"I do hope we have Clarke becoming more compassionate again, I disliked how she changed to such a extreme just to gain Lexa's respect."- I don't think it's so much that. I mean, I'm sure it's partly that because she NEEDED to earn Lexa's respect in order for the alliance to work out. Though, I think it is more the fact that Clarke wanted to erase the pain of killing the boy who she loved, and she wanted to focus more on leading her people instead of focusing more on how she killed Finn. And TBH, the whole "love is weakness" thing did help Clarke stop hallucinating Finn, and it allowed her to make the choice to allow Bellamy to be the inside man (which was necessary since the defenses needed to be shut down so the war could be won). I'm not saying it was right of Lexa to try and "turn off" Clarke's emotions, because it wasn't right and I don't believe Lexa should have done it. I'm just saying that, in my opinion, Clarke took Lexa's advice and tried not caring about anyone because she knew that if she kept thinking about she would have a hard time focusing on leading her people and then the war would have been lost. But, I don't agree with the whole "Love is weakness" thing. I believe love can be strength, too. If somebody loved somebody they would have more of a reason to keep fighting. That's my opinion, anyway.

That being said, I do want the more compassionate Clarke back because she was a better leader when she cared about people.
