"skyzy, as someone who likes to see other peoples opinions of this show, i have nothing but rerspect for you for this site and your comments, and i understand what bothers you."

Truthfully, the only reason I am still watching this show is because of the time I've invested on this wikia and how much I enjoy reading other people's thoughts and opinions. I had hopes that maybe I was "watching it wrong," but there are too many problems with this season for that to be the case. It is so disappointing to see a show fall so fast. I had such high expectations and faith for this season so it stings even worse that this is what we've been given instead.

Roan: I think you might be right that he's probably not coming back this season. That's really disappointing because he was one of the few great characters in a season full of one-note, flat, and overdone caricatures of people we used to love. At least Octavia and Lincoln seem to have gotten some of their mojo back (they were wasted the first four episodes and it's not going to help matters when they kill Lincoln off).

Monty's dad: if it is addressed in future episodes, I will admit I was wrong and be fine with that. If they don't address it, it's just one more fail on the already too-long list of failures this season.

Bellamy/Clarke: I don't like it at all. There is something that heavily bothered me about that scene (and it wasn't just the handcuffs). It's the feeling I get when I feel threatened (i.e. walking alone to my car through a poorly lit parking lot). I have no desire to rewatch the episode or the scene to even figure it out right now, but I can't shake off this new. . . fear (I guess?) of Bellamy and who he has become. I've said in the past that even though I don't ship Bellarke, I can see why people ship it and I wouldn't be bothered if they decided to do a throwaway to Bellarkers at the end of the series. I've changed my opinion because after he helped massacre 300 people sent to protect them, he is irredeemable. Bellamy/Clarke is now akin to Cage/Clarke for me: NOTP.

I'll give you the Clarke argument as to why she's staying in Polis. That being said, she should still have no say over anything dealing with the Sky People because she can't have one foot in, "I want to be the leader" and the other foot in, "I just want to escape." As Octavia told her in BMHB2, that's not the way it works. She took it upon her to decide who lives and who dies; she needs to either be fully onboard or walk away entirely. What she's doing right now: wasting space and causing more problems because she is absolutely clueless as to what is going on.
