, you’re probably still reeling from this week’s shocking death. And you’re not alone.

The 100 EP Defends [Spoiler]’s Death: ‘It Seemed to Be the Best Choice’

Alycia Debnam Carey, whose Commander Lexa died in Clarke’s arms after being caught in Titus’ crossfire, is mourning the loss of her character on social media, while also thanking fans for their undying (no pun intended) support.

The process began late Thursday night with this heartbreaking Instagram post:

Thank you to those who banded together to create an incredible and inspiring character. She could have never burst into fruition without such a flux of creativity, passion and collaboration that extends greater than a singular autonomy of my own. To the writers, directors, crew – hair, makeup, costumes, stunts, actors and Jason who helped me capture her essence. Thank you to all the fans for bringing her further to life, your passion is everything. It has been an honour to portray her. To envelop myself in her skin. To be given the freedom to represent a moment in our cultural and social zeitgeist – she has left a great imprint on me. I will miss her. May we meet again. X adc

Then came a flood of tweets, thanking the fans, showrunner Jason Rothenberg, and the entire cast and crew of 

Thank you to the whole #the100 team for the beautiful and passionate collaboration of Lexa. It truly takes a team.

Thank you to @JRothenbergTV for such an opportunity and for breaking the rules and pushing to envelope continually. #the100

The actors on #the100, who are beyond supportive, hardworking and blow my mind with their talent! What a lucky playground we explore.

The fans. Thank you for being there with Lexa – for your love and support. You're the reason we get to play. #the100

And thanks to the Academy – seeing I'm coming across a bit intense and getting super sappy all over your timeline… cue the music #the100

TVLine spoke with Rothenberg about the decision to write out Debnam Carey, who was basically on loan this season from AMC, where she stars in 

“Lots of factors went into this, No. 1 being that [she] is a series regular on another show,” Rothenberg told us. “As hard as it was to do, because of how much I love the character and the actor, it seemed to be the best choice.”

fans, have you even begun to accept Lexa’s death? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

” who was basically on loan this season from AMC, where she stars in Fear the Walking Dead.” and that’s why I wasn’t surprised she was killed off. I was surprised she was in the show this season at all.

I liked the character but from the moment she got cast on “Fear” it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that she would be leaving soon… It was a good episode and I hope it leads to some compelling storylines going forward.

killing a lesbian character off by a stray bullet right after a love scene……. groundbreaking. bye the 100.

Would you prefer they recast the role since the main actress would likely be unavailable due to her new show?

she could have been off screen or in a coma or anything else, literally anything else. none of the other guest stars are in all of the episodes and they clearly dont need her anymore for the plot, he could have also shot her scenes later when she was available again, they shot it all in one go after all before airing. stealing one of the most iconic and tragic scenes from whedon to kill off one character representing a minority is the worst jason could have done. especially after going around and calling himself a representative of said minority. he used one of the worst tropes ever “queer girl dies after five minutes of happyness” and it is unexcusable. everyone knew she would die, everyone was expecting it, but the execution, the build up, its the worst. her storyline now is that love is weakness and does get you killed. peace is unattainable bc peace keeper leaders get killed (by stray bullets from their father figures who disagree with their (queer) relationship) no less. the execution is the problem, not the death itself. also that “she was cast on ftwd” is a bs excuse. if jason wanted her, he could have given her a different contract last season already. and there were a million ways how to work around this. if he is not creative enough to write something else than “queer girl dies after sex with gf the same way tara died on buffy” then Im sorry, but this is not the show for me. And it is his fault for not thinking outside the box. and this doesnt even touch on the fact that i only ignored his racism bc at least the rest of the show was good, but polis was literally the only interesting thing about s3 and the queer representation endeared him to me, but now it is clear he was just baiting that minority for raitings and after promising he wasnt just using them and wouldnt use the lesbian death trope he does and does it in the worst way. heda lexa doesnt die in battle for something she believes in. but she dies bc her father figure doesnt agree with her relationship with another girl. literally everyone deserved better than this. so yeah, her death was not inevitable, and if it was, it could have been done much much better. and without ripping off other showrunners.

It wasn’t that the character didnt want her to have a relationship with a girl… he said she shouldnt have a relationship with anyone that love would make her weak… it wasnt about being gay.

The actual storyline is the need for vengeance gets the ones closest to you killed, as Titus found out. That ties into everything the show has been emphasizing this season.Hopefully you noticed that he intended to kill Clarke because she’s from Skaikru as is Murphy who’s been making “heretical” statements contrary to the legend of the Commander?

Hopefully you noticed that Clarke is still alive – are you expecting her to also get killed off as well?

Geez, it’s fiction, it’s not an allegory, get a life.

How about not have the character killed 5 min after having sex with Clarke?

You know, what most people are complaining isn’t the fact that they killed Lexa, it’s the how. They could have done the exact same thing, minus the queerbaiting.

Well they killed Clarke’s previous love interest on the show also… so maybe she’s just unlucky? If they killed her without them every getting together people would be complaining about that also… you cant win.

I dont think her being a .lesbian had anything to do with her getting killed off. She had to leave the show because of her new show so they gave her a dramatic death scene.

but she was a lesbian and merely a guest star. saying he couldnt make it work makes this lazy writing and his lazyness shows toward a character that represented a minority. of course that is an issue.

I think you have to let the storyline play out… her death probably will move the story forward and lead to new things…. calling it lazy writing when you dont know the next step in the story is wrong… The show has a ton of minorities on it so saying something like that seems inaccurate to me.

Silly comments all of them, this is not your story to write. That’s why we all watch, to be entertained, to be surprised, to have our emotions raised or dashed, that’s called entertainement. You may think you can write a better story, do it just not here.

She was the best character. This was a bad choice.. I don’t know if I want to see another episode without her in it.

Wow, talk about getting blindsided. First Lexa is killed, out of no where, then we learn the suprising backstory of Polairus that is directly conected to Lexa, Wow! That’s getting hit by a truck followed by being run over by a bus and bleeding out on a lonely dark street. Bravo, never saw any of that coming.

The story line this season was cruel. If they knew they were only going to use her for a few episodes and were going to kill her, why give their LGBT fans so much hope? Why film the finale in the open to give hope? Why give so many interviews about how the show is different and progressive? Because they needed the viewers and the hype for another season. They used their LGBT fans and then cast them aside by blaming Alycia and AMC for “scheduling conflicts”. This episode was filmed in September and FTWD didn’t start filming until December. Scheduling my ass. This was just lazy writing.

The show is different and progressive…. Her dying doesnt change that. And he said in his interview they only had her for seven episodes. I dont know when this episode filmed but the actress might have wanted some time off between shoots or AMC required them to be there earlier for rehearsals or something like that. Again, saying “lazy writing” when you dont know where the storyline is going is lazy commenting.

I hope that the android thing that was removed carried on the feelings for clarke from lexa and it chooses a new commander that clarke would grow to come close to. I hope the love she and lexa had does not die. They said the commanders are passed on through that little thing from the neck, so im hoping. Titus did say it chooses so i will cross my fingers.

The new commander will probably be that blonde kid they have been showing the last couple of episodes…… However, the City of Light thing seems to have something to do with reincarnation so you never know.

So far all the commanders have been women. They said the next would have been the girl wo was with the ice queen even after Lexa said Aiden would be next at the beginning of the episode. But Titus saying the gadget would choose could very well be a surprising twist for clarke and us all hopefully :)

I cant believe it ! The best actor on the show gets killed off. I’m not watching it anymore. Lol.

Sorry but I won’t watch the rest of the show. It was queer baiting at its finest and honestly, I feel betrayed, especially with how much JRoth preached about being progressive and how much hope he gave to Clexa fans this season. He was just stringing along the fans for the ratings.

Lexa’s one of the most beloved (and the most popular) character they’ve ever had on the show. Most of the people in the fandom watched the show because of her.

I won’t even be surprised if the ratings tank on the next episode. And by the looks of the promo, it looks boring anyway.

Say goodbye to your Season 4 renewal, Jason. You just killed your own show.

yeah, clarke isn’t in the next episode either. So even more boring. I quit this show.

Well next week this show is going to realize a new battle cry:

Let’s face it, she is dead, it was going to happen, the show producers were lucky enough to have her for this long seeing that she stars in Fear the Walking Dead, and as much as I hate it because I love Lexa and the Commander we all know this was going to happen.

You all keep screaming about how a lesbian character gets killed after having sex, so what? It happens in many shows, hell Game of Thrones shows babies getting slaughtered and kids getting drowned, it’s not about the minority because how often do you see a Bi character star as the main protagonist.

Alycia (Lexa) was always going to die, its the sad but harsh reality of the acting world, you can’t star in two shows at once because for one it tough on the actor/actress because she has double the work to do and reason number two the producers of both shows will have to share her and that doesn’t work in the industry she’s in.

I loved Eliza’s (Clarkes) and Alycia’s (Lexas) chemistry but I think we all know where this show is going to end up in terms of Clarkes love interests and that’s either with Bellamy or nobody at all.

I personally thought that the episode was well done and it was an excellent way to say goodbye to a great character.

It’s gross that people are now posting J Roth’s address on social media because of a character death.

This show is done. Never watching it. Will NOT support another show that feeds into the pervasive, harmful, stupid lesbian death trope. Never again. We were used for ratings once again. I hope this show gets cancelled.

I hope that this was “fake” death. That is favorite now. Maybe she have to run somewhere. 12 clans are not ready for her philosophy Blood must not have blood.
