Did I think it might not end well for Alex and Spencer based on her line from Season 1: “I go where you go…even if it’s the death of me”? Sure. But I hoped. GOD did I hope.

The actors’ chemistry was one of those rare, lightning in a bottle types. The kind that shouldn’t be wasted. And waste it, the writers did.

They were the couple everyone was rooting for. They were the young versions of Jacob and Cara!! Alex would have thrived on the land in Montana, by Spencer’s side every step of the way, every day.

To have them survive so much and for it to end that way? WHY?! And HOW?

How are we supposed to believe that Alex survived a long day in the blazing sun, with dehydration, at sea, but she can’t survive frostbite? Or that her frostbite was so bad it killed her, but she was able to use her hands to start the fire and use her feet to run to Spencer? Or that her premature baby survived in that time period but she COULD NOT?

I mourn what could have been for these characters. I’m sad that writers these days just don’t know how to write a happy couple.

In my mind, Alex and Spencer are here. Raising their son together, fighting challenges that come their way together, and growing old together.

If only.
