- How? Clarke's lovelife isn't going to stop the apocalypse? Clarke's lovelife isn't going to make fandomlife better [In fact, it'll only create more shipwars]. I challenge the writers directly to have Clarke face this problem - this life or death situation - single. Also, reducing Clarke to just her lovelife is a bit rude. She is more than that.

"The ratings are terrible,.... or else there won't be a fifth season"'''

- Actually the ratings aren't so bad as most Clexa fans make them look. We have a 0.4 demo share, against some serious competition. That is perfectly in the line of expectations. A fifth season is still very much an option. Ratings aren't everything. CW actually pays a LOT of attention to streaming numbers, online engagements, etc. And The 100 is top of the class in those. So it's fne, tbh.

Also, I hope Jason isn't listening. I hope he focusses on his new show. He really needs to stay away from the fandom, and this wikia. Taya are you mad?! He needs to focus on his new show you say? Now that is exactly what will put the 100 in its grave! Him spending time polishing his new baby while his old one turns to rust. Are you or are you not a fan of this show and actually want it to mend itself again? No promoting the new show on the 100 thread, that is a very bad idea. This time of thing where producers divide their work between shows is always what kills it. But yes there are problems with the 100 that didn't exist previously. Lexa's death was a mess. The City of Light was a mess. The Bellarke Shipping is a mess, ALIE was a mess, look basically we have been having major issues since season 3b and Jason needs to sort it out.

And I 100% agree leave Clarke single, she doesn't need to be cheapened by jumping into bed with others for the sake of ratings because it is not working anymore, it is tearing the fandom apart. And the same goes for all of the characters. This has become more soap opera than Hunger Games survival. This is NOT 'Sex and the City of Light'....well it is now but my point is it shouldn't be! Honestly the same thing is happening in the Teen Wolf fandom and so many others but at least the other shows that it is happening to have run its natural course. The 100 has barely started walking and instead of sprinting into what is in the average show, some of the strongest seasons yet, it is tumbling and falling because Jason hasn't planned it out properly and hasn't been very good at predicting the consequences of huge controversial decisions. Because that's the type of person he is, he is flippant and careless. And if you think with him behind the steering wheel of the new show that it will be worth rooting for, think again. He is a smart, extremely creative man but his weaknesses let him down and let his work down. If the 100 hadn't been messed up in the last few decisions, I would have 100% watched his new show. But now I don't trust any of it.
