Talk:Blood Must Have Blood (Part 1)/@comment-26398679-20150514073710

Ok, obviously at the end of the first part of the finale there was going to be a shocking twist. Episodes never end on a satisfying note that puts the viewers at ease. It's a common element that television shows contain, and especially this one, that keeps their viewers talking and guessing until the next epsiode. Also, it is not uncommon with shows from the CW to keep romances with good chemistry to be delayed forever. Example: Clarke and Finn have sex, four episodes into the first season, and it seems like nothing bad will happen right when a conflict occurs (Raven). The viewers build so much anticipation for the relationships to work out. Except now it is with Clarke and Lexa, and some viewers were smart enought to realize the trend repeating itself. So taking what we have observed from all 28 episodes so far, we can infer that the conflict for their relationship working out was Lexa's obligation to her people. That still leaves plenty of room for their relationship to work out. And remeber, in the arc of every story, there is a conflict, but after that it all gets better. Although it's cruel for the viewers to wait until the fall of 2015 to pick up where they left off, at least the conflict of the Clexa's relationship has been addressed.

That being said, the writers purposefully left the constraints of the deal ambiguous, so that all that the viewers could do was just assume for the worst. I know if you've just watched this episode you may have doubts, but if you rewatch the ending, you will pick-up on Clarke and Lexa's clues that show that it may not be as bad as it seems. For instance, just because something occurs doesnt mean that something else couldn't of also occured. It's important to watch this show with an open-mind, because more often than not, things are never just what they appear to be. Because there is so much information not said, there is so much information that will be revealed that will justify all the things you lost hope about. And remember: the show is not evil and the writers are not sadistic. Therefore, they won't make any rash decesions that will result in the loss of viewers. It's extremely hard for characters to be killed-off The 100, including those in a new relationship with all sorts of aspects that haven't been explored yet.
