I don't want to be rude here, but JR might have another reason for killing of Lexa, which obviously he'll never admit because well... Let me explain.

I happened to watch an older episode of ANTM (how the hell is that relevant you ask? Give me a second), which was the first episode of that season. So when the screening comes and the have to kick someone off, the two girls had been given a score by the audience that watched the runway. It was a season where the best of the previous seasons competed so, for girl A the audience said they didn't like her, but girl B they said they didn't remember. In the end, guess who Tyra kicks out? If you thought girl A you were WRONG! See, Tyra explains that bad press is SO much better than not being remember.

Back to the point! Lexa's death has A HUGE reaction to the fandom that it was just mentioned in the Hollywood reporter where the writer of the episode and the Xena Reboot said that sexuality in the latter show was going to be much better handled than in the 100. So, when the show is losing fans yet gaining reputation (whether is horrible or bad, because it's definitely not good), Lexa's death did have a purpose and it might not have been intentional, but the more the fans argue and shout about it, the more people become aware of it.

Alycia might never come fully back and the deal with her contract might not be ever fully understood, but I can't no longer believe that they (JR and every writer who hasn't made an official and clear statement of where they stand) are not talking just letting it die down. I think the attention and the stir is intentional!

Also, Alycia might have been in Vancouver because she visited the set or for whatever reason. I say, wait until the finale and hope JR doesn't show his face to Comic-Con because he will literaly be afraid for his safety. When 2 years ago, he heard "Bellarke" and said "That's my que to leave", now it's going to be "Lexa", "LGBT" and "Alycia."
