It may take Clarke a little longer to forgive Bellamy, but seriously, I don't think they'll totally hate each other forever. Also, they have "zero romantic chemistry"? I'm not trying to super-ship Bellarke, but they definitely have chemistry. That time in "Day Trip" when he was teaching her how to shoot a gun? In Season 2, when they were both trying to find each other? They don't have zero romantic chemistry. Yes you're right Lexa did betray Clarke, but in a total different and kind of understandable way. It was wrong of course, but there was a major positive goal, her obligation as the Commander to save her people. Bellamy just murdered 300 people while they were sleeping, people who were there to protect them (and i'm not even gonna get into the fact that he arrested her). Slightly different isn't it? And she didn't forgive Lexa in like a day, MW had happened three months ago, she was still very pissed at her and even after being in Polis it took weeks for her to come around, understand Lexa's betrayal and to forgive her.

People observe and interpret things in different ways obviously, but IMO yes, there is zero romantic chemistry between them, which is normal, 'cause it was never meant to be. Even in cast interviews, you can see from the reactions of JR and the cast that Bellarke was never supposed to be a thing.

I don't remember very well those exact scenes you pointed out, but i'm sure that to me it felt like chemistry as friends, not lovers.

I do hope that at some point, not this season 'cause it's obviously too soon and wrong, Clarke will have a new love interest (if Lexa is really gone), but not him sorry.
