It was nice that Abbie finally got to do something this season. At times I wasn't certain that Paige Turco was still in this show.

As Thomas said, I assumed the cultural artifacts were there as part of a government program to preserve them. How they did that so quickly when ALIE's attack appears to have been totally unexpected is anyone's guess.

Ha, point taken on intra-agency communication. I get that Mt. Weather at the time of the start of the show was a pretty secretive place that wasn't really looking to bring in a lot of outsiders. I'll grant that they probably wanted to stay hidden and had the means to do it. IIRC they are the ones who crashed the…

Ha, yeah, Clarke needs to start thinking some of these stealthy moves through. First of all, she's not good at it, and second it tends to turn people against you when you fail. She hasn't been so great about contemplating the consequences of failure this season.

True, but it's actually one of the things I like about the show and the character. Octavia was trained in Grounder warfare (though for an implausibly short time). Bellamy is a big dude who was trained to be a member of the guards on the Ark and worked with Lincoln on the ground. Prior to her imprisonment Clarke seems…

The fact that the Polaris escape pod can communicate with the remains of the Ark in space does point to something which has bothered me for two seasons:

Yeah, the key thing to bear in mind with Ontari is that she was never meant to be an independent, fair-minded Commander. Lexa was trained to be Commander from a young age, not only by Titus abut also as Anya's second. There was a system, and she had a wise, respected mentor. Ontari was held in secret under the…

Last we saw them Bellamy was turning Pike over to the Grounder blockade, and Kane was volunteering to go to Polis with Pike and the Grounders. So Pike should have been turned over to the Commander before Jaha ever got to Polis. Maybe they were intercepted by Jaha and chipped, but as far as we know they are just…

I was laughing about the Kane and Pike thing. They left for Polis before Jaha did, and as far as we know they were actually closer to Polis than Jaha was when they started. Where are they?

For some reason only Bobbi has undertaken the super-secret spy language training that allows you to speak any and all languages fluently. Seems like an oversight.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I would like them to develop Gaeta/Sinclair a bit more. I did like that he quietly acquiesced to the fact that Clarke is in charge. No "I am the adult here!" BS. He may be Chief Engineer, but he's no Wanheda.

Fair enough, but it's not a symmetrical situation either in terms of information known or consequences. If she leaves on bad terms potential new firms will know about it, whereas potential new hires may or may not know anything about the firm's falling out with a single mid-level associate. Even if they do hear about…

Re: #3. I was curious, so I looked it up. It turns out that in Albuquerque the civil and criminal courts are in the same building. The juvenile courts are in a separate building.

Kim's problem is that it would be very difficult to find another comparable job in the industry without Howard Hamlin's support, or at least acquiescence. A relatively small state like New Mexico is going to have a limited universe of law firms that are looking to hire someone with Kim's experience and skills. The…

And they are right to be cautious! Getting a reputation for being sleazy ambulance chasers really would be bad for their business. Davis & Main and HHM appear to be two of the larger law practices in the state, and to both primarily focus on high-end clients. The Sandpiper case is not make-or-break for them, and it…

It seems like for Lip they just have a check list of sexual adventures they want him to get into. This hot-for-teacher thing has run its course, now let's have him move into a sorority house for improbable reasons. There doesn't seem to be any plan at all for where he's going as a character.

Lip's college experience is pretty much just a soft core porn movie at this point. Does he ever meet any beautiful women who don't immediately want to fuck him?

Yeah, Seagal triumphing in Die Hard On A Plane seemed like an entirely reasonable progression at that point in his career. It was a strange time.

And back then you could maintain that sort of thing as a surprise. Now that would be spoiled within 24 hours of release, if not prior to release. I remember watching that movie and being genuinely shocked when that happened.

There is also a practical reason why she can't hear about it. What he did is clearly a violation of legal ethics, and probably criminal. Kim has her own independent ethical obligation to report him for it once she finds out. So by telling her he is putting her in a bad position professionally.
