As Promised...
I rewatched the episode this evening and quickly typed out my rereactions in chronological order. Please like this post if you’d want to see it again next week. It’s probably slightly messy, because I’ve never done something like this, but it was fun, and it’s a good insight into my inner monologue. I’ll also get better as the season goes on. Ik I love reading stuff like this on other people’s blogs. 
Overall, I liked the episode. It was slightly underwhelming, because we already knew most of what happened, but it was cute, and I’m excited for the story this season. (and, as someone who has never actually said or believed this before: It really is Our year Blarkes!)
·       Clarke looking at maps, nice callback to s1, #1 earth skills student
·       “at least I don’t have to swim” I didn’t think about the fact that she was at Becca’s house, the ocean dried up, makes sense
·       She’s so freaking pretty I’m sorry wow
·       I always assumed she wouldn’t even try to dig up the bunker until after 5 years, I didn’t realize she’d try to join them at all
·       I’m wishing we saw some of her first moments/days after praimfiya
·       Is it a coincidence that the rubble collapsed after she looked at Lex.a’s throne? I think not lol.
·       “how the hell am I gonna make it 5 years?” they did a good job conveying how hopeless her situation seems, and how long that time really is when you’re alone
·       MAYA AND JASPER ghfbgrkeu I’m so sadd, I’m sooo glad she’s getting to mourn
·       I hope Monty gets to read his letter
·       “realll cheerful clarke, ignore me” loll this cracks me up, so relatable, coping humor
·       “I’m proud of you” *insert sobbing* she thinks she’s gonna die, she Loves him
·       These landscapes are really cool!
·       Her eyes are so blue
·       Idk who she’s thanking for the rain, but I love seeing her smiling at the little things abt earth such as rain, it’s a lot like s1 really when they breathed real air for the first time and the delinquents celebrated the first rain
·       The radiation storms remind me of acid fog in s1 too, I wonder if they’ll continue to be a thing, probably not after 6 years I guess
·       SO the solar panels are destroyed, why does the rover work later in the episode? I’m kinda confused about that
·       Sidenote: the wandering through the desert reminds me of Holes
·       It’s really difficult to watch Clarke breaking down like this, but how much she’s fought thus far shows us that she really does want to survive deep down, it’s just hard
·       Is it weird that I smiled when she killed the bird? I strangely enjoy going back to the basics of survival, finding resources, again, like s1. I had missed that aspect of earth being just earth, nature in its purest form, beautiful and terrifying
·       She’s being reborn in the water <33
·       I love Madi’s little village, I hope they use a lot of that set
·       “God this would be so much easier if I knew you were alive, If I knew I was gonna see you again” GAHHHHH
·       “Positive thoughts Clarke,” gfeuwcvke I love it
·       I even missed Trigedasleng what even
·       Baby Madi is adorable and terrifying
·       It’s an interesting thought that Madi was trained to avoid the flamekeepers and that’s why she was never found, I love little details like this!
·       I would love hearing her talk more about her childhood and parents
·       Okay It’s great that Clarke’s using medical skills again, but she didn’t clean the wound, and she most def should have lost her leg from infection without sterile equipment
·       Madi in the window like a horror movie actually made me jump
·       How many times will they use the same tree shot from the pilot lmao
·       Clarke is lucky Madi didn’t stab her w/ that spear tbh
·       “child from hell” lollllllllllll
·       Clarke’s not the only one good w/ kids, I love how she left the drawing without saying Anything
·       She’s also hella good at manipulating people (in this case it’s in a good way)
·       Little Madi’s smile awwwww
·       Clarke looks so Good in her tank top and w/ the fish Madi taught her how to catch, she’s gonna have so many more Grounder skills now!
·       Still wondering how they fixed the rover
·       Also confused as to why Clarke wants Madi to speak only English (other than for the purposes of the show)
·       “Do you think they’ll come back too?” Because priorities <3
·       Triple G: Green’s green goop <3 + Make algae not war, Te Amo Monty
·       Emori being happy and joking w/ the others and being excited about spacewalks and defending her new friend Raven this is Everything
·       I’m also glad they made a system to avoid talking about the time, and considerate because of how hard this is on Raven
·       I was so surprised by the whole Murphy being separate from the group thing! But it makes sense. I still love him SO much. And despite him struggling a little bit rn he’s still a smiling adorable idiot
·       “you’re not worthless Murphy” SAY IT LOUDER FOR EVERYONE IN THE BACK
·       “We make decisions as a team here” Emori has grown so much I can’t
·       Dropship Parallelsssss
·       “All of them” Clarke’s first instinct = ALL the guns, Bellamy would be so proud
·       Madi hiding in the whole is a Clear Octavia parallel this is gonna be so Interesting
·       “Only choice” ((((ALSO AN OXYMORON BY THE WAY))))
·       Zeke is beautifuul and smart, ((((((((((JUST LIKE RAVEN REYES AHHHHHHHH))))))))))))
·       I wonder if we’ll learn more about the two other non-violent offenders
·       “for starters cause she’s a kid” GOOD REASON thx reasonable man, it’s unfortunate you died
·       “There are no good guys” a dangerous rhetoric to teach a kid Clarke, there might be consequences for that in more ways than one
·       Just let Monty be HAppY, he just wants to be safe and w/ the people he loves
·       I don’t really get Marper but I’m so glad she’s there for him
·       I love Raven and Emori friendship!
·       Murphy knows he done fed up something good he’s just too proud to deal w/ it rn
·       Murven <333 I’ll take them how I can get them, and I love that she doesn’t put up with his bs
·       Ik I’m supposed to be mad at bech.o but I love seeing Bellamy happy and hopeful and smiling and having someone there to support him (plus do yourself the favor of appreciating his kissing skills and imagining Clarke there)
·       Octavia looks terrifyingly beautiful oh my lands
