I posted late at night after watching several of the season two episodes. It's a combination of Outsiders (what the mountain men call them,) and Grounders (what the sky people call them). I hadn't even noticed I did that until it was mentioned. Side effect of posting very late at night. I do think that everyone's comments and opinions should be taken into account here as long as they're not abusive so for that guy to say he overlooked it when he saw the title was a bit unfair tbh and not with what the fan community is supposed to be about. However, I disagree with your logic. Lexa may be not a huge muscular man but she is more skilled than a lot of the men and is one of the top skilled warriors when it comes to combat. Hence her beating the other nightbloods in the fight to the death. It is like boxing. The heavier and larger opponent would be expected to win but if the other opponent is light, quick and nimble on their feet, then being smaller could work as an advantage. I do agree with the whole A.I Alie stuff, I didn't really like that because although it is a fictional show, I do think a show like this has to have some boundaries and at least try to base itself in logic. TWD as you said, succeeds in that. Despite it being fictional and about 'zombies', the zombies were actually civilians exposed to dangerous chemicals which turned them that way. So despite the fact it is still fictional, there is some attempts at saying, well you know what, this isn't totally impossible. Anything else would be just fantasy. But some elements in season 3 such as the black blood, the dream world where everyone congregates and holy moly, Lexa being half AI? Yeah they were indeed impossible to believe with no attempts at scientific logic at all. It went overboard and as a sci-fi show, it needs to stick to science elements more. Because for me, that part was a let down. But I love this show so much, if they fix season 4 and avoid this, I will gladly try to overlook it.

One problem I have though is that you keep comparing Lexa to Daenerys and this show to GOT in terms of 'realism'. Hold up now, GOT is a fantasy show with dragons and magic for crying out loud. How is any of that real at all? I like GOT for what it is but could never properly get into it for that reason. So I think your logic is completely faulty in that sense.
