In the sixth episode of the third season of\u00c2\u00a0The 100<\/i>, Clarke considers vengeance while Jaha finds help from Raven and Jackson. Intrigued? Then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for Mark to watch\u00c2\u00a0The 100<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Oh gods, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some interesting stuff here, LET\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S CHAT.<\/p>\n
Clarke<\/b><\/p>\n
I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t surprised by Clarke\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s choice in the end, and I highly suspected that in order to prove that her suggestion for peace applied to her own vengeance, she would relinquish her right to kill Emerson. (WHO I HAVE LAUGHABLY THOUGHT WAS CAGE WALLACE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.) It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a natural story turn for this season, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one of those things that demonstrates Clarke\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability as a leader. When she can, she compromises in order to make things better. She recognizes when her wn desires won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help others.<\/p>\n
So I found myself more fascinated and entertained by her interactions with Lexa and with Titus. These kind of interpersonal relationships remind me of why I like\u00c2\u00a0The 100<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0so much. While Lexa is still keeping her distance from Clarke (romantically, that is), I got the sense that she\u00c2\u00a0might<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0be reconsidering that. Unfortunately, that could very well be me reading too far into this because SURPRISE, THIS IS WHAT I DO. But Lexa respects Clarke a great deal more than she might let on.<\/p>\n
Except Titus can see right through it, and good lord, he does\u00c2\u00a0not<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0like Clarke. I understood that he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want Lexa hurt by one of the other clans who rejected her proposal of peace. But he seems a million times more upset than everyone else, doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t he? Culturally, I suppose it makes a lot of sense. What Lexa is doing is completely against what these people have followed for generations. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a culture shock to suddenly deny it everyone, you know? But I worry about him. Is he going to keep supporting Lexa or not? What if he leads a coup or something???<\/p>\n
The Village<\/b><\/p>\n
So, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to sound like a broken record. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get it out of my system: nothing is changing in the Pike\/Bellamy plotline, and I honestly cannot see how this can end well at\u00c2\u00a0all<\/i>. Now, though, the show has added Monty to the group with no explanation either. Is he there because of his mother? He seemed endlessly uncomfortable in every shot he was in, and aside from a few short lines, he just goes along with everything. Look, I have issues with Bellamy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s storyline, but at least there is\u00c2\u00a0some\u00c2\u00a0<\/i>attempt to explain his position. Monty, however, is just thrown into this, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s particularly infuriating because the show can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to give him his own storyline.<\/p>\n
The whole decision to go after that village to take their land is foolish beyond measure, made only worse by the fact that Octavia was the only one sensible enough to just\u00c2\u00a0compel<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0them to leave, instead of fighting him. Yet even in this, Pike finds fault. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so hellbent on violence that he can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see Octavia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actions as another option that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d not considered. Instead, he sees her as a traitor, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s now focused on Kane (I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m guessing) as the mole passing information outside the group. PIKE, WILL SOMEONE STOP YOU. PLEASE.<\/p>\n
Alie<\/b><\/p>\n
FINALLY. FINALLY SOME STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS. AND FINALLY A STORYLINE THAT I AM SUPER INTO AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MORE OF. Y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all: silicon chips that block shit in the brain so that a person\u00c2\u00a0literally cannot feel pain<\/i>. (I missed the actual term. Inhibitors? Something like that.) So, Raven has\u00c2\u00a0not<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0been magically healed. She simply can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel the pain of it anymore. Which\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 pain is there for a reason? What if she hurts herself in some other way and\u00c2\u00a0doesn<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that she is hurt<\/i>?<\/p>\n
Nevermind, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a hypothetical situation. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00c2\u00a0not<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0a theory is the fact that Jaha, for a brief moment,\u00c2\u00a0forgot his own son<\/i>. I believe that means that emotional pain is blocked in much the same way, even if it means blocking a specific memory. THAT SEEMS REALLY BAD, Y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ALL. And the show certainly portrays it that way, too, by having Abby refuse Jaha the right to pass out more of the City of Light chips out before she can figure out what they are.<\/p>\n
I was satisfied, y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all. If this plot had ended after that point, I still would have spoken positively of this plot. YET THE SHOW KEEPS GOING. Alie is searching for the 2.0 version of her software, the fix that her creator made in response to Alie BLOWING UP THE WORLD. On the surface, that seems like a good thing, but we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually know what this software will do or why Alie wants it. What if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the salvation these people seek? What if Alie has an ulterior motive?<\/p>\n
BUT OH MY GOD. THE THIRTEENTH STATION. NAMED POLARIS. WHICH IS WHERE POLIS CAME FROM. Oh shit,\u00c2\u00a0what do the Grounders know about Alie???\u00c2\u00a0<\/i>They recognized the logo on the chip Murphy had. WHY? WHY IS IT SO OFFENSIVE TO THEM???<\/p>\n
Ah, that was pretty good. TIME FOR MORE.<\/p>\n
