Man, hated the banishment from Murphy. Hope he ends up getting some revenge later in the season.
I mean technically he did nothing wrong since there is no rules. I always seem to root for the bad
guy in these shows lol.

Can you blame him though? I mean, he comes from a society where literally every crime carries a death sentence and who imprisoned his sister for being a second child, I'd wait for something way more drastic then one or two stabbed teens and a failed lynching to invite the people who maintained that sort of society down.

He also blames himself for Wells getting stabbed, because it was his advice that led to the little girl killing him and subsequently killing herself.

His confidence might be shaken, but I think he still believes he's a more capable leader than the people in the ark. Granted, the help of the ark people wouldn't hurt, I'd think. At least, the ark would have advanced weapons to fend off from the monkey men.

I think his primary concern is the fact that he'll be unceremoniously executed for shooting the president the second the ark folks come to earth so its in his best interest to make them think the surface is inhospitable

I'm wondering if Bellamy actually did shoot the Chancellor. So far the only person who said it is extremely shady, Bellamy himself has been fairly vague about what he did.

I have trouble believing that Bellamy killed the Chancellor. He wasn't even part of the original 100. He was a space janitor, meaning that if he did anything wrong, he'd just immediately be floated. And he clearly didn't do anything wrong before 18 because that'd have put him on death row (and him becoming a space janitor negates that possibility).

Everything he's doing might just be a front to protect his sister and as an act of revenge against the ark, who floated his parents. Doesn't mean he killed anyone, in fact, he still hasn't hurt a single person.

Murphy would disagree. I get what you mean though. Other than letting his anger get the best of him with Murphy he hasn't been violent.
He couldn't even kill Adam when he begged him to do it because of the pain. He looked surprised that Clarke did it with such ease.

Question. When Adam was in the yellow fog, he called out for Bellamy. Do you guys think
Bellamy couldve saved him? I'm thinking not, but with how slow burning the fog is, it couldve
been possible.

I saw this time around that Paige Turco and Ian Cusick's chemistry has developed. They seemed way more comfortable with each other as actors than in the previous episodes.

It was a straight lift of the fog from Catching Fire, so not likely. It's shown in both to cause extreme debilitating pain on contact. Without a suit, there's no way you're He-Manning it through the mist.

The answer's pretty simple; they don't. Or they've developed mutations that protect them! Sci-fi! Remember this is sort of Fallout meets Hunger Games (who am I kidding, everything is [something] + Hunger Games these days).

I'd like to see a scene where the two headed deer is trying to escape the fog, but one head wants to go left and the other wants to go right.

In the end, it just stands there consumed by indecision.

Or a wacky sitcom with a 2 headed talking deer and neither head can ever agree on anything.

Well, maybe he'll kill himself knowing that he's directly responsible for the deaths of 300 people because he's a self-serving douche.

Unless the show decides it doesn't have enough balls for that in the next 5 minutes.

I wonder if the Ark even has a way to get everyone on board down to earth. Because I can't see them dragging out the space station stuff too much longer.

You would think they'd at least be trying to work on something like that for the past several months, instead of bickering like children over what portion of the population they should be killing off and plotting to execute what appears to be the only onboard doctor for what amounted to back talk. It's not like wiping out those people was going to let the rest of the population live for several more years or anything, it's like a few weeks or so at most, right? So when your only options are "take the population to earth, maybe die" and "stay on the rickety space station, definitely die" I don't really see where this is a difficult decision.

My guess will be that most / everyone on the space station will die by the end of the season (with the possible exception of a couple main characters / more kids making it to Earth to round out the ones they kill of this season), since they wouldn't dare drop the premise of "high school drama on post-apocalyptic Earth" for something more interesting.

So the grounders are human. Why the hell would they resort to using spears? You'd think there'd be plenty of weapons left over. I'm a bit disappointed that they aren't mutated chimpanzees though.

Wait, then how does Bellamy shoot the Chancellor? I sure as hell doubt they have a gun factory on the ark. But if they did, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think at least some gun manufacturers survived on Earth.
