Okay..... firstly, let's be real. Jackson coming out of the water was because Colton is hot and they wanted to take advantage of that. The scene was utterly nonsensical and the only reason it even dawned on Jeff that it might need an explanation is because people called him on it. By the time he said we were going to learn about that, most of S2 had already passed and people were still asking. If he had planned it out, he would have realized that you can't have a scene like that open your season and then not explain in that season. That's poor planning and terrible writing.

And while Scott may not be the type of person to learn everything there is to know about something.... Stiles is. And we saw Stiles pour over research about werewolves to help Scott. Multiple times. Not to mention we have resident werewolf-expert Dr. Deaton. It shouldn't have taken three seasons to learn about werewolf eye color because that info could have come from anywhere -- yes, we're learning things as Scott learns them (except not exactly because we learned about blue eyes before Stiles had a chance to relate that story to Scott :P) but even his best friend is, for some reason, just refusing to freely offer him interesting little factoids about werewolves? Are we talking about the same best friend who regularly describes barely relevant trivia, including the official name for the phenomena in question? ("It's called voluntary apnea", "it's called hyper vigilance", "it's called an unreliable narrator".) No, I'm sorry, it's complete BS that we don't know everything there is to know about werewolves by now.

I don't think Jeff has quite gotten used to the idea that he's not writing some corny little werewolf show anymore. That this a huge phenomenon, and people are invested in the world, and the lore, and the timeline he's creating. I can understand that, it must be mindblowing. But I think, unfortunately, that this means Teen Wolf is not likely to ever completely live up to its potential because, in some respects, that ship has already sailed.
