Talk:Clarke and Lexa/@comment-26164766-20150307152308

I agree with the previous commenters, that this act of Lexa's was a sign of a great/true leader. It's just like how Marcus Aurelius perceived  his position as an emperor. He had to think of the good of the empire. He had to make decisions, even if those choices were hurting him as a person, but ultimately helping his people.

As for the "Clexa" storyline, I don’t think they can do much about it in the last episode, but I’d bet that in season 3 the writers will give more depth to their relationship. Plus, in my opinion I doubt that this “betrayal” would permanently damage the ties between the two characters. Especially knowing that both of them are “born leaders”, therefore eventually Clarke will forgive Lexa, after the heat of the moment is gone, she will understand that it was the best choice and – just like Lexa said – she would have done the same.
