Commander Lexa [Alycia Debnam Carey] #1: "The massacre must be answered. Blood must have blood."
 

I'm really exited to learn more about Lexa. They have a lot of back story to fill in for us. How did she gain her position as Commander? What are the twelve nations, and what was the Ice Queen's problem?? Is she going to change how the Grounders act toward the Sky People through this alliance?

I hope the writers take the time to give her a meaningful back story. I really wanted to have some Anya backstory, but look at how well that turned out. :pout: I don't want them to do the same thing with Lexa.

Add me, please? :)

Did she say something about twelve nations? I think I missed that entirely.

^I need to go back and re-watch but I think she said something about the number of nations and how despite the Ice Nation having killed her girlfriend, Lexa still brought them into the alliance. Did I imagine that? I was a little distracted last Wednesday night. :lol:

Thanks for starting the thread, Josie! Will you add me, please?

Sure :) adding you now.

That story she told Clarke. I didn't know how to take it. Some are saying the girl she talked about was her girlfriend, others are saying that maybe they were more like sisters. I hope this is brought up again. There are too many open ended character stories.

I'm pretty sure Lexa was talking about her girlfriend. She was comparing the loss she went through with Clarke's loss of Finn. I don't think the show really needs to delve too much deeper. Since then Lexa chose never to love or care about someone again and she more or less advises Clarke to do the same.

I can see this show focussing too much on relationships, which is kind of one reason I was happy they killed Finn off as it eliminates that Bellemy/Clarke/Finn triangle they had going.

I like Lexa, hopefully they keep her around and don't kill her off as quickly as Anya.

If it is that type of relationship and Lexa becomes more of a regular in the series, I'm sure her past will be brought up again especially if they give her a romantic relationship.

I think they're giving us some interesting hints... Since Lexa compared Clarke&Finn relationship to her own relationship with her girlfriend, I'm assuming they were into a romantic relationship. Also the way Lexa stared at Clarke while she was sleeping, when she might be watching the surroundings or whatever, lead me to think they want to take their relationship to that territory... Saving each others lives makes them bond and even though Lexa acts like a heartless leader, she might be developing feelings for Clarke. You can't control who you fall in love with...

I could see her developing feeling for Clarke, but I'm hoping they don't go there.

I really do need to know more about how she was chosen as the Commander. She said it was reincarnation (right? Or something like that?) but do they have some sort of shaman that can "see" this. If Lexa dies, is it a baby that is chosen and her second (who I guess is Indra now) becomes the leader until the baby comes of age? Or do they believe that the soul of the dead Commander goes into the person that they deem most worthy. Here's hoping we get some of those answers.

Although, tbh, I feel like we're getting those answers b/c a new Commander of the Grounders is gonna happen by the end of this season...

It could be something to explore. I'm interested in learning more about. I thought the reincarnation is just the next potential chosen. Don't they all have someone in training, someone to take their place if they die?

I don't want her to die. :bawl: I actually really like the character.

I don't really want her to die either but it really did feel like the how-a-new-Commander-is-chosen conversation was foreshadowing that a new Commander will be chosen by the end of the season. :shrug:

I like her too. She's another great strong female character. Plus, besides Lincoln and Anya she's the only one that's truly been willing to work with Arkers and if she dies then the alliance dies and what they're trying to build with the Grounders will be lost.

If she dies what if Clarke gets chosen.

I would be sad though is she did die.

Add me please. :hug:

Added :) Welcome

Cheers ever since her first episode I have adored her.

I could see her dying and Octavia being chosen as the new leader lol.

But the commanders are chosen by who their spirit has gone into. Octavia being alive at the same time would stop that.

I can't see the grounders letting one of the sky people rule them, even if it is Octavia.

^Is it reincarnation? Or do they believe that the spirit of the commander can go into anyone? It wasn't really clear to me at all.

If Lexa's people find out that she let so many of them die, I think things could go very badly for her. I just can't help but think that she's going to have to deal with some bigger consequences from her decision.

From this I assume reincarnation. They're found young and they taught to be the leader, hence anya teaching her.

Interesting. I wonder if giving us this information, something like that will happen at the end of the season. I really don't Lexa to be killed.

I loved this show before, but lexa became my favourite in seconds.

^ She's so badass, I seriously don't know how to cope with it.

Everytime Lexa does something I find myself singing either "I'm a boss ass b*tch" or "I'm too hot, hot damn!" She's the best. :thud:
