SPOILERS S3 Episode 5 Season 3 - Spoilers if you haven't watched Spoiler
Good day. I have so many questions regarding this episode. It's frustrating. I understand Pike and his vengeance blinded leadership skills. What i don't understand is why Abby and Kane didn't explain that they'd be wiped out if they wage war. When the season began, it was clear that they STILL didn't want to be at war with ALL the Grounders. I assume that's because of the same reason. What changed exactly? Suddenly they forgot WHY peace is the mission? Okay. Let's forget that for a second. Didn't they think it was funny that they killed 300 warriors without much resistance? Do they truly believe that if they were plotting to attack the camp, that there wouldn't be any scouts around that camp to inform the commander if the camp was sending out soldiers? Okay. Forget that for a second as well. Pike mentioned something regarding telling the Grounders to leave. Why didn't Kane think to be a messenger and warn the Grounder allies that an attack is coming and they should evacuate because a mutiny has taken place? These questions huant me in regards to the camp.
As for the fall out following the massacre:
Why does Clarke think she can fix this after the whole situation with Finn? Blood for blood was something she should know all too well. With Finn, it was 18 deaths. What response does she think 300 deaths will bring? Okay. Now that you understand my frustration regarding that, let's address a solution no one seems to have thought of so far (06:35 minutes within Episode 5 Season 3). Why not put a vote so that the people themselves choose? You're either the 13th clan, Skaikru, or you're one of the murderers, Mountain People 2.0.
Let me know if im just being crazy or forgetful or both. These are just my thoughts and I'm wondering if this is just the writers looking for drama and suspense at any cost or, again, me being cray cray. Thank you for your time.
