“I think while the show has relationships in it, and it’s a show about people coming together, it is not a romantic-based show. So in any way or form that manifests on its own, it’s not the sole focus.” - ADC

That's part of the problem. It was TOTALLY the Clexa show for the first 7 episodes. I have an aversion to romance in shows (one of the reasons I don't ship) and part of why I disliked Clexa so much this season was exactly because it was entirely romantic-based. If you removed the romance factor out of it, all of their decisions made no sense and did nothing worthwhile for the plot! Pike still killed all those Grounders, the Grounders are still locked up in Arkadia, Pike still went after that village, Pike is still the dictator of Arkadia.

The blockade is the only thing worthwhile they did except it should have been done immediately after Pike massacred all those Grounders, not after they attack a second time!
