I LOVE Toni's recaps, I find her hilarious
And she is so spot on in her analysis/ interpretation of events.

BlueDog9

So what's everyone's favorite scene from before they all got on the ship?

destroyer of worlds

Same, I don't read them every week but they always crack me up. It's sad to know that moonasking's recaps have gotten bitter/angry though, I did enjoy hers too.

Kate, mine would be Clarke/Raven/Diyoza (?) all working together to take down McCreary.

April7739

Yeah, I don’t know, Toni’s recaps just never really made me laugh that much. But the moonaskingtostay ones did, but not as much lately.

From before? Madi telling Bellamy that Clarke tried to contact him every day for 6 years. Also loved Bellamy talking Madi down and urging her to break the cycle.

So how would you guys rank all the episodes this season? I think I’ve got mine.

5x03
5x13
5x08
5x04
5x10
5x05

5x12
5x01
5x09

5x11
5x07

5x02

5x06

And MVPs . . . it’s weird for 5x13, because I think Bellamy was the MVP throughout the majority of the episode (he even came up with cryo), but Monty was clearly the MVP at the end, so I may have to split it between them.

5x01: Clarke
5x02: Octavia
5x03: Bellamy
5x04: Bellamy
5x05: Clarke
5x06: Echo
5x07: Clarke?
5x08: Bellamy
5x09: Madi
5x10: Monty
5x11: Octavia
5x12: Madi
5x13: Bellamy/Monty

I liked the scene where spacekru was going after the cannons. My second favorite would probably be Clarke and Raven working together to take out McCreary

Madi telling Bellamy that Clarke tried to contact him every single day for 6 years. Bob’s reaction as Bellamy is so dang good.

1. The emotional Becho hug
2. Spacekru/Becho fighting together
3. Bellamy convince Madi not to kill Prisonkru
4. Monty carrying Murphy to save him
5. Emori tells Murphy that she still loves him and that she won't leave him behind

I've stopped reading Toni's recaps since she's celebrated Jaha's death so much ... I think that's just distasteful ... my personal opinion

Before they got on the ship? I liked the scene where they took out the canons. Octavia and Abby were interesting. Other than that, I'm not sure. The first half felt rushed and kind of blah to me. The bits on this ship were better, imo.

BlueDog9

Other than the Marper stuff, favorite on the ship scene?

Karma Police

I like the Blake moment. It was heartbreaking but also realistic and I loved that. And it's clear Bellamy still loves her even if he didn't say it, there's just a part of her he can't stand and it's the same part Octavia hates herself.

sonny1

I also like the Blake moment
and the Diyoza/Octavia moment
and Murphy's reaction to Monty's algae

BlueDog9

For me, it's the Blakes and the team meeting scene. Shaw raising his hand like he's a school boy and Murphy's hatred of algae were cute.

Karma Police

Yes. Float me now.

April7739

So if this excludes the whole end sequence and that lingering shot of Bellarke’s embrace, then I’d say Bellamy telling Clarke to meet him on the bridge (thus making her feel included again) and Bellamy being stern with Octavia and her acknowledging that it’s fair.

kiss the wind

Favorite pre-ship scene: Bellamy's speech to Madi about breaking the cycle (minus him calling her "Heda," which is... a whole other can of worms about lack of consistent writing, but I digress).

Also liked Charmaine/Clarke (prayer circle for more of that dynamic next season!)

Favorite on the ship stuff: Besides the whole Marper/BC + Jordan stuff, I'd say Bellamy/Clarke "meet me on the bridge" but also the Octavia/Diyoza moment.
