I have such mixed feelings about Bellamy right now. I did not approve of his actions throughout S3 but he remains one of my favourite characters. I know that everything he did was what he perceived to be the right thing to do. The boy has a heart of gold but his moral compass is slightly off.



Despite that, I am disappointed. JR could have found many other ways to illustrate Bellamy’s pain and anger. Bellamy Blake had one of the most beautifully written character arc before S3. I think the reason why he is getting so much hate this season is because his story doesn’t make sense anymore. Everything came crashing down so fast. Sure, all the traumas he had to live through might have triggered his decision of switching sides and join Pike to fight off the Grounders. But there is no way it would have been strong enough to erase his personality. Bellamy went from rebel king to submissive follower. It was like JR took all the things that made us all love Bellamy and threw it out. I couldn’t even recognize him and it sadden me so much. Bellamy has so much potential; it’s a shame to see it go to waste because he follows blindly a madman. There is a huge plot hole in Bellamy’s story. Everyone can see it: Bellamy is completely out of character.

What you wrote was pretty much what Bob Morley keeps repeating in every interview where he is asked to justify Bellamy’s actions. And I somewhat approve with what it is said. Bellamy is not a lost cause but he has so much to make up for. And no, I am not asking him to apologize to every single person he sees but to at least find a way to make peace with his sister and possibly admit to himself what he did was wrong. Bellamy was never perfect and he did make quite a few wrong judgement calls. But I do not hate him. I don’t think I ever could. What I do hate is how the producers dealt with his character plot this season and how they treated him so poorly.

Hopefully, Bellamy can learn from his mistakes.
