Skyzy, I took another look at what you were saying about the radio, and you've got your facts wrong. The components that Raven used for the walkie/talkies came from the wreckage of the Exodus Ship, not the drop ship. Wells had said that the communication system on the dropship was dead. A dozen panels were missing from the roof, and the wirers were fried from the heat of re-entry. Sinclair said the same thing, that there was a total system failure- no audio, no video, and no computer link. The transmitter from the bunker didn't have a microphone to input voice messages. You can't know if Monty would have been able to patch the transmitter into the Ark's main frame, either. I'm no expert on how radios and computers work, but I don't think that you can say with certainty that Finn not telling anyone about the bunker prevented someone finding the transmitter, which could have been used to contact the Ark before Raven came down with the radio.

But let's say that you are right. This would still not let Bellamy off the hook because no matter what Finn did or didn't do, there was still time to save those 320 people if Bellamy hadn't sabotaged the radio. Finn wanted to contact the Ark. He wasn't trying to prevent that. He wanted to keep the bunker for emergencies. You can accuse him of being selfish or short sighted if you like, but Bellamy knew exactly what he was doing. It was a deliberate act and he knew the people on the Ark could die as a result. He knew he could be putting the 100 in danger, and he did it anyway to save himself. Which one of them was acting more selfishly then? Still you want to blame it all on Finn.

I know you want to think that I'm protecting Finn again, and I've got it in for Bellamy. The truth is, I don't dislike Bellamy. What I've said here is just deductive reasoning. But you used the term "sex bunker" to make Finn sound sleezy. That's not an objective assessment. These two people were in love, and Finn suggested keeping the bunker a secret before they slept together. You don't like Finn. Fine. But must you blame him for everything?
