I know TW wants to steer clear of vampires. However, I feel this is more due to the saturation of "pretty" vampires, for girls to fantasize about, in the media.

I always thought that if TW decided to do vampires, they could go with the hideous Nosferatu style of vampire. No one is doing the ugly, disgusting, murderous style vampires anymore, and it could really work for the story.

Also, I do feel like the absence of vampires in the midst of obscure supernatural creatures and threats was a bad choice in writing. To me, vampires are expected to exist in a supernatural setting, as vampirism is one of the most prevalent mytholgies in the world. The absence is noticed. As a writer, the one thing you do not want is the viewer/reader to be distracted by such things. A simple solution would be to include vampires in the mythology of Teen Wolf, but make them something people loathe, rather than a figure of romantic fantasy.

Unfortunately, we're on the last season, and we'll never get that. I really hope another werewolf series starts. Overall, I've been both in love with Teen Wolf, and disappointed. I began watching because I am a werewolf fanatic, but was often unhappy about the way they were portrayed. On the other hand, Scott's journey has been incredibly enjoyable, and Jeff Davis has some great emotional interactions and character development. Basically, I love the show for what it is, but it is not what I want in a werewolf tale. In fact, it's more or less become a group of kids struggling for survival in a supernatural world...and some of them happen to be werewolves. Cool, great watch, but not a recommendation to werewolf nuts like myself.
