I’m sorry but I simply can’t come to terms with the fact that my favorite show ended with aliens turning the human race in glowing orbs of light and dancing light trees. But not you Clarke! You’re not worthy of being eternal light! Nope. Clarke is the worst person in the history of humanity and is the only person in the universe who can’t tRanScEnD.

Bellamy literally died for NOTHING. I’m not a bellarke shipper. Not even a big Bellamy fan (until the later seasons) but what happened to him made no sense. Especially considering that he was technically right. He should’ve been there at the end. Same with my baby diyoza.

Moral of the story? Only aliens have the right to commit genocide based on their own faulty morals. Not Clarke Griffin. Roll credits.

Edit: my first reddit award!!! Thank you redditkru!!

I also hate that Clarke got the shaft. I actually.. really like her.

But as for Bellamy dying for nothing, I’m just going to assume that it was meaningful because he would have found a way to have cadogan take and fail the test without intervention. Even though Bellamy was right about transcendence, he put too much faith in the psychopath cadogan and was still a sheep.

Bellamy dying, bought some time before Madi was discovered. Whether it was a few hours/days, what ever. It still bought some time, and that is what was needed to set the rest of the shit in motion. I have issues with the finale, and season/series as a whole. But that is not one of my issues, other then sorta liking belamy.

bellamy dying didn't brought time , because when they travel to earth, cadogan was with them, so he already know were maddy was. She killed bellamy to get the book, to not let cadogan have them and know that maddy could knew the code, but since she didn't reach the book before going on earth, killed him was useless( right, she didn't know that she couldn't get to the book and make the death of bellamy useless but afterall it was ..)
