A lot of people think that should be cancelled too and a lot of diehard TWD fans are not happy with it. The ratings for that have dropped very badly and average lower every season. And for half a year Alycia is doing next to nothing. I think she is surely feeling the burn of regret, since the beginning like at Copenhagen con, she was close to begging people to watch it, they only wanted to talk talk about Lexa, lol. The same Loo people that stalk her are the only ones to obsess over Fear, basically because it gives them new unsettling Alycia fanfics. And I think from her self 'promo' pics, Alycia knows the audience she is targeting, if you know what I mean.

But I actually discussed this not too long ago with others, one of them was saying they didn't for one second buy that it was a complete schedule clash and she couldn't do both. It was more that sheis only wanted to dedicate her time to the show she thought would pay off for her (Fear the Walking Dead). It is no secret that she thought it would be HUGE. Guess she didn't antipate the criticism she would get and that her risk fell through, it is pretty clear now that she made the bad choice. If she stuck with Lexa, she could have been huge in her own right. But Alicia Clark? Hardly anyone is talking about that character, she is not unique or special. If Alycia wasn't Lexa first, nobody would know who she is at this stage.

So do I think that if Jason did some serious grovelling, maybe even offering a bonus, that she might either ask to be killed off Fear or magically be able to do both again? I think it is VERY possible. Alycia knows who people really love, LEXA. And money talks. Unless Fear does so happen to get cancelled as you say. But that could still take a while.

As for The 100 though, it totally needs her. I said it before and I will say it again, it's true ending should have been season 3. With the ratings downfall and its constant frustrating plot, it is rightly on its way out. NOBODY can replace Lexa no matter who they introduce. EVER. All the good characters except Clarke are already dead! Then I guess you've also not been paying attention, have you?

This show, The 100, is walking the razor edge. One wrong move and it ends. In fact the way this season was set up, was to put a end to this show.

Yes, they say that night blood is the answer for everyone to survive, but there's a few problems that the show seems to be trying to throw sand to people's faces.

1. Even with the new conveniently discovered high tech lab - that even before this season started I already discussed how I believed something like this was gonna be found - I'd like to know which geneticist is gonna discover how to give everyone night blood. It's already one hell of a stretch that Raven out of nowhere became a expert programmer, if she or someone else out of nowhere also becomes a expert geneticist, I'm calling it mega BS right now.

2. Even if everyone or most of them gain night blood, how are they gonna survive even then. Luna got extremely sick just by eating radioactive fish. Imagine when the very air they breathe is filled with radioactivity. When the water is filled with radioactivity. When everything from plants to animals start to die out because of the nuclear fallout. What are they gonna eat or drink, for that matter. Or simply survive in a world where basically everything is dead or dying. And will remain so for centuries if not millenia.

So this show is also on the edge of the abyss. Not sure if it's gonna survive this season less alone the idea of more seasons being made.

It's true that they were at least clever in revealing why the new generation of nuclear reactors took so long to go on meltdown mode. I'll give them credit for that, but the "wall" is there nonetheless. The show corner itself into a wall, and no matter how much night blood they throw in the face of the viewers. No one is that stupid or ignorant, to the point they don't even think "Okay, you gave a way for humans to survive radioactivity, to some degree. But what of everything else? The environment. How are they gonna survive in a constant irradiated environment!?"

So Alycia in a way she's well where she is right now. Because as of this moment she coming back would be hyper BS, and it would serve no real purpose. And she could only return as a kind of ghostly character.

Let's say that Lexa mind somehow survived. Well, her body is quite dead and decaying, so any chance for her to return as a person is gone. Lexa aka Alycia would've to resign herself to let's say, share the body and mind of Clarke and maybe guide her. Which would be a role that would suck for any actress.

So as I see it, bad as the FTWD might be right now. At least it's got options. It can improve if they just make the characters do more relevant things. At least there, she can actually act. To leave that for another show which future is all but uncertain, would be shooting herself in both feet. If anything, if FTWD ends, Alycia needs to find a new show to go to. Because as of this season, The 100, seems to be at death door. The producers didn't create just one problem, but a whole series of them. So unless on that lab there's a time machine tucked away in a corner, and someone makes a daring trip to the past, The 100, is living its final season.
