Very interested to see what happens next week. Octavia obviously has control over Wonkru, where they respect her and obey her orders. So I expect she'll try to lead them into war or something, but I'm not sure the space group will be as willing to follow her lead

Damocles

Yeah I agree with that - Octavia is PISSED and I can't see her waiting around to peacefully discuss a course of action.

See, I wonder, do they respect her? Or do they fear her?

I have a lot of thoughts and a lot of feelings about Octavia right now, most of them not pleasant. I did enjoy the moment where she hugged Bellamy. That was the real Octavia there, the one that I hope and pray still exists deep down. Because this other version of her . . . it’s tragic to watch.

Octavia is a mess, and I can't see her coming back from this. Her progression in season two was fine, if a bit annoying. Season three... makes sense bc she lost Lincoln. Season four... eh... okay, not my fave, but understandable.

This Octavia?

April7739

I . . . I don’t know. I’m not happy with her saying what she did to Bellamy at the end (after he literally negotiated her and everyone else out of the bunker), but I could probably get past that. But Kane . . . being literally seconds away from killing Kane . . . Oh, man. I did not anticipate her going quite this dark, I’ll admit.

Octavia Blake in Every Episode - 5x04 - Pandora's Box

That gifset is absolutely gorgeous, Paula

While I am not happy with Octavia right now, I do believe every character is redeemable on this show. I really do hope she will find a way out of her self-made "prison". She set up the rules of the game, she could not let Kane go.

However sad that makes me, she really backed herself into a corner with her blood sport/ population reduction plan

There will be a major clash with other characters, I expect with Indra, which will be jarring to watch after Indra backed her for so long.

April7739

Indra clearly is not loving this version of Octavia. Which is interesting to me, and honestly, it’s making me like Indra better. I think she’s sad to see Octavia go down this path.

Thanks for the great Octavia gifset Paula

How do you feel?

Like I've said it in the episode discussion thread ... I think almost killing Kane was Octavia's absolute lowest point
but I still have hope for her, and I count on the positive influence of Indra, Bellamy, Clarke etc. on Octavia ... please let my hopes come true

I will need to rewatch to collect all my thoughts on Octavia. This episode was a lot

destroyer of worlds

Love the new set, Paula.

I too have a lot of mixed feelings over Octavia right now, I need to process/articulate them.

Marie has some secret project going on apparently ... hope to know more soon and wow, she's looking amazing.

the1marie

Wow, she is so pretty!

I hope we hear more about this secret project soon

April7739

I just posted my very long episode thoughts in the 5x04 thread, and a substantial portion of it focuses on Octavia and/or the Blakes.

Damocles

Damn, she looks gorgeous there

destroyer of worlds

She legit looks like an angel in that white outfit. And her eyes ... unreal.



Just a peek of exciting things to come .....
