The Ethan thing, as I said earlier, is not interpretation - it's in the context.

Should they have perhaps used a different word? Maybe - but he was trying to describe the worst possible life for a werewolf - to a werewolf and Omega covers that base.

I find it odd that you want such expansive explanations for everything but you can accept that a single word might have two meanings due to the context in which it is being used.

Remember the reading comprehension tests you took in elementary school? Yeah, that's what this is, not head canon. Ethan and Gerard's context was VERY obvious and very obviously different in each case.

As to the Jennifer thing - she was NEVER powerful enough to take on Deucalion. That's why she needed Derek, then needed Deuc powerless to even try - even after getting her sacrifice smorgasbord power up.

But I'm still amazed that you think a stick, even a really, really, sharp stick, could have taken down this chick who had survived a full on attack by an alpha and just killed an alpha and a megazord alpha.

The stick thing is just plain dumb and wouldn't have worked. It might have staggered her but it wouldn't put her down.

You're bringing a lot more to the table than what is actually on the screen - I get that the show is not enough for you but that's not a failing of the writing it's an active imagination and unrealistic expectations on your part.

Also - HeterochromiaWolf - Jackson was getting out of the water because it looked cool.

They came up with a way to fit it into the canon way later but then he left. There was no stated reason for it at the time they recorded the scene.

Did you even watch 311 or 312? The "dumb stick thing" was enough to cause Morrell to fall out of her circle, which was all that Deucalion needed. Just a reminder, once Scott broke Jennifer's circle, Deucalion almost fatally wounded her with one quick slash of his claws (and Peter finished it similarly).

So on what basis do you think it is "dumb"? He didn't need to kill her with one strike any more than he did Morrell. He just needed her out of the circle.

If anything, if you reread your own post, you would see your own flawed logic. She needed Deucalion to be powerless in order to kill him. That was why the eclipse was so important. Well, guess what, the eclipse was over at that point. Deucalion had all his powers back plus Jennifer had even healed his eyes! She created the circle of Mountain Ash specifically because she had depleted her power and did not have a chance of survival by fighting or running away. She was counting on the storm killing the parents to boost her powers and that was what she was waiting on.

Seriously, you can defend the writing all you want, but you are not doing a very good job of it. If anything you are just getting defensive.

Are there multiple defintions of an Alpha? A Beta? If not, then why are Omega's a multiple defintion category? Why do I even need to ask? Oh right, because the show never spells it out! They just throw the terms around randomly.

I am not saying that everything needs to be explained. But I am also not alone in the opinion that the plot holes have been getting worse as time goes on. As I said before, too many really crucial things happen offscreen, and you may be distracted by cool fight scenes such that you do not scrutinize the writing, but some of us do expect some continutiy and consistency.
