I agree. I think it would've been better and could've been used to breach some of the space in her relationship with Raven now. I also am just looking for an opportunity for Abby to apologize for hitting her, even though the show will likely never mention it again.

It was vile. I wasn't saying shooting, stabbing and draining of blood weren't vile? A lot of people do a lot of reprehensible things on this show. Context is also always important to consider.

This show's plot has a lot of holes and doesn't make a lot of (hardly any) sense. But there are definitely a lot of points of this review I disagree with. Michaela choosing to stay when Sam is screaming and yelling at Rebecca may not be smart or safe for her. But she's putting herself at some risk for another woman.…

Does the show need to explicitly tell us Rebecca's race? No. But the review specifically mentions race and refers to her as white.

Also, I don't know how the show is coding Rebecca's race, but from the first episode it was pretty clear to me that she wasn't white. The actress is mixed race and I feel uncomfortable erasing her identity.

I know the reviewer and a lot of people don't like or care about Rebecca, and I know you're supposed to believe Wes is in love with her to get to the point where he kills Sam, but even if he wasn't in love with her, murdering someone who is trying to murder someone else isn't that confusing. Even if he'd never met her…

I don't really know why, but I always read Abby as a surrogate mother-figure for Raven.

I don't know that I'd call someone's reaction to being slapped by an adult who has authority over you has "badass" or "awesome." While the moment altered my perception of Abby, it has to be about Raven for me. And it's just sad. It's sad because she may have been hit by a mother-figure before, and with her self-esteem…

Abby was absolutely angry and frustrated. But she didn't hesitate and she didn't apologize. And even if she had, what she did was vile and there are no excuses for hitting someone. It was gross and unforgivable. It doesn't make her the worst person ever, but I can still think what she did was disgusting and I can…

I know what happened with Finn this episode is a Big Deal and has a lot of repercussions and is going to be dealt with, but I saw it coming from basically 2.01. What really shocked me was Abby hitting Raven. That scene hurt. It made me angry. I'm still angry about it. Abby was a mother-figure to Raven, whose mother…

This show is very heavy-handed with it parallels, and I'm okay with that. And besides Jaha's storyline, which was exceptional, I was very interested in the Raven/Clarke parallels presented. Clarke was ready to kill Anya (who was also going to kill her, so fair enough), but then she saw Raven's beacon and stopped. She…

I absolutely loved it. Clarke is absolutely terrible and terrifying. She cares about herself and her people, and she doesn't not care about Anya or Anya's people at all. Anya was absolutely correct, and the funniest part is Clarke didn't seem to process it, because at the end of the episode she still suggests they go…

Yeah, it's definitely rushed either way. But I think that's what she's referring to.

I don't necessarily think she meant Lincoln taught her how to fight post-season one. I think it was referring to something like the scene in his cave when she comes in with the knife or whatever and they sort of spar before having sex.

Like a lot of people here, it actually really worked for me. Finn was an extreme pacifist in season one, but since then he's been faced with a lot of trauma in a short amount of time. The people he was with are basically all gone, he probably thinks Clarke is dead, he can't help Raven, and he was captured by a…

I thought the lashing rule was said to be in the exodus charter? I thought that meant the ark also had a separate set of rules prepared for when exodus was activated and they arrived on earth.

I'm sure I have other things to say about this episode, but I really missed Raven.

I really hope that's what they were doing. And the fact that his comment did stick out as extremely self-centered and terrible, I think the show meant it as such. Maybe a "we're not trying to redeem him, promise." Fingers crossed.

I did, too. It was nice to be genuinely surprised and horrified.

Lincoln and Octavia often feel like they're part of an entirely different show. Their scenes and stories never feel quite like they're connected to everything else that is going on. Last week, with everyone being separated, it didn't stand out as much, but I imagine it's not going to get much better for a few weeks.
