But they're SOOO much more interesting this way!

I have a hard time believing the argument that Mountain Men would renege on this deal. What would they have to gain from that? Their main objective has always been survival and the sole expressed motivation for their kidnapping of Grounders was so that they could heal themselves. Now that they have the means to live…

What makes this murky is that the audience doesn't know anything about the heads of other clans. We have no idea if they'd even care about betraying the Sky People.

But they don't have chemical weapons anymore; their means of synthesizing the acid fog was blown up by Bellamy. And without the generators in the dam to power the locks on the door, the Grounders can just pull that door open like they did in this episode. Also, by this point, the amount of trained soldiers in the…

The deal happened pretty quickly. If the reactions of Indra's party are anything to go by, most of the Grounder army is probably confused about what's going on and why they're retreating.

IMO, Lexa pretending to betray the alliance only to swoop in and save the day at the last moment would be a lazy resolution and an incredibly cheap way for the writers to puss out of a good story.

Was that "honorable battle" distinction ever established by the show or articulated by any of the characters? I honestly don't remember that happening, but I could have just missed it.

I was under the impression that Finn's death was exclusively about the 18 people he killed in that village, not about any of the stuff that happened before. Plus, I remember that in the 1st season Anya said that the Grounders attacked the 100 because some flares that they sent up burned down a village. So, in the…

We live in a world where real-life rappers have named themselves:

"Why on earth do these people have such ridiculous names…"

Thing is, we've already seen that the Grounders ARE willing to compromise on the whole "blood must have blood" thing as long as they're able to get something of sufficient value out of the deal. After all, the Sky People have killed hundreds of Grounders by this point. If
the Tree People really considered retribution…

"…they'll leave the mountain and conquer the Grounders territory."

In fairness, early on in this season the show did spend a fair amount of time telling us how Lexa was a new "visionary" kind of leader. Maybe this is an example of that?

I didn't see this twist coming, though in hindsight I'm kind of mad that I didn't.

Bruh, there's nothing intrinsically "black" about liking hip-hop or identifying with hip-hop culture.

I'm sorry, but if some girl stole my copy of The Predator then she's gained an enemy for life.

I don't really see how it's throwing us under the bus. Jamal and the filmmaker are black characters talking about the experience of being gay in a specifically "black" environment. It's no wonder that they can commiserate on the subject of their fathers. And it's not like casual homophobia in the black community isn't…

The most gratifying thing a woman ever told me about my penis was:

I don't know how chemicals work, but I just assumed that most of it got burned up in the chamber when it exploded.

It's good to see that the show is building up to what looks to be a pretty exciting climax. The passivisation scene was the most intense moment for me, which is weird because all it consisted of was Bellamy staring at a screen watching pH levels rise. I also really enjoyed Jaha's crazy eyes when looking over the hill…
