Ravensong, it isn't a bad theory...in the original movie, Scott's father was a werewolf and he wasn't sure if the dominant gene would be passed down to Scott...I believe...it has been so long since I have watched the movie. I had always wondered why the writer's didn't go with that particular story line because I had wanted Scott's line to be a true heritage...so..............maybe....

I know, we are all high on punch and dust. However, you theory of the criteria being tainted over time on becoming a "true alpha" just as the myth of  the silver bullet makes one think.

And even if they didn't follow it in the series, it would make on hell of a fanfiction...because it is one I could totally follow. There are just too many secrets in the town.

In answer to your question...it seemed as if Deaton had been waiting for Scott to turn to a true Alpha from the very beginning...he seemed to lead him that way. I am not taking anything away from Scott, he just had the character and the youthfulness that could be molded. Deaton had a hold of him a lot longer than anyone else...he is in fact the surrogate father figure. So it is no surprise to me that Scott did not follow Derek or Peter.

As for the Nemeton, perhaps, it took a true Alpha to bring that back into power...and maybe a hunter, and a banshee, and a human...he did say..."Who said I had retired?" If druids are about bringing things into balance, would he want the power of the nemeton restored knowing it would bring new supernatural creatures? And how old is Deaton? He hasn't seemed to age at all from young Derek to older Derek? Are druids immortal? The original ones?
