That's war
tenshi_ippikiookami9 February 2016
Jaha's quest for god and redemption continues in this episode, a really good one for the series.

For starters, Jaha and Murphy's road seems to be coming to an end. Are they going to arrive to the City of Light or die before? Is it actually real? Just at the beginning of the episode almost half of the followers of prophet Jaha go up in the air. It's just four crazy people left. But if god is showing you the way, you are immortal. Jaha's basic writings.

Back on the war, Ark and Grounders are waiting for Bellamy to get rid of the acid fog. Bellamy is quickly becoming the Jack of all trades: action-man, person-with-heart, plan-maker, assassin, McGyver... He's starting to deserve his own series. Bellamy, superhero. It's a lot of fun, and over the top in a cool way, but in danger of being too much.

But the aftermath of the bombing keeps everyone on their toes, and the danger brings the most basic needs and emotions to light. So, if anyone missed kisses... here we have them. After so much darkness and blood, a little bit of love isn't unwelcome. But one of the "love-moments" is just basically silly, being people in danger.

Still, this is another great episode. And the show seems to suggest that the Mount Weather people will be nothing against the City of Light ones. Fear, what Jaha may bring, Ark people...

Warning: Spoilers
26 February 2015 The 100 season 2 episode 14- 'Bodyguard of lies' Review By Tyler Reece Hyde

Note: Spoilers ahead.

So where do I start? I have always found myself a real TV fanatic and find myself so engrossed with the programmes I am currently watching but I have never decided to put my views out there for people to see! Please bear with me as this is something I have never done before...

Okay, so let's get started. What an episode to write about. The 100... What are you doing to us!?! Week after week we are having episodes delivered on a plate jam packed with nail biting, edge of the seat, sweaty palm action!

Let's jump straight in with that kiss... Lexa and Clarke- CLEXA is the name being used. They are not quite 'official' but it's now clear some sort of feelings have been building between these two. I have found myself struggling to see where Clarke stood? Was there something being built between the two or just an alliance? Clarke did pull away- "I'm not ready to be with anyone. Not yet." But the effort we saw in that kiss does tell another story! Once again we are left just as confused as Lexa at this point... I LOVE it, but let's not forget Alycia Debnam- Carey's lead role in the new 'Walking dead spin off? I'm probably sitting here with many other 100 fans wondering what is to happen to our grounder commander. We can only wait and see. OH yes am I forgetting something? WAIT I am. Raven and Wicks steamy scene. Surprise or did we see it happening? Myself I could see the 'CHEMISTRY' excuse the pun from the first time working together. It was pretty intense between the two and Bellamy on the other end of the walky-talky. All those Acid naming skills Wick was throwing out there clearly paid off. I think I should have studied Chemistry. Even though the screen time was less we sure saw enough to know what happened. Shortly after we witnessed a cold vibe off Raven. I found myself thinking 'was this a spare of the moment thing'?! Poor Wick. Anyone at Mount weather do couple counselling? Might be needed for next week.

Meanwhile, 'warning mines' Sign? What sign? We witness a flying leg, an arm and a few more body parts raining down on the Jaha group as they come across a mine field on the way to 'The city of light' also battling and waiting for a sandstorm to pass. What else can they throw at these guys?! Finally as it passed we see a light emerge. With a dramatic sprint towards it we are only disappointed to see solar panels… I did feel bad for them but with John's frustration we do come across a Drone with a POV meaning someone was controlling that bad boy! Whom we are hoping to see in season 3! The last two weeks we have started to see a friendship build between Thelonious and John even with constant tasks being thrown at them they still have that humour between them John to Jaha "what level of crazy is too much for you? I'm just curious" as they jump in a boat to follow a drone…

Bellamy comes across a few difficult situations which he has to 'Die hard' (yes I saw this on twitter) his was out of. Which I must say was bloody awesome. We also have raven on the walky- talky- pretty fun as we see the build-up between Wick and herself, while Bellamy was chased by guards, knocking out guards, dual wield pistol shooting, OH WAIT and a huge explosion. Which Bellamy escaped into a vent without being burnt I must add!

Back at camp we see Octavia has figured it out about the missile strike and the tension has built between her and Clarke. Let me mention I would not want to mess with Octavia right now- looking pretty damn bad-ass. Specially being Indra's second. You go girl! Octavia isn't the only one- we also see Indra has figured it out but she has aimed her anger at the mountain men. Octavia has a lot to learn to know what it is really like to become a grounder.

Let's bring this to an end. So we have witnessed a few sparks flying between people! Clexa has happened- which I think many people will be shocked but happy about as it opens up a few new stories, very clever I must say. Wick and Raven- is the chemistry really there? Bellamy in a dramatic bond/ die hard fashions disables the fog allowing the march to take place on Mount weather. We still have fate for the Jaha group on the 'city of light' adventure.

All we can do is wait and see what the part one of the season finale can bring us next week.

Understanding war.

This episode, people trying to understand what "war" means. Meanwhile, Jaha's adventure turned from faithful into a crazy yet interesting expedition.
