Probably.

Also, why haven't the Grounders just killed all the kids already? They could've just attacked the camp early on and wiped them out early on.

Some stupid reason. I bet they need them to repopulate their numbers or something.


Oh Jesus, that's going to be it isn't it?

The one that blew up in orbit? Kind of doubt it. Pretty sure they really are the ground based survivors.

When they mentioned the 13th station I had a feeling something was going to be up with that, so that wouldn't be surprising. Unless it's a fakeout to make you think it's ripping off Hunger Games.

I can't believe that Cylon bitch ripped her ship off of the Ark without even bothering to decouple it, knowing that would doom everyone on the Ark to death. Like...what? If they survive that horrible crash (doubtful but who knows, this is TV) how would her followers believe her altruistic lies anymore?

I'm going to guess that the rest of the Ark is forced to hurry up into the rest of the exodus ships and hope for the best, but maybe they're all dead. :(

Bringing Twitchy goggle guy along on a mission as back up was probably Bellamy's worst idea yet.

Especially when that guy had been getting drunk all day off of the moonshine he made.

The grounders should have been scouting their camp and attacked during the drunk festivities. I'm curious as to what the grounders' population is.

Yeah, Diane was all "well, Jaha lied and you only have enough dropships for less than half the people on the Ark" so she decides to peace out and possibly murder everyone else.

I'm surprised anyone trusts anyone in charge anymore, though Jaha would still be the lesser evil after this. I mean, the crazy bitch decided to just take out the station after blowing a half a dozen people up just earlier.

Guess Bellamy couldn't bring his right-hand man, which is dumb because everyone else back at the ship is buttfuck drunk and too high to care.

The best part was that the dropship wasn't even full. They said that only 50% of their people were on. Even assuming that 100% of their people would fill up the ship, that is still hosed up. I hope the crew murdered her before they exploded into a fiery ball but everyone will probably be fine.

I keep watching this show despite the drama points being so painfully avoidable if all of the characters weren't the dumbest people on (or off I guess) earth. Literally every conflict point shouldn't even be a thing.

The worst offender is the counsel lady that just hosed the ENTIRE ARK UP because they were lying to people? First, if that's her beef; she knew/was well aware of anything and everything that was going on and could have told the population about it and staged an actual coup. But instead she tries to have Jaha (who at least seems like a fairly decent dude that's made some bad decisions in difficult situations), then blows up a unity celebration killing 6 people (including some kids), then plans to take a dropship (that she knows they don't have nearly enough of) with her people to earth to escape? And she's totally fine with crippling the ark and essentially killing everyone up there? I don't get her motivations at all.

Clearly the best thing to do when trying to negotiate peace is to secretly bring back up that's been itching to use those guns you found. I actually thought it would be smart to bring backup, but everyone on your side needs to be in on it so it doesn't go completely sideways like it did..

Everyone on this show is so self absorbed and dumb. Even the 2 kids that wanted peace with the grounders are messed up. Finn thinks they should never use guns ever when they've been getting speared left and right and Octavia is boning the dude that kidnapped her.

I enjoy the premise enough that I'll keep casually watching on Hulu, but I'm hoping the characters stop being so frustratingly stupid.

Yes, because at 18 their crimes would be re-evaluated and they would be released or floated.

I am sad only 14 terrible children died from the plague(and one got suffocated). Go grounders!

I loved the plot device pink nitroglycerin. Unstable and explosive in the first scene, then perfectly fine while Raven stumbles and falls around in the woods.

it was. the rocket fuel proved it.

it makes me kinda perversely happy that they just detonated the whole exodus ship.

I love that this show isn't afraid to drop bodies. keeps it from being predictable and trite.

Also, at the rate this is going they'll have to rename it "The 10" by the end of the season

I still think they're going for some kind of fake out because otherwise crashing the Exodus ship and killing everyone onboard is just a super abrupt ending to a bunch of story arcs.

"People on the ark are as equally stupid as their own children down on the ground."

Would be ballsy as gently caress if they just up and said, "yep, Abby, Diane and all the traitors just died in a fiery explosion while literally loving over everyone else" and left it at that. I doubt it though but there really were bodies, I think they even established with the leaking rocket fuel that even if they just smashed into the ground, they would've been cooked alive (and they were).

They're near DC. When they were paging through his notebook with his drawings there was one of the Lincoln Memorial, so I just figured he was named after that. Better than Ford Lincoln Mercury from the Postman at least.
