See, this is completely OOC for the couple and that is what has a lot of the Linctavia fandom upset. On top of it, Lincoln is the only Grounder in the Main cast. Killing him off leaves the main cast as all Sky People. I won't even go into the racist connotations behind him dying to prop up Octavia's storyline but let's just say that has a lot of people pissed off, too. The general consensus in the Linctavia fandom has been to stop watching the show if/when his death occurs and I'm almost certainly with them on this boycott.

Good for Ricky getting a show where he's appreciated and his Linctavia fans will be following him. I know I will be. I don't necessarily see where this is OOC for their characters. Both are outsiders among their people. Octavia because of her backstory on the ark has never considered herself among the sky people, and Lincoln from childhood on had an interest in other people, whether it be the sky person he found as a child or his early fascination with the 100 and Octavia. It is clear he was ostracized from his own people for that curiousity as they are more kill first ask questions later and he was always more interested in learning more. Always trying to bridge the gap between groups. Always opting for peace. Octavia and Lincoln are on opposites sides of the coin, so their different philosophies were going to come to a head at some point. Octavia just wants to leave it all behind but Lincoln wants everyone to come together and doesn't want to keep running from it. Those ideals were going to come in conflict with each other eventually.
