The Resident (with mum) 2x17 Betrayal

Unfortunately, when Nic and Conrad take on a patient needing the hospital's only viable ECMO machine, they must decide between saving the life of Abe or saving the life of their younger, more stable patient. Meanwhile, Marshall puts himself in serious danger to help take down Gordon Page once and for all.

Oh, to be hugged by Nic Nevin as my not-boyfriend nearly dies from mono-induced pneumonia. They were right to give him the ecmo but it is a travesty at the state of current healthcare that they had to choose in the first place. Also, that car chase and explosion was pretty epic for a tv show.

Workin' Moms (with mum) 1x13 Having It All (Season Finale)

Kate faces a new challenge as a working mom. Jenny faces reality. Alice surprises Anne in a positive way. Frankie gives her best shot to resolve things.

So proud of the moms: Anne making responsible decisions and trying to be a more emotionally available parent. Kate for realizing her life needs a healthier work/life balance. Frankie for accepting that she needs help with her mental health. And lastly Jenny, girl wyd??

Eureka (rw) 2x05 Duck, Duck Goose

Debris starts raining down on Eureka on the day of the school's science fair, and there may be a connection to Zoe.

Much to love and laugh about: Carter's gym outfit and his stretching techniques, his Jeep being destroyed yet again, his replacement s.a.r.a.h.-driven clown car, him getting hilariously immobilized because Jo purposely didn't pass along a message from security, Jo wearing swat tactical gear to watch over the high school science fair, Zoe being a genuis and helping to save the day.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters 1x08 Birthright

The team goes back to where things all began to confront Shaw. On the brink of collapse, Monarch takes drastic measures.

Is Keiko still alive somehow? Are they going to find her through the portal?? How did it happen/What happened to Lee when he first went through??? If neither is the biological father did Hiroshi call Billy and Lee "Dad"???? Is Keiko still alive somehow?????

[phantasmicfish]

Watching the finale and five minutes in.... Bryan’s conviction when he promises to protect Finola’s father for as long as it takes is awesome.

Debris 1x13 "Celestial Body": rewatch Reaction'd, questions and comments

So if all those people are experiencing emotional convergence, who are they converging from? Who's sending the emotional signal that the debris is channeling, or is it the debris manifesting it's "consciousness" in a way that we can understand it by way of human conduits?

Maddox is clearly trading debris pieces with Irina (perhaps the piece that he took out of storage off the books), and Irina is on the phone with presumably her handler/ boss to negotiate this trade. She gives him lateral (which I assume means latitudinal) readings and then he asks for longitudinal readings which we don't get to hear. They are: Lateral 105, 112, 115, 120, 113, 110, 109

What's the significance of these measures? Latitude goes from 0° to 90° from the equator, so that doesn't track unless the scene is cut wrong and they're meant to be longitudinal (E/W) readings, which go to 180° relative to the prime meridian. That would make more sense, because after Irina is done with the first set of readings, the unknown caller on the phone says "drop to level two for vertical" and latitudes are North/South.

If we're talking Western longitudes, notable landmarks include: Denver, Salt Lake City UT / Phoenix AZ / nearly Sedona AZ - aka where the telesphere went, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe/ Nevada border, Great Salt Lake, Alberta-Saskatchewan border, and the Utah-Arizona border.

Or perhaps they're not part of terrestrial measurement at all. The act of "lateral reading" could just mean verifying your sources/accuracy as you go, where as vertical reading is reading for content first to see if something is worth evaluating for sources.

However, if they are part of coordinates, then is the fragment that Maddox is trading with Irina a legitimate "mapmaker" piece like George previously said Influx was seeking? Ya know, when he lied to his daughter. Can a mapmaker piece track moving/animate debris akin to the telesphere? Are those black dust cloud beings George is running from made up of animate debris?

Bryan: After becoming a parent you're in a heightened emotional state, emotionally raw.

George: Higher highs, lower lows, the joy of having a child, the postpartum depression, and the fear of getting it wrong.

Me: Are we in a pensive, self-reflective mood, George? Are you practicing your pub trivia Bryan, delivering exposition, or are you speaking from personal character experience? Seriously, how would you know?!

John Noble as Otto, man why does he always make such a good villain?

What is with the cryptic vagueness when Maddox tells Irina, "You know I can't let you leave with that case right? I mean you know that. There's another door for you Irina, one that only you can go through." They seemed almost on good terms in a previous episode, like friends or something more in a past life "nice car, i almost left / no you didn't", he wouldn't kill her, would he? Or is it more like a code between them, a sort of "I'm being watched, take the back exit"?

Hey, so why is it that sometimes George's eye seems opaque and damaged from the debris implant, but then when he's talking to Finola after he distracts Bryan while being Debris whisperer, his eye seems fine? PS: I googled Tyrone Benskin just to see what he looks like when he's not playing George Jones and I didn't know he's a former member of Canadian Parliament. Don't trust the government, eh?

George: "You're such a compassionate person, you always have been. So much of your mother in you." That's the second time that Finola's mother has been mentioned in the series, back from the pilot. Is it a coincidence that the first piece of debris that chose to interact with Finola resonated her mom? More than just Finola's desire being reflected by the debris, but the debris emoting it's first impression of her as someone compassionate that it can trust?

It also raises my heckles that George repeats, almost word for word, something that Finola said in episode 3. "If we can't help people, we do not deserve this debris / if we don't use this debris on these people, we are not worthy to have it." Are father and daughter that ideologically similar, or has he been spying on her progress this whole time, or both?

George: "I took my life to allow myself a rebirth, I paid the price. I want you to know that not one day goes by that I don't think of you and your sister. I want you to know this." This coincides with my initial impression that George staged his death to get away from Orbital after he assessed how his research was being used/abused.

George: "You never wanted to go into the pool, I had to throw you in, and you kicked and screamed, but you always did better that way." Immabout to throw you George, just keep talking!!!! I'm sorry, this charicature of absentee father reminiscing about the good old days really ticks me off from personal experience.

Also, as a person with a disability, I am not particularly pleased with the use of Dario as a plot device instead of a thoughtful character with a backstory at this point in the show for 13 whole episodes now. Pretty pissed off actually, so they better do something phenomenal and pivotal with Christian Rose (Dario) in season 2 [maybe have his character interact with debris in a similar way to Caroline]. But that's another rant about ableism in screenwriting for another angry day....

George: "A telesphere was born yesterday. It came from a pocket dimension inside Orbital. I think it's birth may have triggered the debris." This is perhaps the one-ish episode that I find George remotely interesting and also infuriating, particularly because of the way he speaks, like he's finally taken off the guise of the old, well-meaning eccentric and turned into a sharp, cunning, and at times calculatingly ruthless individual. I find it peculiar that he says a telesphere is born. Makes me think that the debris is not just part of a spacecraft, but a hybrid of the beings piloting that craft.

I get tremendous satisfaction from Finola head-butting people. This should continue.

I'm not familiar with all of the work of JH Wyman to know if this is a running theme or an ongoing joke. But does he keep his writing staff in a constant state of starvation? Is that why pieces of debris are called "Nachos", and why Influx has "Beans" to shield them from debris side effects, and why Bryan is always eating junk food? Should I be worried about the writer's room and start sending them healthy snacks?!? Just give me an SOS in the credit roll.

Speaking of: is the "Bean" that Finola ingested a piece of debris? Similar to the pieces of debris that fused with Anson Ash? Will it impart some physical benefits to her moving forward?

"I won't lose you again...you belong with me." What are you talking about George Jones, you made the conscious decision to leave your family. You didn't lose Finola, she lost you. In this version of reality at least. Or (unscripted backstory) did Jones and his wife separate prior to her death / was Finola brought up mostly by her mother? That doesn't seem the case if she was buying her father birthday presents and took it upon herself to settle his affairs after his death.

Why do the Influx Operatives Otto and Anson have tattoos on their hands, but not Loeb? Is he like the low end of the totem pole FNG who hasn't earned his stripes, hence why Otto gives him s***: aka "Careful you cretin. All the finesse of a butcher."

What is the hierarchy of Influx anyway? Despite being an anti-government "for the people/ elevate the human consciousness" organization they do still seem to have a governing hierarchy and Otto and George seem to be on the same level, pretty high in rank / they talk with confidence to each other like they go back a while.

What is that weird thing that Otto does with his hands to Bryan's head? What are all the weird things Otto does, including his massacre at the petrol station? Ick.

Why is it that Leob and George are freaked out by the black smoke (debris particle?) man, but Anson and Otto aren't? They seem to see them(?), but don't overtly react.

Bryan: "It seems like we're entering some kind of new phase." Gee where have I heard that one before? Oh yeah, the story of "Blackwater grandfather" and the black wind that they're still teasing endlessly while refusing to tether it into some kind of world building lore. Agggghh!

Lololol, Bryan and Finola's dynamic even in the midst of a very serious episode makes me laugh. "Devon Reese / two e's? / Two e's!" "This one smells like baby diapers. Almost as bad as the tech section of the plane/ You mean your section of the plane. / Almost." That zinger 👍

Paraphrasing Bryan: "[recapping, recap, and did I mention recap]...something about George doesn't feel right." Personal pet peeve: I HATE IT when episodes have intentional explanatory lines like this to point out the fact that we as audience are privy to information that the main characters aren't. Not only does it make the main characters seem less intelligent, it breaks the fourth wall a little bit and gives the impression that the audience, which is ahead of the plot, is not as intelligent and needs a reminder that we're ahead. Lackadaisical writing drives me nuts!!! I can't outright say that it's "bad" dialogue, but it's not a choice I would make if I wanted uninterrupted viewer immersion.

Finola: "My instincts are good" Me: You are an emotionally intelligent decision maker with gaping personal blind spots.

George: You belong with me, your father.

Finola: My father died six months ago, and you are not him.

Me: Chef's kiss 👏👏👏

Otto: "It would never have worked out with that girl [Finola], not in any iteration." Definitely makes me lean towards the fan theory that the alt!Finola in (presumably) suspensia in Sedona Arizona got plucked from another reality.

Surprisingly, the ending credit roll has no voiceover as all the previous episodes of the season have. Disappointed that there's no potential teaser to a season 2 if the show gets renewed. But I find it curious that the extras who were demonstrating emotional convergence were credited as: chess board persons. Not sure if that's relevant, but I definitely feel like this show is playing games with me and my emotions.

Trama

Quando un misterioso relitto inizia a cadere dal cielo, un'agenzia internazionale segreta ha il compito di capire di cosa si tratta, da dove proviene e, soprattutto, cosa può fare. L'agente inglese Finola Jones e l'agente americano Bryan Beneventi sono partner che hanno stili molto diversi: lei è calda, intuitiva e attenta ai dettagli, lui è affascinante, sicuro di sé e guardingo. Ma non hanno altra scelta che fidarsi l'uno dell'altro mentre rintracciano i detriti sparsi nell'emisfero occidentale. Ogni frammento ha effetti imprevedibili, potenti e talvolta pericolosi sulle persone comuni che lo trovano. Ogni scoperta è anche una corsa contro il tempo, perché oscure forze esterne cercano questi oggetti per scopi nefandi.

liz coming along and helping because she just can’t help herself. all the soft little scenes. touching belongings and talking and sharing memories of what they’re about.

but also liz offhandedly making a comment about the last time this happened… (echo reuniting in the debris at max’s house in 1x13 and sleeping together for the first time). them both looking away like 😳🤭 but also liz can’t make herself leave before history repeats itself in that house 😌

Debris 1x13 “Celestial Body”/S1 Finale

Under the cut because it got long.

I had no time to meta about episodes 10-12, so I’ll just mention a few things I don’t want to forget.

I loved the duo of episodes 9 & 10 with different realities and Bryan and Finola looking for a way back to each other along the Sean and Katherine, though it was a bummer they didn’t remember anything.

So, Bryan is a war criminal and Maddox saved him from prison – that was narratively brilliantly done with foreshadowing in the previous episode’s alternate reality.

I’m sure there were other things of worth, but me and my memory. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now, the finale.

It was so good.

We finally got quite a few answers (even though some questions remain/appeared anew).

As some people suspected, George turned out to be working for Influx. And they want to ‘help’ humanity ‘transcend’ to a higher level of consciousness using the debris. No matter how many individual people they sacrifice in the process. Very philanthropic.

So, that’s what the ‘this technology will be free’ line form earlier in the season, repeated by George, was about. And apparently debris is enabling some sort of mind-reading(something/whatever Otto was capable of doing with Bryan)/telepathy/interconnection between minds/hive consciousness.

George had no qualms about Bryan losing his memory, but Bryan wasn’t affected due to the injections he’s been taking as a precaution since a previous incident with debris involving Garcia and another agent. Good to know that Maddox is actually helping.

Speaking of Maddox, obviously Bryan and Finola decided to tell him everything (just didn’t get to it by the end.)

Meanwhile, it turned out that Maddox’s dealing with the Russians was of personal nature in order to acquire the piece of debris that would help/cure his son.

Just in time, as Julia almost committed suicide.

Damn, now I feel sympathetic towards Maddox.

Though, what did he do with Irina? Probably killed her, I doubt she let him take the debris without a fight of that he let her just walk away.

And then we saw the ball of light find a native American man and followed him into a cave where Seb Roche’s character (Brill or whoever/whatever he/it is) was waiting to ‘begin’ something with either a clone or the original Finola in cryostasis (like the people from the toxic air episode).

And then the episode ended.

And then I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night (not because of the show)and peeked at twitter, as you may have seen, and found out that NBC cancelled the show.

Which I’d expected, but it still made me angry, probably more that I’d be otherwise because it was after such an intriguing season finale.

Also, yeah, I noticed NBC pulling its old tricks, cancelling shows right after the finale, so they were able to milk all the advertising money from every last view they could. :/ *sigh*

A least it was good while it lasted. It was a really good shown, in which once for a change the suspense didn’t hang on (romantic) relationship drama. And I particularly liked the partnership between Bryan and Finola, which could have perhaps become one of the iconic ones if the show continued.

But, it is what it is. Despite being cancelled, I’m glad I’ve watched it. Maybe it’s even better this way, because it ended on a good note and I’ll have good memories of it instead of it being potentially ruined in the future like it tends to happen with TV shows all too often.

[kinnsporsche]

we can raise a little family (maybe we'll be alright)

Whilst waiting for Michael at his trailer, Alex witnesses a crash and gets much more than he bargains for.

Alternatively: a post 1x13 fix-it-au.

word count: 2k

read on ao3

If there was one thing Alex hated most in the world, it was waiting. Waiting meant silence and silence meant more time for him to get lost in his head; and that was not a place he wanted to let himself get lost in.

But Michael had promised that they would talk today, and so he was content to wait for him. He’d spent years of his life turning away and running but now… now he was done. Now he would plant his feet firmly in the ground and say no more, no more running, this is who I am, and this is who I want.

At least, he would if the person he wanted showed up.

He’d waited an hour before he gave in to the restlessness. His good leg ached from disuse and he could feel the phantom aches twinging where his other leg used to be. He’d paced around the junkyard for a while, fingertips skimming across beat-up old cars and whatever else he could get a hold of to occupy his mind for a while.

He waited another hour before texting Isobel. She’d insisted he take her number when he first came back into town; she’d told him it was in case she needed help planning the parade she knew he didn’t want. Alex wonders if that’s true now.

The reply didn’t come until the third hour, and by then the weather had shifted to a light drizzle. He’d taken shelter inside Michael’s airstream, alternating between sitting on the edge of the bed and taking in the numerical sequences and equations that were littered across the walls. Right, Michael was still trying to leave the planet. He’d have to talk to him about that.

Noah’s gone, everything’s fine. We’ll be fine.

Alex had wanted to press. He’d wanted to push the subject until Isobel told him where Michael was and why he wasn’t answering his phone and why he was anywhere but here when here is exactly where he’d promised he would be.

Then he remembered everything she’d been through in the last few days and decided against it. He’d dropped the conversation with a quick thanks, take care.

His phone ended up half way across the trailer.

He wasn’t sure how much time passed after that. When he opened his eyes next, there was silence. The rain wasn’t pounding against the outside of the trailer and the pieces of scrap metal that Sanders had hung around the place weren’t banging against each other anymore.

Alex hissed when he tried to move, a twinge of pain shooting up his leg. Sleeping with his prosthetic was never a good idea; he’d definitely be paying for that for the rest of the night. When he finally managed to find his phone – thankfully nestled against what Alex knew was the bloody shirt Michael had peeled off in a hurry the night before – the clock told him he’d been asleep for just over two hours. He let out a litany of curses before he pushed the airstream door open, calling out Michael’s name. His truck wasn’t back though, and there were no fresh tire tracks in the gravel.

He checked his phone. Nothing.

He checked around for a note, hoping maybe he’d just missed him. Nothing.

He checked around for any sign that Michael Guerin hadn’t stood him up. Nothing.

God, he hoped he was wrong. Maybe Michael just needed space. Space from the world after everything that had happened to him the past few days, space from his home and his friends, space from him.

Still, those thoughts did nothing to stop his heart from shattering in his chest.

Alex turned and marched back to his car, shaking hands searching his jacket for the keys that he struggled to get into the lock. He cursed when he dropped them, hands braced against the roof of the car with his head nestled on them. He squeezed his eyes shut tight like he used to do when he was a child and it felt like the world wanted to go to war with him.

He counted to five.

Inhaled.

Exhaled.

And picked up his keys.

Something bright caught his attention in the reflection of his car window and for a second; for a bright, beautiful second; he let himself have hope. He let himself think it was Michael’s truck pulling up. That he’d just let the voice in his head run riot again and that Michael was actually here like he said he would be. If he could bottle a moment and live in it forever, he’d choose that one.

Logically, though, he knew the reflection was too high up on his window and the world wasn’t kind enough to let it be headlights.

Alex turned, an explanation for why he’d been hanging out here for the past half a dozen hours on the tip of his tongue but saw nobody. Instinctively, he glanced up.

And that was when he saw it.

The lights were faint; if he didn’t know any better he would assume that it was just someone flying a drone or setting off a dud firework. But this was Roswell, and he knew better. In the distance the light grew brighter and expanded somewhat before disappearing just beyond the horizon.

This time when Alex fumbled with his keys, his hands weren’t shaking.

-

It took Alex longer than he would care to admit to find the crash site – in his defence, he was a codebreaker, not a navigator. He could follow instructions easily enough but eyeballing a crash site in the middle of the desert wasn’t exactly an easy task.

The crash site was small, the debris from whatever it was that crashed hadn’t spread far and as far as he could see, it hadn’t shattered into very many pieces. There was maybe half a dozen glowing iridescent pieces scattered a few feet away from him surrounding something small and circular.

He briefly remembered Michael telling him about their pods, but this one seemed different. For starters, it was tiny; it was small enough that he could probably carry it around without any difficulty. And second, it was smoking. That didn’t exactly seem like something it should be doing.

A high-pitched sound from a few paces away caught his attention and he whipped his head in that direction, heartbeat picking up in his chest when he caught movement underneath some sort of tarp. Alex crossed over to it and gripped one of the corners. He took a breath, counted to five again, and whipped it off.

Shock consumed him, and for a good few seconds he stood motionless as he took in the scene before him.

On the floor in front of him under the New Mexico sky, was a baby. A happy, gurgling baby whose hands were curled into fists and outstretched towards him. A happy, gurgling, alien baby that had just crashed from the sky. A happy, gurgling, alien baby that had only been covered by the tarp in the middle of the desert.

“Oh my god.” Alex shrugged his leather jacket off once he’d regained control of his motor functions and gently scooped the babbling baby up in his arms. He draped the jacket around her, hand rubbing small circles over her back when she nestled against his shoulder and started cooing quietly. He could already feel a small patch of drool seeping through his shirt and onto his shoulder.

“What happened here, hm?” Alex asked, more to himself than to the bumbling baby in his arms. As far as he knew, there hadn’t been another crash since 1947. So why now? And why the hell send down a baby? Michael and the others were kids when they came out of their pods, so why was this different?

With a sigh, Alex walked over to his car and swung open the passenger door. He made sure the baby was warm in his jacket and moved to set her down gently on the seat. He almost dropped her when she let out the most blood curdling cry he’d ever heard – a cry that stopped as soon as she was leaning back against his shoulder.

“Okay, okay! Note to self, don’t put the baby down.”

Alex glanced around at the debris scattered around and groaned; this was going to be much harder with only one hand free. He stored it all away in the trunk of his car, doing his best to hide the broken iridescent alien pod that he was now hiding in his car. When he was sure he had it all, he closed the trunk with a gentle thud, so he didn’t irritate the baby, and walked around the side of his car.

A twinge of pain shot up his leg when he sat down behind the wheel, and the hand that wasn’t holding onto the baby shot down to grip just above the point where his prosthetic met his leg. He manoeuvred her so that she was sitting on his lap instead of against his shoulder and tried desperately to work out the cramp that was sending spasms of phantom pain down his leg.

The baby let out an irritated gurgle, but Alex had his eyes squeezed shut tight as he tried to remember how to breathe – his physical therapist had taught him some breathing exercises that were supposed to get him through the pain, but the pain seemed to be the only thing he could focus on.

And then it stopped.

Alex’s eyes flew open. It took a few moments to adjust to something other than the darkness that had been blocking out his vision moments ago, but when he finally did he saw a small hand resting on his arm and a pair of wide brown eyes looking up at him. The baby cooed when their gazes met, moving her hand away to reveal a glowing, iridescent handprint on his skin.

“Holy shit-” Alex’s eyes were wide as he stared down at the mark. The baby giggled in response and slapped a small hand over her mouth.

“Language, right. Don’t swear around tiny alien babies. Got it.” He stared at the handprint on his arm for a few more seconds, watching the way the colours shifted as he turned his arm in the light.

“I think we need to have a conversation about leaving handprints on strangers, young lady,” Alex hummed, unable to stop himself from beaming at the gentle gurgle he got in response. The baby nuzzled back up against him and closed her eyes, mouth opening in a small yawn that he should not have found adorable in the slightest.

“No, listen you can’t sleep here I have to drive us home-.”

Alex cut himself off, eyebrows furrowing for a moment. Us? Home?

“I mean I have to drive us back to my place whilst I figure out what to do, and it’s definitely illegal for you to be sleeping in my lap.” The baby didn’t move though, just curled a small hand in his shirt and closed her eyes. He could have sworn the smile on her face held a hint of smugness.

The internal debate on whether or not to move her lasted all of three seconds before he was reminded of the wail she let out earlier and he decided to let her stay.

“If a cop tries to pull us over and I have to outrun them, you’re in big trouble missy.”

Alex started up the car and put it into drive, one hand on the wheel and the other rubbing small circles into the babies back over his leather jacket. If he drove ten miles under the speed limit the whole way home, nobody had to know besides him and the precious cargo that he was carrying in his lap.

Debris 1x13 "Celestial Body" ★★★★★★★★★★

[fire-of-the-sun]

Marcus Kane: Sacrifice

My thoughts on the self-sacrificing nature of Marcus Kane.

I can’t think of a single instance in which Marcus Kane has ever been truly selfish. Even his aloof, colder persona in season 1A was a result of years worth of participating in a merciless system he believed at the time was saving his people. It’s the code from which they’ve operated for generations and it’s tragic to think that in trying to save humanity, he lost his own humanity in the process. It scraped away his soul, piece by piece, punishment by punishment until he’s only a shell of the man he once was. He certainly didn’t carry out the law and perform those acts because it was personally gratifying. There was never a time in which Kane ever looks pleased with himself for what he had to do and he often preceded his actions with the statement that he was "given no choice”. His sorrowful demeanor before, during and after the shock lashing is evidence enough of this. He did it though, because at the end of the day, he wants to safeguard humanity and this is the only way he knew how at the time. A necessary evil for the ‘greater good’...

He clearly maintains a façade of apathy and confidence for others, but underneath it all is a well of feeling he’s been holding at bay for years, which finally spills over after the Culling. When he makes a mistake, miscalculates and hundreds die in vain, his mask crumbles. When the construct of the law that had been his constant guide and companion for years abandoned him, he abandoned it, beginning a journey inward to tear down the walls he erected (perhaps unknowingly) and rediscover who he was and who he truly is underneath the falseness of what he had become. By the end of 2x03, the last vestiges of his old, law-abiding self is truly gone. The law had influenced his decisions one last time, but no more. Things had to change and not just for him, but for all of them and this is the source of Kane’s change as a character, allowing the selfless man at his core to shine through.

SEASON 1:

In 1x11, we see the first clear start to the trend of risking his life to save others. In the chaos after the Ark goes dark, there’s no need to maintain that façade of authority and his true self is exposed. It’s our first true look at the real Kane - one not acting as an authority figure, but just a man wanting to save others regardless of the cost to himself. He stops at nothing to save Wick and any other survivors he can find before proceeding to stay behind to clear away debris to save Jaha and the others who are trapped. His actions inspire the others to stay behind and risk their lives to help as well. Almost immediately after successfully saving Jaha, Sinclair and co. they discover people may be alive in a remote vent and he doesn’t hesitant to volunteer himself to save them - braving the sweltering heat of the cramped space to try and find more survivors, rewarded in his efforts when he finds them and Abby alive and safe.

In 1x13, Kane attempts his first major sacrifice for his people by volunteering to stay behind to die on the Ark to ensure the others make it to Earth. It’s a decision that is foiled by Jaha, who has the same idea and beats him to it, but the intention still counts. If given the opportunity, he easily would have attempted to dissuade Jaha and take his place. 

SEASON 2:

At this point on his journey, some part of him feels dying is a way to atone for his sins. Dying to save the people he believes he’s hurt the only way he can think to redeem his soul. I don’t think it’s completely guilt that drives him though. Instead, his natural motivation to help has just been bolstered tenfold by recent failures and the need to redeem himself. It’s a journey he takes for himself of course, and not for the benefit of being seen fondly in the eyes of others from his acts of heroism, but to genuinely help them and find peace with himself. At this point, he also believes he has no one and his death wouldn’t matter or affect anyone either.

Due to this, he continues to risk his life in season 2 as he ventures on a dangerous mission to try and contact the Grounder’s Commander and secure peace for his people, knowing full well what the natives are capable of and he may be walking into a trap. He does it anyway though to give his people a chance for a better future on the ground that isn’t under the constant fear of death. Imprisoned with Jaha in 2x06, they’re given the ultimatum that one must die for there to be a chance for peace and Kane, once again, doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for that opportunity. 

He was also willing to stay behind, buried and wounded after the bombing of TonDC, to suffer and potentially die so that Abby can spend her time trying to find and save others instead of him. He doesn’t want to come before anyone else and never sees himself as worthy of being saved. I love that Abby does offer him this though: validation that he deserves to be saved too and that he matters to her. It’s the first real occasion in which anyone has shown genuine concern for him and he looks stunned by her pledge not to abandon him.

SEASON 3:

His entire rebellion against Pike in season 3 was one big sacrifice. He knows the odds are stacked against him and that his efforts will most likely ‘go South’, but he does it anyway. He does it so that someone else doesn’t have to. If he’s going to be caught and executed, then better he die than another. If someone has to get their hands dirty to pull this off, better his hands are sullied than someone else’s.

At the beginning of 3x08, Kane turns down Harper’s idea to shock lash Pike and hand him over to the Grounders as it would be ‘murder’ and ‘treason’. In the end though, that’s the only option Kane has left and is forced to concede to regardless of how he feels about it morally. Pike’s hate-fueled actions were going to destroy everything he, Clarke and others have been striving for since they landed and the safety and security of his people comes before the life of one man who, at every turn, had proven he’s unwilling to change. When his plans do fail and he’s captured, Kane accepts it (knowing it was a likely outcome) and is willing to die publicly in the hopes that it could spark a fire of inspiration in others to continue what he started. He believes in his people to do the right thing when he’s gone.

In the precious few moments Kane and Abby were granted to say goodbye in 3x09, he cuts short so that he can spare the woman he loves any additional amount of pain he can, even though we can assume spending as much time with her before he dies is all he could ever want. He forfeits any underlying desire to touch her, hold her, kiss her, tell her he loves her before he dies, in an attempt to spare her the cruel agony of a loss all too similar to one she’s already suffered. His full dedication to her well-being is on full display here, even though it’s his life that is about to be unfairly cut short.

In what’s perhaps his ultimate sacrifice yet, Kane’s actions in 3x13 were the epitome of selflessness and love. To save Abby’s life, he doesn’t hesitate to give up his own: his freedom, body, mind and soul for her with no hope of being freed. He takes the chip and condemns himself to a fate worse than death so that his love may live, even if it’s only her body that remains and her true self - the beautiful soul he loves - will forever be lost. He literally loves her more than life...

All his great acts of sacrifice definitely leave an impact, even if he is oblivious to it. He continues to blame himself for everything that has gone wrong - regardless of how much influence he actually had on it - and is perpetually plagued by self-doubt and self-loathing, not realizing the things he did accomplish and inspire: those who took part in Kane’s rebellion - Lincoln, Sinclair, Harper, Miller - loyally followed him despite the risks because they believed in him and their cause and would willingly die alongside their leader. Before his tragic death, Lincoln mentions that his own sacrifice is something Kane would do as well - recognizing that aspect in him and knowing that to die saving others is an honorable end. Lexa could see the goodness in his soul - his pure desire for peace that led to the start of their official alliance with the Grounders. Those on the Ark who stayed behind with him to try to save others and honored him when he attempted to sacrifice himself for them. Good can and does come from some of his acts and I hope he gets to see that someday. He did affect people. He did make a difference. His efforts were not all in vain...

SEASON 4+:

At this point on his journey, his sacrificial decisions are not without the weight of added consequence. He’s not alone anymore and his death would now leave a much bigger impact in his wake. He’d be leaving behind Abby - the woman he loves and is finally beginning to develop a much-deserved future with - and the family he’s cultivated with her the delinquents. There are people he loves and who love him but, though he wouldn’t want to leave behind, he’d still continue to fight and die for them if needed. I’d love to see this addressed by his loved ones eventually, showing concern for his well-being and making sure he knows just how much he means to them. I definitely think that, given the nature of this season, that something along these lines will be addressed to some degree. 

His actions in life can echo in his potential death. As much as I hate to consider it, if Kane ever did die, there is plenty of foreshadowing for it in the form of his many sacrifices, potentially indicative of a destiny to die saving his people. For him, what better way to die than to save those he loves and to ensure a future for his people he wants so desperately? It would be the most fitting send-off to his character should the situation ever arise. Here’s strongly hoping it doesn’t though. He deserves to survive and carve out a life with those he loves and reap the rewards of their hard work and many sacrifices...

Marcus Kane is one of the most selfless characters I’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing. It’s such a fundamental part of his character and given due spotlight on more occasions than I’ve seen of many others. Kane is a true, selfless hero who works tirelessly to save his people and loved ones no matter the cost to himself and I adore him for his courage, respect, kindness, compassion and fortitude. Even when his efforts fail and go unnoticed, he never stops trying to do the right thing. Marcus Kane is my hero...
