It was not so near in the future… there were 13 space stations.

…And the best punishment too.
It was the only punishment! (unless you were under 18)

I don't even think of what Kane did as "repenting." It was more of an expansion of his worldview. He was always mortified by the people he killed "for the greater good." We can see it in the scene with the bonsai. But he always did it without hesitation because he firmly believed that there was no alternative. The big…

Has she always had those triceps, or are they preparing Eve for some heavy action scenes?

I think the key to not getting confused by Wayne's plan is to remember that Wayne is not a criminal mastermind. He's more of an idiot. Expect the plan to simple and, where it seems to get confusing it's just because the fool didn't think it think things through with any coherence.

bonding rites in medieval times were usually marriages.

I don't really know, but, as far as I understand it, the grounder commander puts his/her reincarnation as her second in command, once it's properly identified.

Abby: Kane you should be Chancellor
Kane: Not like this. We should have elections.
Abby: True; I'll be Chancellor for now.
Lexa: Will the Chancellor please step forward so we can brand him/her with this red-hot iron.
Abby: It should totally be you, Kane.

Of course they need a self-destruct system. That place was designed as a last bastion in an international all-out war with another nuclear superpower, not for a last bastion of post-apocalyptic humanity. If they found themselves surrounded by Russian troops, they wouldn't want to let the base fall in their hands.

Am I just paranoid, or did I get a horribly ominous feeling from the fact that the kid "was ready" and "better than [Lexa] was at that age". So, if that's supposed to be the next incarnation of the Commander already in "ready" status… does that mean that Lexa is not long for this world?

Unless he survived as a mutated, deranged reaper.

I think it's something like, if you're not an alcoholic, then there's no problem with drinking a cup during dinner.

Ollie probably didn't think that it was great atonement to tell the poor grieving sister that her brother had died as a murderer.

I wish I could avoid believing that the only goal of the scene was for the director to be able to look at his two young stars.

I thought the dream sequence inside the Ellcrys strongly suggested that Amberle would have to sacrifice herself to complete the mission, no?

We watched it in music class, I think it was in 4th grade. Although what little I understood of the plot, at the time, seemed supremely boring, Oh my goodness… Olivia Newton John's voice! I don't think I've ever heard a more melodious sound than that.

I don't know. I thought they had made a pretty real connection while escaping from Europe.

What was the point of wearing a wig, though? It's not like Juliette was a famous, recognizable visage. The only ones who could recognize her, identified her instantly on her first appearance and there was no indication that that wasn't intended to be so…

Considering they are both openly xenophobic against each other, I doubt it.

To me, the way he barely reacted while he cauterized his wound made him seem like he normally had to do that three times per week.
