Best Fight Scene(s)

Yes, I split it into two different types of fights,
because I couldn't choose just one.

BEST EMOTIONAL FIGHT

{X}

THE BELLARKE ARGUMENT

Technically, this scene is probably my favorite fight of the entire show.
Fighting doesn't have to be about stabbing and shooting and hitting.
Sometimes the internal conflicts are the ones that resonate the most.
Thus is the case for me with this scene. It's a complete tour de force
performance from both Bob and Eliza, but not to the point where it's
overdone. There are so many subtle nuances to their performances
that just break my heart here, like the way Clarke is rendered speech-
less and can only choke out, "I--" after Bellamy lays into her. And it's
such an important scene for Bellamy, because we finally see him vent
all of his anger and we see how much the trauma has impacted him.
My heart breaks for both of them here, but I do appreciate that, even
though they're fighting, you can still tell how much Bellamy cares for
Clarke and how much Clarke still believes in him. When you care for
someone, you don't always have to agree with them or tell them they
are right. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is let them know
when they are wrong, which Bellamy and Clarke both did here.

BEST PHYSICAL FIGHT

MURPHAMY ELEVATOR SCENE

I really couldn't decide between this and the conclave, but I have a feeling
the conclave will be making some appearances on other people's entries,
so I'm going to go with this scene instead. I'm probably biased, as this
is one of my favorite dynamics on the show, and 3x15 was at one point
my favorite episode (second now only to 4x13). This whole episode is
just so action-packed, and I love the sense of urgency with this fight,
the frenetic pacing of it. Having such a physical fight happen in such
a compact space is a really good contrast. Plus, I just love seeing
Bellamy and Murphy work together. Shock baton porn for the win.
