Here's the thing, I watch Teen Wolf UNironically, so when they start messing up I turn into a sour-wolf.. Also, this will be in list form because otherwise it will be highly unorganized.
1. The mystery girl from s03e01: Tattoo
The entire opening sequence was based on Isaac being saved by this girl. The entire closing sequence was based on the alphas killing this girl. Continuously through the episode Isaac kept asking "Where is the girl?" This mystery girl, in my opinion, had a lot of potential to be something completely different and much much better.
In a perfect world where I make executive writing decisions in all shows I watch, the mystery girl and Cora's roles would be interchanged. I would have Isaac being saved by Cora Hale, doing something his own alpha wasn't capable off. Thus, conflicting Isaac between three wolves to feel alliance towards (Daniel Sharman pulls a great conflicted Isaac Lahey as evident by season2), further demolish Derek Hale's competence, and make a better overall reunion scene once the mystery girl is discovered. If that had been the way to go, Isaac savior wouldn't have been killed and he wouldn't have hated the VOLTRON! twins so much making their alliance further down the season more believable.
Another thing that I didn't catch on about the girl but my sister has pointed me towards was the fact that it seems that all the emissaries (except for one) at this point have been of African descent. Borrowing from The Vampire Diaries, which let us be honest, emissaries are basically witches, doesn't help much with the whole racial cause. Using words like "I've served your family for a long time" and such statements make for offensive racist lines in my opinion.
2. Boyd's storyline
I love Boyd. I absolutely whole-hearted-ly do, or did. He was built like a million bucks, to begin with, had a terrible back story to grow from either as a hero or an anti-hero in the arc.
I thought that he should have been kept in the storyline. Losing a few characters (JACKSON, Victoria, Erica, Gerard -if only-, Matt, I think I missed someone) since the first two seasons made the transition into season three very difficult. Also, Alpha! Derek and Beta! Boyd are not even a thing anymore. I think once Boyd and Erica jumped ship back in season two the became omegas, regardless of the fact that they have been captured by the alpha pack. Whether Derek accepts that or not as an alpha, that's all in Derek's head. Killing Boyd shouldn't have been the same as the other alphas killing their betas. I know, Boyd did come back to help Derek, but I mean really now? REALLY? I think even though he went to Derek's loft with Isaac he was probably more or less the omega of the pack, much like the voltron twins.
3. Stiles and Scott's joined storyline
Stiles and Scott haven't spoken to each other in 4 MONTHS? Stiles and Scott not even calling or skyping each other after each half of the partnership discovers something? Stiles not ever going inside the McCall house a la' seasons1&2?
4. Gerard Argent being alive
Seriously? SERIOUSLY? I hate this guy's guts. He came back basically just to deliver visionary, which was a horrendous thing on its own, but that's it isn't it? Paige died of a rejected bite and spat black goo. Gerard's body did reject a bite, he is spitting and spouting black goo out of every cavity, the next logical step is death.
5. Lack of exploration on the Victoria Argent ghost front
So Allison sees her DEAD mom three times and she does nothing? She doesn't even ask anyone what's going on? And then everything about that whole thing is swept under Allison's mind rug? I know the not saying anything to anyone about it makes sense in Allison's arc this season, BUT at least she would have searched for answers on her own. What the heck? Allison is not stupid.
6. s03e08: Visionary
This is the worst thing on TV since one episode in charmed there was a demon who lived in ice-cream trucks. No, I actually take take that back, that crap was awesome. This is the worst thing on TV since someone paid money to produce Sh*t My Dad Says. This was supposed to connect everything together and yet it just ripped at the seam of this whole season's ripped fabric. Ennis's involvement made zero sense, Talia Hale was a shape shifter? A SHAPE SHIFTER? (bound to be another plotline dangled in front of the audience then never discussed)
I thought we left everything about that in cartoon! Peter Hale back in season 1. EVERYONE'S parents is connected to everything in this freaking tiny teeny town. The only good out of that episode was we actually found out about the colors of the werewolves' eyes meanings and we got to see more of TEENAGE! Peter Hale and grown up Peter tbh and got introduced to the adorableness that is Ian Nelson. *whispers* and Cora/Stiles.
7. The villain and anti-hero situations
Let me list male villains:
1- Peter Hale (alive)
2- Deucalian (alive)
3- the Kanima (dead because Peter and Derek killed the kainma?)
4- Gerard Argent (alive) not only that but
5- Matt whatshisname (dead)
6- Ennis (dead)
7- alpha voltron twins (alive×2)
Let me list female villains:
1- Kate Argent (dead)
2- Jennifer/ the darach (dead)\
3- Kali (dead)
Let me list male anti-heroes:
1- Jackson Wittemore (alive)
2- Derek Hale? (alive)
I am guessing Scott's dad will be added to this list after 3b.
Let me list female anti-heroes:
1- Victoria Argent (dead)
2- Erica (dead)
This just speaks for itself. Jeff Davis claims to have created a world free of racism, sexism, and homophobia. On how many of these fronts do you think he's succeeded?
On the plus side Kate Argent is coming back in 3b as Allison's heart of immense darkness.
