Quote of the Week: “Our fight is over.” — Octavia Blake

[u/Bloodreina1993]

Things I liked:

- Murphy and Emori's mindspace scene

- Picasso surviving

- Octavia with the same war paint she used during the conclave (when she saved all humanity)

- Fake Lexa

- Hope and Jordan

- Octavia finally getting to live in peace with Levitt

​

What I did not like:

- The whole idea of transcendence being real

[u/AllPurposeGeek → u/Bloodreina1993]

I really wanted " transcendence" to just be a mistranslation and it actually be referring to the original city of light ran by A.L.I.E. and 'sanity and logic' win so humanity can NATURALLY continue.

[u/AnaKnight → u/AllPurposeGeek]

I agree, i hated how the ending sorta just cut off humanity’s possibility for a future after everything over all the seasons.
