Oh, no worries. I didn't think anyone was trying to bring real world things into this thread. But, I did bring up the idea of people being seen as disposable on the show, and that forced me into thoughts of how some in the real world do that.

Getting it back to the show, you definitely have a point. Look at Clarke. I realize she has been pushed into the position of war leader, and in that she had to kill Finn to spare him a death by slow torture. Even knowing it was the lesser of two evils, a thing like that should haunt her, but all we got was the next episode a few times she hallucinates him until Lexa gives her the "love is weakness" speech and a few minutes later Clarke tells "Phantom Finn" to piss off, the illusion walks away, and it's almost as if Finn never existed. Yeah, it does seem to me she discared him with about as much feeling as I might have tossing out some old and ripped undeewear.

Sure, some may say she's trying to be pragmatic, focusing on the immediate problem of Mt Weather. However, if you actually give half a crap about someone, those thoughts do not get so easily suppressed. I can accept she may need to keep a stoic "public face", but in private, when she has time to think, those thoughts of losing Finn should occasionally come back to the surface despite what she wants. Especially since in the timeline of the show, it can't be much more than a week since she did it.
