I never quite got why Octavia suddenly became the new commander? It made 0 sense. The final conclave was to determine which clan got the bunker, not to determine the leader (since it was against grounder tradition). Or are we supposed to believe that if Fio had won, he would have commanded Indra?? Cos that was never happening. Ever clan chose a champion to win them the bunker not rule them, so I felt it was completely ridiculous to have octavia make any sort of claim without consulting Kane, who was her leader or at the very least Clarke, who had been getting everything going.

It was like she just came from nowhere (literally), without having provided any help towards surviving, without having made a contribution towards surviving, without even having any allegiance to the sky people, something she has shown over and over again, and something she showed the very last time anyone saw her. But then she just becomes commander under skaikru's name? It was a complete farce, especially when you take into consideration her complete lack of leadership qualities.
