"Even if Lexa's death did need to happen, it did not need to happen in that manner."

I'm kind of glad they gave her the unpredictable death. I've already posted in the forums that it doesn't matter if she didn't die on the battlefield, that she didn't die an honorable death but a random one instead, because she lived an honorable life. Her actions to do better than the previous Commanders and the current Grounder lifestyle, to create long-lasting peace instead of war, to create a life worth living in, one worth all of the deaths that took place, is what she will be remembered by. So what if she didn't die protecting her people? She did enough of that during her lifetime. Her death was random, yes, but it didn't cause me to think any less of her. She isn't any less a hero just because she died in such a careless way. Not everyone gets an honorable death. Not everyone in the show gets one either (Wells, Anya, etc). It was more realistic this way.
