The series finale of The 100 had many shocking twists, but none so massive as the long-awaited return of a fan-favorite character. Sort of.

“...her (Lexa’s) reappearance here is a beautiful nod to the important role she did – and still does – play in Clarke’s life. The chemistry between the pair still crackles, and there’s a certain catharsis in seeing Debnam-Carey and Eliza Taylor share the screen with each other one more time before the final credits roll.

Yet, the moment also rings terribly hollow. Because this isn’t Lexa, and forcing a god-judge to wear her face in The 100’s final moments certainly doesn’t make up for the horrific way the show chose to kill her character off in the first place. It’s not closure, not really at all, and certainly not in any way that counts. Her surprise return feels like nothing so much as baiting the fandom with the one thing they’ve asked for repeatedly over the past four years – only giving it to them in precisely the worst way possible.

Yes, The 100 fans finally get to see Lexa – and Clexa – together again. But this Lexa is a dark pseudo-villain that’s willing to hang the literal end of humanity around Clarke’s neck, as just one more burden for her to carry. She’s removed and alien and missing so much of the key warmth that made Lexa who she was – this is the idea of a character more than anything like an actuality, and while that Clexa hug felt great to watch, it is also an illusion. It’s the scraps of a woman and a relationship that used to be – and this character deserves better than that. (And so do all her fans.)

Though, perhaps this really is the ending we deserve in this hell year. Clarke has been such a cipher and general nonentity this season that this reunion really only even works at all because the Clexa relationship has literal years’ worth of nostalgia and history to draw on. That’s not giving the fans closure in any real way – that’s relying on them to do the work for you, and to draw connections and make meaning where none has been provided. And that honestly kind of sucks.”

We see you

clexa + war tables

we could have had so many moments of clarke and lexa, leaders of two different groups, negotiating and discussing war plans, while balancing their relationship. sigh.

And after years and years of a tumultuous coalition, skaikru remains the 13th clan, there is peace amongst the clans, new tek has helped each tribe flourish, and Commander Leksa kom Trikru has done away with tradition and decided to pass on her title before her death. Aiden’s conclave was today and his first order was to repurpose the war table as a gift to the last commander, a retirement present of sorts. It will be given to the school that Lexa started in Polis which is in its second decade of operation and now has about 40 students. The students love the part time medicine and art teacher who’s normally found in the hospitals in Arkadia or Polis but finds time whenever the curriculum schedules the medicine block. Aiden suspects the kids will love their new full-time teacher, who has agreed to add history, combat, and, curiously, candle making to the school’s catalogue. But hey, the administration can’t help but entertain the wishes of Leksa kom Trikru and Clarke kom Skaikru, the ones who brought the Great Peace.
