Part of Teen Wolf's great premise is that you have a regular teenager, Scott, who finds himself dealing with newfound powers and abilities by being a werewolf. How does he control himself? How does this affect his social life? Can he keep things secret? In what ways does his character grow? How does he deal with all these changes without sacrificing too much of his original likability?

^this I love and I wish the story did revolve more around these issues unfortunately imo it does not...but I don't see it revolving around the Hales either. One of the things I remember Jeff saying from season 1 was that there was a little bit of the Lost Boys influence in the show...I see that as where the Hales come in. In fact the whole Peter dating Melissa to get Scott to join his pack was one of the storylines of The Lost Boys (except with vampires). And I actually wish they had continued a little bit more in that direction giving Scott a closer tie with the Hales even as he struggled with his newfound "curse"...and yes I think I would like to see more of the downside of being a werewolf (that being where the struggle would come in).

To me the show is revolving more around the powers Scott has gained than the affect being a werewolf might have on him. And now adding Lydia with superpowers as well...it kind of becomes  a super hero club fighting the bad guys. Not that it can't be entertaining...it just doesn't really seem to fit very well with season 1 or even season 2 which was once again dealing with the fallout of the bite (this time what could go wrong with the production of the kanima). S3A was defintely more us vs. them...good guys vs. bad guys which is really much different from S1....of course once again just my opinion.
