You could. Poor Bellamy. He’s always getting punched or tased or stabbed. Never shot, though. Because the guns love him. BUNS.

My friend saw pics of him from Fan Expo, and she thinks his skin tone looks darker off the show, too. We should just ask Lisa. She met him. And I didn’t.

Now watch him get shot in S5

Was that a spoiler? Or just a speculation?

BlueDog9

Random spec Sonja.

sonny1

Oh, okay ... Thank god it's not a spoiler!

destroyer of worlds

Those are all good examples, Sonja. I have said this before but I have a similar skin tone as Bob and it is more prominent in some pictures instead of others. Another reason would probably be the lighting in the specific scene.

Damocles

I didn't love that finale, it felt awkward to me...but upon further review, not sure what they could have done differently Other than show Praimfaya melt that lady, and end it there...that would have been cool.



He DID look it to me in person, but maybe he was tanned? I assume he was tanned (sorry if this is rude to say in some way, but he does look more pale on the show but maybe it's just lighting?)

sonny1

You lucky girl ... I have a very bright and sensitive skin and that's no fun in summer

April7739

Yeah, I am either pale or burnt red, there’s no in between. Hence the reason why I don’t go outside a lot.

Oh, yeah, Lisa, that would have been a cool way to end season three.

sonny1

Seems like we both have the same skin April ... I have to go out a lot in summer with my dog, but I do it in the morning/evening hours, then I can stand the sun better

destroyer of worlds

Yup, I don't suntan easily I have to say ... and that's good because I'm super tanned already. Actually, a lot of people here (of the same race) are fairer than I am, I have darker skin compared to others because of my dad's darker complexion. Which is what Bob gets from his mother too, I presume.

sonny1

I would like it to have your skin Sarah ... that would make it so much easier to go outside in the summer months

Thanks for the gif ... must be from 3x02 at Niylah's home

I'm a pale white girl.

Since The 100 kicked off in 2014, Bellamy Blake has been many things – unpredictable, irrational, protective, heroic, exasperating, a rebel and a leader, to name a few. But it wasn’t until this year’s fourth season that all of Bellamy’s best and worst parts finally came together and his character learned to lead with both his heart and his head. When faced with a second apocalypse, Bellamy was forced to accept decisions he didn’t agree with. From understanding Jasper’s decision to die on his own terms to letting Octavia go when it came to her complete integration into Grounder society, in 2017 Bellamy proved to have more nuance than the black-and-white, us vs them mentality he’s had so far, and it was brilliant to see all of the elements of his personality click into place. It helps that actor Bob Morley can inject every possible moment of conflict playing out in Bellamy’s head in one facial expression too. – Megan Davies

^ Oh, I love that! As a massive season four Bellamy fan, I just . . . love it! And the praise for Bob’s ability to showcase everything in one look! Yes! And I love that that’s a “Best TV Characters of 2017” list.

Some future thread titles in there, I think.
