Alive characters: (If you don't count Jordan for s5, then Madi wouldn't count for s4 and instead be counted for s5.)
 * s2: Indra, Emori, Echo
 * s3: Niylah, Singing Grounder, Macallan
 * s4: Gaia, Madi
 * s5: Diyoza, Brell, Jordan

The difference between killing the mountain men then Eiligus 4 characters is the MW had a massive impact on the series and main characters, season 2 is the exception to the rule.

Alie is an artificial intelligence and farm station was still active until late season 5 due to Monty and Kara's death. Madi and Jordan represent individuals people as opposed to a group, Clarke, Monty and Harper

I was ok with Vinsom and McCreary's deaths but it was clear that Diyoza and Shaw where in it for future story arcs, atleast Diyoza got some respect but the actor who plays Shaw got another job, wished he'd stayed in cryo till he was available like Kane and Indra, hopefully when Madi wakes Wonkru up, we'll be introduced to some more members
