The show has been getting a lot of hate for killing off lexa, but i feel its kinda unfair. i mean first of all there the whole scheduling and the fact that lexa was a guest star an dso on. But also: if you think about it lexa had to die for the story to develop; and this has been foreshadowed a pretty long time. Its also kind of important that titus was the one to kill her, on accident because in what other way would her death possibly have happened without a war between skycrew and the other clans. Titus after all, has shown signals he wants clarke out of way in order for lexa to resume what he believes are the correct duties of her people, which, being the flamekeeper, makes perfect sense why he belives he has the right to do this. Therefore him killing lexa is really the best way in which they could have portrayed her death without having that large war. Also, going back to the story development: if lexa had not died, clarke would most likely have returned to arkadia, and that war would have started, rendering them on opposite sides and forcing both to choose a side. Lexa, with the AI and everythign wouldnt really have a choice; she would have to choose her people and if clarke chose her own people.They couldnt abandom their people, clarke because of the repsonsibility she feels, and lexa because even if she would let go of her responsibility, the AI would not have let her, sothey would have been fighting a war against each other, which wouldnt have been a better storyline.
