Bellamy Blake [Bob Morley] #46: “Bob Morley turns in a devastating performance that really sells Bellamy’s inner turmoil” –A.V. Club
The Army:
Season 1 - "What's wrong with a little chaos?" Bellamy began, it seemed, as the bad guy. He opposed the heroine and was antagonistic toward those presented as good and wholesome with his selfish desires. He gave no thought for the lives of others whilst promoting anarchy on the ground. But with each episode, a bit more of his mask was stripped away to reveal a man who cared far more than any would have guessed. He was a man terrified, desperate for a sense of power and control that had always eluded him. He had spent his life in perpetual fear for his sister and with the heavy responsibility of not just her safety, but also her very life. His failure to his mother and sister weighed heavily upon him, leading to rash decisions to protect his family as he’d been unable to do before. But with more time on the ground, the parameters of family changed. He began to feel responsible for not just Octavia but all of the 100, and he felt each death keenly. His guilt culminated in Day Trip as he faced the deaths of the culling, which bloodied his hands. It was a turning point as he recognized he’d strayed from the good man his mother had raised. As Clarke helped him to recognize that his poor choices didn’t define him, that he has done good and is needed, he came away determined to be the man his mother had raised him to be. His fierce loyalty and protective spirit shone through as he sacrificed and repeatedly put his life on the line for others. At the beginning of the season, he was a man who cared only about his sister. At the end, he extended that love to everyone else.
Season 2 - "There are some lines you can't uncross." As the adults from the Ark came to the ground and began imposing rules once more, Bellamy struggled again under their authority. He was no longer the young man on the Ark who needed to toe the line and keep his head down in order to protect his family. He had come to be a leader and felt a great responsibility for the lives of others. He chafed as the adult leaders literally and figuratively tied his hands, preventing him from doing what he felt was his duty. Bellamy is a man of action, so he couldn’t sit idly by while there was power within him to do something. So he infiltrated Mt Weather, again proving his loyalty and fierce protectiveness as his life was in perpetual danger. Yet during this time, his view of friend and foe shifted, as he was at the mercy of those he presumed to be his enemy. He witnessed firsthand the good residing in Mt Weather as so many worked to save him and his people - some paying with their lives. And then there were the children. The circle of those to protect expanded, but he ultimately failed. As he was faced with the harsh reality that not all could be saved, a choice had to be made. Days before, Bellamy vowed with fierce determination that he would kill everyone in Mt Weather, unable to foresee his heavy heart as he and Clarke weighed the lives in Mt Weather against their own people. What happened at the end of the season broke him. In retrospect, this may have been the beginning of his downfall.
Season 3 - "I have to live with what I've done." Choices made in Mt Weather weighed heavily on Bellamy. But he carried on. His duty to his people remained constant and was a responsibility he would not shirk. He was doing all he could to be happy, but another betrayal shattered that. Another Grounder proved herself untrustworthy. For a second time, lives within Mt Weather - lives he felt a need to protect - were lost because he trusted the wrong person. Bellamy was determined not to make that mistake again as his perception of friend and foe narrowed further. Unfortunately, his anger and desire for vengeance led him down a dark path. Through it all, he justified his choices, truly believing he was doing what was right for ‘his people.’ In the end, it was his loyalty which snapped him out of it as one of his own was to be executed, a man who had shown him respect and in turn earned his, a man who continued to believe the good in Bellamy despite his struggles. Unfortunately, though Kane and others were saved, another was not. While not directly responsible for Lincoln’s death, it will forever weigh on Bellamy due to its effect on Octavia. Bellamy once again had to face his demons and decide who it was he wanted to be. At the season’s end, he is still on a journey of discovering himself and determining who he will be, but along the way (though he gets sidetracked at times) he is not allowing his mistakes to hold him back from who he can be. At the end of the season we see a Bellamy more aware of himself, of what is right and wrong, and ready to become once again the hero they all need.

Thanks for the new thread ! Woop your first thread !
So, I came here to tell you about what happened to me yesterday. I was talking with one of my colleague, turns out we studied the same thing at university, that it to said : History. We also went to the same university. She started to talk about the teachers: "Oh yeah with Mr. Bellamy ?" My mind started to go all crazy, I had a lot of flash pictures of Bellamy Blake going through my head, even his voice in my head. I was probably looking at my colleague like Then I had a big blank... before "oh yeah Mr. Bellamy. He was very good" and my mind finally reconnected the name Bellamy with my previous teacher. My history teacher name was BELLAMY. With the same spelling yes. How ? This is fate. __________________

TFTNT, Marie. Awesome title.
So cool, Margaux! I'd totally have frozen for a bit too. Quote:
So, I was randomly thinking about Jasper repeating "whatever the hell we want" to Bellamy. When he says it back to Bellamy, he doesn't even react ... when he was the one who said it in season 1. I guess it makes sense because Bellamy didn't really subscribe to that notion, he was just putting up a mask and making it seemed like he didn't give a damn about anything. Either that or he did believe in that, but he's since grown up and realised that he can't just do anything he wants, without there being consequences. Anyway, just some random thought that I had. __________________

TFTNT, Marie! Was this your first thread-start?
Oh, wow, Margaux . . . you had a teacher named Mr. Bellamy? (Now why are there not any teachers like Bellamy where I work? Why? ) Quote:

Very very true. Though I think at this point both Bellamy and Jasper have begun to think only in the short term. I'm curious to see how much of Jasper's ideas Bellamy really buys into in the next few episodes.

always, April
we can always talk more about his arms Love your random thought, Sarah. And yes, Bellamy has definitely done some hgrowing up since s01's whatever the hell we want. The weird thing is, I didn't even think of that now. My mind went immediately to Jasper's "long way from whatever the hell we want" at the end of s01, where he hugged Bellamy. Quote:
