Thanks for posting this. I'm still not very happy with this development, though. While the parallel to current-day politics is pretty obvious, so you can hardly claim that they're being unrealistic (though I wish just ONE character would ask Pike and Bellamy "And then what? How does this keep us safe in the long run?"). But it feels way too much like a repeat of the Finn storyline from s2. For all the show does right, it treats the sky people vs grounders conflict way too much like the Western cliché of homesteaders vs wild injuns, and keeps going back to having the "civilized" characters murder innocent "savages" only so the "civilized" characters will have something to brood about. That was skeevy when John Wayne did it, and it's no less skeevy here.
