And by the way, when the Director sais "You will be surprised on where Octavia will end in this series", I think he knows we will all think he is dying, thats why its surprising, cause she is NOT dying. Although the Episode 9's title Sinc Semper Tyrannis, I think it refairs to her, but not to kill, maybe she gets banished (Murphy Season 1) or dissapears when everyone thinks she is dead (Clarke Season 4), or maybe its not even refairing to her, maybe from Episode 1 to Episode 9, there is another Commander/leader.

But if I'm wrong and Octavia does die, and they do a Season 6, I won't even think in watching it, it will be forgotten for me. Yes viewership dwindled but I believe it also had to with the storytelling cause the writers really suck on this show. The writers need to grow a pair and kill off fan favorite characters like Raven, Murphy, and Octavia. Really great shows would take the risk and kill off important characters. I know I compare the shows a lot if this was TWD or a show like it characters like Raven, Murphy or one of the Blake siblings would be dead by now. We'd then learn more about characters like Miller, Harper, Indra and Roan. Due to the fact they have kept so many season 1 characters and it's now season 5 we should see a completely different cast of main characters. If I was showrunner going into the upcoming season the only original characters that would still be alive would be Clarke, Kane one of the Blake siblings and Murphy. Then the rest of the main cast would consist of characters we've never seen or recurring characters that would eventually become main characters.
