Excellent perspective. I'm not a Bellarke shipper but Bellamy was my third favorite character up until this season. S1-2 Bellamy is still my third favorite character. Bellamy S3 simply does not exist. He had his body invaded by someone/something else.

"Now, I understand the power and influence a dictator may have and how a totalitarianism system works. But there was no way that Bellamy Blake was falling for any of Pike's bullshit. Bellamy is smart; he would never make such ignorant decisions."

This is what frustrates me the most about Bellamy's S3 arc. I fell in love with Bellamy's character the very first episode precisely because he was anti-authoritarian. He continued that trend throughout S1 and S2, even telling Clarke he didn't take orders from her. And now suddenly, three months later, he's Pike's sheep? Not logical.
