Hahaha, I hear you and I think a lot of tweenish stations do this with one of their female leads. I have no idea why I gravitate towards them either. But I love the Mary Sue and the Bad Girl which I suppose they were going to initially set Octavia up as when we watched the pilot.

Seriously, she might grow in a season or two and no longer give off those green around the edges vibe to Americans.

I get you on the Princess side, but maybe it's because of all my romance books that I don't mind that... yet. I know Bellamy is the only/main one to call her that.

Next week looks really creepy.

Oh, what do you think about Lincoln & Octavia?

The two actors have chemistry but Lincoln and Octavia were entirely too rushed. These writers don't know how to write couples. They just rush people into lengthy sex scenes. Which btw when did Clarke and Octavia have time to become so experienced? During confinement on The Ark?

This show needs to forgo romantic pairings right now anyway. There's so much more important factors currently.

I love you. I actually agree and others do as well. I think since Octavia had to live her life in secret for so long that she kind of longs for that connection with someone... firdt Jasper, then Atom, and now Lincoln.

I sometimes sing, Little Red Corvette during her scenes.

LOL, books? They must have one hell of a jail library.

This weeks episode really lacked The Ark.

I'm also more interested in them developing the Grounders culture and hearing how they survived for so long. Instead of this war that's getting lame already.

Clarke Griffin= Elena Gilbert

Also this Finn loves Clarke crap is bs. They haven't even been on the ground for 30 days yet and when they has sex it had only been 10 days. He's in lust and their so called deep connection is non existent.

LOL, it was like 30 mins. in and I was like No Ark? Just when things were starting to get interesting. I guess they want people to live in suspense until they go back what with Clarke thinking her mom was a apart of the drop ship that crashed and all that jazz.

LOL, well she can't handle that either but Raven needs to be Finnless, i can't deal with this triangle BS at all. I love Bellarke overall but I know they'll do Finn & Clarke at some point in time, I just know it and I'll weep a bit. But I am LMAO at people's reaction to Dichen's character telling Clarke if the girl dies, then Finn dies and people are all... Where do I sign?

All this Clarke the new healer crap bored me. I'm tired of her being the only medic. Was there no one else among the 100 delinquents from a privileged background?

Ugh and then Raven banging Bellamy. The same Bellamy who left her for dead when her pod crashed. The same Bellamy who threatened to kill her and actually tried to choke her out.

I was glad The Ark returned this week but there wasn't enough shown.

I get it... I do -- because she's helped people before and she she the only one with medical experience... however limited it might be. So, was Lincoln their healer? Because remember he kept saying that he was leaving and then Anya said "Our healer left." So I'm guessing that was Lincoln's purpose. I swear he better make a pop up return within the next two episodes or I will be seriously pissed.

I felt bad for the baby grounder and even for the dude that Clarke killed. So much crazy stuff happened I can't even deal.

I know -- that was literally one of the dumbest things I have seen and I don't even say that as a Bellarke shipper. I don't expect Bellamy to turn a hot girl down and I saw it coming a mile away but her reasoning behind it was just so damn stupid for me. So if she falls for him and catches feelings and then the writers do go for Clarke & Bellamy in S2 what's she going to do (if she's still around?) not like Clarke because of that too?

Also, last week pissed me off so much with her. When she told Finn he didn't hesitate to touch Clarke but he did when it came to planting the bomb.... two different things girl! If I saw a friend fall, you bet your ass I'd make an attempt to try and catch them before they reach the ground. A bomb planting would definitely cause me to hesitate as well.

I actually agree with you -- I liked the ark and I was cracking up so much at Kane and how he was on that one man journey to try and save everyone that he could. I enjoyed seeing people join in though.

Can you believe we only have two episodes left?! So not fair.

Was he near them? I mean if you want to suspend belief for a minute then yeah. .. he's not the only one guilty of that. Also everyone else is not a main or recurring character... you only really saw two people rush to help someone falling Finn with Clarke and Jasper with Bellamy when he took a nosedive into a tent.

Now if it was anyone else, I don't see her doing all that.

Even so, in this world they want us to think they're all hunky dory and friends. I'm not delving that deep just yet

I still don't believe they'll kill off Finn especially with him being at Upfronts last month. That'll probably be their core triangle. Ugh.

LMAO I thought of you chick when he said he loved Clarke. I was like as chick would say, "You lust for her." I mean I can get he's having growing feelings and all that jazz but I doubt its love at this time. He should go back to the drawing board and try again.

I hate how dark (as in lighting) this show can get... or is it my TV? I'm never 100% sure.

Awwww little Clarke & Wells... why he gotta die so soon?!

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
