I had fun with 6x02. It was angsty âwhy canât our kids just get alongâ fun, but still fun!
The Big Things Iâd be down to discuss:
1 - We got tiny little crumbs about Alpha/Sanctum itself, the people who live there, and how/why theyâve lived on this moon for the past century or so. The backstory with the very obvious Bellarke stand-in (that had to either be the best or worst little nod ever for shippers), including the sudden and unexpectedly violent death of Sanctum Clarke (I know she has a name I just forgot), shows us that the people of this world have been dealing with the eclipse psychosis for a long time, which definitely explains the kidsâ books and general âthis is a thing that happens sometimesâ attitude of the people weâve met. The mother, father, and daughter of that group are the Lightbournes (no idea how to spell that yet), who are seemingly worshiped in this world. How did that happen, when Daddy Lightbourne went nuts and murdered his wife and daughter? Jumping to the present, one of the lines between the older hijacker woman and her dying daughter - âthe bodies, you have to make sure -â âIâll take care of itâ - definitely makes me think that thereâs something about death/corpses on this planet that we donât know yet. (Which makes me think of poor Shaw, quickly buried in that grave by that random field.) Both women seemed very concerned with recovering the bodies of their husbands, beyond the usual ârespecting our deadâ worries. And finally, that ending. The little girl, Rose, seemed to be dressed a bit more âroyallyâ for lack of a better word, than the other children. Maybe it was just a design choice to make her stand out - if sheâs got a name, sheâs gonna be important. She had those âwise young leaderâ vibes though. The most interesting thing - her asking Clarke if theyâre there to âtake them homeâ and Clarke responding âisnât this your home?â Sanctum believes theyâre going to be rescued, I think we can safely guess that this is a big part of what makes them culty. So what are they going to do now that they know a rescue is impossible, because Earth is dead? Why do they still want to go home - to reconnect with a world an indeterminate number of lightyears away, where none of them were born? Why? Is it something about Sanctum that makes them long to return - something more than just the Eclipse Psychosis?
2. My favorite interactions were between Murphy and Clarke. I think something significant happened between them when Murphy finds Clarke holding that knife to her own throat. I think Murphy has a moment of realizing, âoh, maybe Clarke hasnât let go of her baggage, maybe she carries more guilt and self-loathing than she shows us.â He gentles a lot as he talks her down, tells her that the radio sheâs hearing all of those terrible things from isnât even on. I do think they have a better understanding of each other now, and will probably snipe at each other less. Probably. Maybe. I appreciated Murphy telling Clarke that her taking some responsibility for being âthe bad guyâ was âa good start.â I do think Clarke needs to make serious strides towards apologizing properly, and she came closer than she had before to doing that in the argument she and Murphy had while they were locked up in the school. She was passive aggressive, but I think part of that is her frustration that anyone would think she doesnât regret the things sheâs done. Sheâs lost so many people who are important to her, and, given what Delusion!Abby said, Clarke also clearly blames herself for all of it. I think part of why she canât apologize to anyone is because itâs hard for her to live with herself without justifying the why of those lives lost. She has to remember what she did it for, who she did it for, or sheâll lose it completely and surrender to her darkest, self-destructive impulses. This episode helped me with Clarke a bit, Iâll admit it. I hope this isnât the only thing weâll get, but Iâm not holding my breath.
3. The different reactions everyone has to the psychosis is worth a hundred metas and at least twenty crack posts. I wanted to make a âtag yourselfâ meme about what everyone does (Echo ânopesâ herself right out; Emori flips and attacks her âitâs complicatedâ lover; Bellamy becomes an Angry Rage Dad; Jackson and Miller try to protect each other to death; Clarke just hates herself (I donât even have a good joke for it, it was honestly pretty sad); and Murphy would just be â????â; a bonus would be Octavia, who managed to behave as if she was under the Eclipse Psychosis, but it turns out our girl is just Losing It For Real Now, No But Like For REAL For Real - but Iâm not good at the image-making thing, so anyone who sees this is free to steal the idea and adapt it to their own interpretations (just lmk âcause I wanna see it)!
4. Was Murphy affected? By the time Emori, Jackson, Miller, and Echo are all down for the count, Murphy becomes the voice of reason for Clarke and Bellamy. He has to protect himself, and them, from themselves and each other, and he does so in a very level-headed way. He isnât shaking off the delusions like Clarke does when Murphy and Bellamy are fighting. He isnât raging and ranting like Bellamy is. His craziest moments come from believing that heâs the only sane one left. Yet he shoots at Bellamy and Clarke, and clearly seems paranoid that theyâre out to get him at certain moments. So what gives? Which parts were potentially Eclipse Psychosis, and which parts were just Murphy? Iâm inclined to believe his needling of Clarke is 100% Him - given how he stomps off from their little fireside chat in 6x01 (that smile was sarcastic af yâall, not him really being like âyou winâ, he was pissed), I donât think heâs able to hold himself back from speaking his mind to Clarke about her decisions, once theyâre both tied up and stuck in the same room together. So when he shoots at Clarke and Bellamy, do we think heâs trying to protect them from themselves, or does he genuinely want to hurt them? So much to analyze.Â
5. Speaking of Octavia, I am both elated and devastated to see that Niylah is pretty much her only friend right now - it makes my Niytavia heart happy, but itâs rough to see Octavia struggling so much, and being so alone in it. Itâs clear Niylah is so scared for Octavia, and might be the only one who really sees how much sheâs hurting. Sheâs the only one who recognizes that Octavia is egging everyone on, trying to get them to fight her, probably even kill her. Octavia is lashing out so much right now, and itâs definitely not a good look. I think itâs the only thing that makes sense for her character right now. She lost everything - all of the honor and respect and (yes) power she had, all of the hope she had for finding redemption in Eden, all of her closest friends and supporters (with the exception of Niylah - also, side note, I hope we see Indra and Gaia soon), and her brother. Sheâs never been good at actually reflecting on her mistakes. Now that she feels she has pretty much nothing to lose, of course sheâs going to lash out and act like an angry kid throwing a tantrum, baiting people into punishing her. She wanted to die in that gorge - she believes she deserves it. Now, in her own words, ânone of it makes senseâ. I donât know how much darker and angrier sheâll have to go before she finally confronts Blodreina, and all of the reasons she had to become her. She has to accept what she did, and forgive herself, before anyone else will.
6. What will the fallout from the Bellamy/Murphy fight be? Everyone was throwing out some sharp barbs, but Bellamyâs comment about Murphy being a court jester, and how that was âbarelyâ better than useless was a low blow. Itâs also a long way from the premiere last year, with Bellamy pinning Murphy and refuses to let him up until Murphy says he isnât worthless. Will they brush by it as Eclipse Angst, or is this indicative of bigger problems between Murphy and Bellamy down the line this season? Bellamy definitely wakes up looking hella guilty about how close he came to killing both Clarke and Murphy. Does he really feel that way about Murphy, does he see him as an equivalent threat compared to Clarke? Why, and how?? Not to beat a dead horse, but Clarke has been pretty traitorous lately and has been much more dangerous to trust than Murphy has, for Bellamy for sure. Clarkeâs own self-destructive thoughts seemed to be the genuine truth, what she believed about herself. Whoâs to say we canât assume Bellamy was being equally genuine about Murphy?
7. Whatâs going on with Murphy at the end there? Before he went into the water, he was mostly okay. After he comes out and passes out for a while, heâs suddenly near-death, with crazy black shit visibly running through his veins? Iâll admit Iâm a little scared for him! Iâm sure heâll probably be fine, but the source is what unsettles me - the biggest difference between the three of them by that ...pond? puddle?... is that Murphy went under and inhaled a lot of water. Is even the water toxic when the eclipse is going on? Thatâs going to mean that the Sanctum people, who clearly have some safe place to go to during the eclipses, will have a lot of power over the safety of everyone on the planet, even more than we originally suspected. So our traumatized heroes are going to have to adapt and assimilate to this new society, and we really have no idea what thatâs going to look like yet. Weâve already gotten some hints that itâs weird and culty though, and culty things have never boded well for our characters. Has it been mentioned how often these eclipses are? I donât think so. We know they last two days, but not how often they happen. We also donât know much else about the dangers in the world, and what life is like for other parts of the moonâs surface.
8. The parallels between Clarke and Octavia so far this season are delightful and frustrating. They both have so much in common, and itâs interesting to see the different and similar ways theyâre reacting to the terrible things they were forced (and chose, at times) to do as young, inexperienced leaders. They both donât think they deserve to be alive. They both have tried to hurt or kill themselves because of that. What frustrates me a bit about 6x02 is that it feels like a reversal from the way we saw Octavia at the end of 5x13. Octavia seemed ready to accept responsibility in that gorge âWonkru is dead. I broke it.â and Clarke seemed more willing to stand by her convictions as a Mama Bear. Now Clarke is slowly starting to accept some accountability, and Octavia is calling out everyone for their âsinsâ. But I think on some level, theyâre both motivated by the same self-destructive self-loathing. Both Clarke and Octavia attempted to sacrifice themselves (Clarke at the end of s4, Octavia at the end of s5) for the sake of their people, and also in an attempt to make up for how fall theyâd each fallen from their own moral centers - they both wanted redemption and absolution for the terrible things theyâd do to other people for the sake of survival. Both of them were robbed of this opportunity when they survived their attempts at martyrdom, yet their attempts do save the people they love. Theyâre both pretty much in the same place at the beginning of s6 - on the edges of their groups (although Clarke has been treated far more warmly by ReconKru than Octavia has been on the Eligius ship), feeling alone except for one special girl (Madi and Niylah respectively, although also Bellamy was being pretty nice to Clarke before the Psychosis thing happened), and they both have so much blood on their hands. Both have lashed out to an extent, but both have also directed their anger and guilt inward, and against themselves physically. I donât know what the intention is behind these parallels yet - both women need a lot of peace and time to heal from what theyâve been through. Will they both actually be allowed that, on this show? I doubt it. That scares me, because as much as I complain about Clarke, Iâve never wanted a tragic ending for her. But if it comes down to a choice, I think yâall know what my bias would be. And right now, Octavia looks more likely to meet that dark end than Clarke.
This is long enough, so thatâs it for now! Let me know your own thoughts!!
