"Again. Again? I....AM....THE ALPHA! I have always been the Alphaaaaa!" The second again sounded like he was asking it quizzically, as in, "what do you mean by again?"

Then to suddenly have Jeff give us the "it was in his own head", or i.e. his ego talking, type of explanation...just seemed like a huge let down IMO. I replayed that one scene at least 5 times just because it seemed like such a huge admission/revelation and gave you that "Omg! WTF!", sort of excitement. Now it's kind of like, "meh." I mean just think about the implications that would have had. I think it would have been a much more powerful twist and given a lot of strength to the overall arc of the show. I just keep thinking that for a character that is supposedly "loosely" based on Iago from Othello, Peter sure has shown us that he possesses every single trait of that villain. In fact, he might as well BE Iago in all but name. Oh well. Can't wait to see what they do next!

I like the way you explain your thoughts on here. However, I have to respectfully disagree. I don’t think Jeff's explanation came out of nowhere. To me it wasn’t sudden at all. I think he was explaining what was already perfectly clear to me from the writing. Watching the scene I never thought it was literal. I didn’t even consider it until people started saying it on here. You WERE interpreting his “Again? Again?” comment correctly. The problem is that Peter just wasn’t talking LITERALLY. Here was my explanation of why I already saw it like this before I even read the article (if I may quote myself LOL):

All indications at this point is that Peter is NOT an Alpha. He definitely suffers from "delusions of grandeur." The key here is two thing he siad. 1) He said I am "THE Alpha" (not an Alpha). 2) He said "I've always been the Alpha." We know that this part is not literally true. He has not ALWAYS been an Alpha. He FEELS like he's the Alpha in the sense that he's in control and manipulating everything (which he WAS). I think him calling himself "The Alpha" is much the same as Deuc calling himself "Death destroyer of worlds." It's just for dramatic effect. Not literal.''

As far as letdowns, I did WANT Peter to become an Alpha and fight The Demon Wolf. Can you imagine Peter’s season 1 Alpha form Vs Deucalion??? Now that would have been awesome. If anything that was a little bit of a letdown for me.
