That podcast was amazing and it got me very excited to listen to the rest. And i thought maybe i should explain who my favorite characters are since i never really did say who they were. I'll do it in order from 5-1, 1 being my favorite character.

5. Octavia - Such a cool character and i loved her origins as the person who nobody knew existed. It was actually quite sad when that was revealed and how she was never really all that attached to the Ark. She can hold her own, and she was never the damsel in distress (all thanks to Lincoln). I had the wrong impression since the pilot, especially the Jasper and the mutated fish(?) scene, but that threw me off.

4. Thelonious Jaha - You can't hate this dude, unless this was Season 3. Jaha was always the optimist and tried to make the best out of every situation. Yes, he did do bad things on the Ark but he didn't have any other choice as that was the rules on the Ark, that's how people do things there and it was like that for 3 generations(?). But once he came down to Earth in Inclement Weather, he just got so much better. He was very human and always made the best out of every situation. I just gotta love that guy.

3. Lincoln - By far the best grounder ever introduced on the show. Every action he makes is noble and he was never out for himself. He's a far more intelligent person and every action he makes is very human. I never looked at him and said "Wow, this guy is too primitive". Especially his reaction to Bellamy in the last few episodes, he was this close to knocking the float out of him. And his love towards Octavia is simply admiring. I also named a character after him in a script i'm making.

2. Marcus Kane - He's closer to my number 1 (that should be your hint) but this dude has the best character development out of any show, or at least one of the best (coughWalterWhitecough). You have to admire him, especially this season. He was never the bad guy but like Jaha, he made bad decisions. He's way too lovable and he deserved chancellor for a while. Cusick is an amazing actor and he's what brings this character to the spotlight, i can't imagine anyone else as him. His development alone brings this show up by 2 points.

1. John Murphy - Unlike any other character on his list, i can relate to him the most. He started off as a villain with a mean looking face but when Season 2 came along, i understood his actions. He's a dude who was wronged by everyone on the Ark, and brought his frustration to the Delinquents. Even though some of his actions were extreme, i can't deny i would've thought any different had i been raised in a place such as the Ark. And Season 2 brings his character full circle and what makes him a lot more realistic. He's not entirely good like Kane, but he's grown a lot since his first appearance. He has his old ways with him but he found a way to become the better man. Season 3 especially was great for him, and i loved his dynamic with Jaha in Season 2. I'm also a Emurphy (Emori + Murphy; idk the actual ship name) shipper since those two play off well together.
