   David to All   
   Emma Caulfied Coins a New Verb!

   The 100 Season 3: Buffy's Emma Caulfield coins the verb 'to Bellamy'   
      
   If somebody converted your name into a verb, what would it mean? Emma   
   Caulfield has begun using the verb 'to Bellamy', and its meaning is so   
   spot-on, it hurts.   
      
   Emma, of Buffy The Vampire Slayer fame, is a HUGE fan of The 100. Like, she   
   properly loves it. She even wrote a love letter to the show ahead of last   
   week's Season 3 finale (I know, why didn't we think of that?).   
      
   Anyway, with The 100 not set to return until January 2017, Caulfield's   
   letter has made big news on the social media sphere. Describing the way she   
   thought her husband was silly for watching such drivel, the actress admitted   
   that she became slowly but surely drawn in by the quirky humdrum of life in   
   Arkadia: "Somewhere between the bathroom and the sofa, I realized I had   
   become passively invested in this show and it was time to lean in."   
      
   And isn't it the same for all of us? A group of kids sent to earth to   
   "survive"? It just sounds like some low-budget CBBC rubbish. Alas, how wrong   
   we all were...   
      
   You can read the love letter in its entirety at Entertainment Weekly, but   
   before you check it out, we must draw attention to one small section of   
   Caulfield's ode; she turns Bellamy into an actual verb!   
      
   "Bellamy, Mr. American Apparel villain, turned hero, turned awesome, turned   
   possible quagmire," she begins. "The mess of him has been so pervasive, he   
   can be described as both an adjective and a verb.   
   BELLAMY:   
   Adjective: Destructive, confusing, and supremely disappointing, with no   
   apparent self-correct.   
   Verb: To suddenly and steadily implode. (Example: Everything was going great   
   on their first date until it BELLAMIED.)"   
      
   Have you ever read anything more perfect? This woman really gets Bellamy's   
   role in this show (and let's be honest, he's not the most accomplished   
   hero) - it's just so well written.   
      
   Caulfield concluded by promising that she is still "all in" with The 100   
   after that epic season finale: "Luckily, the miraculous course correction   
   that has taken place over these last few episodes — and the pitch-perfect   
   finale — fits with my fan vision, so I’m not going anywhere."   
   See you in January! Do you think Caulfield's description of Bellamy is apt?   
      
   [Obviously, if you have never seen the show, then the above will mean   
   nothing to you.   
   If you hate the show, then why were you still watching it?   
   If you love the show, as Emma does, then you know exactly what she is   
   talking about.   
      
   And to add my 2 cents worth - I think Bellamy should pay for letting Pike   
   kill Lincoln with a bullet to the head. And I think Octavia, Bellamy's   
   sister and Lincoln's lover, should put the hammer down on Bellamy, as in the   
   hammer of a pistol or long gun.]
