Yeah, good idea. For one, it will allow the writers to flex their creatve muscles a but, developing these new places they explore, and any cultures they find along the way. (Seeking out new life, and new civilizations...Ground Trek) Second, it gives the characters more autonomy, like they had in Season One, before the Ark came down.

I never watched Buffy, other than the original movie when it got to the cable networks (1991? 92?), but I've seen pretty much the same storyline in other shows: main character decides the pressure is too much and decides to chuck it all and walk away, until events force him/her to step up and fall back into the role of protector/defender/leader/whatever. So, that is what I explect with Clarke in Season Three. She'll do a bit of walkabout, and eventually she'll either be forced back into the position of leading people, or she'll return home to Camp Jaha by choice, after having some cathartic revelation that everything she did, was done because it had to be done, and it had to be done by her, because nobody else could (or some such crap).
