It's a freaking fantasy tv show, if you're picking it apart you're going to ruin the one thing that makes fantasy enjoyable; which is our own suspense of disbelief. You can't influence how a story is going to pan out, you shouldn't try. Just go along with the ride and enjoy it.

Anyway, ships aside. I feel like what we will see with Malia is her dealing with her guilt and grief. Maybe some anger towards Scott and Stiles for keeping truths from her & that is definitely interesting enough for me to keep watching her.

But see, that's the problem with Malia, the way they handled her is so improbable that it shattered my suspension of disbelief. And by the fact that other people complain about her, about the same things I have issue with even, it shattered other people's too.

Now, Malia herself might not have been so bad, if my suspension of disbelief wasn't already cracked from what I, and others, consider a lack of consistency. Paul.rea disagrees, and he's entitled to his opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that that's how it reads to multiple fans. The school thing also might not have been so bad if they actually addressed why she was there instead of being privately tutored, or showed she was in special ed classes.

I'm a sterek fan, btw, but only in fanfiction. I do not expect it to ever become canon, and I'm not sure I would like it if it did. It's fine that Stiles is developing a relationship, be it with Malia, Lydia, or anyone else. My problem is strictly with the choices they made with Malia, and the fact that they had Stiles lose his virginity in an incredibly sketchy manner.
