Yeah, it definitely felt like there was better setup in the earlier seasons (and I completely agree on the secret!Hale plot that Malia ended up with!). I also wondered if some of the threads that never got pulled (the possible connection between Braeden and Boyd, for example) were abandoned because they couldn’t get actors to come back/stay on long enough to film them.

Honestly, I can’t figure out why they didn’t Scooby-Doo the shit out of the show’s formula once they decided that Scott’s Big Defining Thing for being a noble Alpha would be to not kill anyone. We kept going back to the “we’re gonna fight our way out!” Tactic, instead of having him find better alternatives with the help of his super genius banshee and detective spark/emissary-in-training (though I was a big fan of him having warrior women in his pack: Allison, Kira, and Malia all fit the bill) (I also wanted infinitely more mentor!Deaton time *grabby hands*). But I guess they wanted to film lots of fight scenes in dim lighting, or something. *shrugs* I do think that the series would have been greatly improved by spending more time with Scott’s “darkness in his heart” post-season 3a, or with his Nogitsune trauma, OR some post-Berserker angst that would have linked SO WELL with the fear he had at the beginning of 3b about not being able to control his rage/violent werewolf instincts. Then again, I’m also WICKED ANNOYED that Scott never got a big full Alpha shift the way that Peter had, and we only ever saw it as a hallucinated shadow (show me his Crinos form, Davis! Stop leaving him locked in Glabro!!). Scott’s greatest fear being blind was the dumbest thing; we have all this early buildup from seasons 1-4 about him being worried that he’ll give in to his baser instincts, lose his humanity, and hurt people he cares about, why on earth wouldn’t we use that?? Is it because we wasted our special FX budgets on the Beast of Gevaudan instead of giving Scott an uncontrollable, rage monster Alpha shift???
