So far, this is feeling just a bit mindless. There's been no real action since Bellamy's little shootout, apart from him kissing Clarke right before I stopped. I feel like the stage has been set for the next act, and now everyone is just hanging in limbo, waiting for the curtain to rise again. I'm hoping there's something a little bit more exciting right around the corner. I really hope Wells doesn't get angry with Clarke over this. Sad, yes. But he's already more or less acknowledged that he did something that pretty much gives her every right to hate his guts for life, so he has no right to get all jealous and mad at her and Bellamy when she moves on. That is not the scene I want. I'm looking more for something like a wild animal attack, something that forces everyone, maybe including Graham, to start to look to Wells for leadership and survival. After all, he and Bellamy seem to know the most about how to actually survive this little penal trip to potential pardons and most probably death by radiation.
Come to think of it, it might be nice to see the two of them start working together. Sort of a pact, like between Ren and Shay in Bloodrose, when they were tied up in the boat together and they decided to let Calla choose between them at the end, rather than continue the (immature) constant fighting between themselves over her. Even though she didn't have to choose, because the ending was a total cop-out by the author. But that's not important.
