Talk:Finn Collins/@comment-26269248-20150702033023

Warning: I am most likely going to get A LOT of hate for the following comments, but I feel that they need to be brought to people's attention/answered since so many people have talked about Finn that I am not sure if these things have been addressed or not.

Was it ever SPECIFICALLY STATED ON-SCREEN that Finn had PTSD/some form of mental problem? If any1 of us had been in Finn's position/survived the things he went through I bet we would all be stressed/somewhat crazy, however I don't remember at any point some1 on the show saying that he was diagnosed with mental trauma/he admitted that he was crazy. I also ask that since he seemed to be the voice of reason back in season 1, for him to be the most crazy person on the show (which is saying something when we have characters like Jasper and Murphy on here as well) I just want to know if this was every directly stated by a character and not some1 who works for the show.

This leads into something that I as a television viewer hold when I find a show that I like: If something is never said/shown ON-SCREEN (be it a character's death, deleted scenes, action scenes just mentioned, or information about a character's backstory) and just revealed by a person who worked on the show OFF-SCREEN then I don't consider it continuity/relevant to the story. I know this seems weird but just think about it. People may love a movie franchise like Star Wars but hate certain things about it that are in extended continuities/aspects of the universe never said within the films themselves, but in my case I have only seen the 6 main films and the Clone Wars series (which is in continuity with the films) and I have nothing else to do with the extended universe (such as novels, games, or fan theories that aren't in the films). And I know that this upsets people who are more into a TV/movie series, but as I said this is just me keeping with the main continuity.

Finally (bringing what I just said back into relevance to The 100), certain things about the show that bother me are things that are never explained/happen off-screen that we are just suppose to except. Things like Callie's death, not explaining what happened to characters who just disappeared after 1 appearance, continuity issues, and deleted scenes will bother me nonstop until resolved within the series itself, whether a character says something/we see something. Lastly (and this is the part that some people will hate me for), if Finn does have mental issues/disorders that were NEVER SPECIFICALLY STATED ON-SCREEN by another character/revealed at some point either before or after the village massacre, then I don't think that people should blame this as a factor in Finn's actions/blame Finn for being crazy if he was perfectly content in Season 1 then he was made crazy in Season 2 just for drama.

I know this was a long comment that might upset some people in more ways then 1, but I just had to share this personal way I view films/shows, and I feel I need some explanation on Finn's character. Thanks for reading and may we meet again.
