Does anyone remember all the Clinton headlines from the 90s when Republicans went hard after him for having an affair with an intern?Ā They nearly had him impeached over it.
Seems they donāt care about that sort of thing anymore (unless itās some showbiz type. Oh. Wait).
Not sure what I could bring to any discussion on it. Ā I felt a little empty watching it. Ā I wanted to know if Diana had friends or lovers on the island she left behind without a thought. Ā Wouldnāt at least one of those loyal friends want to accompany her? Ā There was no time to portray a serious romance so Iām not sure why they made it such a major part of the story – it diminished the importance of her relationships with the Amazons. Ā Dr. Poison was wasted. Ā Ares was an obvious and monologuing nitwit. Ā Much of the action movement and choreography looked like it was lifted from Zack Snyderās Sucker Punch.Ā I would like to see her surrounded by other women again. Ā I hope they put Chief in the sequel. Ā I hope Gail Simone writes it. Ā
How do you politely tell someone that you want them naked on top of you
Upon close examination of your outer exterior I would be humbly gratified if you placed it unclothed atop of my person
You forgot to say āPleaseā.

āUm, yes, hello, um, so sorry, I just, I was just wondering, you know, um, if it were at all possible – not that Iām pressuring! Ā No, no, never, no – but, if, um, you could, perhaps, if it were entirely agreeable on your part, and not at all awkward or unwanted or anything un-un-pleasant and if it would, I mean, you know, if you wanted, and it makes sense, I suppose, perhaps, you could, remove uh, well, uh, yes, those, that, there, the, uh, the, the garments of your, uh, your person, and, well, to be brief, I guess, uh, if you could then just, uh, you know, well, uh – sitonmyface – it would be most welcome thank you so very much.ā
It is a mess, yes, but I donāt think Clarke will kill Bellamy, least of all to make him aĀ āhero.ā Ā It is regressive and it is appalling that the Blakes are given morally superior stances that neither have earned and all at the expense of two women who have known better, but the narrative doesnāt want it that way, I guess. There will always be a problem with Skaikru depicted in anyway as heroes as most (save Clarke, Kane and Octavia) see grounders as savage, inferior and have isolated themselves from them and their influence. Ā Skaikru were always heading in the direction of becoming another Mt. Weather (one of the first comparisons grounders make of them is to theĀ āmountain menā), hypocritical and responsible for at least one-thousand grounder deaths since they came to Earth.Ā
Bellamyās participation in a massacre, his open murder of two messengers and later, no one seriously calling him into account for it (especially Clarke and Indra who both had deep personal losses as a result – itās baffling) – is uncomfortably echoed in Octavia turning into an unrepentantĀ āassassinā – almost mockingly taking up her brotherās previousĀ āoccupationā and shaming him with it (yet Indra is āproud?ā Confounding character reasoning, not much a surprise, really). Killing to give Skaikru an advantage. Ā Neither deserve to be the ones to deliverĀ ājusticeā or point out the flaws of those around them. Ā Itās a painfully dishonest form of storytelling.
I donāt want to guess too much on this (Iām ALWAYS wrong), but Clarkeās shaking gun waving made me think of Titus, having also lost all hope, trying to shoot Clarke to get Lexa to go to war. Ā Here, Clarke is, as far as we can tell, trying to prevent what could be a mob of angry grounders from getting in and wiping them out (as, if this all holds true, they deserve – and Titus is exonerated as Lexa rolls in her non-existent grave) – but what if the gun goes off and hits someone else? Ā Iāve been curious why Abby has been so seldom-seen (and whose death might shake Clarke back to her senses?). Ā
