1)      As I said before, you have to create your own “right moments”. Things don’t just happen by chance or “destiny”. Things happen because people make them happen. The fact is that the council didn’t know that the people of The Ark would riot. They didn’t tell them because Jaha and the council didn’t trust their people. The people of The Ark didn’t like the council, the guard, or any part of the “system” because it was corrupt. So why not prove them wrong and tell them the truth? It was the truths that Jake and Abby shared that made the people come together. Yes, they were afraid of dying. However, the people of The Ark didn’t riot or try to take down the council in The Culling. They bonded together over the fact that they had loved ones who could be hurt. It was love that made those people volunteer, not fear.

2)      A: Jasper wasn’t drunk in S1, but I already said that. Also, what would you do if you thought one of your friends was going to be hurt? Lexa created a moment where she tried to change the minds of two civilizations. Had Titus not shot her, I think she would’ve achieved that. I think this because I think Lexa was trying to make up with Skaikru by giving out the order “Blood must not have blood”.  Up until Lexa made that proclamation, Skaikru had done what they could to bend to the will of Grounders. It makes sense that after being told to “fuck off” so many times that they would get upset.

B: Emerson was a key contributor to what Cage did in the Mountain in S2. He also blew up the Mountain in S3. So I think that there was some forgiveness needed from not just Clarke, but all of Skaikru. Yes, Clarke should’ve sought forgiveness from Emerson as well because she did kill his family and friends; so I agree on that front. However to claim that Emerson is the victim in a situation he contributed to seems counterproductive.
