The finale was. . . 'meh' for me. Like 3a and 3b, this season had a lot of good elements and potential, but ended up failing to reach the emotional highs of the first two seasons. Peter's wolf-face was badass, but he failed to be the full on masterful-wolf-badass I was wanting him to be. I also wanted him to have more of a reason for hating Scott. Him hating Scott pretty much for the reason that Scott had been a successful werewolf thus far just seemed like to shallow, childish, and weak a reason for me to get fully engaged in his character. Also the same goes for Kate. Her character just kind of sucked this season. Cool form and powers or not, poor explanation of her motivations and powers surrounding the Berzerkers ruined her character for me. Just give me some logically meaningful explanations of why people are doing what they do and make their abilities make sense and go along with the lore, and I'll be happy! Derek's transformation was pretty cool, but yet again, poor explanations kill the joy of quite a bit of it. Also - and I never thought I'd say this - Scott NOT transforming was actually kind of okay with me. Him being in control and being able to take down Peter down like he did, was pretty cool and actually pretty satisfying with me. Scott getting a special transformation isn't what is important to me, but him getting an explanation of why he doesn't and the explanation not just being brushed off is. But, I digress that sort of logic seems to only be on Teen Wolf when it wants to be. The Stiles moments this episode were cool. Liam not knowing Star Wars was hilarious and the Sterek moment in the van was great, but I still don't support Sterek. However, I do support Stiles and Derek's bromance and their funny moments together. I'm still not a big fan of Malia. She's the most gorgeous girl on the show to me, but her character still needs some solid maturation. Kira is still not serious enough to me. I guess I miss Allison lol. I like Braeden, but again like Kira, her purpose doesn't seem focused enough for me. I would love to see her get further development. The whole Benefactor thing was kinda stupid and way too in-depth for my opinion, but kudos to Teen Wolf for just going for the craziest thing possible, I guess. Also, I want Deaton and Argent to become as commanding as they were on the earlier seasons of the show, they seem to have lost their masterfulness. I kind of liked Liam's moments with Scott, but I don't feel the scene where Scott turned normal again was as powerful as it should have been. It was emotional, but like I said earlier, 3a, 3b, and 4 just haven't reached the emotional heights of seasons 1 and 2. Anyway the show is still okay. It just hasn't been as good recently, and I really hope it gets back to where it was so that this show can overall be a GREAT series. But if it keeps going in the direction of mythology and character motivations being explained more poorly and more poorly, the show will be irreparably scarred. I still believe in Jeff and the characters he's made, but he's just gotta make it good.
