This Finale Sucked

Hey everyone,

I made a whole account to make this blog post about why I didn’t enjoy the season 2 finale and the plot holes left behind. I hope you read it and see my opinions before you start attacking me. To warn you, its kind of long since I talked about practically every character on the show, so bear with me:

In my opinion, this Teen Wolf finale was really stupid.



'''1. The Gerard and Kanima Plotline: '''

First of all, Jackson turns into a werewolf? Why would the shows creator want to add another werewolf when there is so many already? Plus Jackson turning into a werewolf really eliminated the Kanima subplot, and we didn't even get to see his transformation even though they mentioned it and he was half way through. Jackson suddenly finding his love and then randomly turning into a werewolf was a huge let-down. Now there is now Kanima and the show is just full of werewolves.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">I also didn't like how Gerard is apparently still alive. The show's creators needed to do away with him. His demise was thought to be a sure thing going into the finale, and now he just seems like a leftover villain. Peter's return was understandable and sort of expected, but Gerard isn't even supernatural! Why is he still around?

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">The Peter Hale plot twist was also a let-down. His comeback, using Lydia, was full of promise (is he good, is he evil, how is he gonna play a role in the end, does he have a plan, etc.) and when it finally came down to the showdown, he just hid in the back! He is certainly a powerful and clever character, much more powerful than Derek, and after going through all that to come back alive, Peter just turns into a meek ally in the end. <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Lydia was also forgotten, she seemed like she knew nothing and was a mere mortal like Stiles. Her "immunity and power" manifested into her giving him back a key. Whoopee. She definitely needs more put into her plotline, and Peter Hale should at least retain some power over her or something. She was used and discarded by Peter and the writers of the series, and she really needs to make a comeback or turn into something in season 3.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> The hunters, who were a strong and powerful presence to be afraid of in Season 1 and earlier parts of Season 2, have seemingly diminished into Chris and Allison siding with the werewolves. Even though I really don't mind this new alliance, Chris argent has turned into a meek good guy, which is quite different from the big bad villain to be wary of in the beginning. Scott isn't even afraid of him even though Chris said he was gonna kill Scott if he ever sees him with Allison! whatever happened to that? And besides what happened to his whole team that backed him? Did they just disappear? Plus, they never really did explain how Chris and the veterinarian were connected, and how they knew about what the vet does.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> On that note, I like Allison's return to sanity, but she shouldn't have broken up with Scott. It just seemed useless.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">

<p style="margin:12pt0in12pt0.5in;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:14.25pt;">'''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica">4. <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Derek and Scott: '''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">The twist of Scott having a master plan just left a bad taste in my mouth. The main antagonist/character/good guy of a series should be in the dark along with the audience, finding out things at the same time that we do. But now, it turns out that he had his own subplot and plan going on, something that was kept off the screen, and that this is a huge no-no for any tv show. Now we don't even know if Scott, or Stiles, or even Scott's mom have something secret going on behind the scenes, and that just might alienate viewers from the series. Its also a cheap and easy way to sew up any plot holes, and that really shouldn't be used. Besides, Scott is now technically an Omega, after he joined Derek's pack in the earlier parts of the season, after turning into an Omega when he rejected Derek. Its all too confusing. Make a decision, Scott. Plus, where’s his heart to heart with Jackson? And are there any powers that we haven’t seen before?

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Derek's pack is also a confusing matter, too. Is Isaac part of it after his newfound friendship with Scott? How does Jackson fit into this? What's going on with Erica and Boyd? And how are Derek and Scott still linked after Scott left him? I understand that the show's creator wanted to leave something up to speculation and to introduce new plotlines, but seriously, this whole pack is a mess. I was expecting a bloody death of one of his pack members to fuel Derek's anger, but I guess that didn’t happen since they’re all alive and intact.

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0level1lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"">1.    5.   <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The Normal People: <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">One thing I didn’t understand was how Scott’s mom and Stiles’ dad have dealt with this new revelation about the whole werewolves-are-real-and-so-are-freaky-lizard-things. Obviously a conversation or two must have occurred because of how normal they all are acting, but that part isn’t explained. Scott’s mom also knows something is up with Scott, and probably has some knowledge that we don’t know of (Where’s Scott’s dad? Has she seen any of this before?) based on how she acted, but that part isn’t cleared up. She also just vanished after the bodybag containing Jackson was carried out. Perhaps that part was left out due to time constraints, but it still creates a loose end. Same with Stiles’ dad. He obviously knows something is up, but he didn’t even ask to help his son even though he knew that there are monsters involved, and that his SON WAS KIDNAPPED. Maybe his memory was wiped or something.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">Stiles’ first name wasn’t shown either. Neither was the reason Gerard beat him up and then just decided to set him free.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">Also, since we’re on the topic of normal people, how come the town doesn’t find it fishy that so much people have been murdered over a short period of time? This occurred in a small town, so its not like that sort of thing is normal. Plus, its seems like the rest of the town kind of ignores the characters, there should’ve been at least some sort of public outcry or at least questions from teammates and classmates after the whole Matt kidnapping thing (like all of the police officers were murdered, wtf how do they not notice) or the hallucinations and weird trips of practically every teen in town but everyone just forgot about it, weirdly enough. This lack of common sense is kind of a major plot hole.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">By the way, what’s up with Danny? Does he know what’s going on or is he blind? Will he have a role or is he kept around as the “token” gay guy. They need to do something with him. Seriously.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0level1lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"">2.  6.   <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">And Finally, The New Alpha Pack: <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">This was the ace in the hole? The unsuspected plot twist that was hinted at by the vet and the guidance counselor and even Gerard at one point? A pack of alphas?!? How does that even make sense? The only thing this pack of Alphas is going to do is muddy up the distinction between packs. Now that there is a pack of Alphas, does that mean that each of the Alphas’ pack were murdered? Are there other basic packs with 1 Alpha and some Betas around? And who leads this superpack? Does that mean that there is one all-powerful Super Alpha? And did Peter, the knowledgeable, powerful alpha, know about this before? Plus, now that there seems like there is one huge superpack, who do the werewolf hunters hunt?

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">This plot twist is way too confusing, and really just messes up the show’s basic definition of a werewolf that was set way back in season 1. I was expecting something different, something that was supernatural but not a werewolf or kanima. Something that would also tie in the guidance counselor and the vet, and explain how they know about all of this and what their role in this whole fiasco is. Those two aren’t even explained at all, and they (at least, the vet) have been around since season 1. That plotline needs to be cleared up for sure in Season 3.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">

             The End.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">That was my review (more like a 1000 word essay, lol) of the finale and parts of the season. To me, the show’s creator seemed too indecisive, like he wanted to leave things open to explore more options, and that just turned out to be a bad thing in the end.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">One thing that I think we can all agree on is that the season finale should’ve definitely been 2 hours to tie up all the loose ends. Everything was hurried, especially towards the end. A two hour finale would’ve been able to draw things out and create much more suspense and a much more solid ending to the season and a better beginning for the next.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">These are my opinions on the finale, but don’t think I’m a teen wolf hater. I’ve been watching this show since the beginning, and I watched every single episode. I love the show, but I just didn’t love the season 2 finale.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"">Feel free to share your own views on the finale, reasons why you thought it was bad or reasons why you enjoyed it. I may be missing something, a scene or even a few words that explain some of the things I talked about so feel free to point that out. If you have any answers or theories to some of the questions I brought up or any information about the characters that I missed share that as well.
