1) I feel Monty is the only one who cares about jasper, and the others are only trying to keep him from screwing up or doing stupid things. At this point Jasper is a jerk who needs to die, before he gets someone killed.

2) I feel both Abby and Raven are needed in the group. Jackson I feel can never take over Abby's role of lead medic, and I'm surprised he's survived this long actually. Both have people who can take over their job to some extent, Raven has Monty and Abby has Clarke. Monty and Clarke could takeover their role in the group so I say it's 50/50 of who could die.

3) I disagree with you about the writers killing Gina, Lexa and Anya. Gina needed to die to get last season Bellamy who should have never happened, so Gina should have never existed. I did like Lexa, but I feel she had a good story, and if she lived we probably would have never got Luna or more Roan. As for Anya I feel her death was fine, because I don't really know where her story could have gone in season 2. If you can give me a story line for these characters moving on past their deaths, then maybe I'll change my opinion. As for Harper they've built her up since season 2 to be an important character, and continued to so since to he point I feel she could be a main character. 1) I don't know if Monty is the only person who cares about Jasper. I feel like Octavia also cares a lot about Jasper. I think Bellamy and Clarke also care a lot about Jasper. I say this because, he was in the 100. Jasper has been there for many important moments so of course they would care.

Also, Jasper is going through what I believe to be depression. I don't buy into killing him off because he's dealing with his issues. Don't get me wrong, Jasper has been trying my patience since Season One yet, he is still one of my favorites. I dare say many would be upset over his death because his change throughout the seasons represents so many in The 100 community.

2) I agree that both Abby and Raven are needed which is why I wouldn't want them to go. However if I had to choose between a young mechanic and an elder medic, I'm going to have to go with Raven. Jackson is Abby's apprentice. It is my assumption that he has learned enough infomation at this point to ALMOST equate Abby's level of knowlege. Monty isn't on the same level as Raven which isn't to say that Monty isn't brillant, but that he wasn't trained to be an engineer. He was recruited, but never trained. Jaha could be the only one to  POSSIBILTY replace Raven, but that's what brings me to my next point.

There is the age difference. Raven is young, possibily 19 while Abby has to be in her 40's. Logically, it would make sense to kill off the elder person in order to sustain life. Even Abby has realized this which is why she has stepped back from her leadership role a bit. She and Kane are allowing Clarke and Bellamy to become leaders so that when she and Kane are gone, leaders will be in place.

Unfortunaty, logic doesn't matter in The 100 universe. Who's death will be the most shocking will ultimatly decide who dies. Raven has the fanbase, but Abby has connections that will hurt The 100 fandom (I.E Clarke and Kane). I guess we'll have to wait.

3) I'm not saying that Gina, Lexa, or Anya's deaths weren't meaningful to the storyline. I was pointing out that the writers of The 100 have habit of building up characters (mostly women) to only take them away with a stroke of their pens. There could have been many different alternatives to any of these women dying, but what's done is done so I shall not dwell on it. My only point is that I hope Harper, a young woman who we are finally beginning to aknowledge as more than a side character, isn't being built up just so we can be shocked when she is taken away.

Let us not revist the Bellamy-Gina arch with Monty and Harper.
