Too bad they didn't just recast Wick...I mean I don't think Raven NEEDS a love interest, but I loved the dynamic she had with him. I'm assuming he wound up chipped anyway, so maybe he's dead.

I hate it when shows recast, though. But yeah, they had a nice dynamic.

YES! When a character is as strong as Raven, you still have to find ways to . . . not weaken them, necessarily, but to show that they're not invincible. And this is what Season 3 did with Raven. It showed that she has her limits, too, that she has her moments of weakness, but that ultimately, even though it maybe be horrendous and agonizing, she WILL overcome them.

yeah I'm not fond of recasts at all unless they are like kid actors to teen actors or something.

I dont care if shes dating or not but i want her to have her own storyline. I wish her leg would get better too. only because shes limited in what she can do now.

tbh I don't even know why I said that, because I hate recasting too I guess I was sad that Wick had to go, because I liked them together. But that's what you get for being gross IRL.

Yeah not a fan of recasting either but I do get what you mean Lisa. It's just a real shame.

Spot on as always, April. I love that her mental strength/love for Finn was ultimately what got her out of ALIE's hooks, because if there's anyone who's capable of overcoming ALIE's influence, it's her.

Lindsey's at a wedding in Italy. And looking smoking hot as usual.

I think she did because in his death episode Sinclair tells her " Would you explain why you know all these stuffs ? " or something, and Octavia tells her in the roover while she's reading Becca's diary : " How do you know that ? " about the pass-phrase (or rather the pass-word, i saw people were annoyed by the repetition of "pass-phrase" ) stuff, looking awed.
So I guess it was meant by the writers but then they hadn't had the time/will to really explain it .
So now without any explanation it just seems blurred and far-fetched that she knows all of that just because she's been in the CoL.

Yeah, nothing new there. Although I can't see the pic for some reason.

She's so stunning. Made a gif set.











Happy Raven is the best.

ETA:

Made another one, I'm bored and cannot sleep.

Her smile is absolutely radiant.

Is it just me, or is she one of the characters who actually still manages to smile the most? Ironic, considering all that she's been through.

^ Although, I think sometimes Raven can hide behind a smile. She was smiling in the season premiere even though she wasn't happy at all and was struggling emotionally.

Lindsay looks gorgeous in the pic from the wedding. Also, I'm super jealous that she was in Italy.

Her still being able to smile and be happy shows how strong of a person Raven is. She is the definition of "Get knocked down, get back up".

Absolutely!

Looking at those gifs makes me realize how excited I am to re-watch her in Season 1!

I have no idea where they would be without Raven. Her coming down to earth was probably the best thing that ever happened to the delinquents.
