I'm not saying I wanted 3 seasons of werewolf lore. But they could've done season two with just Gerard, and let out the Kanima, and fleshed out the werewolf mythology really well, and then in season three moved on to other creatures. You've got to figure, a season of Teen Wolf is only half of a traditional season. I just wish they'd fleshed out the werewolf lore, and then moved to a new beastie every season after that.

They're the writers! How can you say 'if they had answers I'm sure we would to?!' They can write the answers and give them to us! Exactly. The first season we are introduced into a world where there are werewolves in it. Nothing else is hinted at and we are told very little about them. Then in each progressive season more and more creatures are thrown at us. And despite there being multiple characters that know a lot about the supernatural plus an entire library that was but onto a tablet the main characters have to stumble around to find out what is happening. Despite werewolves being the main "creature", in each season we learn at most 1 new thing that generally raises more questions than answers.

Since Derek was born into the supernatural the writers should have had him drop hints of other creatures in the previous seasons. But the trick is to have him talk about creatures that stay in a specific geographic location. That way the other characters and the audience know that there are other creatures around but we're most likely not going to encounter them because they generally only live there. I think that is a nice, easy, and subtle way for the writers to expand the Teen Wolf mythology/universe and not have to commit to anything. My only issue with geographic mythology being introduced that way is that with the exception of very specifics things there really is no logica explanation to why almost any supernatural creature would be confined to a certain spot. Why would 1 creature, especially ones that were human to begin with, be in one area and not another. This would then raise the question do all areas actually have the same supernatural creatures they just call them different things. That would make more sense to me. Also being that so many have immigrated to america and the mixing up races and cultures even if something was culturally or racially based theres still almost no reason that someone from out of the blue would have a tie to it.

I see your point, but with Geographic comes cultural as well. Even the Kitsune works that way. Yes, there was a large immigration of Japanese immigrants to America explaining Kira, but kitsunes come from Japan. Where would you most likely find Kitsunes? Japan or America? Due to immigration and the mixing of culture and races there is probably a variety of supernatural creatures, but some probably have an "origin" spot where they came from and where the myth came to be. And just because they immigrated here doesn't mean that they will pass through Beacon Hills.

Does the geographic mythology answer everything? No. Does it prevent new supernatural creatures from appearing? No because it is the 21st century and people have moved around. But it could be used to introduce a wider world without having throw in a new monster in each new season.

The thing I don't care for about the geographic mythology is that it would require them to all just have time to sit and gab. Which they never do. I can't see them taking time out of their life's to just hang out like that. It would be different for them to sit and take "werewolf lessons" so to speak. But anything is going to have some holes here and there so it's really not too unreasonable.

But yea, this is one of my biggest peeves with the show. I love it, but it could be so much better if they would've stepped back at the beginning, and I'm starting to think it's too late to fix it. But maybe not. It has been less than a year in show, they'd have to be careful, but it might still be possible to slow it down and hammer this stuff out. But I doubt they will.
