I think they should've removed the Kanima story line from s2 and just focused on the werewolf/hunter story. Really fleshed out the werewolf culture of the show. And possibly brought in the Kanima story line in 3a, and the alpha pack/Kanima storyline like it was supposed to be in 3b.

I also would've enjoyed seeing Stiles with magic expanded on. I think the episode was Raving? Where Deaton told Stiles he needed to be the spark to ignite the mountain ash? And then he believed himself another 30' or so of ash out of the handful he had left? Yea. I really would've liked that elaborated.

Also, I think I would like two 12ep seasons a year, like several basic cable shows do, or did. Having a year between the seasons, when there's only a few weeks/days in the show just feels clunky and pulls me out of the story. I think shorter breaks would fix that some.

Spot on LadyX. Spot on. Especially about Stiles.

What would I Change:

1. The first two seasons flush around 80% of werewolf mythology/history/culture. Leave a bit for future seasons.

2. '''Very clearly define Omega/Beta. Show differences between them.' 'Also I would have them show feats of strength or speed that shows what a Beta could do that an Omega couldn't do and then again with an Alpha. Show the Alpha do something that a Beta couldn't do. Because we've all seen them do similar stuff on the show.'''

3. No lessening of werewolf abilities to human level. Just have three stages of power. Human form, semi-transformed, fully transformed.

4. '''Very clearly define a pack and the benefits. Show such benefits. Also, make some sort of ritual for leaving or joining a pack. Some tangible thing. '''

5. Making sure the creators of Teen Wolf do what they can to keep their actors so they don't throw in hastily created characters or plot lines.

Those are just some of the general things I would change overall.

For Season 2. . . I'm a bit mixed about removing the Kanima storyline or keeping it. Even though this is close to the part where Teen Wolf started jumping the shark, it was a good season for Jackson. Great amount of character growth. So if Jackson stayed on for Season 3 I would have kept the Kanima storyline. Because then Jackson would have joined Scott's unoffical pack. Why would he stay with Derek, who tried to kill him, than go to Scott who tried to save him despite not being great friends. Jackson would become that member of the group that denies being a member but secretly likes it.

I think I would rather have Lydia have become a werewolf rather than a banshee. In Season 1 she kind of was the bitch character whose main interactions were with Jackson and Allison with a little of Scott and Stiles. Her being a werewolf would have been a real changing experience for her and would have probably made a closer friendship with Scott and Stiles as they helped her through the process. Considering that Scott and Lydia would have been made by the same Alpha and would have been a part of the same pack it makes for an interesting connection. It could have created a nice platonic relationship between them. Kind of like Stefan and Caroline in TVD before the romantic subtext of the last season.

Without Lydia being a Banshee, leads to the question of what to do with Peter. I thought the whole resurecting thing was lame and could have done without. However, Peter is an interesting character. So maybe instead of having Lydia as a banshee bring him back, you have the Dark Druid do it. At first, we do not know who or how he was brought back until Season 3a when it is revealed that the Dark Druid did it.

Cora should have never been Derek's sister. Either a friend that Derek made in the years after the Hale fire who decided to join his pack after hearing that he became an Alpha or a distant cousin from a branch family of the Hales that ran away from her family to be a part of Derek's pack, her favorite cousin.

That's all I got for now.

See, I don't think the Kanima was a bad story line. It was just too soon. The timeline between the end of s1 and the end of s2 was only a month. They could've just played up the 'why the hell didn't it work,' angle for a little while, and then maybe in the last few episodes of s2 there start being the problems with the mysterious murders. I could buy it taking a Kanima a few weeks to find a master.
