Oh I'm just poking fun. Assuming they have Geiger Counters (which is reasonable), and knowing they have hazmat suits that protect them from the radiation, for Wallace's whole family to have died on the surface/from surface exposure would suggest his father took them out there without using either.

Of course… from reading your other comments it seems like you're viewing this more from the lens of a viewer with meta knowledge of the situation and the general confidence that comes from believing the protagonists don't lose.

Out of curiosity - how many of the Ark survivors do you think there are at Camp Jaha? Like an approximate number. It has to be less than 1,000 - from that area shot maybe we say 400?

Kind of unrelated to the discussion, but also kind of an interesting reversal of roles - last season (basically a month ago in the show's chronology) it was Clarke standing in front of her people telling them to pack everything and run for the hills*.

I don't really think the war is anyone's "fault," necessarily. The 100 set a Grounder village on fire shooting rockets trying to signal the Ark, which Anya said was, in their view, an act of war. Ignoring that it was entirely an accident.

….Yeah, this appears to be my version of "keeping it brief."

Oh, I do have some stray thoughts though. Will try to keep them concise, for a change.

In the first or second episode of the season he tells Clarke that he's been outside for 5 minutes when he was a kid, or something like that.

I have no clue where you're getting "zero remorse" from. Just because he's not ripping open his shirt to pound on his chest while crying in the rain doesn't mean Finn isn't struggling with the fallout of what he did and what it means to who he is.

I did wonder if Cage was going to do something to Wallace - leave him, shoot him, etc. Credit to the show that the characters are continually more nuanced than they'd appear at first glance, I s'pose.

Wonderfully said. I mentioned in a comment last week - a recurring theme of the show has really been the tendency of people in a group to be horrible to people in "other" groups. Even after their ancestors ripped the world apart over (one would presume) now meaningless differences, the people left fighting over the…

I'm kind of struggling with my own views of where this episode falls in terms of rating. Functionally it was fantastic - the storyline moved well, the characters did great work with their dialogue, the look of the characters and scenery were fantastic (seriously, what The 100 does to create an atmosphere on the CW,…

^——Yeah, what he said.

LucAs Is Everywhere!

Well, there was a lot of dispute between characters on the show about what the Diviner actually did - HYDRA believed it could be made into a weapon, Raina thought of it as an agent of change, etc.

Random thought - since Trip did destroy that crystal/mist/ritual thing before dying… is there a chance that Skye & Raina weren't given the full extent of what their abilities would have been? Like a half-complete download, for lack of a better way to put it?

I had/have two theories - when I was watching the show I was thinking it was a "don't touch anything alien with your bare skin" concept. Mac(k?) had touched things with his hand which seemed to be what activated the technology that drove him nuts.

I could also see a very heavy tie in on one of the ensemble movies like the next Avengers. Would be very interesting if they did an Agents of Shield cameo as a minor side-story inside that movie.. then did an episode(s) of the series built all around what gets the team to that side story.

How do you mean? Obviously the ensemble movies (Avengers) require you to have the background knowledge, but from what I've looked at of Phase 3 it still seems like they're primarily focused on standalone hero films/sequels.

I thought it was Lucas in the Santa suit with Alison. I guess it still COULD be…
