I haven't watched FTWD nor will I ever (zombies aren't my thing), however, I can say that if her talent on her new show doesn't reflect her talent on her old show it could be because the writing doesn't allow her to reach her full potential. Ex) We know she's amazing at emotional scenes, but if FTWD doesn't give her a lot of those scenes, then obviously we aren't going to see a Lexa-level performance. Doesn't mean the actress isn't as good as she used to be, could just mean the show doesn't give her the opportunity to be as good as she was previously.

Not many actors are going to have a "perfect" performance in every movie/TV show because part of having a "perfect" performance requires "perfect" writing, and not every film or show has good quality writing.

Also, even if a Grounder spin off doesn't happen with Lexa, I will still admire Alycia's talent and kindness. She didn't let the fans down by switching shows. It's called a job, which allows her to put food on her table, a roof over her head, and clothes on her back. I, as well as any sane person, wouldn't hesitate to jump at an opportunity that offered advancement.
