Thanks Gena for clearing up the poisoning thing, I was so confused! I guess we will find out in a future episode? This episode was so amazing and so sad! The 100 is an important show to me because it's the ONLY show that my husband and I watch together (don't have tv, just netflix) and the only one that we look forward to new episodes of every week. (Also- this is my first time on the forums, I can't believe I hadn't looked for it before as I've been watching since episode 1 and always want someone to talk to about it! I spend lots of time on westeros.org so I should have realized there'd be a 100 fandom community to join) I have such mixed feelings about Finn's death. When he went apeshit on the grounders I was so mad and disappointed in him and worried about the outcome because it's obvious that his character would never recover from that. Finn would never forgive himself and wasn't 100 percent sure if Clarke could either. I know if I was in her position I would feel really confused about it. I have to admit I was also mad that there were no reprocussions for his actions by the arkers, I thought at least he'd be on some kind of lock down or under observation because of severe PTSD. So I must admit that when the grounders wanted him in exchange for peace I wasn't surprised and didn't fully disagree with it. I did NOT think he deserved to be tortured or even killed, but did accept that with grounders that's unfortunately the reality. But that being said I also didn't fully believe that he would actually be killed, I thought there was going to be some way to save him, (although keeping with the plot it would be unrealistic) I think the way the story was going, especially after he killed he grounder he was interrogating and the massacre there was no way not to kill Finn and the way it was done was perfect. I've never been a huge Finn fan, I liked him but I'm more into Bellamy and clarke's hard ass realistic (ok Bellamy is not often rational or realistic) outlook on things, but I do think Finns lover-not-a-fighter attitude was essential for the show, and I will definitely miss him. I wonder how things will play out after this because his absence will definitely be noticed and Clarke and Raven are going to have it rough for a long time. And yes, Clarke and Finn only knew each other for a short time but let's remember that when your are fighting for your survival (I can only imagine) the relationships you forge would be deep and intense and it's proven that teens feel love and despair and every other emotion more intensely then adults do. I'm sad for Clarke but it had to happen that way, it's very true to her character, I hope she can recover eventually. Also, I just wanted to agree with the original poster, I think both Bellamy and Murphy have come a long way, I'm a believer in redemption and I know they've both acted horribly in the past but I think they want to be good people and Bellamy especially loves and wants to protect "his people". I think all the actors as well as their characters have come along way since the pilot. Except I must say I miss Anya, I love all the casting choices but neither Indra or Lexa really do much for me. I hope Indra gets killed off soon, (doubtful) she bugs the shit out of me for some reason. Oh and Cain's face when Abby told him Jaha was locked up for reason, priceless! Can't wait to see how it plays out with these three. I've really been enjoying the character development of Cain and Jaha this season, it's been interesting. One more thing- does anyone else find it funny that Octavia can kick the ass of any grounder? She had over taken one like 5 times now it cracks me up. Go girl! Haha Looking forward to Jan 22! -JV
