as for the liam thing, end of first episode scot was fighing leo, and we also saw scott and kira fight in a flash back thing atend of third episode, so it looks likesomething really bad gonna happen between scott and others, i just hope it doesnt mean this gonna be last season. also at end of episode one it looked like styles was dead in his car,so that could be what creates scott fighting liam and kira. epecially as something seems diferent with kira atm. I think The method the twins taught him might actually be what's making him weak.

~ Sean 😎 They were trying to teach him how to tap into the animal within, to accept the beast as a part of him, and to USE it. To CONTROL it. To LET GO, to GIVE IN to the animal, tap into it, go full throttle, and then to REIN HIMSELF BACK IN. Which is how they did it, which is how Deucalion did it, which is how (from thing's they've said) both Derek and Peter did it, and probably how just about every other Alpha on the planet does it.

The thing of it is, Scott's never been comfortable with the "letting go" part of that. Which was apparent when they tried to teach him, and he has yet to get over it. Which is ridiculous, honestly. It's as though he thinks that if he stumbles his way through his problems, and comes out the other side (barely) then that means that he's obviously doing something right, and doesn't need to train and become better than he is. The "except that your a beast" part is fine. It's the "become the monster, the beast become everything your afraid of," "that's what gives you power." Part (that I feel)is wrong. As While that method might work for regular alphas like the twins & Deucalion(basically for alphas who gain their power by killing). That method might not suit someone like Scott, who became an alpha by not killing(& basically being a good guy). As Scott's a true alpha which makes him unique compared to other alphas.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that the method Deucalion taught too the twins might not apply to a true alpha like Scott.

~ Sean 😎 I agree with this.

But I do think at some point if Scott doesn't "go all the way" with his beast within, someone is going to die and I'd hate to see a death be the exact thing that pushes him that far.

What's it going to truly take? the death of his mother? Stiles?

while we know it'll never actually happen, it feels like that's exactly what it's going to take to push him over the edge and realize he may have to make A KILL at some point.

I feel like Jeff Davis is trying to portray Scott as some kinda Superman version of an Alpha Werewolf. Scott does have the moral code, but that's about it, he has hardly shown us any Bad-assery of his skills,  I can tell you since 3B we have seen him get his ass kicked more then we've seen him kick ass, so that right there tells you something.

Superman, is also afraid to kill and has a moral code, but he also kicks a lot of ass...

I think if Scott ever does kill on-screen it will be entirely unintentional and he will break down and cry, exactly like Superman did when he killed Zod, in Man of Steel, because Jeff wants to portray Scott as this perfect moral superior being that NEVER kills, he always HAS TO finds another way.

I remember when the season 4 finale ended, and there was a Jeff Davis interview post-finale.

He said how it was something him and the other writers discussed multipled times over and they didn't want Scott to kill Peter because and I quote "No one ever wants to see their favorite superhero, kill" Which I get it, the hero, has a moral code, and wants to save the day, but I also don't wanna see my hero, get his ass kicked constantly and see his sidekicks that are supposedly weaker then him, show him up.

Sorry for the rant guys, just really annoyed that Scott's character is so up and down, the finale and the premiere was awesome, but now he's back to getting knocked around like a little puppy.
