Not long until the episode is shown. I really do hope that the episode does not play the mountain men with the usual loaded dice, the MM being utterly stupid with everuone else being exceedingly clever. It's making for awful viewing when you know which side is going to win in every conflict and the show keeps pulling a Deus Ex Machina out of the bag in the most implausible way all of the time.

I am hoping that either this episode or the next evens the score and makes the final battle exciting and in the balance rather than a long line of false conflicts and "just in time's" up to the conclusion that I think many of us are expecting: Mountain man massacre, soul searching and crocodile tears by the sky people and whooping it up by the grounders bathed in blood with a bloodbath to shock people into wanting to watch S.3. I think that will just put a lot of people off when they know how conflicts will always turn out.

Bellamy needs to fail but escape. Some of the better MM and even some of the bad ones need to survive so that the show isnt a binary good versus evil with good always triumphing amidst a copious quantity of rationalising and making seem plausible their own barbarity as for the greater good ad nauseum, We need to see some new main characters and dispense with some of the older ones that have been around and getting away with it for so long that we just know they will win through in every given situation.
