Now, for my response to the Theo and Malia ship. Why would anyone, at the current moment, ship them? Yes, Theo's good looking and a "bad boy". But he's also a complete psychopath. He's working with the Dread Doctors, and that already caused so many people to die. He tried to get Malia's boyfriend, Stiles, killed by Donovan. He smashed his (fake?) dad's hand with a hammer and broke it. That's also just the beginning of all the horrible things he has done. Trust me, there's going to be more as the season progresses. He's evil. Maybe he has his reasons but he's indirectly responsible for innocent people getting hurt and/or killed. He's not good.

Malia is a good person. She struggled to find the good in herself and her first instinct is always to kill, but in the end, she manages to do the right thing. For example, she wanted to kill Tracey in the beginning but then she let her go, after helping her shift back. Nobody can really blame her for acting like the only solution to a problem is to kill. She lived as a coyote for many years and that animal side of her still takes over. That's how she survived in the wild as a coyote, and that's how she thought she had to survive in a town as a person. With all that being said, Malia isn't a bad person. She sometimes can't see the line between right and wrong clearly. Theo, on the other hand, knows the difference he just doesn't care. He chooses to do the wrong over the right.

I'll admit that I might have actually been curious to see Malia and Theo's relationship progress if Theo wasn't who he was. But as of right now, considering the person Theo is, Malia deserves way better. Also, Theo probably doesn't even care about Malia. He's just trying to use her as a "pawn in his little game", like he's using all of Scott's friends. "Oh, sure. I wanna be part of your pack, Scott. Then, I wanna send the Dread Doctors over for a visit."
