Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-26247132-20160223183610

A lot of these questions are popping up on the episode pages and the discussion pages so I thought I might create a master post to collect them. These are not for questions that have yet to be answered but for questions whose answers seem to have been swept under the rug or forgotten and dropped.

Here are some of the gaping plot hole questions I've seen. Please add your own.
 * Why didn't Roan take Clarke to Nia to help her overthrow Lexa? He even tells Clarke when he gives her the knife that she's only heard Lexa's side of things. If Nia had Clarke, she could overthrow Lexa and take over the Coalition and unbanish Roan.
 * Without using social media to find the answer, was Roan banished from Azgeda or from Trikru? And why? How? What?
 * Who the hell is Gina and where did she come from?
 * And how long had her and Bellamy been dating anyway? A couple of weeks, all three months? What was their relationship like? What was her favorite color? If she's so important to the plot then make me care about her! (Otherwise, she's just a lazily-written plot device who got fridged.)
 * Did Monty's dad really die the way they told him? If so, why were Hannah and Pike acting so suspicious about it?
 * If this show isn't about romance, then why did Lexa need Clarke to change her bandage when her injury looked fine and she probably has an entire coterie of people to do that for her? And why was she in her nightgown?
 * And I still don't understand Clarke and Lexa bowing to each other and have no interest in reading a 5-paragraph essay on it. I should not have to read fan-written essays to understand what is going on in a show.
 * WTF was that election supposed to represent? It made absolutely NO sense.
 * Why is Abby so incompetent? (I'm just going to copy/paste what I put in my review last week since that still stands.)
 * Constantly badgers Raven in an unhealthy way while ignoring Jasper who has more critical issues occurring
 * Released Jasper from Medical after he almost started a war
 * Forcibly brought Jasper back to the place of his trauma to "face his feelings"
 * Moved half of Farm Station into Mount Weather after having been warned numerous times that it was threatening their truce and tried to excuse the move as part of "saving Nyko's life"
 * Held an election less than a day after joining the Coalition
 * Gave said election to a man who broke the law moments earlier by arming ten people with guns to go massacre those same people she just joined a coalition with
 * Did not radio Indra ahead of time to warn her Pike was coming
 * When Octavia wanted to break the rules, told Octavia, "That's not the way we do things." Since when?!? Kane had to freaking shock-lash your insolent ass and now you've decided to follow the rules??
 * Why would Indra so willingly help Clarke radio Kane after her army was slaughtered by the Sky People?
 * How come we never got to see Raven grieve for BFF Gina (and who is Gina again)?
 * Bellamy disowned his sister? And Clarke? All because a plot device died?
 * Why did Bellamy argue against executing Delano if he's "always wanted" all Grounders to die?
 * And why did he also not kill Anya or the Ice Nation scout when he had the opportunities?
 * Again, I have no interest in reading a 5-paragraph essay on it. I should not have to read fan-written essays to understand what is going on in a show.
 * Why did Lincoln refuse to leave Arkadia once the kill order was lifted when he's been wanting to run away since IABD? Especially considering he knows how badly Octavia wants to leave? (And it's not because of that BS peace excuse. He attempted peace with Anya and Clarke and was still wise enough to want to leave when that didn't work.)
 * Why was Clarke made ambassador?
 * Why did Lexa so readily agree to letting the Sky People off the hook while she's camped out above her 300 dead warriors?
 * And considering the smell, why did she decide to set up camp there of all places?
 * Does that tent seriously get set up wherever she stops for the night, complete with the ostentatious decorations?
 * Did she not remember that just two days prior she was fighting Roan to the death to keep command because the entire Coaltion (except for Clarke) gave a vote of "no confidence" in her ability to lead???
 * And I still I have no interest in reading a 5-paragraph essay on it. I should not have to read fan-written essays to understand what is going on in a show.
