"Abby
More things that make Abby unbearable:


 * Held an election less than a day after joining the Coalition
 * Gave said election to a man who broke the law moments earlier by arming ten people with guns to go massacre those same people she just joined a coalition with
 * Did not radio Indra ahead of time to warn her Pike was coming
 * When Octavia wanted to break the rules, told Octavia, "That's not the way we do things." Since when?!? Kane had to freaking shock-lash your insolent ass and now you've decided to follow the rules??"

Yes, the Abby Griffin Chancellory is still giving me an even bigger headache now then it did while she was still Chancellor, and that's saying something. How Pike was even allowed on the ballot while incarcerated is beyond me. Arkadia has to have some form of law regarding who can and can't run for Chancellor. If Abby had done anything that a logical person would have we would be back to the (in my opinion much anticipated) Kane Chancellory, Pike would still be in a cell and the Grounder peace keeping force would still be alive and well.

Also, as a politician, the mere idea of holding an election without providing any time for candidates to formally campaign or debate in any way shape or form has me scratching my head. Surely they didn't do it that way on the Ark.

Lastly, thank you for pointing out how great Octavia was this episode. I loved (as you pointed out) how she called out Clarke. Clarke really has no qualifications for the position of ambassador beyond being the famed Wanheda. She isn't even really an Arkadian at this point (having spent 3 months in the wilderness and all). This was a great review and really captures my favorite moments. Thanks :)
