The man who wants to save everyone has to make a deal with the monster to stop the devil, only to realize mcreary was just as bad brilliant! Vinson trying to kill Kane felt way out of left field. I thought they were building him up to help Abby and Kane, so I felt that sudden switch was unnecessary except for a shocking moment. Besides killing Kane does nothing for the story.

The attack and ambush at the gorge had its ups and down. So what was the point to Ethan? Jaha's death did nothing for him nor did Madi or Octavia. They should have just scrapped the idea of him and his dad last season. I think the writers didn't know what to do with him. He's pretty much the equivalent of Aidan from uncle the dome. Shows shouldn't put characters like this in the show it always ends the same way. Also did anyone else notice they reused the same filming area used in the tinder box? That's so lazy for the people behind the scenes to do.

This episode would have been the perfect episode to kill cop. Make her go out protecting Octavia. Miller getting wounded was stupid. After the Lexa fiasco we know they're not going to kill an LGBT character so why make it look like he's going to die. Indra should have been wounded instead of Gaia. Octavia seeing her mentor being wounded would have been more impactful. The scene where the prisoners were on patrol they should have had them shot the dead to make sure they were dead. Plus it fits with sadistic nature of Mcreary's men. The scene where Octavia is going to sacrifice herself would have been better if she or Murphy died. Plus what was the point of giving Murphy the gun since it never worked. That was dumb. Also Octavia realizing she broke wonkru happened too fast. She should have come to that realization in the finale. Plus really liked how Bellamy was like yes I want you to die great moment.

I really like how they brought the Clarke story full circle. Clarke finally letting Madi go perfectly symbolizes raising a child. You do everything in your power to protect them and lead them on the right path until they move out and start that next stage in life. Clarke letting Madi go is her letting her step into that next stage.

Raven and Shaw I didn't care much for cause the relationship just feels way too rushed like every relationship in the show. Echo was really great too, just wish they used her more in the season. She's grown into a great leader from a soldier.

I really hope Shaw, Raven, Murphy, Indra or Octavia dies. Not all of them but at least one or two of them. I totaly agree with you on the Ethan part, Even though he had such a small part to play in this season i really liked him and i feel as though it was so stupid adding him just to kill him 2 minutes after his first appearance.

I feel asthough the writers are trying to make there scenes more intense but are doing it the wrong way. Instead of killing off small/non exsistant characters kill of some main ones.

I also totally agree with you on Indra getting shot that would've been way more impactful and would've made the episode so much better.
