Episode 4x02 - "Heavy Lies the Crown" - Part 2

Welcome back to Meta Station for part 2 of our podcast! We covered Polis and Arkadia before Jo had to leave, so we then spent another hour and a half on Clarke/Jaha and Farm Station. SO! MANY! LEADERSHIP! PARALLELS! God this was a good fucking episode. This is a tricky one to timestamp because it’s kind of just Claire and Erin having a conversation about Culling parallels, S1 callbacks, the whole Clarke/Bellamy/Raven = Jaha/Abby/Jake thing, moral choices and leadership styles, which circles back to a lot of the same themes over and over again. But like LOOSELY, here is a general outline: 0:00 –How the Actual Hell Do We Have 40 Minutes of Thoughts on Thelonious Jaha, Ark/Delinquent Leadership Parallels, and Isaiah Washington’s Acting Choices? IDK BUT WE FUCKIN’ DO 0:40 – The Loudest Erin Has Ever Laughed at Claire In the History of Meta Station 0:48 – Ethical Frameworks, Personal Values, and That Farm Station Scene 0:58 – Bryan and Miller Broke Our Damn Hearts, Y’All 1:09 – Original Flavor Bellamy Is Back 1:21 – We’re Dead with Joy Over the Return of Characters Driving the Plot, Instead of Plot Driving the Characters 1:24 – If We HAD to Find a Bone to Pick . . . 1:31 – Claire Loves Iambic Pentameter a Little Too Much
