Imma just say it, having not-LEXA show up as Clarke& #39;s "judge"was dumb and didn& #39;t make sense. The requirements were teacher, love or failure. You can NOT make Clarke& #39;s entire story for 3 SEASONS (5-7) revolve around her being a MOTHER and then NOT have her "CHILD" be her greatest

love. All it does is cement the fact (which anyone with 2 eyes already knew) that Madi only existed to give Clarke someone she loved MORE than Bellamy because otherwise there would have been no manufactured drama between them. WHICH leads directly into my 2nd point:

If there was ANY ONE character who fit ALL of those requirements for Clarke it was Bellamy Blake: Bellamy who was her BEST teacher-w/out whom Clarke never would have been able to find common ground w/the underprivilged members of The 100, who rallied them for her when they

wouldn& #39;t listen to her, who taught her how to hold and shot a gun (clown music), who helped her pull EVERY lever she encountered. Bellamy who was a great love, her "best friend", "another piece of her soul", who literally pumped her heart FOR HER when others gave up on her, who

ALWAYS stood by her side, no matter what. Bellamy who was her GREATEST failure, because HOW do you EVER justify shooting the only person who always accepted you openly and w/out question? Who WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME! And barring Bellamy, Wells! Another teacher, love and failure.
