There are so many characters on this show and new ones are coming in all the time. I just think Kabby's story has been told. Of course, this could be all wrong and we get cougar Abby and young Kane 2.0 in a hot romance. I honestly don't know how i would feel about that. If we got that before even one moment of Bellarke romance...sigh.

I sincerely hope not. I don't want it

Let Abby just realize how wrong she was. Give her some kind of resolution in a way

I don't see the remaining Team Adult make it much further.

I'm sure nobody would mind

I love how Bllamy never makes it onto Team Adult even though he was 23 when the show started.

I think you’re right that it’s very in character (her new addiction, like you said), but it’s just gone to show me how much I’ve grown to dislike her character. I’ve never been a huge fan, but this selfish decision is the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me.

Yeah, they’re just not needed for the storyline and really haven’t been for a while. Time to dispense.

I get it. Abby disappointed me a while ago, I just don't get too upset about her actions anymore. I can certainly understand why other fans feel that way. It's evident how disliked she is by how she is written in fics. I've come to expect her to do desperate things, which she always tries to justify. I'm wondering how the body-swapping will measure on her "good guy" Richter scale. I really want Kane 2.0 to completely reject the body swap. That would certainly put her in a tailspin. Paige is a good actress, so, she would rock that.

I guess I am just not really interested in the old Team Adult. Never really was, as I thought the more compelling stories were with the delinquents. Over the seasons there were many times that the show flipped to the adult's stories when we were left hanging elsewhere. I'm sure it's all in the editing. Leave 'em wanting more.

Same, and I feel like they're kind of redundant on the show now? Sad to say.

Oh my god, Modo, you’re right about the way she’s written in fics! I don’t tend to write a very likable Abby, either.

Most of the fics I have read paint her and Clarke as having a troubled relationship, which feels right somehow. I have to say April, that your fics are among the most intelligently written that I have read. You seem to really nail the characters. When reading your stuff, I keep in mind that you have actually met and spent time with these folks. I think that dhows in the descriptions in your writing.

April7739 · 07-02-2019, 04:13 PM

Aww, thank you so much! That means a lot! I didn’t know you’d read anything I’ve written.

Yes, I've been reading fic for many years. I have limited time, so, I'm selective about what I read. Loving Lost Is Where I'm Found.

Back to the episode, I need to rewatch the scenes about the anomaly. So much was going on and I couldn't hear everything. So looking forward to next week's episode.

The adults were definitely more crucial in the first two seasons or so, now not so much ... I feel like the ultimate focus should be on the delinquents (or who is left anyway).

**wickedrum** · 07-03-2019, 09:35 AM

they're all adults now themselves anyway

destroyer of worlds · 07-05-2019, 10:33 AM

Yup, exactly.

So, the original adults are not so crucial to the story anymore.

***madness*** · 07-05-2019, 10:48 AM

Exactly what I've been thinking.
