They're forcing Clarke to give up leading her people by turning her first into an ambassador and then making the majority of her people unworthy of her leadership (this internal Skaikru split). It's as if the entire purpose of this horribly devised Arkadia plot is to make it so Clexa can logically happen.

As I've also said numerous times before, I don't ship either Clexa or Bellarke and I don't care if either of them happen; just not at the expense of plot.

I disagree that the current plot is to push Lexa and Clarke together. The whole point was to bring in another Ark station that stirs up trouble within the boundaries of Arkadia so that the Grounder-Sky People conflict can continue (like it has for the past 2 seasons). Pike's revolution makes perfect sense given the situation he's been in for the past three months. I can fully understand why him and Farm Station started revolting against the Grounders. Bellamy's part in it makes less sense (but I can still see SOME- not a lot- of logic behind it).

It makes sense that Lexa would want the Sky People to join the Coalition. Not only would she have Wanheda on her side but she would also have their medicines and technology. Somebody needed to be an ambassador for the "Clan" but it couldn't have been a leader. Since Clarke left Bellamy and everyone behind, she was no longer considered their leader, so it made sense that the ambassador spot was filled by her.

I agree that I don't want the plot screwed up just because of Clexa, but I think it's wrong to say that that's the reason it is screwed up. The whole point of the plot right now is to show two Civil Wars (one amongst the Grounder Clans and one amongst the Ark stations).
