Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Monty, my boy ... so awesome in the last two episodes.

He knew exactly how to prick Jaha's conscience and went for the jugular (oops, no pun intended). And trying to save Illian because he knew it was right thing to do.

Yes, I love that Monty is getting more chances to step up this season and is not being relegated to the role of just science person. He really is a great character for keeping some of the leaders in check

Need more Monty for real. My one hope is that he has scenes with Bellamy since he's going back to Arkadia. My fav guy/guy relationship. I feel like they are the perfect yin/yang of it all. Monty the cool level headed one and Bellamy the hot tempered stubborn one. I love it. I need more of it.

Yes, I love that as well.

Apart from his obvious book smart ways, he's also quite a crafty and quick-thinking guy.

Same! I loved it when they had more scenes in early season 3, hopefully we'll be able to see more of that dynamic again this season.

I always want more Monty/Bellamy

the1marie · 03-20-2017, 07:39 PM

^ Yes! I also love Monty and Clarke together

loppabelle · 03-21-2017, 03:05 AM

^Same! In fact, I'm team Mount Weather killers.

Clarke, Bellamy, and Monty are my OT3.

I would love to see a storyline with Monty dealing with more repercussions of killing his mother. It seemed like the show was initially going that direction but Monty has snapped back far too quickly for my taste. No one gets over killing a parent that quickly. Even if he was suffering from something like PTSD would be understandable.

loppabelle · 03-21-2017, 03:05 AM

Ugh hate you DP

the1marie · 03-21-2017, 09:42 AM

Is it bad that I find team mount weather killers really funny?

Yeah, it would make sense to see more of Monty dealing with the repercussions of killing his mom. But I guess at this point every character has so much they're dealing with that it would be hard to have each of them deal with the emotional fallout on screen

Damocles · 03-21-2017, 06:26 PM

It would be so nice though! But yeah, there's just not the time I guess

destroyer of worlds · 03-21-2017, 06:29 PM

Mount Weather Killers

... catchy.

Yeah, Monty's joined the list of people suppressing the pain/trauma of having to watch their loved ones die in front of them

but for him, it's even worse. And having to do it twice ... that would **** anyone up. Especially given that he had just reunited with her.

The show moves so fast in general ... but I hope that they do address it eventually.

girl under the floor · 03-22-2017, 05:15 AM

Team Mount Weather Killers

destroyer of worlds · 03-24-2017, 08:10 AM

I'm going to call that trio that from now on.

And barring my favourite OT3 on the show (Clarke/Bellamy/Raven), this is my favourite dynamic on the show.

loppabelle · 03-25-2017, 03:28 AM

That's funny Sarah because my second OT3 is your first fav.

Great minds!

destroyer of worlds · 03-25-2017, 07:16 AM

YES, so true.

We move from that scene to Monty briefing what seems to be whatever resembles The Council these days on exactly how dire their situation has become. So, okay, I know we’ve moved on from The List, but I feel the need to say something. Monty wasn’t on the list for some ridiculous “Jaha is suddenly an engineer and you’re only an apprentice, sorry” reason and yet this whole season Monty has been infinitely more useful in solving actual problems than Jaha has and Clarke isn’t stupid or unobservant, she would have known that and that speaks to a larger problem with season four. To be fair, this episode is one of the rare exceptions, but on a whole, season four of The 100 has prioritized character decisions for plot convenience. Over and over again, characters choose one way over another in a way that moves the plot forward rather than a way that is consistent with his or her character. We Will Rise is a blessed reprieve from this trend and hopefully, it continues through the rest of the season.

I agree with this 4X06 review BTW ... it's still ridiculous to me that Monty wasn't on the list and freaking Jaha was.
