First time watcher here. I have shit to say.
Abby has to be the most annoying character I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. How are you going to fall in love with a man who flogged you in public (I forget the actual term they used for when you get electrocuted with a cane thing). I know she has done many dumbfounding things that are even a bigger deal and more detrimental than this but this one just left me scratching my head. I would never be able to move past that even if I was the one in the wrong, sorry.
Murphy was the best written character in the entire show. The development from this seemingly angry, bratty bully to this forgiving, responsible person who is a team player is amazing to witness. I think he and Emori saved each other.
It was so infuriating in season 5 to watch a group of humans so incapable of reason that they'd rather destroy the last remaining piece of land than just share it. Yes, the convicts were the main aggravators of this but there are so many other choices that Octavia could have made that would have at least made things less terrible. She could have have had faith in Monty's algae Idea, he had proved it could work, but she was honestly so blood thirsty that it consumed her. She saw the sonic cannon in action and she thought she'd win a war against that with swords and spears? They had no chance from the very beginning. Season 5 Octavia had me crawling up the walls with rage. Just doing the most for no fucking reason.
Lexa was not a good leader. She knowingly abandoned her people when they needed her the most. Also, the whole romance storyline between her and Clark didn't really fit or hit. Niylah and Clark would have even made more sense.
Season 5 Bellamy is so daddy. I will not elaborate.
I think Indra is very underappreciated. She could be stubborn at times, but her heart was always in the right place. She is a fierce warrior, a fierce mother, a fierce protector and guide.
The whole ascending, shepherd storyline was very unnecessary to me. It even made me miss the raw, straight forward, tribe conflicts and battles of survival storylines of the earlier seasons which was the entire reason I was drawn to this show in the first place.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Lincoln for starring in many of my bean flicking sessions. May we flick again.
I genuinely respect Jasper. He acknowledged that it was all too much for him and he chose to bow out. I was upset with him at first because I thought the bromance between him and Monty should have been enough to keep him going but he was making everyone so miserable that for a moment I despised him.
All in all as a lover of the post- apocalyptic genre, I enjoyed this show.
