Pike’s story is just pure bad writing 2 dimensional character

Bellamy who knows the nuances of the grounder coalitions would never back him up even during grief

Grief is for his 3 months “girlfriend” who we just meet for 3 episodes forming no bonds but kisses bellamy 2 times and an ubruptly made up raven story and then dies before we can care. They tried to replicate a “will” moment but it was so poorly done because we didn’t know or care about her enough and probably their budget and viewership at the time couldn’t take cutting an actual important character to make us feel whatever bellamy is supposed to be feeling

But even then it was done in a very stupid way. Tricrew was out there for hours. If there was any sign of attacking they should have shown that maybe as a misunderstanding or mistake but they just kept telling the audience “300 people are out there” we dont see them on screen they’re not doing anything and yet everyone inside starts getting paranoid and threatened for no reason even bellamy? Why would bellamy attack trikru? Because “the commander left us at mount whether” it’s not enough. He wouldn’t risk a war with no provocation after he’d seen what a war can do and he knows more than anyone that his people are not ready to fight any grounders not trikru or asgeda because HE COMMANDED THE ARMY IN THEIR WAR. Bad writing. Poor character arc. Unrelatable pyke character at all there no depth just some racism and fear mongering every other scene and his soundboard monty’s mother don’t even get me started they didn’t give her anything she’s just shouting things when pike talks. I actually forgot all about her “monty’s father” story. They couldn’t even give us a flashback? The whole storyline makes me just angry at the writing , at the stupid dialogue that’s disrespectful to the audience’s intelligence and considering just skipping it to the part where the city of light story starts paying off. It’s the only reason im watching this bullshit
