To @Skyzy: I thought you made really great points. I also agree with you about Finn's mental state becoming less and less healthy because of the series of events he was put through in S1 and S2.

Now, I don't think Finn was obsessed with Clarke. You have to understand that Raven was Finn's only family. His other family could possibly and most likely not even be alive anymore. After he thought Raven had died, he thought he was alone. He even said so in 1x04. Yet he wasn't alone. He had Clarke. That was it. Just one person. Obviously, when Raven came down later on he had two people who loved him but before it was only one (Raven on the Ark/Clarke on Earth). I think the reason he was so worried about her and wanting to find her so badly was because of 1) His mental state kept him from making smart and safe choices and 2) She was all he had while on the ground and he LOVED her. I don't see it as obsession. I see it as desperation. Desperation to keep her safe.

With all that being said, how can you not bring yourself to feel even a small bit of compassion for a peace-loving boy who became broken and damaged because of the horrible and cruel treatment he received and because of the horrible and cruel treatment he had to watch his friends suffer through?
