Okay,

A) killing Lexa and Lincoln in that manner was/is a crime in itself, but it feels about just as bad maybe even worse what they are doing to Bellamy's arc this season(aside from what they have done to s03 as a whole). That feels like comparing death to abuse. Neither is good, but abuse(I'm not even gonna mention the portrayal of real abuse in the show) is ongoing and keeps reigniting the fire of hate/anger, that some are fighting so hard to keep down/extinguish...

B) Clarke taking the higher road, again, too much. Out of all the BS that this season has introduced to us, this is one of the most frustrating one for me, that Clarke is pretty much emotionally invincible. Sure she cries here and there, but she manages to hold it together cos she has to save the day.. I do like that she is our hero, but c'mon not having a mental breakdown after all that happened to her, it's just too damn unrealistic.

You know how, when you read/hear/watch a story you gradually immerse yourself in that universe and if the storytelling is good, it holds you in that space. But when stuff like Clarke's iron lady act or Bellamy's confused doberman act happens, it pulls you right out of that magical place and in my case it leaves me either shaking my head and saying "such wasted potential", or shouting at the screen and looking for a table to flip. Probably that's not how it ideally should be...
