Okay, firstly I really liked Raven & Lindsay's acting this episode. The flashbacks with Finn & Raven were one of the most legit flashbacks I have seen the cw done (I mean, they really looked like 17 & 18 year old kids. They look younger, more.. innocent). I secondly liked her in the dropship. All caring about Clarke, someone who some people say is her rival and they don't get along. There's a friendship between them, as small as it might be. Another aspect of the dropship was Raven & Murphy. Payback for what Murphy did in WAG2? Yes, surely think so. I saw that coming, and I actually had a similar logic to Raven's ; Why not just shove Murphy forward. But then I quickly realised that wouldn't bring anything, so...). Lastly was her cries at the end of the episode. She saw Finn die. She watched it, from behind a fence and she couldn't do anything to stop it. Good lord, I'd go insane if I were her. Good thing Bellamy was there for her, I'm pretty sure that'll be for a few more episodes (at least I hope so, Raven needs friends right now).

So does Clarke. Seriously, that girl is the strongest person I know, even though she's fictional (you can deny that, it's okay :p). I liked her with Murphy, and I liked her with Lincoln and Octavia. I liked her in the dropship, and I liked her in Camp Jaha. And I loved her over at the grounders. She showed just how much she loved him. That moment, that was what love is all about. Caring enough about someone, to do such a thing, calls for a deep connection. Clarke loves Finn. Finn loves Clarke.

Thirdly, I'd like to mention the adults. I really like Abby, the way she tried untill the very end to safe Finn. Very nice. I don't so much like her with Kane and Jaha. Although if I were here i'd probably do the same. I just wished Abby saw how shell shocked Jaha is, and I wished she'd see him as a friend who is hurt, and not an enemy. I did love Abby/Clarke. This one shot that showed Abby, Bellamy and Clarke - I'm calling it the leader shot - just showed the strenght of these individuals. Abby is wise, yet also naive at some points. She sometimes thinks she can fix everything by talking. Bellamy is brave, and he has grown to care for people (I'll just drop the names Mel & Lincoln here). Clarke has a reasonable mind. She knows what needs to be done, and she gets it done. She is also very empathic, but that exactly is her strenght.

Overall this was an amazing episode. Only thing I missed was a short 1-minute clip from Mount Weather. But then again they jammed so much in this episode already, I'm glad we'll be seeing more of MW in part 2 of the season...
