It's not so much of not having a redemptive arc for me...it's that they have made him almost completely unsympathetic. I mean on Once Upon a Time, Regina is just as bad as Peter...she killed her father to inact a curse so that she could cause everyone else to suffer and have her happy ending but they made her sympathetic by giving her a backstory that showed that she wasn't always like that and showing that some pretty horrible things were done to her. With Peter (while we have gotten a few shades...comforting Cora in the hospital when no one was looking) it isn't really enough...at this point he's become almost one dimensional...just curl your mustache and throw the damsel in distress on the train tracks.

I actually prefer season 1 Peter where we at least could have the head canon that the fire warped and twisted him into the villain he became. Don't get me wrong I still love the character but I haven't really liked the direction he's been taking since the "I am the alpha...I've always been the alpha line". It wasn't some big reveal (that he actually was the alpha) and did nothing as far as developing his character at least in my opinion. It's really no different than the Talia "saint" character. It's like she can do no wrong and yet I find the fact that she stole a memory from Peter's mind highly offensive even if she might have been doing it for the right reasons...and it sounds like from this Peter was probably unwilling for that memory to be removed (just from her reasoning)...did she actually force it from him? Maybe this is where Peter learned mind manipulation from...it had been done to him...just speculation and my opinion. sorry I'm just rambling but the episode gave me a lot to think on.

I think Malia is the legit offspring though...they were leaning towards putting Stiles with Cora but Cora won't be back so I think Malia is the replacement Hale in that storyline. A lot of people are saying that Jackson was supposed to be his son originally but Colton left so that storyline had to be scraped.
