Oh it would be a great thing during summer months for sure, Sonja.

Thanks for the article, Kate! I’ll read the whole thing later but that’s awesome that Bellamy is recognised as a great character because he truly is. And a lot of it is also because of how well Bob portrays him.

Ooh I like! And I like how his character did kind of come full circle...or had two paths merge if you will, right before this time jump. It was really well done.

I agree with Lisa!

Yes! I think his season four storyline was written particularly well, and I’m sure the writers paid very close attention to it after season three. I mean, Bellamy is a very important character with a very large and passionate fan base, so I’m sure he’s always one of the first character arcs/journeys they flesh out, but this season in particular, it seems like it was a real priority to write a redemptive storyline without actually declaring him redeemed. It’s still a grey area, and it always will be, which, as a viewer and a fan, I appreciate.

Yeah, let’s add those future titles to the list. We can shorten the longer ones if need be.

Agreed too. All sides of Bellamy finally converged/came full circle and it only served to strengthen him as a character ... and as April has said before, it all would not have happened if we didn't get season 3 Bellamy. Even as polarising as it was.

Love the set, Kate. It's a sad but good one.

Needed to go through the darkness to get to the light at end of the tunnel

I truly hope that was Bellamy’s rock bottom and that he will continue to grow and become better after that. Trials and tribulations are one, but it’s important to not show him constantly regressing too IMO.

I don’t get the sense that we’ll see that, Sarah. I feel like we’ll see a different Bellamy in season five, one who has learned a lot.

Yep, this is it, pretty much.

I truly hope so, April.

New Bob tweet! I find it extra amusing that he made this comment re the list ... since Steve (the character that he's referencing) has been compared to Bellamy since he also adopted a whole bunch of kids and is a tired mom TM.

Damocles

Yeah I feel like from here on out we'll see a progressing Bellamy - even more. I mean, assuming he still has his quirks and all that..who knows how much he's changed in six years

BlueDog9

There's only so much any of them can change and still be the same person.

I feel that too

Favorite Bellamy scene acting wise from S1?

April7739

Acting wise . . . hmm, the Day Trip stuff is the first stuff that comes to mind, particularly during Bellamy’s Jaha hallucination and the tree scene with Clarke. But I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the “We are grounders!” speech and when he watches Clarke mercy kill Atom.
