Teen Wolf 412

Overall, I would rate the finales: S3B »»»»» S4 » S3A » S1 » S2.
My overall opinion of S4? Eh. The only thing I hands down adored was Stalia. What miffed me the most was the absolute lack of any kind of storyline for Stiles that wasn't Scott's, Lydia's or Malia's by proxy. It felt like after S3B which was Stiles centric, they said, "Well, that was enough. Let's take three steps back and make him just the sidekick with no arc of his own again while everybody else is getting stronger, better, greater." Because literally every other main character became more... something this season. Just Stiles turned once again itno a simple prop for everybody around.
This reminds me so much of Dean in SPN: in 9 cases out of 10, the story was about Sam and when Dean finally got an arc, it was actually Sam's by proxy. In TW, Stiles is basically there to help Scott become the Werewolf Jesus. God forbid he had a storyline that was NOT linked to Scott - in S3B, he did have his own arc and it was the best rated and best reviewed and most popular season yet. So what do the writers do? Make a 180 and turn Stiles into a background noise again. Good job.
