Nicely phrased.

I agree 100% with what you have said about Clexa. She is a good leader, but not a good lover. I like that way of putting it.

As for Clarke and Octavia in TonDC, it still doesn't really sit well with me. I don't know how that whole situation will be repaired (if that's where the show goes). From one perspective, even if Clarke had wanted to save Octavia, the missile came pretty fast and Clarke barely had time to get her own mother out. An evacuation of TonDC would ultimately have failed and blown Bellamy's cover at the same time. The part that bothers me is that Octavia didn't even seem to cross Clarke's mind. She didn't attempt to save her.

I agree with you that Bellamy will have a pretty hard time forgiving Clarke for that, especially considering she lied to him about Octavia being in TonDC to begin with. I hope that the writers don't just brush over that; I want it to come up because I'm still not entirely certain how Bellamy will react to that. I'd like to believe that he will forgive her ("If you need forgiveness I'll give that to you; you're forgiven") but it is really hard to say at this point.

I also understand what you said about Clarke consulting Bellamy, but under these particular circumstances, I'm not really sure that was an option. Yes, she had the opportunity to speak with Bellamy before she left for TonDC. I honestly believe that it was her full intention to get everyone, or as many people as possible, out of TonDC when she, Bellamy, and Raven had finished speakin. That is, up until Lexa convinced her otherwise. At that point, she had to make a quick decision and there really was no time for her to radio Bellamy about what to do or her, along with everyone else, would be blown to bits before she came to a conclusion.

It's a tricky situation. I hope that Bellamy and Clarke can sort it out. And I also see how their relationship becoming romantic could ruin their partnership. For this reason, I hope that if they do get together, it will be at the very end.
