With all the name dropping, it's seeming more and more likely

The actor who plays James is so attractive it's distracting me from the entire Scottish storyline

This is not to be critical of the show (I understand their choices), but it's hard for me to watch it when all the characters have grieved and moved forward but for me as a viewer Michael just died last week.

The show is trapped within certain storytelling constraints (they can't ever make it out of the southside or actually succeed, they can't ever permanently get Frank out of their lives) that is fine for 3-4 seasons and then ends up being frustratingly repetitive and unrealistic after that.

With Loras!

Will Loras ever get out of prison?

What I want to know is why didn't the "slam poetry" or "most claps in a minutes" entrants didn't take off like this https://twitter.com/AKStude…

Because letting things evolve naturally has worked so well for lack of representation in the past

I absolutely think it will happen at some point, the show will not be able to resist

The show seems to judge the massacre as just a bad thing Bellamy did along the lines Murphy and Clarke have done, whereas viewers (myself included) view it as so terrible the only answer is really something like exile/imprisonment/death. The show is just going to jaunt along and viewers will either have to accept it

I think the show believes it can redeem Bellamy and have Octavia forgive him. I think your narrative would be better and more fulfilling but I very much doubt the show is going to off its male lead.

He only lost them because he refused to compromise with Clarke and preferred to commit mass murder of her people, so still pretty black and white

Miller and his BF are now the safest people on the show

I wouldn't be surprised if the zombie concubine is somehow still alive, that was very vague

100% agreed. Unfortunately, I doubt the creators intended it or most people will take it that way but Murphy said no and Ontari threatened him into it. Just because Murphy smiled and cracked a joke about it doesn't change the facts.

I actually rather like Bellarke, their final scene in S2 is one of my favorites in the whole show. But that's not the point, the point is having a female bisexual protagonist whose overarching romance is a man is not groundbreaking in the way it would be if her overarching romance was with a woman.

I like Miller and Bryan but they have nowhere near the narrative importance of Clarke and Lexa. And having a bisexual lead protagonist is great but she's still overwhelmingly likely to end up with Bellamy in the end. None of this is to say The 100 is anti-LGBT or spiting its LGBT-fans but Clexa was groundbreaking in a

Yeah the conversation around this topic has fallen into predictable "JRoth is evil/fandom is too entitled" fault lines which I think makes it more difficult to get to the core of the problem. I don't think JRoth (or the Shameless writers) are a bad people or bad writers but I also understand why people are outraged

But if you pull back even further, Debnam-Carey's exit was because she started off recurring, because the Clexa romance wasn't baked into the original idea of the show the way the Bellarke romance is. LGBT romances constantly involve recurring characters because they're not the main romance of the show and that leads
