I also think the show generally just has too many characters though. The show promoted Tasya to series regular while I can vaguely recall 5 specific scenes she in as a significant part of the scene. Meanwhile you have characters like Miller, Jackson and Harper that have been around since season one and have a far more deeper relationship to the main characters and they deserve storyarcs of their own.

I was surprised everyone in SpaceKru survived. So I'm totally expecting one of them to die this season. I've heard people talk of Murphy which I think would be a shame. Richard is an amazing actor, his character has a lot of potential between Memori and his redemption arc with Raven. I've seen people questioning the purpose of Monty and Harper and at this point I agree, the actors deserve better (someone should count how many lines Chris Larkin had, as a series regular since S1 it's ridiculous). If Monty and Harper were to die I wouldn't mind solely because the actors deserve better. 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.

As far as Wonkru goes, I agree that Indra would have been a more impactful death, and Gaia could have refused to go which would have jeopardized her life and her influence on the rest of Wonkru to follow the flame. It would have made Octavia's turn-around more meaningful. Especially with what Indra said about being willing to die in the pit last week. Miller getting shot was predictable, agreed, but that's because they had to shoot someone whose face we know. Ethan was a plothole they had to tie up. Miller would be the only injured one we would have felt something for. But as stated above, he's not dying either. And Niylah wasn't even in the battlefield. So no casualties there.

I'm pretty sure they're killing off Kane in regards to Henry Ian Cusick's new show. So that was predictable. I thought it would be Diyoza so Vinson was an interesting twist. Seeing  his crush on Abby I had it in the back of my mind, but it was a creative way to kill off a character with political immunity. I definitely think there should be a death but killing Clarke is crazy. She's just a momma bear trying to protect her cub. I think everyone hating on Clarke just don't understand what it's like to raise a child. I think Octavia would be a heavy blow and prove no one's safe. I agree Exho shouldn't of been promoted Miller or Harper should have been promoted. I strongly disagree about Jackson though he's a C level character at best. Like you said we have way too many characters and not everyone is should have a big part. A character like Jackson is best suited to help develop other characters.

I agree Richard is is an amazing actor but I don't think he needs a redemption arc with Raven. Murphy is one of my favorites but I've been really frustrated that his character is just doing the same thing this season. I think his death could push Emori into an interesting storyline. I feel like Jason and the writers banked everything on Clarke and the Blake siblings and Raven, and when they saw how much people responded they pushed Monty and later Harper to the background. It's a shame because Christopher and Chelsea are great actors. As for echo she was raised to be a spy spies act act a curtain way. Given she was raised that way she's not just going to change her whole personality in 6 years. I think I'd be interesting if they made Echo Madi's bodyguard. My top picks for a death from spacekru is either Murphy or Raven.

Miller was predictable and Ethan was to tie up loose ends. I just wish they'd actually pull the trigger and kill Miller. We know Gaia will most likely survive so then we're left with Ethan and a bunch of redshirts, and let's be honest Ethan is pretty much a redshirt death.

It's definitely a possibility that Kane might die, but I feel doing that alienates the adult Fanbase partly. Plus even though the delinquents are now adults I still feel like we need someone Kane's age to work with diyoza and the grounders. As much as I love Abby she can't pull it off like Kane can. Also from what I can tell Henry wound be a Series regular on the new show. Most of the time actors get priority in shows where they are Series regulars. Take Lauren Cohan for example, she's got the second top billing in her new show whiskey cavalier whereas in the walking dead she's third. So whiskey cavalier takes priority. Even though Henry is last in billing he's still higher than a recurring character like Miller. O he can play Kane as a series regular and be a recurring character in his new show. Also if his new show films near where the 100 films he can still film both shows.
