I agree.. I am trying to find a reason to keep liking this show. It's really starting to get too far fetched with too many implausibilities.

For one, Clarke's decision to kill off the mountain people.. the old and boring "us or them" ideology.. if they really believed in starting fresh and abandoning the 'old ways', she could have tried harder to find an alternative solution.. and in this case, it wasn't hard at all. She had the power to reverse the ventilation system. So logic has it she had the power to return it back to its original state. SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL THE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE, she just had to cripple them! Turn off the ventilation until they couldn't help themselves, and then turn it back on again once everything was clearly in their control. She had access to all the cameras so she could observe their state.. anyway, this is just one case of the simple one dimensional thinking of the series writers..

A second bone of contention.. Pike's draconian agenda to eradicate all grounders.. sure he went through hard times and lost a bunch to the grounders but it doesn't take much to understand that they're not all alike. there's good and evil in all of us.. the grounders are human just like Pike. He was a teacher for god sake! He should have known better. His actions make no sense. He obliterates an army sent to protect them. If he had doubts, a sensible man would have awaited the outcome of the peace coalition negotiations. Okay even so.. he might have acted out of lack of knowledge of what was happening in Lexa's nest, but that certainly wasn't the case when he chose to exterminate innocent villagers. And everyone blindly follows his vendetta cause despite the evidence to the contrary. Just ridiculous.. I wouldn't want to live under that kind of stupid leadership.. nor should they!

And then the 'City of Lights' plot thread.. an AI program gone wild.. and seeking an upgrade.. in a 13th pod left behind on earth a century before. Of course it's still going to be functional! Don't get me started on that one!! It just makes me laugh so damn hard.... and to think Murphy is the only sane person of the entire bunch! that's just not saying much about the quality of the writing of this show.

Very sad..
