Part of it, I think, is that in S2 it's hard to tell how much of Jackson's bad behavior is actually Jackson and how much is kanima/Matt. The nearer we get to the end of the season, there's definitely the sense that even the times when Jackson looks human, it's mostly Matt looking out through those eyes (even before we knew was in control) and Jackson is only having brief moments where he resurfaces and has full control (like the moment where Lydia touches him in the hall - he kind of looks like he's coming out of a bad dream for just a second).

Also, part of it may be sympathy for a guy who may been a jerk but didn't deserve having his body taken over and used to do horrible things.

And part of it just has to do with the genuine fear that now that Colton has left the show, Stiles will indeed be "rewarded" by having him get together with Lydia. Jeff Davis does seem to have a thing for Stiles/Lydia - I don't know where the link is, but in one interview he said that Stiles was originally supposed to get with Erica in S2, but that they didn't end up going that direction because they liked the chemistry between Stiles and Lydia better. But he's also apparently said that Stiles and Lydia are only going to be friends in S3, so...*shrugs* I don't know.

I do think from Lydia's side, the storyline was problematic. We never got any real resolution on her own issues of being tormented by Peter - she just got used as the key to Jackson's salvation. The finale had a lot of issues, and that was definitely one of them.

Yeah...I thought it was a little lampshade-hanging when Peter tells Lydia that she'll bounce right back from what he did to her without major trauma, because the show sure dropped that thread fast. It was weird how (IIRC) she didn't even react to seeing him in the finale. (Am I forgetting something, or is that right?)

I think you are correct. The finale was bloody stupid in general, but nobody gave a rat's ass at that point that formerly dead Peter was there.
