Besides the fact that she is your favorite character give me one good reason why she should/could live and help going forward in the story. This is a show about people surviving the post apocalyptic world, and people die in an apocalyptic word. If you say your going to stop watching just because raven dies, then your not a the 100 fan your a raven fan which is not a true fan of the show. Jaha can do her job as engineer, which I think would be cool to see. Shows do kill off characters that have a big fan base, look at the walking dead they kill off way more fan favorites than the 100. I really like this snow, but it is no way near as good as twd. This shows biggest problem is the lack of main character deaths and all the shipping if they ever get past this problem the show could be as good as twd. Shows don't need to kill off main characters, especially when they are loved by many fans and are extremely useful to the show, and I can name more than 10 reasons why Raven should survive, the show doesn't need to focus on relationships, but they have to have a little romance and a little action, a little bit of everything. Jasper is basically useless at this point, and that's what the writers chose to do, make him pointless to have the ability to kill off the main character. I could tell you to give me some reasons why Bellamy, Octavia, or any other main character shouldn't die. If you're dying to know, here are some of the reasons why Raven might be the most important character this show needs.

- She is the most advanced mechanic that we know off on the show.

- Shows like these need more storylines following disabled characters, like Raven.

- Fans are dying to see more relationships for her.

- She has the Becca/A.L.I.E code in her mind which may be another possibility to save more people or to discover more about the end of the world.

- Since she has the code in her mind, it may give her access to be the smartest person on the ground (that we know of). No the show show focus 80% on survival and 20% on romance. Also yes loved characters can die, as long as there given great deaths. Here are my responses to your reasons why raven should live.

1) Yes she is the most advanced mechanic/Engineer, but I keep saying Jaha can take her role. It has been stated that he was an engineer before becoming chancellor. He is about early 50's at youngest, so he has been an engineer technically longer than raven. Given we don't know how long before the premiere he was elected chancellor, he could have been an engineer for at least 30 years if he started in his late teens. He could be more advanced than Raven for all we know, and it would be interesting to see him as an engineer/mechanic.

2) Yes I do agree that shows should have more disabled characters, So I do agree with you on that point. It has gotten better though like carl and his eye on twd.

3) Unless your talking about friend relationships, I strongly disagree with this point. The romantic relationships are really overdone on this show. We've got Clarke and Bellamy, Octavia and Lilian, Murphy and Emori, Monty and Harper, Kane and Abby, and Miller and Bryan. No more romantic relationships I swear it is running the show. We should be focusing on survival, but with all the relationships it takes up so much screen time.

4) Yes Allie/Becca in her head could help save the world. However since when she uses ALLIE it causes her brain to deteriorate, I think it would be cool if she was like f**k it I'm gonna use it to save everyone even if it kills me. In the end she sacrifices her life to save everyone. Like I keep saying as long has a character good death and have lived their story arc out than it's ok to kill them fan loved or not.

5) This point makes no since they've never mentioned anything about the smartest person on the ground. What there going to find the smartest person, and they are going to figure out a way to save everyone in six days, that's physically impossible. First they'd have to find them, and then figure out a way to save everyone and implement that plan in six days that's literally impossible. I think your desperate and grasping at straws with this point. I do agree with you on the relationships, people tend to take it too far most of the time over fictional character romance and sci-fi shows should focus more on action, but this is about Raven and

- I disagree with you in Jaha replacing her because it wouldn't work at all, he isn't as advanced like her at all there is completely no proof Jaha is even an amateur in engineering, there might be an extra who is better than him.

-Also, just because characters die sacrificing themselves doesn't mean it's a good death and people should deal with it, Lincoln sacrificed himself and fans extremely panicked, they might be fictional characters, but they still matter to the fans as fans, meaning this doesn't necessarily affect them but affects their view of the show like if you have a favorite character your most excited about seeing your character, but when your favorite is gone the show seems different, if you know what I mean.

- I agree with your TWD references, but It's your opinion that TWD is better, I personally like The 100 more.
