i've noticed the race thing too. definitely agree with you on that :/// they could certainly do without antagonizing poc - and not just blacks but also asians imo, considering how the latter is still a ridiculously underrepresented minority in the entertainment industry - to "prop up the storylines of white characters." not saying that this was intentionally done, or that it was done at all, but it can be perceived that way. i've already seen this argument floating around. again i don't think it was done intentionally, but it's still...glaring. :////

not sold on the black blood idea. at all. i know i'll be cringing at the "science" behind it already, as if the scientific aspect of the mount weather "bone marrow transplant = radiation protection" wasn't bad enough. it's a cool concept, but! science is real! if you're going to insert science into the show, at least make it accurate :/// but then again the 100 has never been scientifically accurate even from season 1. e.g. how did the ark stop spinning? does newton's laws of motion not apply or anything? 9____9

kinda upset nia got offed so quickly. i thought she'd be in more episodes with all the hype she got.

roan/lexa's fight was beast. roan as the ice king? definitely something i want to see more of. a+

can't wait to see roan and clarke interact more.

agreed 100% about lincoln.

WHERE. WAS. RAVEN.

roan got banished from the azgeda; nia was the one who banished him, i think it was said.

the clarke-lexa exchange in the last bit of the episode was really good. there were parallels and acknowledgments abound.

i'm fast losing patience with everyone in arkadia. i feel bad for saying this, but i was kind of bored throughout all of their scenes. if i wasn't feeling outraged at pike and bell's storyline, that is. *sigh* jasper/monty's last scene was pretty great though; monty finally stuck up for himself and i did feel kind of sympathetic toward jasper when he tripped and then lost all of finn's ashes. ouch.

am i the only one who's noticed parallels with arkadia/grounders and americans/native americans/manifest destiny in the 19th century?

tldr this episode was way too hyped. it wasn't bad but it wasn't that good, either.
