Was very happy to see Scott not end up getting "whupped" by someone that showed no martial skill other than possessing a special garotte wire yesterday. I got a text from my 20 year old cousin immediately after the show -- we were both happy to see a little bit of backbone.

Not sure why everyone feels the need to defend Scott when he is termed weak by fans of the show? His abilities are inconsistent and do seem weaker now as an experienced alpha than when he was a newby. He was able to beat Isaac and Erica when all were relatively new betas (they were just newer) but as a True Alpha he struggles to even handle his own beta (I know Liam is powered by super teen angst anger but Derek -- a really experienced beta -- shrugged him off like a gnat).

It is really confusing what they do with Scott because when he was first turned, all his senses and physical abilities picked up even in human form (hearing, physical agility -- he became a lacrosse superstar without wolfing out -- etc.) but now he gets snuck up on casually time and time again and overpowered by pipe wielding normals. Meanwhile Liam was about to bench press about 400 lbs yesterday (as a 15 year old) in his human form but his alpha supposedly has to "eye glow" to show any increase in ability?
