There’s other ways to say that there are no good choices, but acting like the deaths of a few don’t matter in the grand scheme of things is an insensitive thing for a leader to say. And remember, they tried to use Indra’s people first, reassuring her that no one would die.
The grounder culture was all about honor, self-sacrifice, and the serving of one’s clan (dying a good death, as her warriors would say). They should have been straight-forward with Indra, Indra should have been straight-forward with her people, and whoever died should have been memorialized and celebrated for their bravery.
In a previous season, Clark tried to withhold the fact that the ship wouldn’t support everyone as a bunker. When the truth came out, everyone banded together to help. When it came time to chose who lives in the actual bunker, many people laid down their lives so that others could live. This lesson should have been learned from, and Clark should have met with all essential personnel and explained the consequences of not getting the reactor fixed.
A group of thirty people aren’t going to stand around and let all their friends, loved ones, and a village of children die. Clark had another choice other than to just decide who’s worthy of dying so that the many can live. Even if they didn’t have the time to create more nightbloods to reduce the chances of the volunteers dying, there was still enough time to get everyone gathered and select volunteers.

1. These 2 are idiots.... They walk into a radiated room with ZERO. protection ....One of them is wearing a fucking dress for crying out loud! ...THESE. are the people Raven appointed to watch after a nuclear reactor!?!?! triple facepalm
2. YUP. That IS. Smallville's Stargirl ...I'd recognise that face anywhere
3. Why is she believing in false gods?? You'd think she'd know better
4. True... For a little while they had Raven walking around like nothing happened by way of being part of ALLIE's followers... But she got off that quick and went back to having a bad leg ...The writers COULD. have made the character figure out a way to fix herself but INSTEAD her bad leg has become part of her character ...I feel that's something we rarely see on a TV show yeah
5. This dude tells young Hope that for the next 10 years it's just him and her .....So you mean to tell me.. That these people are sending their prisoners or whatever there ONE. AT. A. TIME??? That sounds like such a waste of a planet .....Construct a large prison area on the planet and send a fuckton of people there for rehab ....Seems MUCH. more efficient to me
6. Aight I'mma just say it cause this shit's been bothering me for years (yeah I remember this shit cause it's THAT. bad) ....Hope's haircut looks ALL. kindsa FUCKED. UP.
7. Yeah given that the anomaly was already part of the story in last season... Why only now are we seeing these people show up on Sanctum? Wouldn't Russell and them have known about them? Spoken to them? ....Having them show up now feels kinda shoe-horned in ...Added for the sake of having a new storyline to fill a new season ....The creator said he had a definite end vision for the show since the beginning but this feels like a sudden addition that I doubt was part of his original vision
8. I want one of those helmets ...Full augmented reality / virtual reality display telling you information about everything you're looking at and showing cool visuals of space and stuff?? Count me in!
9. I have a hard time believing Echo would lose a fight against a crazy old looney tune but ok
10. Yeeeeaaahh... I saw this while I was prepping intros for the edits... Echo cut her hair.. It looks really MEH. ....Hope's hair I'd ALMOST. say it's an improvement... But it's short.. So it's more like she went from one fucked up haircut to another fucked up haircut
11. Ok... Major flaw (salutes) in the design of those helmets.. They don't allow for you to see someone else wearing one while they're cloaked?? ....I mean... Raven would be dead if they'd have seen her but still ....Also.. Their reaction time is either super slow or Raven is the fastest shooter ever
12. Why is the anomaly all of a sudden inside the Anomaly Stone cave on Sanctum ...Before this.. People had to walk through a large version of the anomaly outside ....Why the sudden change?
13. Ok Raven... Don't be stupid... You just said "This one looks fun" and chose the one that CLEARLY looks like an ice planet ...I'd have chosen ANY. other option over that ...I mean... I'm all about them snowball fights ...But having them on an ice planet?? Hard pass
14. Jordan: "Ladies and gentlemen.. Clarke Griffin has left the planet" .....There'd better not be any buttons to push or levers to pull on that ice planet
15. I'm meh on the whole Echo screwing over the looney tune dude to get to Bellamy ...She's trying to get to the person/people she loves and is willing to go to extreme lengths to do it.. I'd do the same

I mean would you rather have raven do nothing and have everyone die?

Wow. Clark legit tells Raven that it’s okay to sacrifice a few to save the many. I liked her better when she always tried to save everyone— even if they’re scary strangers from a strange planet that you don’t know the culture of.
