True North {BellamyღClarke} #39: Bonds that cannot be severed or broken by distance or time. Bellamy & Clarke are a testament to that type of bond.

Tftnt! :)
I thought we were changing the Head & Heart part to True North? Amy where the hell have you been?We've been missing you here. Didn't even hear whtat you thougt of the episode. |
I changed it to True North. ;) If you want me to change the quote in the title, let me know.
Sorry I haven't been able to post. :pout: Today was the first chance that I've had to come to the board since the episode aired and when I finally came to post in this thread I had to leave to go run some errands. :pout: I'll be honest, I thought 3x04 was by far the weakest episode of the season. In fact, it's the first episode of this season that I'm going to delete from my DVR. Like I said over on the Bellamy thread, I actually can see why he would follow Pike but it does feel a bit rushed. I won't say it's OOC but I do think that the writers haven't done as great of a job at executing this storyline as they think they did. The same goes for Clarke. In the span of 2 episodes, Clarke has gone from wanting to kill Lexa to trying to save Lexa and, like Bellamy, it feels rushed. The writing is just off to me and this last episode just wasn't that enjoyable. With Bellamy, a part of me wonders if Clarke were at Arkadia, if she could have reasoned with Bellamy. Would he have still agreed with Pike but maybe talked him into a different course of action? I don't know. He's bullheaded sometimes so maybe she wouldn't have been able to but we'll never know b/c Clarke is off playing "ambassador" for "her people" who she hasn't even had any real interaction with for months and has no idea what is going on in Arkadia or what they want or need. |
^^Yeah, we're basically all thinking the same about that episode. Not one that I want to remember.
Hopefully, things will start to unfold a little bit differently with Clarke showing up at Arkadia. |
TFTNT Amy. :hug:

And the bolded bits, SFM. I still find it a bit unbelievable that she is still considered a champion for her people right now since she literally hasn't seen them in months and doesn't know what they've been up to or what would be best for them. Abby/Kane aren't doing much though, they're being wishy washy and hiding things from their people again which obviously doesn't bode well and Pike is playing on that point. :rolleyes: |
^^Honestly, I feel like this is so important for Clarke and Bellamy to be reunited right now. I feel they need each other more than ever right now. That everything hasn't been the same ever since MW and Clarke leaving. That they balance and complete each other so well that when when don't work as a team, everything is going to fall apart and create more mess. That's how deep this relationship is to me. The fact that I miss their relationship on my screen isn't helping either. I'm really craving some good and real interactions (with real talking). Don't get me wrong, I LOVED episode 2 and it was really the most coerent and well written episodes (All the praises to Aaron who's a major Bellarke shipper). I feel like it has been so long since I felt something like I did in S1 when they were living at the dropship or last season before Bellamy went undercover. I mean WHY DO THEY HAVE TO SEPARATE THEM ALL THE TIME? What good can possibly come out of that? Next thing you know, we'll get a season 4 and Jason will think of another way to have them on each side of the ground. Probably throwing Roan as a love interest since Lexa will be either dead or gone for good.

TFTNT!
You all make some good points. I think we all can agree that Clarke needs to come back to Arkadia. All hell has been breaking loose since she has been at Polis "representing" her people. Polis is a escape for her since she is still broken about MW. But what can be better thing then being with Bellamy, someone that can understand and help her through such a hard time? and of course, she needs to keep him in check and keep him from his spiral downwards. |
TFTNT!

And I think perhaps she could have reasoned with Bellamy, but she isn't the only option on that front. As has already been mentioned by others, what were Raven and Octavia up to when this was going down? Clarke being in Polis, the one representing a people she doesn't even know right now, perfectly demonstrates this rift which will be the underlying cause of so much conflict. These people are NOT COMMUNICATING with each other. There's an uproar in Arkadia over the lives taken. But the leaders there want to sit on their butts and let Clarke and the rest of the Grounders handle it. Well what does Clarke know? Meanwhile Clarke is embroiling herself in Grounder politics which she obviously knows little to nothing about and nearly bungles things up such that her people may as well be good as dead. These people need to quit going around half cocked thinking they know what's best when they only know a fraction of what's really going on. Oh, dramatic irony...how I loathe you sometimes. :irked: |
The real crazy part is that ALL OF THIS could have been stopped if Clarke had came back to Arkadia at the end of episode 3. She has spent so much time in Polis, she has no idea what is happening in Arkadia. She doesn't know about Pike and his "lets kill all grounders" mentality. If she had come back Bellamy may not have decided to side with Pike so drastically.
I understand that she in Polis to keep a eye on Lexa, but shouldn't she be keeping a eye on HER people aswell. While she is in Polis, Her mother loses being Chancellor and a dictator took power. While she is off being buddy buddy with Lexa, Arkdia is going through the 7 levels of hell |
I don't see the "problem" in Clarke representing Arkadia when it's clear no one went against it and I don't even think they'd want to do it. As you said even Kane and Abby went along with it. Nobody had a problem with it. So why would you? Even if she left, even if she was MIA for 3 months, I believe that out of all the Arkers, she's the one with the most knowledge about eh grounders and the closest to Lexa wo's the one at the head of the coalition. Ok, she might not understand everything about politics but we do know the lenghts she's willing to go to for HER people and for me that's enough. Do I think Kane would have been better? I think it's a role that was more suited for him.
Clarke has been gone for 3 months, not for 5 years. I don't think things changed THAT much. I do agree though that there is a MAJOR communication problem between these people. Right now they all need to take responsabilities and for each to do whay they do best. And please, can the adults act like...adults? |
Just because a bunch of fictional characters are going along with a dumb plan doesn't mean I can't still think it's dumb.
And are you kidding me? In this show a bajillion things change in ONE WEEK let alone three months. BTW - there are 9 circles of hell. And I'd hardly say Arkadia is going through all of those. Maybe 3...or 4...okay I could perhaps see an argument for 5. |

New thread already!:thud: Thank you! love the title so much:love:

I wasnt using the circles in a literal sense. Just saying how things are going downhill fast.
Totally, the adults need to step it up. They are getting trampled over and doing nothing about it. |
