Talk:Octavia and Lincoln/@comment-26033434-20150206110934/@comment-25228848-20150722214724

Ok first of all good for you for stating your opinion, but personally I think Lincoln is so much better for Octavia, here's why.

For one he didn't get speared trying to impress her, he swung across first trying to impress her. He just ended up getting speared, like Finn would've if he hadn't given over to Jasper. It is because she didn't see it the same way, because he didn't jump in front of her or anything, he was just the first across. Lincoln however jumped in front of an arrow for Octavia in Unity Day.

She kissed him as a reward, we don't know for sure that she knew he liked her, not properly. She never gave Jasper false hope, she just treated him the same as Monty, as friends.

Jasper hasn't loved Octavia from the start, he was attracted to her, but that is different to love. Again, she was the first off the dropship, the first person Lincoln saw, it makes sense that the drawing would've been of her. There was only one, so it's not like he was massively obsessed with her. She didn't think he was creepy when she found out because, one, he was being tortured by her brother, two, he had saved her life and three there was only one drawing. Physical attraction may have been apart of it but so are all of those reasons I stated before.

I doubt she would've peppersprayed him, it may have made things weird since they were living in close quarters and they were already friends, and there wasn't any pepperspray down there so she couldn't even if she wanted too.

Just because he has had a bad time doesn't mean he has a right to Octavia, and since when did Octavia cheat on him? They were never together and Japser was well aware of that.

As for getting over his love for her, if you have watched season 2 then you will see that he is in a relationship, of some kind with Maya Vie.

Again, if you're caught up with season 2 you would see Jaspar is mourning Maya and if Lincoln died then Octavia would be way too busy mourning him. After losing him once to the Reapers and her break down then, I'd ahte to see what would happen if she lost him again, it would probably destroy her.

Also what is "Death Promised"? There has never been an episode with that name.
