I was shocked as well when Charlotte killed Wells but it made so much sense in a very damaged 11 year old way. It also reminded me that these are just kids even if they are strong, talented kids and they don't always think through what they do and say.drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33719801258892499172015-05-11T00:00:34.670-04:002015-05-11T00:00:34.670-04:00Bellamy is really sweet trying to help Charlotte. ...Bellamy is really sweet trying to help Charlotte. This is the first time we see a softer side of him, one that probably he used to display more around Octavia, but now can’t since she has declared her own independence. It’s sad that Charlotte completely twists his advice, though.<br /><br />And, yes, that scene is so brutal and shocking. My reaction was something like: “What the hell, oh my god, she’s killing him. No, stop. Oh no, somebody. He can’t die, he’s like a major character or something. Oh no, he’s dead. He really died. Wow, I can’t believe it.”<br /><br />It’s not like I was a major fan of Wells or anything, but he was the moral compass of the 100, a decent human being and a loyal friend to Clarke. Besides, he is a character we won’t get to know much more of because he’s gone. It was very clever of the writers to write him as one of the main guys and kill him off early on and out of the blue to surprise us.<br /><br />RIP Wells.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-49808508816105344592015-05-10T21:12:51.170-04:002015-05-10T21:12:51.170-04:00Terrific review, Laure.

You wrote, "I don't know why, but this episode made me think of lots of other movies/TV shows, and that's why I kept referencing them."<br /><br />For me, it was definitely <i>Lost</i>. Jasper screaming in pain and everyone going nuts about it was very much like what happened to the marshal, and the scary cloud of scariness was Smoke Monster-ish. I don't suppose it's sentient? (I don't know -- I haven't seen the rest of the series yet.)<br /><br />Bellamy trying to help little Charlotte made me like him a little, too. Maybe he's not a total loss.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
