I think the answer must lie in the nature of the A.I. From what Becca said, the idea of ALIE was that she was supposed to understand the needs and wants of her human host, but the first version of the A.I. was flawed (hence Becca 2). But even so, her core programming was written to respect free will. There seems to be something special about her relationship with Jaha, so I'm thinking that it's ultimately his desires that she's answerable to, and she's been able to persuade him that her vision is worth taking away free will. <br /><br />That's my thought on how grounder society took the direction it did. <br /> Titus said the A.I. amplified what was already there. And so ALIE2 was doing its best to satisfy the desires of the commanders. They believed in vengeance and survival of the fittest. When Clarke suggested to Lexa that there were other ways to do things, the A.I. was receptive to her logic. magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-37898380792322003412017-01-02T16:02:13.716-05:002017-01-02T16:02:13.716-05:00Billie, Stephen King haa great taste in TV.

The characters needed to clear the air and the only way it would happen is through an outside force like here. Heck, we needed the air cleaned. The way Bellamy reacted to Raven analyzing him told me more about his motivations then all this season did so far and I understand the direction the writers took him in more now.<br /><br />Glad they revisited the trading post and the dropship, continuity is my drug of choice. Not so glad that probably Monty now will ruin the plan along the way to see his mom again.<br /><br />The band is back together now, lets hope it will stick for more then 1 episode.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1928841612527767872016-04-17T07:58:20.531-04:002016-04-17T07:58:20.531-04:00This is hilarious.

Stephen King is now a fan of this show and he just tweeted a bunch of stuff about it:<br /><br />https://twitter.com/StephenKing<br /><br />The sad (but true) mantra that's repeated over and over in THE 100: "There are no good guys."<br /><br />What I like best about THE 100 is the strong feminist slant. No preaching, just story.<br /><br />Challenge for the writers of THE 100: Get through Season 4 without Clarke saying "I'm sorry" more than, say, 10 times.<br /><br />The 100: Bellamy and Octavia take sibling rivalry to a whole new level.<br /><br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31886728225444829502016-04-16T17:04:15.396-04:002016-04-16T17:04:15.396-04:00What a heavy episode.

It's hard not to feel for Raven because she's such a cool character. It's awful to think that Raven is again going to be in constant pain. And how are they going to free the rest of the Arkadians, after what it took to free Raven?<br /><br />In the previous episode, Raven was quoting "The Raven" loudly when she was trying to shut ALIE out. It's one of the few poems I've memorized.<br /><br />http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178713<br /><br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
