Yea i basically just wrote the same thing lol its true though i would have preffered this method. It also would have showed that the show knew what direction it was going. The inclusion of the Omega classification honestly just felt like something they threw together. Actually so does the pack concept if you think about it. Feel the same way. The Omega class was thrown in but pretty much was not portrayed or supported at all.

Pretty much the same with the pack concept. Way too frivolous. Members can choose to join or leave whenever they want. Would have been cool if there was a ritual or ceremony for a wolf bitten by a different alpha to join another's pack. And for beta's that were bitten but want to leave the pack.

A pack is an Alpha and at least 3 betas but Scott was a beta when Peter was an Alpha. So Peter's pack only had Scott and Derek if pack members transfer to a new Alpha when their old one is killed. So that is two members only, but are considered betas. Three if you count Cora I guess who they didn't know was still alive. Bascially they changed the concept as a Beta werewolf is a werewolf that is connected/linked to an Alpha.

Also, the show did not show a great amount of evidence that a pack made werewolves stronger. Did not see that in Derek or in Issac, Boyd, or Erica.

What would have made the pack work in my opinion:

1) Show the difference in abilities between members of a pack and an omega or a beta like Scott was in Season 1.

2) This one is a maybe but I would show an slight empathic link between pack members or at least the Alpha.

3) A ritual of some kind when joining or leaving a pack.

That's about all I can think of. I think that would have made the pack concept more concrete in my book.
