User blog comment:AckermanTheGod/Another 300 for Bellamy to Kill/@comment-16845200-20160213035543

pike = donald trump of the 100 and i think that says it all.

"I am seriously disappointed about how quickly he has changed his views"

i'm not trying to justify bellamy's actions at all, coz it looks like he's definitely going to go through with pike on killing the grounders, but i think it's important to remember that pike caught bellamy in a vulnerable moment - the death of gina, which is shown he blames himself for - and then tapped into that anger/sadness. that's part of the reason how bellamy made the decision he did. (though ultimately, bellamy still made the decision to follow pike. being influenced by pike doesn't absolve him of anything.) but just something to keep in mind.

"He enjoys reading about all that Greek mythology, maybe he started reading something else."

greek mythology has strong influences on this show, you're right; most of all on bellamy. i dont think the number of ppl killed has to do with anything but the fact that they are being slaughtered does hold meaning, especially when you look at achilles in the iliad - coincidentally, the book gina gave him in 3x01. there are some parallels between the two of them, i think; when achilles' best friend patroclus was killed, he basically went on a rampage against the trojans and basically treated them like sh*t. bellamy obviously doesn't go to that length, but clearly gina's death at the hands of the ice nation/grounders had a huge impact on his psyche and he feels personally responsible. bellamy going with pike against the grounders is achilles' trojans. the trojans achilles slaughtered did nothing more than be on the wrong side. same with the trikru, even though they were sent to protect arkadia. the two situations are obviously not totally similar, but parallels can be drawn.
