Could Lexa’s Death On ‘The 100’ Be Viewed Positively By The LGBT Community?:
The INQUISITIR writes,
Is it possible that Lexa’s death on The 100 could actually be viewed in a positive way by the LGBT community? At the moment, there are thousands of people angry and frustrated at the removal of a lesbian character, but there could be another way to look at this.
There were valid points when The 100 decided to suddenly kill off Lexa. It showed that Jason Rothenberg was going in the same direction as so many other shows: bringing in gay characters just to get rid of them. There are very few shows on TV that support gay and lesbian characters, and most of them will kill them off in some way. Supernatural faced backlash for killing off Charlie during Season 10 for no reason.

As for her own reaction when she heard how Lexa’s story would go in Season 3, Debnam-Carey said, “I was just like, ‘Oh, I’ve got to do this really well! I’ve got to make sure I work really hard and do the character justice.’ Which is hard because that show, we run so quickly and we work really fast, so you’re never quite able to perfect anything, I think. But which also makes it so alive, because it’s constantly moving and developing as you’re filming.”

Debnam-Carey was seen on the set of the Season 3 finale of The 100, but when I asked her what she could say about that appearance, she laughed and coyly replied, “What was the question? Can I talk about it? No.”
