I think we're both in agreement about most, if not all of it but we're merely wording it differently...lol.

Personally, I see a big difference between a lack of control and consciously shifting. I think he was doing all of his shifting willingly.

In the S1 finale: He couldn't speak in full form so he controlled the shift enough to allow him to talk. It looked weird but I didn't think he was losing the "tug-of-war" with his inner animal at that moment.

I concede that once he was set on fire he very well could have succumbed to the animal and lost all control, making him unable to shift back. We just don't know IF he gave in completely.

It all comes down to our own opinion & interpretation. I just happen to believe he maintained control but certainly see where he might not have once he was set on fire during that battle.
