Yea, I think s3 would've been veeeery different if he didn't leave. The whole series really. There is a theory floating around that Jackson was supposed to be Peter's son, or Kali's. Or both.

I look at the entirety of 3b as a giant cluster because Colton didn't give enough notice. They freaking had the idea for Jackson dying, and didn't go with it because they expected him to stay, and didn't have time to rewrite the season properly. That's why I think 3a sucked so much worse than 3b. They had time to come up with something. It was crazy and different, and had it's own issues, but overall they story was tighter. I also suspect that had they not had to scramble for different stories, we would've had one cohesive 24episode season instead of two 12episode seasons they billed as one.

I do kind of like the theory that he could be one of their kid, Colton screwed it all up. I dont think that 3a sucked. I actually liked 3a a lot more than 3b, probably bc there was a lot more werewolves in 3a. I really feel like 3a and 3b could've been two completely different seasons bc they were so different and then we had to wait for 3b after 3a ended which made it feel like we were just waiting for the next season, they should've just called season 3b season 4 and then called this current season, season 5 bc that's basically what it is.

Everything in 3a felt like they were scrambling to make everything work. To me at least. 3b didn't seem to fit this show, but the story was better and less 'we need to make this work' and part of it's disconnect, I suspect, is because they had intended to make it a segue to a Kira spinoff that they decided not to do because Crystal decided to leave. And seeing as it's a teen show, obviously Scott couldn't be without a love interest.
