Technically it was even a Lexa flashback since all the commanders are actually in that chip along with ALIE2.0. just like the dead people who ate the chips are uploaded to the City of Lights.<br /><br />I was of course spoiled a long time ago about Lexa's demise. The day the episode aired the internet exploded and it was just impossible to avoid. Although thanks to that I was able to concetrate on how good the episode actually was and not on the shock. I just assumed she would die fighting not by accident. Of course on sites like imdb and tv.com it's the lowest rated episode of the series because we can't expect objectivity from shippers.<br /><br />More foreshadowing: one of the Nightbloods survived the last conclave. Wonder if that will become important. ;)<br /><br />Polis was so Vger and the opening nuke scene was so Battlestar Galactica. It's good to have nods to the best of sci-fi while making your own story.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8488005878750562992016-03-06T10:08:43.186-05:002016-03-06T10:08:43.186-05:00Wow.

Why didn't she know how to stop the mountain men/about technology? Why would commanders be so different?), <br /><br />but I can't help but love the possibilities... it's like the first slayer myth in Buffy: they buy into it, they perform, they die and the next one is chosen. <br /><br />I just really wish they hadn't killed her but explored it with this particular character alive...! however... :) it was well done. <br /><br />thanks, as always, for the review - Helen Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55124323881957314412016-03-05T14:44:30.511-05:002016-03-05T14:44:30.511-05:00Yu gonplei ste odon, Heda.

I didn't think I would, since I kept expecting her to betray Clarke; I'm glad she died without that happening.<br /><br />Polis -- Polaris. That was so Vger -- Voyager.

They brought in Roger Cross to handle the exposition. And die, which is just too bad. The shots of the bombs going off on the earth below gave me chills.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
