I thought it was a good episode (except for Lexa's death of course). Yes, I hated that she died, but the rest of the episode was fantastic. I'd read about the Commander-Becca-ALIE-Nightblood-Polaris-etc. theories long ago so I kind of expected those bits, but they were wonderfully executed and shown and I loved it (the flashbacks, Murphy seeing and explaining the paintings on the walls).

However, I did not like (as I've already said above) Lexa's death, particularly how it was done. I mean a stray bullet, really.. I think they just ran out of ideas on that one (having Titus be responsible for it though would obviously play a part in later episodes, I think, as long as he keeps his promise and honors Lexa, hopefully by protecting and trusting Clarke or deciding to try and uphold Lexa's last wishes—blood must not have blood and easing the Skaikru in as the 13th clan maybe).

Also hate that Octavia left thinking Clarke had abandoned them. Gdi, this episode had some of the best interaction those two have had in a while, and it had to end on a bad note.

I am looking forward to the Conclave though. Shit feeling like it's going to be Ontari, and if it works out that way, I'm curious how they'll play it out.

Obviously I'm sad that Lexa's dead, but the rest of the story at this point is just so big and great and I'm going to keep looking forward to the show (right now choosing to ignore the drama that seems to be going on behind-the-scenes (the Jason stuff which I'm mostly clueless about anyway), pretending to be in the day and age when the Internet wasn't a thing and I just enjoyed my shows and movies by watching).
