I love Ricky Whittle and it will be sad to see him go, but the writing was on the wall for the character really. A peace desiring Grounder in a world where peace does not really exist? Those type of characters do not live long in a show that exists in a chaotic world. And of course Linctavia was going to hit a snag when both their ideologies would clash, much like couples of real life...sometimes love is not enough. No one can possibly want a show where everyone lives peacably and all ships are together forever with smooth sailing...narratively, that is boring and the death of a show. Conflict and resolution has to cycle in order to create drama and that is what keeps audiences interested. Shiny happy people do not.

Good news for Ricky though, Shadow Moon in American Gods is an epic character and he is perfectly cast for that role. I can't wait to see him in action.
