Is there anyone else who is concerned about Scott as a character?

Not even just in terms of his raw physical power anymore, but overall the way he is written. I understand and appreciate the effort made by the writers to have strong female characters and I really enjoy seeing Malia and Kira kick ass... just not at the expense of Scott getting to do anything. Am I supposed to be impressed that he threw around a few humans. Betas can do that, Omegas can do that.

Ok, so on to this episode, Scott used to be extremely street smart. To the point that he REGULARLY defeated superior foes using cunning and daring. It was something that won over many viewers during the first and beginning of the second seasons.

And now all of a sudden he's fucking stupid. Of course the hunters have wolfsbane and you've encountered it in aerosol form before. HOLD YOUR BREATH.

Also, his plan seemed quite poor both in retrospect and at the time. Why would you send all your hitters in at the same time, down the same hall with no one acting as backup? I mean if Scott was a competant or powerful Alpha he could bull his way through no problem, but at this point even Scott McCall probably knows he kinda sucks.

Moreover, why even send two non hitters in to negotiate, in fact, why send non hitters to negotiate at all? That's a poor use of assets. You have a Kitsune. Charge her up like a capacitor and if negotiations go south she starts frying people. Or if prefer a less talky solution, have your little lightning fox drain the primary power to the base (and the backup, because lets be honest they'll have a backup), then go in alone. You have night vision and are literally a perfect predator. In the dark, with a bunch of screaming panicky civilians, those hunters lose most of their advantage. I could go on complaining like this for days.

TL:DR  Now Scott isn't just weak, he's fucking dumb too. Its really to early to tell. While I've never been a big scott fan this plan really wasnt that bad. 1 I've never considered scott to be street smart. The only person he truly outsmarted was gerard and I'm sure deaton had more than a little input in that plan. As for the plan. 1 they just wanted to go in a negotiate a release. It would have been dumb to send in Scott and Malia to do it because you dont know how trigger happy the hunters are. They were hoping theyd take the money and leave so there would have been no need for a fight. Having your heavy hitters at a negotiation where you know their going to be out numbered and out gunned just means when shit hits the fan theirs no one to come to the rescue. As for the kira thing. 1 shes never used her electric powers offensively so we dont even know if she can. 2 all the civillians were in 1 room. If shed killed the power the pack for 1 doesnt know where their going or whose actually in charge or even if derek was on the property so theyd of all just been running around not knowing were they were going and im sure the hunters would have eventually broken out night vision goggles and that would have been the end of that.

I will say that who ever directed this episode had to have directed a few in 3A as well because they did that cheesy ass over exposure when they showed off Malia Kira and Scott for the first time. So hopefully the overly dramatic directing that happend in 3A wont happen again but this already let me down. The rest of the episode picked up though.
