Also, side note, anyone notice the 12/13 comes up alot, how many similarities the show has with LOST, Joss Whedon shows, that there is the 100 in comics totally unrelated to the show, and still keep finding more similarities to government conspiracies....I could go on but won't....has anyone else noticed anything else? The second dawn cult, the dude on the island, and the mountain men are not in anyway connected. The second dawn bunker is in polis which is ten hours away from polis so there is no way for him to make it to the bunker before the bombs hit. Beca even told the guys who found Chris not to go outside because they wouldn't be able to make it back inside before the bombs. I think someone came out and said the guys that found Chris died while removing his body. As for the guy with emori he was her brother otan.

As for the cult releasing ALIE I doubt it. The way I understand how the show explains it is ALIE was extremely smart alread, and figured out how to escape thereby causing the apocalypse.

From how the show explains the cult it didn't seem like they believed in a master race, just that the end of the world would eventually happen and they just happened to be right.

As for the infinity symbol Kane confirmed it was a corporate logo. Which was the logo for becca's organization or the company she worked for. The way I look at it is that after a certain amount of time the cult came out of the bunker and the survivors were founders of a grounder clan. After all the years their origins were forgotten and they came known as grounders.

As for the mountain men and cult being connected I highly doubt. The founder seemed like he was a regular everyday person who became well known due to him being the founder of the cult. However from what I could tell he didn't seem like he was in a position of power to be involved with sending people to space. The mountain men probably are descendants of the U.S. Government so it is possible that their founders played a role in selecting what U.S. people got on the American space station. Remember though the ark was made up of 12 different space stations from 12 different countries, and the U.S. Was only one of the 12 space stations.

As for the numbers 12 and 13 I see them as parallels of each other. At first there were 13 stations that wanted to unite as one. However one (Polaris) won't corporate with the other 12 so the stations destroyed it. Then on earth there were 12 grounder clans, and the arkadians were looked at as the 13th clan. Similar to Polaris they weren't following the grounder laws so the coalition threatened to destroy them similar to how Polaris was destroyed. In the end I take it as it was a leason for the arkers not to let history repeat itself.

In conclusion I haven't read the books, but I've heard the show is very different. I wouldn't call it a crazy theory, more like fan fiction canon which is fun to do sometimes. Also I don't think the show has anything to do with or a representation of government conspiracy.
