But my top pick to kill off anyone from SpaceKru would be Echo. I think the producers were aiming for some sort of sweet redemption story but at some point between 5x01 and 5x04 they lost track of that and she slipped back into her old sadistic ways. The way she spoke to Clarke, who saved her life? The way she wanted to kill Shaw? It's like echo's entire personality is her being a spy? And I don't think that's the women Bellamy fell in love with? So at this point, they should kill her off. Because they promoted Tasya to series regular just like Zach McGowan so if they kill her off they can keep their "this show kills off main charactres" quota they've been aiming at since S1. Just a reminder that Echo was, is and will always be a spy. And she's the best spy. It's not something you learn. You have to be born this way. You need to be very intelligent, loyal and at the same time follow your brain's choices, not your heart's. It's like being a policeman or doctor from calling - you don't ever finish your job, not even after hours. You are your job. When she was up on the Ark there were no threats, no loyalty problems whatsoever. The second they got to the ground it turned out suddenly there's another conflict. And Echo chose her side - Spacekru. And she's doing all in her power, very smartly, to achieve her goal - helping Spacekru win. And if that means helping Octavia, so be it. In my eyes she's one of the best characters currently, she's not weighed down by emotions, she's following the logic of achieving her goal in any way possible. And she didn't kill Shaw, which wouldn't be a bad idea, honestly. And the way she spoke to Clarke? Have you seen the way Clarke spoke to her? If they kill her, we'd be down another character who follows her head not her heart and we would be left with... Um... Indra? Now-Drug-Addict Abby? Turned-Ruthless Octavia? Yeah, I think I'd stick with Echo, thank you.
