THIS. excacly this...... i made a comment about what jr did to clarke character in s3(which i will not repeat here) and back then i couldnt quite put it in words, but this guy nailed it. when you look at lexa, when she and clarke first met, look at her movement, how she "plays" with her knife, in s3, when she raises her hand at titus, and those fingers are crossed instead of just being parallel to each other, their love scene...... this is what i meant, jr didnt do that for clarke..... her best scenes this season have been, respectevly to et, very well acted, begging roan not to kill bellamy, begging emerson and that scene with her and abby in ep15..... other than that, the only character obvious trait that clarke has is her fake smile, like when  she is taking care of raven when raven is tied to the bed and she starts talking to clarke, that bittersweet smile...... her character was severly underdeveloped, unlike lexa, s2ep15, when she turns from clarke at mw, after betraying her, you can hear her gasp..... these things werent made for anyone else, which is, frankly, why i didnt like character development for clarke this season...... dont get me wrong, eliza is amazing, compare her to the sweet kid from s1, to brutal survivalist in s2ep1, with maya, and then her change in s3..... amazing skill, but it doesnt feel like thew same person..... and dont get me on clarke apologizing to everyone....... lexa was amazingly written, but i think that killing lexca off was a mistake no matter how you put it, making better place for the rest of the characters??????? no, writing them in better scenes, that is what was missing..... ep 10, clarke is in it for 2 floating minutes, lexa was gone at that time so why didnt she get somethingelse than just skaing jasper where lincoln was..... i disagree about lexa shadowing the rest of the cast, not to mention clarke..... the writing is what needed work, not getting rid of the factory that makes golden gooses(lexa)...... if they were afraid that lexa was stealing the show, maybe they should consider making clarke more important, like maybe actually be afraid as the floating wanheda or having a storyarc, not releted to lexa nad have lexa interact with more people that clarke, and titus plus some extras..... yes, lexa was very important but writing more for the rest of the cast is all it would take.... not floating writing the most stupid, underdeveloped and not believable death scene, which was also a rip off of 2 shows(buffy and heroes) and a "bury your gays" trope.......
