Tyler posey says he believes Scott's power only comes out when it needs too. I think Jeff said they were going to have Scott kick more butt. 😎 That's what I hate about the show the most. What Tyler said essentially means that Scott doesn't get strong until the season finale. Jeff Davis even said that he likes when his characters struggle cause until the finale because it wouldn't be fun otherwise...but that shouldn't mean Scott should lose for fights that he should win.

Back to the point of Scott's power emerging only when he needs it to. I have a perfect example as to why it just means "Scott wins only in the finale": Scott and Kira vs Kate and Berserkers. There was no reason for Scott to believe that Kate wasn't going to just kill them. For Pete's sake, they were hurting KIRA. Yet, Scott gets his ass whooped and didn't show ANY Alpha strength at all. That could have been the end of him AND Kira, if it weren't for the plot. Ugh...

I think and hope he'll be more like an Alpha in 5b. So far, he seems more like what I thought he would be, but he only beat two inexperienced chimeras and roared at 3 skinwalkers. I'll still take it. :D Actually 5a sorta broke the "Scott only wins during the final" thing when he beat belasko. 😎 Yes, it was an exception where he wins in the premiere but loses every fight afterwards, including losing to his beta in the finale. Like, losing in 5b makes sense because it's LA BETE and THE DREAD DOCTORS and maybe HELLHOUND but losing to inexperienced chimeras in 5a is just bad. It was especially disappointing because I thought he embraced his Alpha powers when beating Peter. Wasn't that the whole point of Season 4? Knowing how to use his Alpha power without being a monster? Ahh, whatevs, I guess. :P
