Whew! Octavia has consistently been one of my favorite characters throughout the series, and discovering her dark side hasn't changed my opinion. Those six years have turned her into a maniacal power-hungry monarch and it looks like she will stop at nothing to keep that power. Madi is young and easily pliable, and I fear (as does Clarke) that she will get hurt in the process, both emotionally and physically. At this point I don't think even a child is off-limits to Octavia's wrath.
Indra is my favorite adult character and I fear that Octavia will tire of her dissent and put her in the pit, citing treason or some other crime she believes Indra has committed. I fear even more that Gaia's open defense of Madi will put her there, too. The way this show is going, I wouldn't doubt they'd have to fight each other. Indra would never kill her daughter, so I'm afraid I'm seeing the last episodes with Indra. I pray that isn't true because that's not something I can ever forgive O for.
Echo showed a little bit of her former self in this episode by betraying an ally just to save her own skin. She had valid reasons but I still hated the way that went down. I hope Shaw forgives Raven. I see a romantic relationship in their future before Shaw is killed, because I have never seen a character with a bigger target on his head than Shaw.
Abby has been up and down for me over the years, but I am completely over the drug addiction. Kane has turned into some weird guru/advisor person and I wouldn't be surprised to see him break out a mat in the middle of Shadow Valley and teach the residents to meditate their illnesses away.
Speaking of drugs, I firmly believe the writers get 80% of their names by changing a letter or two of prescription medication. Praimfaya, Eligius...just saying. Nothing wrong with that.
This was a pretty decent episode. I am not convinced this is one of the better seasons yet, but that has the potential to change. I'm a little over the "save the human race, we are the last of our kind" but humans keep showing up from random places. What's next? The Arkers are going to go back to space and cryosleep to the future when the earth is habitable because they're going to destroy Shadow Valley with their war? I think that would be a cool storyline. I mean, they seem to get to space and back super easily so why not have another season set in space? As long as Kara Cooper isn't there. She's the one person on the ground I would like to see meet a terrible end. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!
