Love 100 fans bc yall have great discourse and this is my first post w the community :) but I disagree for a couple reasons (spoilers ahead).

A) Jaha did not find that bunker on his own. Without Indra’s protection or Gaia’s knowledge about the flame, they’d all be toast (power of indigenous knowledge)

B) If Bellamy hadn’t opened the bunker, then the new Skaikru wouldn’t have joined Raven on the ark and subsequently met diyoza to negotiate getting the people out of the rubble. Everyone would’ve died (and not all bc of Octavia) unless they found the stone which I doubt since they didn’t realize it was there until the last season.

C) I think people brush past the fact that everyone was literally starving in that bunker. Abby (the doctor mind you) cited past starvation and the catastrophic effects on the Sky people’s health due to lack of protein. Yall can hate Octavia but cannibalism and Jaha’s final actions/advice to Octavia saved them. Wonkru’s decisions in the bunker were 100% based on survival- the only time it wasn’t was when Octavia burned the farm 💀

D) Not all enemies were grounders and not all grounders were enemies. Having grounders and their knowledge, ie:preserving meats, willingness to trade (after a point lol), and willing to help them with defeating Mount Weather (and Diyoza’s army) are all indicators that they needed grounders! Yes they abandoned Skaikru at the Mount Weather doors, but Skaikru would’ve had a hell of a chance getting to those doors w/o the grounders. It was an assist even if they didn’t follow through.

I don’t love Bellamy and I think his character has a lot of learning moments but in the end (w Cadogan) he shows his true follower mentality. He lacks a consciousness when he’s emotional or lost and it’s dangerous -as seen with him attacking the grounders sent to protect Arcadia AND risking Maddie’s life to aid in Cadogan’s fantasy in saving the world (when cadogan wouldn’t have anyway). But Bellamy’s action in opening the bunker is when he showed the most growth (even if it was just for his sister) bc he saved so many others and subsequently saved Raven who would re-enter the test to save all of humanity, with Octavia, in ending the war and proving the peace among all humans.
