you wound me(dedicated to JUPITER ASCENDING) by having me read the state of ther commander.

anyway, here it is, my thinking:

couple of episodes of diffrence here, the decision was made back when MW was destroyed, so yeah, they didnt really have time to choose who stays, and lexa made(ok, this past tense is seriously bad for my health) her decisions based on her, nor clarke. if you can go back and rewatch all those times, you will see, that lexa never chose right away, but rat5her always after a quick pause. she saw a vision of peace between the arkers and the coalition, and knew who was responcible for 300 dead grounders, a few, not an army. wanna know why she did what she did. because she knew pike only had a few people following him and yes, she trusted clarke that the arkadia would turn on him. a few, not an army. lexa knew that war would mean sending their soldiers everywhere, but not everyone wouldf be ok with killing innocents.... and that was the reason she hoped for a better future, she knew what clarke meant when she said to her where blood must have blood led. she wanted her people to live in peace, husbends with wives, children with fathers, sisters with brothers. she knew how many would die would she ever go to war with the only clan out there, with deadlier weapons than MW, the onlyones who ever posed a greatest of threats to her people... she and clarke tried to archive something noone alse could, a peace between arkadia and the coalition and as a wrote above, lexa knew pike didnt have enough power to start a war, only a few followers... not to mention that indra told her 10 of them killed 300 of her soldiers so... theres that....

as for titus, his thought were based on lexa loving clarke, which were correct but let us not go into much of a discussion there, as that happened in a room next to lexa, and murphy being chained.... piss poor writing on that scene, which of course was however, protrayed amazingly...

so try to see their POV, they needed the ambassador, clarke volunteered, and they needed to return to arkadia, and clarke had a reputation with the grounders. sure, kane and bellamy thought lexa was going to betray her and them, but as we know, they were wrong, so bottom line: a stand by my words, not a bad decision.
