If that was their goal, all they did was turn Kane into a terrible father, neglecting all his other children for his "favorite" (Bellamy) whose life is "worth more" than theirs (Harper and Miller and even Octavia).

This whole season seems like a huge, undeserved, congratulatory pat on the back. In memory of the love Bellamy once had for mythology (because this current version of Bellamy seems to be ignoring all his history lessons), like Icarus, JR flew too close to the sun and burned the whole show down. Javi G-M said it best: the writers were "naive enough – or arrogant enough – to believe that . . . our ability as writers would superate/redeem our use of the trope.” JR's hubris killed the plot.
