Right? It's not like the show's trying to make him over into a champion of justice or anything, just showing that he has some human motivations. Motivations that are completely consistent with how he's been portrayed thus far, I'd add.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they fill that gap in the climactic episode of the season. Though I guess it's something that won't seem that weird if they leave it blank either.

He might have had some alternate treatment only available back at home base, though. Maybe something that leaves his independence a little more intact so he's a better tool or something. Regardless, I have the definite impression that Jaha's doing what he'd do even if he wasn't chipped. And the show hints at that by…

I don't think it's baffling, I just don't think Bellamy is very bright. Never has been.

I do think the pointless slaughter of the grounder army is a step beyond what most characters on this show have done (subject to a caveat about Lexa, below). And I'm personally hoping that Bellamy sacrifices himself to save a bunch of grounder lives, I think that would be a good resolution. The show might just sneak…

I agree completely with your first point. I didn't think the Pike stuff was out of place - I think I would've preferred it earlier, but we always knew that something had snapped in him, we just didn't know precisely what, when, or why. I can see the storytelling logic in holding off on that stuff until he's out of the…

Sad ending to the story: he's 93 years old now and has spent his life tortured by guilt. It wasn't even that bad!

I'm 32 and I feel you. For me realizing that it didn't need to be all or nothing was a game changer. I'd cycle through month-long stretches of doing more or less what I thought I "should" and then burning out and stopping entirely for half a year.

The thing I took away from working hard at being pretty fit for a short period of my life is how comparatively easy it is to be just a little bit in shape. Like, I don't have the patience or the time to work out a couple hours a day (unless I can cycle my commute or something), and I'm not happy eating the way you…

I've got a buddy about that height and relatively slender (until you get close, at least, and realize his arms are still as big around as your head) who's still not far off 300, so yeah.

The one I read was actually kind of an advertisement piece on the company's website (it went on to talk about what they could do for you without totally upending your quality of life), but I'm sure it was the same idea. Basically, yes, while looking like this is theoretically possible for some people, it's not worth…

Google has him at closer to 400, which seems more likely to me.

It reminds me of a pretty fun article I read a while ago (that I suppose I could dig back up but who has the time) from a team of personal trainers answering once and for all the question, that they apparently still get all the time, of "can you make me look like Brad Pitt in Fight Club?"

Honestly it kinda mirrors my experience - through the back half of this season I kept thinking the show had peaked and it kept exceeding my expectations.

Young man hates song about being a middle-aged man.

Fair enough. I'd like to think that it'd just be a background detail for most people, but obviously I don't really know. Attraction is such a weird alchemy though, right? And with a fictional character on a show our experience of them is completely dictated by the script and the camera, which are going to emphasize or…

Emori has a deformed hand. But I'm a little startled that anyone would think it affects her attractiveness much.

Really more heartbroken by that than I would've expected. He was a survivor from all the way back to the pilot too, which is always sad.

I was a little confused by all this too. Because the answer is, "objectification" (or as my partner said as she glanced over at my screen and saw the headline: "because they don't sell faces"), just like we've been complaining about since at least the early 70s. But movie posters seem like a pretty small weird corner…

You don't feel the need to be hectored on these topics, maybe, because your demographic is well-served by entertainment as it exists (being, I presume, a white American dude). But maybe it's not about you? Maybe questions about representation and stereotypes are of pressing concern to many people, and at least of…
