Things that bother me this season.

How many SkyPeople are left? Feels like barely 150 or so. The coalition must have thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of combat ready troops. It seems completely implausible that Pike should be able to convince anyone that killing 300 will lead to a positive outcome. This particular plotline irks me the most. Totally irrational. The opposing army simply needs to surround the compound and starve them out.

The Pike storyline? Another irritation. My preference for dealing with Pike is a "blood for blood" scenario. I'd like to see Pike and his merry band of idiots ambushed on their way to the site they plan to ambush.

Next up is Clark. This season she's not been worthy of her title. Season 3 Clark is weak, wimpy and irrational. Writers, listen up. Here's how to give Clark back her spine. Have her tell Lexa about Pike's stupid ambush plans then sit back and let Lexa do her thing. I'll thank you, the people of Arkadia will thank you and your viewers will thank you.

Oh, and I can’t wait for grief struck Jasper to get his act together. Does he really think that if Clark had hesitated for 2 more minutes he would have killed off all of the armed guards in the room single handedly with a knife? No. Instead he would have been shot and the others who were chained up would all have been killed after their bone marrow was harvested.

Lastly, Bellamy. His transformation makes the least sense of all. He needs to stop being stupid to get back in my good graces! The writers have him acting as if he's become a mindless, helpless sheep, suddenly at the mercy of Pike.

I have to admit, I’m enjoying the COL / ALIE plotline. Why? Because it’s a welcome return to the mystery of the first and second seasons. I want to know more about ALIE, the COL, how the pills work and why. Oh, and don’t get me started on that hot red dress.

I’m eager for a return to the flavor of Season one and two. Hopefully the remaining episodes will right this ship.
