Well then... having just read over this whole page, I think i can come to a verdict that someone is merely overreacting to the death of Lexa. "Like killing katniss everdeen", lol, give me a break! It is completely and totally insane to place lexa on the same level of name brand recognition as Katniss. I have found season 4 refreshing, as it has returned to its roots. I see alot of season 1 and early season 2 elements in it, and these are what made the 100 great to start with. As for "pie in the sky", season 4 has, thus far, been radically more realistic than season 3, so that argument is irrelevant.

TV rating have not experienced a drastic decline, and they do not account for online viewership, such as via Netflix (where many people, including my self, watch their weekly episode of the 100). Killing Lexa was not the writers choice anyway, it was Alycias, as she choose to move on to FTWD instead (a mistake on her part in my opinion). Most Lexa fans understand this, and thus know that Lexa cannot be brought back, not only due to the fact that it would make no sense for the plot, but also because "lexa" (Alycia) doesnt want to be brought back, she opted to move on to FTWD, hence the sudden death. Lexa fans who are now trashing the show are in the minority among even their own fan base, as most Lexa fans, again, understand why she is no longer there. To be frank, few people outside of harcore Clexa shippers are actually considering leaving, and those people clearly didnt bother to read between the lines regarding why she was killed off... newsflash, it was one of the most predictable deaths in TV history, and had nothing to do with the LGBT, merely an actor leaving a show.

The 100 is a great show, continues to improve, and will not lose me as a viewer and supporter... in fact, in my circles, its gaining viewers.
