I see two/three possible arguments. 1 - anything that established the blood relationship was left on the cutting room in the interests of time but you still end up with small scenes like the embrace, just presented without context. 2 - in the same way they revealed Lexa's sexuality as a passing comment, they might be…

I actually started wondering myself, with that embrace. It seemed like more than just Indra trying to reflect some gratitude that Lincoln had helped save her life by carrying her to the healer.

Double or Nothing - Ichabod is her Great-Great-Great-Grandfather?

Bless your heart, you think there's going to be a third season.

….Just had a thought.

I can't argue most of your points, as they're entirely valid. But credit to the show where due… in their own, ham-fisted way, they did establish that Katrina's powers/strength were diminished by her time in Purgatory, and had been increasing since her return.

She learned how to do it through the Grimoire of the Warlock from a few episodes ago - the one who was going to use the ability to go back and undo his accidental murder of the woman he loved. Henry gave her the book (recovered by Irving) early-ish in the episode when making the "we should help witches" pitch to her.

I find most people are far more comfortable with TV actors shows being cancelled in order to preserve their "artistic integrity" than the would-be-paycheckless actors are themselves.

Also, am I horribly confused by something or - if Katrina can now go into the past courtesy of Warlock Dude's Grimoire - couldn't she just change everything by now choosing to NOT abandon her son? It seems like they're saying that, unlike Abby who's physically transported her body into the past, it's more like…

Funny. A couple weeks ago I was arguing that the Hail Mary pass of attempting to revitalize the show would be sending Abby and Ichabod back into the Revolutionary period.

Given the last season & a half or so, they seem to be making a concerted effort to follow the comics more closely.

I find I'm often perplexed by the "grades" assigned by reviewers of AV Club. I don't know that I plucked out even a paragraph of this article that I think would align to what I would associate to a "B+" score. Then I'm just as likely to read a glowing review of another series with one skeptical comment that drags the…

I'm pretty sure you're both right re: structure of the Grounders. Lexa (or a predecessor Commander that she's believed to be the reincarnation of) united the twelve clans and is effectively the Commander of the confederation. Each clan probably has its own leader (Lexa's generals?) that runs its affairs on a regular…

I don't personally think the Grounders are always Matriarchal. The episode with the war council, the large majority of Lexa's generals were men.

Personal guess - Kane survives, Indra dies. Purely speculation.

I'm pretty sure the way it ended, the Ark kids have control/free reign of the specific level of Mt. Weather they're located on, but I didn't get the impression that they were able to get away to other levels of the base (which would have locked down with a containment breach like that).

I think he reacted and shot the one grabbing Monty? I'd have to watch again to check. Which, yeah, was bad decision making but not entirely unbelievable in a chaotic situation like that.

I actually hadn't thought much about Mt. Weather's population issues - I had just kind of assumed they were doing a Ark-esque population control policy (if everyone's an only child you don't really worry too much about webbed toes type of deal), but now that I think about it that makes no real sense because their…

Is Lexarke what people are going with? I was fond of Claxa.

I always got the impression that Abby was outvoted on sending kids to the ground. The council apparently did things by a simple majority, so once the decision was made she had to commit to it.
