Colonel Diyoza owns a lot. Those sonic mining tools / weapons also own a lot :hellyeah:

The part where Octavia corrects Bellamy's survivor count and she just gives this cheerful, "Copy that," is great. Love the character.

I'm going for this... end season with 300 going to Eligius 3 and becoming skycru 3.0. New canadian forest set, twin suns cgi... rinse repeat death toll.

Eligius 4! :eng101:

Yea I agree that 300 people are totally going into cryosleep for X years while the rest will stay on the ground.

If you want more Diyoza she's great in Banshee. Probably one of the most brutal shows out there.

With the "we honour death" stuff I was thinking "what happens when the one who commands death returns?" The inevitable conflict between Wanheda and Bludrainna is what I'm looking forward to more than anything. The seeds have already been sown with Clarke undermining Octavia by helping Abby and Kane.

I was hoping to see at least one more episode in the bunker before they get rescued, just to see what life was like.

I still think raven and Murphy acted really dumb though. I could see why raven would back out of killing everyone but it’s not like Murphy has ever cared. Sure 6 years could change a lot of things but they made it a point to show that he’s still an rear end in a top hat and an outcast. I’m more upset that they didn’t radio Bellamy to tell them they’re trying to hack in.

But anyway this is a really good show.

i really want octavia to either feed clarke her own face or step down gracefully once some sort of modus vivendi is reached with gagarinkru, but i've got a terrible feeling this ends with clarke or bellamy (or both) having to kill her

probably soon after octavia kills echo

Yeah, but if the prison crew wants exclusivity on that valley, how is that supposed to work on the longrun? Diyoza as Eve to lots and lots of Adams?

diyoza's not the only woman in gagarinkru, at least one of the skinheads in the prisoner files Raven and Murphy paged through was female

their population's probably a lot more slanted gender-wise than wonkru though

What happens when they radio Bellamy? It would be a bloodbath and Clarke along with everyone else would die.

Murphy should've suggested that Raven radio Clarke for tips on committing genocide when she was wavering on killing the prisoners.

Tell Bellamy you just killed 25 of their men, and every subsequent hacking attempt will compound? They still 100% have leverage if prisoncru really cares about their serial killer homies up there :shrug:

But that wasn't how the scene played out at all. She told Murphy not to call down to Bellamy because she knew it would lead to the possibility that the she or Murphy would have to kill some prisoners.

I'm genuinely surprised that Murphy didn't take matters into his own hands. Maybe he's changed more than I thought.

it just occurred to me that even with the losses of the Dark Year (which I assume to be the first year after they exceeded the 5-year span the bunker was supposed to carry them through), Octavia's insistence that every component clan of Wonkru send 100 into the vault still saved roughly double the ~400 people Jaha was willing to save by sealing up Skaikru alone down there

Bloodreina saved more lives through the Final Conclave and the blood pit than Wanheda took at Mt. Weather

Aww I loved the initial heartfelt moment that Bel and Octavia had upon being reunited, immediately followed by Bel's expression turning to confusion and disgust as he looks around the blood-drenched arena.

That seems more likely considering that there doesn't appear to be the usual sort of bad blood or backbiting in the tweets you'd expect from people suddenly getting the floor dropped from under them.

You're not going to burn bridges over Twitter, if you want to keep getting employed. That said, if there's lots of writers doing a friendly Farewell on the same day they're announcing the start of season 6 writing, it kinda sounds like a gently caress-you.
