I’m midway through season 2, I have to admit I grew unto Finn through the early seasons, and then I just got tired. This Finn Fatigue as I like to call it began once Raven appeared. Watching him bounce between Clarke and Raven like indecisive prick made me lose faith in this character and a little bit in the show.

Now the worst case of Finn Fatigue occurred after his little 'mishaps' at the village. In the early season we were okay with Murphey almost being hung to death for murder. Now that seemed morally okay, maybe because “Hey, Murphey was a bit of a dick" What really ticked me off was the fact that an important fact was being forgotten. 17 innocent people were killed, kids included. It wasn't a mistake or letting his bad side get the best of him, frankly in surprised they even let Finn walk after they found him killing innocents. The fact that everybody seems to want to protect Finn confused me, I know they are trying to do the morally safe route, but this isn't earth as we know it, it's basically survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle. Finn killed 17 people, therefor he must pay, 1 death for the 17, if anything the survivors are lucky the grounders didn't as for the debt to be paid equally with 17 lives. You'd think the survivors would be thinking the utilitarian way, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few utilitarianism" After all they ARE trying to survive, they haven’t got the ground to start acting like the International Court of Justice. I was surprised that Abigail would even think about being defiant knowing well that if this ONE life isn't sacrificed hundreds more will die, for what? Morality?! I would understand the defiance if the grounders' claims for Finn were illegitimate but frankly they aren't. It comes across as if the only characters who have the 'Sky Peoples' best interest in mind are Thelonious and Marcus, the rest hold on to misplaced sentiment for Finn. So much that Raven slips Clarke a knife to kill the commander if they refuse to free Finn. It raises the question, is Finn the center of the universe? At what cost will they try and free Finn? Say, Clarke kills the commander? What good comes out of it? The grounders kill Clarke Finn then all the Sky People and the credits roll. I was angered to know that the grounders had been robbed from their form of closure by Clarke, the cultural imperialism irritates me the most all of a sudden the sky people are a righteous people, and did righteousness allow them to survive in space for so long? They come down from space, land in grounder territory and administer their laws as if superior to the grounders. What gives them the right?

Okay I'm ranting, but seriously I hate the fact they even thought about risking the lives of all the Sky People because Finn fucked up big time.
