I am a Nielson viewer, and I have watched every episode of Teen Wolf as it aired. I'm loyal to the show, mostly because I appreciate the original cast and their work, and I'd like to see more of them, specifically together. Yes, I am older than the targeted demographic, but most people who have been watching since season 1 are.

The writing this season has been horrible, as opposed to last season's writing was just pretty bad. My roommate and I have sat on our couch and said lines to the new episodes as they happened. We have spent time questioning why none of the characters are the same, with no external force dictating that change. We assume that Teen Wolf is taking a stance against all sex, as every character currently in a relationship is acting like they have no ability to think. We question the point of having a 'team' when no matter what happens, the 'leader' gets all credit and none of the consequences. Wardrobe dresses the characters all the same, when they had distinct fashion personalities first and second seasons. The sets are boring, the props are unimaginative, and there are way too many new characters who add nothing to the story and simply take time away from the characters that we are watching the story for.

I'm not saying that Jeff Davis is horrible; he has given us amazing characters that we fell in love with first season and they are the reason that we stay. I am saying that it feels like he has gotten tired, and that he needs to recharge before writing again, or he needs to bring in a team to take some of the responsibility from him. Even Joss stepped away for half seasons with Buffy in order to keep it fresh and new, and he worked with double the number of episodes that Davis is working with. Don't do away with the current plotline, but there really needs to be a group of people who are willing to write the characters out of the meaningless and trite conflicts they are finding themselves in.

Also, you may not feel as if you are in the wrong, but to encourage people of differing opinions than you to seek professional help in the platform that you are communicating is a neophyte move. Even if you are not incredibly young, as I am giving you an excuse to find your way out of this, it is time to take responsibility and apologize for this error.
