Now it's just annoying. Before Season 3, in Season 2, Boyd, Erica and Isaac basically learned control at the same time. They had anchors, each specific to them.

In Season 4, particularly, control became such a big deal...Derrick still had problems, as a born wolf? All of a sudden, they needed montras to control themselves? With Liam, I knew it would be a problem, cause of his PED disorder, but now it seems like he doesn't even have it anymore.

I mean, with Peter, control was never a problem. They say that him letting the animal side take over made him a monster, but I think that was just his personality. He has and always had full control of his power -- he taught Kate how to control hers, apparently better than Scott controls his. Peter is a monster cause he is narcissistic and power-hungry...but he's not going to kill Malia for no reason.

Peter has full control of what he's doing. Scott should too. Deucalion as well was a "monster" but had full control over his actions. He was very calm and calculated, actually. Scott shouldn't be on a rampage just cause he uses a bit of Alpha strength...which we've seen him use several times before and nothing monstrous happened!!! :P Like I've said before its all plot driven, which it shouldn't be. On Teen Wolf, Plot wants what plot wants, common sense and power-level be damned. Yeah, I've always said that too. However, it doesn't seem applicable here. Any of them could have beaten the Chimera with the same outcome. The writers just messed up by making Scott clearly the weakest in this fight. I don't think they did it intentionally. I think they wanted Liam to beat the Chimera, since he was going to attack Mason. Brett may like Mason, so he had some motivation to fight well, and Kira is obviously becoming stronger...but Scott was rushing there to save the day, so there was no reason for him to lose so easily. But yeah, it didn't matter who beat the Chimera -- it wouldn't change the plot. They're just use to Scott losing until the finale, I guess. Or they wanted other characters to shine (e.g. Malia had a chance to shine last week).
