I wish someone could ask her about that. It really bothers me not knowing why she said it, if she truly meant it and if she did, why it never materialized.

Didn't they explain that she was misquoted?

Yeah, I’m wondering about Lindsey’s comments too since it was very specific to Bellamy. I’m thinking that she was either misquoted or some scenes were filmed but ultimately cut out.

I totally forgot about that - maybe someone can ask her? How do you even misquote that?

So while I enjoyed this season, in regards to Bellarke it sucked how we were shown how ANGUISHED Bellamy was over losing Clarke/making it mean something/their epic reunion and then they barely talked all season. It didn't add up. Were the writers drunk?

So, prayer circle that they have MULTIPLE scenes in S6 with conversations that last longer than 1.3 minutes!

They just really didn't plan S5 out well.

This might be an unpopular opinion here, but the forgiveness scene in 5x13, if you even want to call it that, was lowkey lame. They deserved to have an angsty conversation even if the radio calls didn't get fleshed out further. Like, "The commander told me not to be"? Lame. Apologize to each other for your equally messed up actions, talk about how you need to reconnect because you barely know each other anymore, and maybe then forgive each other.

I don’t think that’s such an unpopular opinion actually, Amelia. Maybe they wanted to make it lighthearted but considering what they did to each other, it needed to be angsty IMO and they just didn’t give us that. We had that level of angst in season 3 so it was disappointing that it wasn’t done half as well in season 5. Especially with that radio call reveal just before that.

I don’t think Lindsey was misquoted. I think Susan said she recalls her saying that?

I didn’t mind that scene, but I wanted it to be longer. Angst, like 3x05 stuff, would have been cool there, for sure.

Imagine if they had condensed the Dark Year episode and had some of 5x12 happening there. Then the first half of 5x13 could have happened earlier, too. 5x12 could have ended with McCreary releasing the missile, a big cliffhanger. Then ALL of 5x13 could have been devoted to getting on the ship, figuring out things once up there, showing characters talking and reconciling, etc.

Yeah, I actually preferred episodes 12 and 13 but the episodes definitely felt rushed. Which was bizarre and frustrating because they spent so much time on arcs that didn’t go anywhere like Octavia being angry about Becho and the damn worms.

I agree with Amelia. We need some angst a-la 3X05 with their forgiveness. Maybe we'll get that in S6 if Clarke leaving Bellamy is mentioned with their relationship again.

It makes me sad how disappointed most of us are with season 5. They better well fix it ASAP.

I don't read modern AU fics in general but I'll try to share some fic recommendation posts from Tumblr soon.

Season 5 definitely didn’t live up to the greatness of season 4 for me, but I’m not completely disheartened. I’m trying to focus more on the things that I did like rather than the things I didn’t.

I think the season just had pacing problems and like...organizational problems? Like, they didn't properly plan out how things would fit on-screen and work as a whole. I enjoyed watching the season but these pacing issues were frustrating. It seemed like they rushed some parts, and took their time on other parts. I hope they work a little harder on that this season!

I really think they owed us a longer Bellamy/Clarke talk - longer than what we got. What we got was cute, but it was a LITTLE out of character for Bellarke tbh. But I'll take what I can get
