what do you think of the script to screen they released? the one with clarke/Madi/echo?
Oh. My. Goodness. IT WAS GREAT!
It is all in the subtext my dears, allllllll in the subtext.
Yes, because she left him. Last she saw, Octavia had ordered the guards to take Bellamy, along with Indra and Gaia, to the pit. The pit, in which, he would fight to the death. He couldn’t possibly have won against them, right? Does this mean he killed Indra and Gaia? How could this be?
He survived. She can finally breathe again. The man she had called for 2,199 days didn’t die at the hands of her. He somehow made it out of that pit alive and well. But that means if she didn’t kill him then, she would kill him now. She gave McCreary the intel. And she would have to live with that regret of sending him right into the lines of fire. Now what?
Now she cares? Now!? She cared about him when no one else did. She gave him a chance and trusted him; Even when he had attempted to murder the chancellor; Even when he kicked out the pedestal beneath Murphy’s feet; Even when he made mistake after mistake, believed he was a monster who deserved to die; She believed in him because she saw the good in him. And to say after everything they went through, that she didn’t care until now? Unbelievable. She gave her life for that man.
Clarke was going to betray Bellamy, just as L.exa did to her, if she didn’t do something about it. Except this time, her love would not walk out of it alive. He would never come back from this betrayal. Could she really make this mistake again?
This whole script, paired with Eliza’s acting, just confirms the romantic feelings Clarke had, and still has for Bellamy. Fasten your seat belts y’all, we aren’t making it out of this alive.
