I wish Clarke had not listened to Lexa and evacuated Tondc like she originally wanted too. I understand that Clarke didn't want those people to die and felt like it was the ONLY choice... But it wasn't. She and Lexa could have figured something out. Like, they could have took small groups out at a time for "hunting" or "training" or "patrol". Then, waited 10 minutes to take another group out. Even if the Mountain Men figured out there was a spy inside Mount Weather I think that Bellamy's cover wouldn't have been blown until he at least finished turning off the acidic fog. The people at Tondc could have went to another village (There are multiple villages in the camp) or they could have went underground (Where Clarke and Lexa were). I don't hate Clarke for what she did but I truly think it was the wrong thing to do and that there could have been another option. Neither Lexa or Clarke gave any of their other options much thought but instead just took off immediately.

Also, I don't agree with the whole "sacrifice the few to save the many" thing. It's been shown multiple times on the show but it doesn't make any sense. Who cares if you choose to let (I'll give a random example) 40 people die to save 100? The amount of people dying doesn't matter to me because they are ALL people. They ALL deserve to be saved. Maybe somebody would have saved 100 people, but they would have still been responsible for the death of 40 people. Maybe the person who chose to save 100 over 40 thought what they were doing was better but it wasn't. What I'm trying to say is that EVERY life matters and just because somebody saved more lives than they took doesn't mean it was a good or right thing to do. It doesn't make them the hero because they still got people killed.

It would be one thing if those Grounders were willing to stay in camp and die just so Bellamy's cover wouldn't be blown. That would have been their choice. They probably would have stayed, too. Those Grounders were warriors and they probably would have willingly given up their lives to win the war and save their people in Mount Weather. However, Lexa and Clarke just left them to die without even telling them. Think about the Culling. 320 people were willing to die to save the rest of their people, weren't they? The Grounders most likely would have done the same thing and allowed themselves to be killed by the missile in order to save their people.
