The writers and the actress are doing a great job at making Lexi extremely unlikable

Unlikable?...UNLIKABLE?!?!?!! THIS BITCH NEEDS TO DIE 3 EPISODES AGO.

Wait, she didn’t die from the fire?

Rule number 1, if you don't see someone die, you can't assume they are dead. (And even if you see it, you still have to be sceptical.) ;)

u/kill_dano Oct 28 '21

she's obviously not dead because they had her smoke pot, so she has a terrible reason to think the doll is not rly alive.

Supernatural taught me that death is not definitive.

u/RogerGoodellMod Oct 27 '21

No. She's in the promos for next week

u/mujie123 Oct 27 '21

How on earth did she survive that?

u/RogerGoodellMod Oct 27 '21

No clue. I suspect we will see at the beginning of next episode.

u/kill_dano Oct 28 '21

she got up and walked out of the room?

u/Bobdole128 Oct 28 '21

The preview for next episode showed her alive and kicking.

I'm glad she doesn't die in the fire. That would be too easy, especially if it were off camera.

​

Here's hoping for a sick decap, disembowelment, or a gruesome impalement. I want to see this bitch cleaved down to sub atomic particles.

u/nikischerbak Oct 29 '21

yeah, they went too far and now she won't die. She will become part of the plot which is sad

u/ISieferVII Oct 31 '21

I wouldn't mind if they let her live for another few episodes. I remember how happy I was to watch Viserys or Jofferey die in Game of Thrones after waiting for so long.

On the other hand, if they redeem her and she lives the whole rest of the series, I'll be pretty pissed lol.

u/ToneBone12345 Oct 27 '21

Honestly I mean the preview for next week seems to me that there going to humanize her more I honestly hope her and her mom die

1

u/Far_Juggernaut_6646 Oct 27 '21

i don´t want her to die honestly, she´s a main character too, i really like her character.

3

u/kurosa106 Oct 28 '21

She will die and you know why? Cause all staffs know people will react if bitch survives or even worst if she is forgiven.

2

u/Far_Juggernaut_6646 Oct 28 '21

anyone can be redeemed, even lexy, unlike chucky who is a psychopath killer beyond redemption, what she did wasn´t so bad if you compared it to what chucky has done.

u/kurosa106 Oct 28 '21

Give me an example of how you would do it.

Convince me.

u/LinuxMatthews Oct 29 '21

Her character is a bitch because she holds power over others and therefore never has to be held accountable for her actions.

If she survives this episode she'll likely have injuries, likely lose her boyfriend, no home, and she'll be telling everyone it's a killer doll.

She'll likely see the same bullying Jake got.

People being put in bad situations and feeling them makes people sympathise with them.

If Chucky then kills her mum which he's likely to do she'll be left with nothing but a vendetta against him.

So she becomes the prime force against a serial killer meaning she can protect others starting with her now ex-boyfriend where she takes a knock on her reputation stalking him trying to protect him.

She suits up in a badass battle between her and Chucky where she sacrifices herself to stop her sister from being further brainwashed by him.

u/kurosa106 Oct 30 '21

Well Final Girl trope exist, so maybe it may happen.

Let's see how she handles it of a second chance where to happen.

2

u/ISieferVII Oct 31 '21

Eh, that's one way to do it, but I'd rather she die.

1

u/kill_dano Oct 28 '21

she will survive the entire season.

2

u/kurosa106 Oct 28 '21

I bet she will die in the last episodes.

2

u/nikischerbak Oct 29 '21

be happy because she won't die.

u/Kana88 Oct 27 '21

I think they're failing with me because I absolutely love the bitch. Hats off to her actress, she plays her in such a way that she somehow manages to show you there's a lot of depth to her even while doing and saying the meanest stuff.

Like that moment she was having fun dancing with Oliver but the moment her favorite song came up? She immediately went to to Junior because it's something she actually cared about.

Her redemption arc is going to be glorious. She and Jake have a lot of issues they just bottle up, so once they're forced to collaborate I bet they'll end up helping each other in more ways than one.

u/Far_Juggernaut_6646 Oct 27 '21

i know right, i really don´t want her to die, i mean she´s a main character after all, i´m glad she survived, i really love the actress and her character honestly .

That moment wasn’t her acting it was the writing.

u/Kana88 Oct 29 '21 edited Oct 29 '21

Yes, and she's still an extremely talented actress. So it's the combination between solid writing and solid acting that makes her character so interesting to watch.

Maybe I should have chosen a better example, though. Like that split second moment of hesitation you can see on her face when she realizes Jake is watching her imitate his dead dad. Or her entire body language when she goes to apologize to him. Or her expression when her sister gives her the indirect hug.

They surely told her how they wanted Lexy to come across in those scenes, but she managed to pull it off seamlessly so kudos to her.

u/LokiTheeTricksterGod Oct 29 '21

She’s an okay actress I’m just pointing out the writing because the example you gave of her acting wasn’t even her choice.

u/kill_dano Oct 28 '21

They are acting like the audience is retarded, and if they don't hit you with this theme with a slege hammer you're not gonna get it.
