^Somebody on another website brought up a good point: Not everyone gets to die an honorable death. In real life, people die for all kinds of random reasons (cancer, murder, car crashes, etc) and none of those deaths are very honorable...

Not everyone on the show gets honorable deaths either, even if they are the "good guys". Wells was killed by Charlotte because she misunderstood Bellamy's words. Anya died by a spray of bullets.

So even if Lexa doesn't die a second honorable death in the CoL, I might be able to live with that. Because in the end, it doesn't matter if somebody dies an honorable death if they lived an honorable life, which Lexa did. She strived to do better than the previous Commanders. She sought peace instead of war. She was willing to lay down her life for people who wanted her dead. I won't think anything less of her just because she was killed by a random bullet and not on the battlefield, and I don't think anyone else should either.
