However after winning Octavia decided to share the bunker, uniting the clans as one, a more stronger coalition. Indra even stated in the finale that the time of the flame and commander were gone, meaning anew age of leadership had begun. Also I believe if the grounders do look to Octavia as commander, it's because she saved their lives. All of them would be dead if it wasn't for Octavia, they owe Octavia a debt they will never be able to repay. This is exactly my point, the conclave was not to decide the leader but to decide the clan that got the bunker, so on what authority did octavia have to make such a proposition without consulting her leader? This is going off of your response. Why did Kane allow it to stand or better still why didn't the grounders say you're not the leader of skairu and we cant believe that statement, afterall, anya did the same when she refused clarke's proposition. Time for the commander is definitely not gone since Indra clearly gives Octavia Lexa's arm padding and the mark she wears on her forehead. If octavia was treated in a position of power because she won the conclave, then it would mean fio would have been treated the same in trikru if he won. And if yolu believe that Indra would have been in charge if Fio won (which I also believe), then why the hell is Kane not in charge?? Seems like a pretty stupid ex machina. it might have made sense if it was someone with actual leadership or rational skills was put in charge through an ex machina, but octavia?? really?? It just felt so cheap.
