...though this is literally the 1 thing in the universe you can't drag him for (but then again, i could be wrong): because the reincarnation thing was mentioned in 2x10 (clarke and lexa hiding from the pauna i think?) he wanted to build off on that...not in a totally spiritual "my soul will pass onto yours" kind of way but a more sci-fi-y way, which is ALIE 2.0. but to do that, apparently, lexa had to die for ~technological reincarnation~. But that's just it....he only MENTIONED reincarnation in Season 2. I don't think he planned to do a whole back story on it  until he figured he had to kill off Lexa. That's at least what he implied in several interviews I read. He mentioned that Lexa's death was the "best option" for the availability problem, and then went on to say, "reincarnation was mentioned in season 2...." so it gave him a reason to explore reincarnation.

Now, that being said,  your rant on Charlotte's and Wells' death had me in stitches. I was literally laughing my butt off! My sides were killing me imaging Charlotte and an ice cream cone!! :-)

Thanks for the humour.

And ya, to reiterate, Lexa's death really sucked,  JBeast copped out and it was really crappy and lazy writing.
