"Survival isn't who you are. It's who you become."

Premise
A century after Earth was made uninhabitable by a nuclear war, the survivors - descendants of the crews of several space stations orbiting at the time - send down a hundred teenagers to the surface in a desperate bid to find out whether it is habitable again. The teenagers, each convicted of (largely petty) crimes and thus "expendable", are now alone on a (supposedly) uninhabited planet while, on the Ark, the adults try and find a way to eke out their dwindling resources. Each group is split by opposing agendas and interpersonal conflicts, fighting to survive not just their environments as well as each other.

Bellamy leads his crew into Grounder territory as they search for Octavia. Raven can’t help but notice the deep connection between Finn and Clarke. Meanwhile, flashbacks reveal Bellamy’s and Octavia’s childhood on the Ark.

Jasper and Octavia are just so cute! I like that, first time she got out, he was there although I'm not convinced he'd remember her like a year plus later. But it was cute how determined he was to go and get her. (Although, seriously, Octavia sweetie, stop having to get rescued by the boys. She can't take a swim without needing rescued. She can't walk down a hill without needing rescued. She can't make her own escape without being rescued. She couldn't even unlock her own padlock without Bellamy there to help her with the key, although props to her for managing to knock out that Grounder).

Raven and Clarke both show themselves to be too good for Finn. Raven gives them a specific timescale for how long they've been down there - Ten days - which seems completely unlikely given how much Jasper has recovered from a giant spear to the chest and massive infection already. Also it means the Council gave the kids less than ten days before it decided to kill a bunch of people. Not cool. Did they just fail to plan any contingencies in at all?

Bellamy! Poor Bellamy. From the day Octavia was born he was given way too much responsibility, he wrecked his own career/security before it even started trying to look out for her, and then made a mistake that got his Mom killed and his sister locked up. And it was Kane's right hand dude who got Bellamy to shoot the Chancellor (with only twenty minutes to decide whether to ever see his sister again)!! No wonder Bellamy looked so releived last week when Raven told him that the Chancellor was ok- he wasn't part of some long drawn out conspiracy he was just drafted at the last minute and has probably been running on adrenalin ever since. I like him more now that he's settling down and letting all that bravado slip. Although I wonder whether that's because he's kind of got rid off his main competition for leader with Wells and Murphy and has decided Clarke is useful (and he kind of digs her). :)

Oh and, needs more Grounders!! Like actual fleshed out information Grounders. :)
