yes to EVERYTHING abt what you said about poc storylines/poc in the 100 in general. but what really frustrates me is when people say the show is inherently racist. no, it isn't. the writing has racist elements, but it isn't racist.

yep, manifest destiny/white man's burden. ugh. that's what's always frustrated me about most of the arkers/the 100 in the beginning - the fact that they acted like the land was, by "birthright," theirs to take. i can see why they've developed that mentality but still: no, thank you. if you're going to be talking in terms of who has the "right to retake land," even the mountain men had more of a right than the arkers. the entire thing reeked of colonialism. *shudders*

ugh, arkadia. just give me a break. i feel like season 3 is going to be really good in some aspects and kind of terrible in other aspects. we'll just have to wait and see.

this has no precursor or whatever but i don't trust titus at all. definitely not around clarke & especially because lexa's in the picture.
