    Blood

    This episode centers on four groups of characters: Kane and his mission of peace, Clarke and the Ark survivors meeting and aftermath, Finn's quest to become crazy and some shady things at Mount Weather. It all together makes for another good episode for the series.

    Clarke's back, and angry. The people from the Ark are trigger happy and it has had bad consequences. And Finn and Murphy are still out there, and who knows what Mu... Finn can do. That Murphy, yeah, the mean-as-hell Murphy is the voice of reason in this episode says a thing about Finn's obsession with Clarke. Once down a path, it is very difficult to come back.

    But the show has lots more to offer. Kane's mission to make peace with the Grounders is nicely done. Kane is showing he can be stupid, but at least he's not heartless, and he knows that the path his govern was going down was a bad one (Finn should talk with him).

    And then there's Mount Weather. Monty is getting smarter and Jasper... well, he seems to be in love. That gives the chance to the people at Mount Weather to plan something bad... very bad. Will they get through with their plan? Well, if not, they still have Lincoln and their quest to make him a Reaper. They are becoming more than just a big bad. They are becoming a lunatic big bad. And there're no more dangerous foes than the crazy ones.

    Great acting, good action, and many more things to come. Right, Jaha?

    I agree with previous reviews...

    FINN. NEEDS. TO. DIE. I used to like Finn. Now I despise him. The show has never been great, and most of the characters are completely obnoxious and many of them are awful actors (Finn and Raven for 2 examples), but this episode is AWFUL. Finn acts like such a psychotic homicidal FREAK. And the leaders from the "ark" are ridiculously militant. NO one would want to live there/with them. I like Murphy more than I like Finn! Stupid show.

    This show does not belong on CW

    Personally, this show has now entered a different category of storytelling. Complex characters and arcs, intriguing story lines, much better acting than in season 1 from almost everyone and insanely dark. With a bigger budget and solid network backing, this could've been up there with Breaking Bad, GoT or at least Lost or Walking Dead.

    The ending of this episode is harrowing. Finn's descent into darkness and irrationality was brilliant and I like that, unlike in season 1, the writers took their time exploring this descent.

    I can't even explain how good this show is and this is by far the episode that solidified the notion that this is one of the greatest TV shows of all time for me.

    UNFAIR

    Finn massacres grounders, and he is.cleared. what a joke.... just when I thought it going good.... Murphy was banished for what ???? What about all the self righteous ones.....

    This is so messed up.

    This show messed character's feeling in the show. God, I felt bad for them. A lot of bad things happened. And it is interesting to see how it ends.

    • Trivia
      At about 20 mins 30 secs: Finn repeatedly asks the grounders who is in charge here. The leader of the grounders raises a calming hand to his people and tells them to "Stay Calm" in his native tongue, Grounder Creole (per the subtitles).

      The words he speaks sounds nearly identical to the English slang phrase "Chill out."
