It did not occur to me Lucy could be setup for a longer plot, simply because the character is so minor she didn't even show up in the last month. I sure wish LaToya was right about that coming next season but seems like a long shot.

Right? I read the review "no way 'Hunger Games camp' can end well" and mentally filled in "for anyone but Diane."

+1 for teaching me a new word :) I'm not sure I was verklempt but that was a sweet moment. Aw, Pops.

There are whole lists of like 30 before-they-were-famous or right-at-the-peak-of-their-15-minutes guest stars :) Meester, Scott, and Agron are just scratching the surface!

Yeah, they are way fucking overthinking this. And at the same time being completely oblivious to long-standing human-cat interaction.

You honestly don't need to be open to this idea. Instead, just fucking pet your cat like normal, which does exactly what this insane device is trying to do, with the bonus of actual physical contact with your cat.

Aha, an excuse to take this way too seriously and state the obvious: Petting your animal IS mimicking this grooming behavior. Every furry pet owner has already been doing exactly this for centuries. What on earth did these idiots think their silicone pacifier was adding to the equation?

You have said everything I was trying not to say for fear of minimizing the validity of her fans :) However I have seen some notable exceptions to this "alienated teen girl" theory, for instance just a couple weeks ago the reviewer asking "how amazing is [actress can't remember name]?" And unless I'm confusing Husky…

Now this perspective I can understand. I will try to enjoy the character more through that lens :)

Does it really matter if it was stomach or back? It's not exactly a duel of honor, sucker-punching him with a sword haha.

I'm confused, what does Arrow have to do with it? (I don't watch Arrow.)

I've been trying to resist starting a fight but I'm just still not seeing annnyyyything to merit all this Octavia love. She never seemed like "pretty girl cliche", she always seemed like "spunky girl cliche who's trying way too hard to be badass", from the moment she landed. Has she ever been anything but angry and…

Me too for sure. Especially Jaha. It was actually a little funny, like 1000 heavy users all suddenly going into opioid withdrawal at the same time. Sure there's some emotional shit in there too, but the most immediate chorus of wails was probably physical.

I was surprised at the Ice Tribe king, but I kind of love it when shows mess with you like that. "You thought he had a key role here? Nope, just gettin himself shot! Sorry!" Did we see him dead or could he have survived though?

ROLFMOE

The Matrix parallels are impossible to ignore, but when it comes to the crowds of people chasing them down I was thinking more Inception :)

I was wondering about her down there. I mean I know all the recovering chipheads are in anguish from their pain returning but for god's sake someone must've found the time to let her down, right?

He specifically said she was on a cross.

It's not really clear when Jaha took the chip though right? If you look at his reaction in the mansion at the end of last season he's horrified at what ALIE got her hands on. When we see him again this season, he's already chipped, right? Now I'm not saying he was coerced into taking it, but he probably didn't quite…

Lexa might have ancestral memories of cities through the Flame. I'm more curious about all the other grounders' adjustment periods. I guess ALIE could just block their "pain"/discomfort/bewilderment with the new environs.
