What would you change?

[u/Walkerbait1881]

Spoilers for all seasons here. If you could change one thing in the show what would it be. Could be a theory, the end, a character death, anything. Mine was I thought Bill was going to be A.L.I.E. 3. My theory came from what Becca said to A.L.I.E.

Perverse instantiation: the implementation of a benign final goal through deleterious methods unforeseen by a human program. Like killing 6.5 billion people to solve overpopulation. Or starting a war to transcend into greatness. The goal isn't everything, B.I.L.L. How you reach the goal matters, too. I'm sorry that I didn't teach you that

He had similar traits lol

Have Clarke actually get them out of the bunker. As much as I love Blodreina I wish they’d actually gotten out, felt like Clarke gave up to easily and she should’ve been able to clear that rubble.

Or have people actually take responsibility for what happened with Blodreina. Everyone blames Octavia but basically everything she did, not counting burning the farm, was in reaction to other people screwing her over. Hell her plan would’ve worked if Kane hadn’t betrayed them, but his betrayal doesn’t come up and they just blame Octavia for them dying.

she should’ve been able to clear that rubble.

I had a completely opposite reaction tbh. I was like "they are going to make her dig through tons of rubble on her own like it was nothing, just like they had her dig out the car with no tools at all?"

And then they didn't and I let out a sigh of relief. Like, really, this sort of thing isn't a one person job, even with heavy equipment (that Clarke didn't have), it makes perfect sense for her to look for another solution.

I get it wouldn't be easy, but she had the car and is smart. Even just starting from the top and figuring something out. Like it seemed she tried for a day and then just gave up. Of all the things they did on that show I feel like her blasting her way in or figuring something out wouldn't have even been out there.

The slabs that fall down after her rummaging through the rubble must weight a few tons each (the density of reinforced concrete is 2,5t per cubic meter). You can't cut through those without power tools. There's no moving it on your own and the car isn't going to be of much help, even if it's some awesome 2050 tech with hundreds of horsepower, it doesn't look like it weights more than a regular truck (so maybe 2t, 2,5t if you are generous and account for it being electric and having a bunch of heavy batteries), so if you try you're getting something like those videos of people ripping apart their vehicles by trying to tow something too heavy for the car's frame to bear. Setting out an explosive to clear the rubble would be the only reasonable course of action, but I can totally see Clarke not having any resources or the know-how for that. And even if she did - it might damage the hatch/bunker itself and that's too much risk. Because, remember, she isn't trying to open it just yet - it's been like what, two months maybe, it's too soon for the people inside to be able to leave.

As for her staying for one day - Polis is now in the middle of a wasteland. There's no water, no food, no real shelter besides maybe hiding in some hole and hoping it's not gonna collapse on your head. It's maybe 3 days before you're dead in those conditions. She still has 4+ years to figure something out. I'd leave too.
