the show lost 200.000 followers on facebook less than a day after 3x07, JR lost 10.000 followers on twitter(if you say so, i heard it was 7.000), so i seriously do not believe we will get s4. too bad, a actually thought JR was going to negotiate, but... he chose the "easy" way and killed her off. just dont know why he made her so popular before doing it, i think that was what will bury this show. 200,000 followers = 200,000 viewers gone or either planning on it...

Some people have decided to watch the next episodes illegally so the show can't get proper views, though.

Personally, I'll never stop watching the show just because a character I really like dies, however, JR is an idiot if he thinks he can get by without Lexa. To me, Lexa wasn't The 100 but she sure did bring a lot to it. But most fans won't watch without her... And when Lincoln goes, too, there goes another round of fans... That's why I think Lexa will be brought back from the CoL (or maybe that's too smart of a decision for Jason to make).

He wants to take risks like that? Fine. But when barely anyone watches the show, it's not remotely intelligent to make outright dumb choices like that.

Also, he tries too hard to be like GoT... Tbh, all I hear him say when he's saying how much the two shows are alike, or when he's trying to make specific events in The 100 related to the GoT, is "Look at me! Look at how amazing my show is! It's just like that GoT one! You know, the one everyone loves!"

It's so annoying. It's okay to be different. Different is good. His show doesn't need to be like GOT. It can be different and still be enjoyable. He needs to stop being such a try hard because it's costing him his show. I don't want to defend Jason Rothenberg (because he's a shithole) but on the matter of Lexa's death, I'm not so sure he could have prevented that. It doesn't sound like they would be able to get Lexa back for Season 4 and since Lexa is so important, they couldn't have her disappear with no explanation. A death was only logical.

That being said, I thought how they killed Lexa was really crappy. A stray bullet? I mean, c'mon. If it's any comfort, I do think people will remember Lexa in a positive light (Clarke will, to be certain) and she died a hero in her own right. However, that does not excuse the poor way her death was handled.
