Characters dying is irrelevant. If their deaths were well-written (Lexa) and not purposefully vengeful on the part of the show-runner (Lincoln), then I doubt most people would be this upset. Instead, this season is terribly written with cliches and tropes and plot holes a mile wide and a complete ignorance and insentivity to delicate topics that should be treated with much more care and understanding (as any good writer should know).

That's why people are upset. They watched a great show with a thought-provoking plot and morally gray characters for two seasons. They started watching Season Three expecting the same and instead were given this steaming pile of crap.
