better chance in the future due to the Arkadians understanding of technology and organized governance. They will be best at maintaining the bunker and rebuilding after the death save. Octavia did do the right thing saving the other clans, but she should've given more priority to her people with regards to how the bunker was split.

This is all just opinion of course :)
