I noticed on pike's page this interesting personality note, that I am not sure I agree with:


 * "irrational excessive hatred for grounders"

Quick comparison. Pike and his people ~190 survivors has crush landed in hostile Ice nation territory. On their last contact they heard that the dropship(or camp jaha?) was under attack by grounders, then they were under attack by grounders as well. Families with kids, had to fight to survive for three month on their own, by the time they encountered Arcadia patrol on their "joy ride" they buried two third of their number.

The Delinquents also had it rough, they crush landed in tree crew lands and had to survive for a month on their own. But they had a convenient grounder friend\sympathizer. Later two ark station conveniently landed close by, established a secure settlement with much needed resources. The grounder commander that came to destroy them, was convenient the most liberal revolutionary grounder who also fancied Clarke, Clarke conveniently escaped MW with the well kept secret about the reavers and mange to turn one back (all firsts). conveniently they had a common enemy that forced them all to work and die by each side and thus build trust. Then after MW they spend several month in "utopian" Arcadia.

Back to Pike who is reunited with his people, and meets his first non-hostile grounder. Like Clarke in S1 he regards grounders with suspension. He is assured that grounders are trust worthy, despite his misgiving he follow the trust worthy grounder into a trap, and then most of his "100" who trusted him and fought by his side (for much longer that the original 100) dies because he trusted a grounders word.

With that in mind, would anyone still call it irrational excessive hatred.
