Dominion: David vs Claire

The line has been drawn. Literally!

            Very happy that I'm back from vacation after the burning sun, mosquito bites and a hangover just in time for the next all new episode of Dominion! Last we left Vega, David drew a line in the sand. Literally! Well in this case he drew a line of bombs dividing the city in two with the agri-towers on the V1's side I believe. That's not good... 

You're welcome for me saving your life

         I was actually surprised at what David did. He was adamant through out season 1 and half of season 2 that the V1s were at the bottom of the food chain and that they should stay there. But that was before he saw their poor living conditions. I suppose a part of him felt sympathy or at least appealed to the good man we know is buried in there somewhere (just very very VERY deep). However it begs the question of why didn't he accept Claire's offer to become a V4 or higher again and help her with reform?

Vega you're about to have a serious problem

        A part of me thinks that David still wants to be on top no matter his circumstances. He still holds this firm belief that the V-system should stay the way it is to keep order it's just now it seems more fair giving the V1s power over the food supply. Claire would have to negotiate a trade or some other compromise in order to feed the other Vs. And that's not the only issue now...

I bet you Arika has a harem

        We finally understand some of Arika's plan which is to take over Vega so that the citizens of Helena have a new home. Apparently Helena is suffering horrible conditions that are making the city uninhabitable. The good news is that Arika likes Claire and doesn't want to kill her even though killing Claire would benefit her plans. On the other hand even though Claire isn't on Arika's hit list the rest of Vega's citizens are and that means a lot more people are going to die in this civil war.

Okay we're gonna blow shit up now & it's gonna be awesome

       As a person who prefers compromise to war, I feel like everyone should just have a sit down and talk things out but as a realist I don't think that will happen without heads rolling plus it wouldn't be realistic for these characters. There's a lot of anger in Vega and David has made it so much worse (as he likes to do) by dividing the city in half. It's round 2 on the David vs Claire battle royal but I'm holding out hope that Zoe will have a change of heart and realize that Claire was never her enemy. I feel like the 2 of them could make the city better if they just work together. I love how unpredictable many of these characters are. It makes the story that much more fun!
