Murphy and Clarke. Their dynamic is just FASCINATING to me. Every interaction is just so full of feeling; layers and layers that just keep getting more and more complicated as the show progresses. Both of them have done a lot of bad and both of them know it. Despite how much bad blood they have, neither can justify demonizing the other because they’re well aware that they are also guilty. They clearly have some level of respect for each other as the show goes on, but they can’t really justify being *friends* either thanks to all of the bad blood from the past. They both have had mutual friends, and they’ve had mutual enemies. They have both hurt each other, and have both helped each other. They have shared trauma, but they’re also caused each other trauma. Their backstories are also mirrored: Clarke is from a privileged family, her dad tried to help her and the rest of their people and got floated for it. Murphy is presumably middle to lower class, his father tried to help him and got floated for it. They both fell out with their mom afterwards, but Clarke got reconciliation with hers while Murphy didn’t. Clarke took on a leadership role and as a result a lot of people grew to respect her and depend on her, and she does her best to help them. At the same time, this means when things go wrong or hard decisions have to be made, Clarke gets the brunt of the blame and anger. Murphy is the group delinquent which means a lot of people blame him for things that aren’t his fault, just like Clarke. But also like Clarke, people come to him for uglier jobs because he’s actually weirdly dependable in certain situations. Their priorities are also similar with just slight differences; Clarke is “my group must survive at all costs,” whereas Murphy is “I must survive at all costs.” Murphy is often portrayed as the bad guy for his version of ‘survival above all else’ mentality, but really why is it different? If you’re prioritizing your people over anyone else, that really isn’t THAT different from prioritizing yourself above all else, especially when you’re an outcast (like Murphy), making YOU your own people. Murphy and Clarke are actually SUPER similar with just a few key differences that make them SEEM super different without really digging into it. And honestly? I think they come to understand and respect this about one another. That’s the vibe I get from their relationship anyways. Just pay close attention to their interactions, and maybe if you have some free time/are bored some day once you’re caught up, rewatch some of their scenes from compilations or something. Every single one of their interactions is just brimming with complexity and it just keeps getting more and more complicated with every season. They hit like every major platonic relationship trope: enemies to friends, friends to enemies, rivals, foils/mirrors, they’re both often scapegoats, etc. Absolutely insane relationship, probably my favorite in the whole show, and WAY under appreciated by fans.
Romantic relationships are not a beautiful thing. There's a lot of dangers and risks to romantic relationships, so they should be avoided. The concept of romance should be removed from this world. Most parents hate the idea of their daughter dating and getting married someday and want them to be single for their whole life because of how dangerous romantic relationships are, while most of the time, they're ok with their daughter having platonic friends. That's because romantic relationships are far more dangerous than platonic relationships are. Most parents (both fathers and mothers) who have daughters are hoping their daughter never dates or get married and remain single for their whole life because it's much safer to be single than it is to be in a romantic relationship.
I have a question. How do males and females bond with each other? I don't see how men and women can bond (especially romantically) with each other. Men and women think very differently from each other. It seems like it's impossible for men and women to emotionally connect with each other. I heard that gay and lesbian couples are happier than straight couples are, and I heard that gay and lesbian relationships are healthier than straight relationships are. The more similar you are to someone, the more easier it is to bond and connect with them. People of the same sex/gender understand each other more easily, and there are no inbuilt societal power imbalances as there are between opposite-sex couples. Gay and lesbian couples understand each other better than straight couples do (due to them being the same gender as each other). I heard that most straight couples are not happy being together, and I heard that people who are straight are much happier and much better off being single than they are being in a romantic relationship.
Conner & Oliver we don't really like watching your gay love! Oliver you need to change your stupid smile and stutter les. Yes, and Olever, your mother, you need to behave more delicately around people. In short, it is not pleasant to look at your love and how you undress, kiss, ets.😕😕
I did not like this episode at all, cause all it does is make black men look bad, black men cannot do anything positive in this show, it's always something negative!
Athena deserves Award good actor she Breakdown at the end Bobby held her tight didn’t let go I even cried so sad go to tell his mom find the killer who her son hardest thing ever had to do
This show has made me tear up so many times, but the episode with young Athena and her fiancee.... I was boo hooing like a baby!! In the last scene, the cross between telling Emmitt's mom he died and then telling her she found the person.... was so raw!! The way Bobby holds her while she let's it all go... whew!!! Angela has been robbed to many times of the awards she deserved!!!
I must say, I completely lost it at the end of this show. Everyone that witnessed this episode got emotional. It's a testament to Angela's excellent acting. Bravo
God, I absolutely love this show❤ This may be a controversial thing to say, but Lone Star just doesn't hit the same, in my opinion. I just don't get the same vibe that would make me love the show the same way.
I just love this show, no way anybody outside from yt didnt saw this, its just gold. This couldve sell as much as strangers things(maybe not that much, but surely some what of that) and they just shutted off. Sadly but at least we have room for a reboot with that last scene in season 2. Gold, gold and gold, just unbeliavable how good yt writers were back in the day compared with streaming services now that are almost like copy and paste everywhere.
I just wanna mention the fighting pit bc lot of people say that it’s completely messed up. But it was kind of a -no choice- thing. If they were going to survive past five years down there, population reduction was necessary… There’s some things about the pits that’s better, and some that’s worse, but at least with the pits, people were given the chance to fight for their lives rather than simply being executed like on the Ark. But it did become worse because it became a sport that people cheered on. P.s. I don’t know how Bellamy could stand in an arena stained in TONS of blood, and really think that all 1200 people survived in that bunker 😭. He had a little too much hope there. Anyway, the fighting pit isn’t as bad as people say it is. It was something forced on them, and by using the fighting pit, Octavia was atleast trying to give her people a chance to fight for their lives instead of executions.
