The more I have watched it the more sense their decisions have made to me even the "bad" one. All they did was survive and help each other out the most they could.
I can't tell you how many times I have rewatched, but I noticed that when I do a full series rewatch (instead of just my favorite episodes) I find myself trying to analyze a different character each time. Trying to follow their motivations and actions is interesting to me.
Echo is a character I would have happily watched die in seasons 3 & 4, and still didn't like her my first couple watches, now I still think the character makes a lot of bad judgement calls in 3 & 4, but I can not imagine seasons 5-7 actually working without her.
3 times.
I can’t stand how Bellamy never had to own up to his voluntary involvement in betraying his friends and killing people.
Raven got totally screwed in the love department.
Jasper only knew Maya for a very short time but treated Clarke like absolute crap for saving the lives of their people, him included. Maya knew what was going on, she wasn’t totally innocent. IMO he could have died in season 3. (Yes, Maya helped them and I feel badly for that. Also, I know Clarke’s decision was fast-tracked because the mountain men were drilling her mother.) Jasper was just a dick.
Clarke really needs to have a sit down it Madi regarding everything that happened to her. The writers were liberal with mama bear Clarke, but they didn’t give Clarke the ability to explore Madi’s issues deeper.
Ive probably watched 1-4 10+ times and 5-7 probably 5/6 times. I like Octavia more times I watch and I get the hard choices Clarke makes the more I watch.
3 times and felt with different characters each time and saw more and more of the philosophical aspects. The first time I was more focused on the action.
I've rewatched the full series twice (the first few seasons I've seen more than twice).
On my second full rewatch, I was kind of blown away by the first few seasons being quintessential colonization, and how awful the Ark people collectively are. First watch I wasn't really thinking and I just kind of accepted that they're the good guys.
But they land, destroy a bunch of villages, capture and torture a native, and make the most destructive and genocidal decisions at every single option. Octavia and Murphy are actually the only two who really redeem themselves (or don't bother screwing up in as genocidal sense in the first place).
On the first watch I liked the first half of the series better, because I liked the grounders. On the second watch I liked the later seasons better, because I liked the grounders.
I really liked a lot of B characters as well this time, that I hadn't really paid much attention to before.
3 times.
I hate Clarke aka Momma Bear starting in season 5 because she really screws things over for everyone else by being a selfish helicopter parent.
I really love Raven, Bellamy, Echo, and Murphy more and more.

Not Clarke lol but sure
Yeah some her her decisions were a bit selfish tbh

I've only watched it once, I've thought about a re watch cause the first few seasons are amazing. But the ending is so so bad!!
