With 50% of the vote — besting the saddest casualties of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones to date — you know this hit fans hard. Not only was the death of the Commander of the 12 Clans unexpected, it was a stupid accident — not a fitting exit for the fierce, strong, smart warrior who united all the Grounders. Even worse, Lexa died after finally consummating her relationship with Clarke, and that sparked outrage among fans who felt the death fed the "Bury Your Gays" trope (when LGBTQ characters are killed off, often right after having sex). Lexa was a fighter and a lover, and she deserved better. —Kelly Woo
