I'm fighting really hard against doing a shameless plug for my canon rewrite crossover fanfic, because I am fixing a lot of things I didn't like in... well, several shows. (I just lost the fight, didn't I? That was pretty much a shameless plug. :P)

I definitely agree they should have fleshed out the werewolves a lot more, and hunters as well, before moving on to kanimas and nogitsunes, etc. But I feel that way about pretty much everything they did. I really wish this show had 24 episode seasons where they used all 24 episodes for the season long story arc.

Mostly I just would have liked to see them delve deeper into things. The stories they tell are SO good but they just give us the surface and then spruce it up with a lot of plot twists and things done for shock value -- I'd rather see the stories happen and learn so much more about the characters (the main characters, before we introduce 394082394 new characters every season! Yes, I'm looking at you Liam! :P) I just wish we had a more solid world to immerse ourselves in.

In terms of story changes though.... backing all the way up to season 2... no, I can't. I would've scrapped and redone almost that whole season. I would have kept Gerard as the villain, and made him secretly trying to get bitten... otherwise I would have done everything different. 3a I would have made last the whole 24 episodes and made things more complex -- instead of giving the Alpha pack a solid leader (for no reason because that didn't really make sense) I would have given each Alpha their own motives in Beacon Hills, and maybe made it so sometimes they were working together and other times they weren't. I would probably have given the Darach her own season -- maybe in a season that was focused more heavily on druids (which would be a good time to make Stiles an emissary.... :P)

Man, I have just have so many ideas for how this show could have been SO MUCH BETTER, I can't even remember them all all at once (which makes that canon rewrite so difficult to plan out :P). There is SO MUCH potential here.
