But he was still stronger and trained than scott so I was okay. But now of his powers. The one thing that is consoling me is the fact that scott is no good in this alpha thing and it is proving to me that he still relies on derek. But if he becomes strong and badass then what about derek. Derek is being demoted the more scott is being promoted. It is totally injustice and unfair with derek. The guy deserves power more than anyone.I hate jeff for this. Derek is my favorite character and I want him to be all badass. Not scott. Scott has had a silver spoon in his mouth always whereas derek has always struggled throughout his life. Derek had to fight for his right-The alpha power and when he got it he post it in healing his sister. He has always done the right thing and still he is underestimated by everyone. I want him back to power and scott should be put in his place. Making scott powerful will very harsh towards derek. Derek trained scott and helped him always and scott emerges dominant. No way. That is why I hate scott and wish derek becomes the alpha. Ok, I get it. You like Derek. A lot. But I don't think they've done an injustice to the character, through their choices (though whoever came up with his background is one sick puppy; I mean, just....damn), he's learned and grown over the course of the series, and honestly, he's in a much better place now, to become an Alpha, than way back when in Season One/Two.

Season Two Derek had no concept of how to lead, he was a lone wolf who had lost just about everything he ever cared about. He made bad choices, he could be petty, and short-sighted. He was all about power. He didn't really have any of the qualities desired in a leader.

It was only later that he started to grow into his role as an Alpha, and the fact that he willingly sacrificed his power for a member of his pack's survival is proof of that. And he continued to grow as a character.

Scott, on the other hand, showed a number of leadership qualities, however his character has also been the most stagnant in terms of character growth over the course of the series. He didn't learn from his experiences, he was willing to let people die rather than step past his own moral boundaries, he flat out refused to grow as a person, to change and adapt to being a werewolf. He's only recently begun to question some of that, as his sub-conscious appeared to be hinting at in Time of Death (and with his conversation with his dad about "justifiable killing"). Hopefully he won't just "revert" at the end of this season.

And, I'm truly sorry to say this, for your sake, but Derek is not, I repeat, NOT, the main character of this show. It is, and always will be, the Scott show. If they make Derek an Alpha again (which would be interesting), it will not be before Scott has had time to grow into his role as an Alpha. They certainly won't make Derek stronger than Scott for the end game.
