The Blakes and Lincoln were the only reason I kept watching this show past its weak start and if any of those three go, then there's no reason for me to keep watching. I like all the other characters well enough but that won't make up for the absence of any of those three.

There have been several shows this has happened to me with, whether it's a character death or not-death (Rachel Zane from Suits, Betsy Ross from Sleepy Hollow) or a really stupid plot point or drama being introduced for the sake of drama or even really bad tech that just won't quit. (I'll put up with a couple of tech mistakes, but Scorpion and PoI...just NO!) There are so many numerous options and better alternatives out there now that I no longer have any reason to continue suffering through a show that has lost my interest.

I like Lexa and all but she was only in a handful of episodes towards the end of the second season and she's not even a "main" character. If it wasn't for social media, I probably would have barely remembered her. Now, I have been so completely over-saturated with Lexa stuff that I'm just bored and tired of it all. Besides, I've always preferred a redemption-seeking character better than a stern-faced leader with a heart of gold. (And I hope they don't make Lexa into a redemption-seeking character next season because that might be just as bad as killing any of the three Blakes.)
