Although I'm still reeling from episode 4, I do think this episode was a slight improvement and I'm still holding out for the show to get better so I'll stick around at least until the end of the season.

Is it only me that liked Lexa better last season? It was her ruthlessness, strength as a commander, and "love is weakness" ideology that made me so fascinated with her. Except now it seems that those traits are becoming less and less prominent, especially the last one. I get that this makes her a more suitable love interest for Clarke (and it's obvious that's where they are taking the story) but I just wish it wasn't at the expense of the things that made me interested in her in the first place.

Also, a petition for Pike's death. If Indra did it, that would be satisfying (I wasn't really convinced when she told Lexa she wouldn't go seeking vengeance). Or Bellamy blowing off Pike's head instead of any more Grounders would be a nice change, too, but hey - the writers don't seem to care that much about Bellamy's character development so why do I even bother to imagine such things?
