I HATE the whole Clarke saved them when she fixed the satellite!!! argument like by the time she got there her options were she dies or all of them die. That’s not exactly a worshipable decision, she had no other choice. Spakekru have said their thanks but ultimately they owe her nothing.
Oooohh, I have so much to say here, lol! I had to wait until I got home and had access to my laptop before replying properly.
You said it!! The amount of bullshit I see from biased Clarke stans is unreal, from them claiming over and over again how CLARKE saved them all and “Spacekru owes her a thank you!” “Spacekru needs to treat Clarke better!” “Spacekru is so ungrateful to Clarke for saving their lives, fuck Spacekru!”, etc. etc… It’s so fucking ridiculous, especially since ALL of them had a hand to play in saving each other, yet Clarke stans only look at how Clarke climbed the satellite tower and saved all of them by getting the Ark door open, the end.Â
But in reality, A) Yes, Clarke got the power on and the door opened; but they all would have died anyways if they didn’t have the oxygenator. B) Murphy was the one who carried that god-forsaken-who-knows-how-heavy-that-motherfucker-was piece of machinery back with his own two hands to save all of them and then came back to save Monty’s life. C) Monty was the one who was giving the instructions to Bellamy on how to hook up said machinery. D) Raven was the one who literally flew that motherfucking rocket up to SPACE and got them off the ground! She was the one who got the idea of using the satellite tower in the first place! E) All of Spacekru literally shared all their oxygen until they all passed out right before the oxygenator came on once on the Ring. F) Bellamy used every last ounce of air he had in his tank before he ran out just to get that oxygenator going to save them all. G) While believing Clarke had died on the ground, they honored her memory by remembering what she sacrificed in turn and tried to do better even before going back down to the ground. H) Spacekru expressed gratitude to Clarke all throughout season 5…before she betrayed them all. (Murphy: “She died so we could live, Bellamy, this is how we do that.” Raven (to Clarke over the radio): “Thank you for saving our lives.” Echo: “We wouldn’t have made it without her. Not even close.”Â
So while Spacekru does all of this, are heroes themselves, Clarke stans get on their high horse and try and claim that “Spacekru are so ungrateful to her!! They owe Clarke an apology and a thank you!” I call the biggest bullshit there ever was! You are SO right, Spacekru owe NOTHING to Clarke; they don’t owe her a thank you; they owe her SQUAT. Clarke stans can try and bitch and whine all they want that Spacekru will be rightfully pissed at her next season, and Spacekru shouldn’t be angry after everything Clarke did to them, but it doesn’t change what’s canon in the show:
That Spacekru already expressed how they felt - to her and to each other. And after she betrayed them, tried to kill them, and almost succeeded in killing them, they owe her NOTHING.
