^Like I've said, Clarke rubbed off on Lexa. She challenged and encouraged Lexa to do better. Lexa was already a visionary and she just progressed as time went on. I really like the new her. She was never a horrbile person and that was obvious, but she certainly wasn't this good. Even if Clexa never happens, I will still love the positive influence Clarke has on Lexa.

The decision was definitely a surprise and tbh, it seems like it happened too fast because they're rushing. They should have showed Lexa becoming more merciful over the course of a few episodes. It's on the same boat with Bellamy's massacre. It happened but just too fast. But since the storylines are rushed this season, we're just going have to deal with it because it's not just this one storyline, it's all of them. They should have cut down on the number of plots so there would be more time to tell the current ones.
