The example with Sterling’s death… If they’re really trying to paint Bellamy as being ‘heroic’, they wouldn’t have Bellamy argue with Finn (to the point of Sterling’s death) whether or not to save Mel.  They would have made him jump down there and save the girl.  (Jasper and his heroic notions with Octavia in the first few episodes, anyone?)

And what do you mean by Bellamy ALWAYS playing the hero?  If you’re referring to Bellamy being the inside man, he is literally the only one capable at this point.  For very obvious reasons, Clarke has to stay behind.  Octavia is now Indra’s second (and like hell Bellamy would let her go anywhere near Mt. Weather; he doesn’t even know she’s part of the Grounders team.)  Raven is their only mechanic (and she’s crippled.)  Who else???  Kane??  Some random secondary background character??  Everyone has a role in this war: Bellamy is merely playing HIS PART.
