Let's discuss Heavy Lies the Crown!
My personal opinion:
Great episode. Decision making, some assasin moves mixed in. Grounder politics, saving the world, flashbacks and mentions. Solid 8/10

Well they actually could bring her back, I don't believe it is impossible for that to come into play at all, there were a lot of plot holes surrounding her death. And honestly I am all for it. This show needs her. I think we all know she could have made it go further but now it won't go very far at sll. And honestly, it may very soon get to the stage where even I will have to stop watching it.
Ah... Actually Lexa can't return.
The actress Alycia Debnam-Carey, that did the role of Lexa is now in the Fear The Walking Dead, TV show. So unless that show ends, Lexa is not coming back. Not totally.

Well if you have been paying attention, you will have noticed that everyone has been saying FTWD has been an almighty let down, so was her character. 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!

Well you said a lot of things that are actually true, but i have to disagree with two:
1. I don't think Alycia wanted to completely leave The 100 and definitely not for good, she loved Lexa and portraying her, it was clear. I think things got complicated with she being a regular on other show, and specially a supposedly big one with a demanding shooting schedule and Jason made the worse decision ever by killing her off instead of bothering to figure out a way of work around it and leave her storyline open, with the option of coming back if it was possible in the future, which had a high probability of happening. So he basically just wasted one of the most incredble characters ever, like that, like they grow on trees or something. So unbelievably stupid... i can't even begin to understand!
2. Clarke isn't the only good character left, we still have Octavia who I think is an awesome badass character and there are others really cool like Raven, Roan, Indra...!

It is hard to know what went through Alycia's head, she as an actress has done some things in the past that I would have otherwise considered out of character and surprising, but not in a good way. Maybe she is ruled by money and the LA socialite life. Maybe she did just want to go for the money maker. Of course she probably loved playing such a unique character like Lexa. But Alycia like many actors, thinks about the money side of things, which she can get more out of. But if she is having to beg people to watch her other show and send out some pics of herself to promote it, that is not great for her. And right now she is likely trapped in her contract but if Jason offered enough, I do think she would make an effort to just deal with the two busy schedules again.
So essentially I wouldn't worry too much about Alycia because I think she would be open to it and would try to make it work, considering she got a bit arrogant in the first place and now has been brought back down to earth with a bang by how insignificant Fear and her character turned out to be in comparison. As I said, she knows who is loved, Lexa.
And I have to disagree, I find characters like Raven and Octavia aggressive, moody and annoying now. None of the girls and not the new ones either, were quite as amazing as Lexa. Because if Clarke died, for me the show definitely might aswell be over, I wouldn't watch any of the others on it. Roan is cool I admit but they always make those ones into baddies so because they are kinda changing him, I am not impressed and am possibly wasting my time rooting for him.
But the fact is, no new character they introduce will be good enough at this stage, nobody is up to Alycia's standards and Lexa's sheer uniqueness. So for me Clarke is the only one worth watching. But I have been so bored with it lately, I am considering tuning out and not having to endure the tortorpus storylines to come and perhaps only tune back in when Jason in a last ditch panic, mighg give Alycia a call. And forget Fear the Walking Dead too, I will not watch anymore of that again, it was terrible!! And everything, the characters the plot, the acting. The only thing I would say is it is less controversial than the 100. So I might just end it soon and only tune in if things change, because this show just isn't doing it for a lot of folks anymore.

You can't blame Alycia for leaving the show, I blame Jason for not signing her to a contract that kept her on the show. Alycia did what was best for her career as a young actress trying to establish herself. The" Walking Dead" franchise is a proven hit ,so it makes perfect sense to join FTWD. As an actor you are always trying to reach a wider audience and FTWD offered that.
Well if you have been paying attention, you will have noticed that everyone has been saying FTWD has been an almighty let down, so was her character. 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.

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.
Hey, what if Lexa had a twin sister and they put the flame in her and she becomes "Lexa". It's a sci-fi show, anything is possible.
Quote: Hey, what if Lexa had a twin sister and they put the flame in her and she becomes "Lexa". It's a sci-fi show, anything is possible.
If Lexa had a twin sister than her twin would be already dead – either killed by Lexa herself or another novitiate during the Conclave (similar to how Luna killed her own brother).
what if ? what if ? The writers are cleaver , they will find a way to bring her back if they want too. The real question is ,is her storyline relevant to where the show is heading , if it survives another season.
I highly doubt it will. Bad enough that every solution Raven comes up with hits a wall, but now she's gotten even smarter. Not only that it seems she's not the only one. Everyone that had their chips disabled by an electromagnetic source are all in risk of possessing part of ALIE code.
I mean... This is already starting to feel like the Matrix, only this time the One is Raven. She gets instant upgrades of intelligence. Hell, she even flew. Mentally but still, what I found interesting was that it seemed that like Neo, she had separated her mind from her body and was watching things as they were really happening. And so we can wonder with what the producers are gonna come up next. Telepathy? Telekinesis? This season is already going off the rails as it's.
They needed the water purifier. It was used as a bomb. They needed fuel to go into space and make night blood, and the ark is blown to bits. So no fuel to go into space.
If nothing else it seems the message is clear... They're all gonna die!
