Yeah, but she was also in 8th grade. In 8th grade I might have heard of Law and Order but I definitely had never watched it, and I think I'm about the same age as Kimmy.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Hopefully next week we'll see the backlash.

I began watching the first season mostly cracking jokes at it, but Finn's death and the promise of more exploration of Grounder culture got me actually invested. Then the second season was just so consistently good. There were shocking moments and twists but even when the science and some plot points were iffy, the…

I can understand Lexa making this decision but what feels really unrealistic to me is the rest of the Grounders backing her up without even a single hint of dissent. Hopefully the second part fixes this.

A lot of people have been suggesting that Lexa's retreat was a fakeout, but your comment gave me a new idea about what could happen next week: Lexa's generals and the Grounder army are unhappy about the truce.
