Hmm, right, I guess I put Peter wanting Scott to kill in S1 into a separate box, because they said it was more about Scott "bonding" with his alpha by killing according to his wishes... and I guess I missed Peter berating Scott about the not killing in his tirade - but yeah, that does indicate that NOT killing Peter is actually more showing him whose boss than killing him would be.
I loved 3b, but then, you know my opinion on Stiles. ;)
I really love the alpha-beta dynamic and the thought that we might be able to explore a HEALTHY alpha-beta relationship next season excites me! Because Derek didn't have the best relationships with his betas, also, they barely stuck around long enough for us to explore anything at all about those relationships anyway.
I love Malia too. I definitely like the fact that Stiles and Lydia didn't get together - I like them as friends, because I think it gives Stiles time to CHANGE his "entitled nice guy" attitude himself - which is a much better character arc then them rewarding it. I don't care if eventually Stiles and Lydia DO get together (though I'm not saying they will) because I feel like if it does happen it'll happen for the right reasons - such as Stiles NOT being an entitled nice guy, and the relationship growing out of a healthy friendship rather than an obsessive crush.
That being said, I REALLY hope that next season we get some Lydia/Parrish, because I love the idea of those two together... I think Lydia is better suited to slightly more mature men (not creepy-older, but college-age older) and Parrish just seems like such a sweetheart with Lydia, which is I think something that would be nice for Lydia to have, since although she and Jackson loved each other, they weren't exactly kind to one another day-to-day.
Anyway, that's my two cents on the relationships. I do agree that they've written Malia to be VERY well suited to Stiles.
