Yeah, when she brushed aside concerns about backlash with "They're ALL my subjects!" you can tell that she's getting tired of having to play the political game, and just wants everyone to do what she says because she's the Commander, end of story.

With this episode, I'm starting to think it's less that Mount Weather made Bellamy go super-anti-Grounder, but rather that, for the first three episodes of the season, he was keeping his super-anti-Grounder feelings to himself out of respect for Kane and Octavia.

I wonder what it feels like to be the only person on set NOT constantly covered in dirt.

Now that Jaha's back, I want a scene where him and Bellamy are just standing around in awkward silence for a while, until Bellamy says, "I'm sorry I shot you." To which Jaha replies, "I'm sorry I killed your mother." Then they nod, and both go their separate ways.

My understanding was that Indra's radio isn't good for much beyond signaling that they want a meeting (in the season premiere, "three clicks" is apparently the sign that they need to get in touch).

The Grounder army that marched on Mount Weather last season (said to be the biggest they'd ever seen) had one thousand warriors. If 300 of their warriors are now dead, that's a pretty big chunk of their military gone.

I assumed the massacre wasn't shown simply because it would be a strain on the budget.

When something good happens to Raven, you know things are about to go bad fast.

I don't know about that. Jaha spent most of Season 1 in the hero role, and look where he is now. This show has proven it can have characters' roles within the story dramatically and permanently change.

I'm still waiting for a Clarke and Raven reunion. They haven't been in a scene together since episode 12 of last season.

I'm not sure if there was an actual, physical ballot. I assume the election was just getting everyone together in a big group and having people raise their hands when the person they want to be Chancellor is mentioned.

And the other characters aren't shy about bringing it up.

I am not a Bellarke shipper, I want to make that clear. That said, Clarke and Bellamy's scene is easily the most emotionally powerful of the season so far. Absolutely loved it.

Jasper: still drunk

Yeah, it does feel like the endgame for this show has either gotta be Clarke dying, or everyone BUT Clarke dying.

I'm expecting Lexa's downfall, but I'm actually thinking it might be Clarke's turn to betray Lexa, and join the other ambassadors in voting her out.

"Unity Day" leaves it up in the air who really started the all-out war between the Grounders and the 100. It's possible the Grounder archers hiding in the trees were there to assassinate Clarke. It's also possible they were only there to protect their leader in case she was attacked (a.k.a. the same thing Bellamy and

Thing is, Bellamy THINKS this was just as necessary as those other massacres, that what he did stopped the Grounders from attacking and slaughtering Arkadia. He's WRONG, of course, but he's still legitimately trying to do the right thing.

I love how good of memory this show has. Even something as minor as Miller being the one guarding Lincoln back in "Daytrip" (and being kind of a jerkwad about it) isn't forgotten.

Murphy was arrested for stealing "in the Commander's woods", so I'm guessing he's about to be brought before Lexa. So not that long of a subplot.
