This episode was good for it's portrayal of difficult decisions, but when seen through the light of the sky people (Americans) verses the countries they invade with insanely superior firepower and resources, the analogy doesn't hold up for sympathy's sake, if you're viewing it from an independent view point, ie not skypeople, (American). Yes the grounders are brutal, but really, they're insignificant faced with the full might of the most powerful military might on the planet.
Lets not consider they turned the most sympathetic compassionate character into the executioner of a war atrocity, leaving only the psychopaths turncoats and highly strung violent left to root for.
Emotional TV, but, what's the message?
