I think I would honestly not mind the plot holes so much if I trusted Teen Wolf to pick them back up in the next season. I enjoyed the pacing of the first season a lot, and definitely most of the second season - and actually thought the shortened season was a GOOD thing - it keeps a show from lagging, for sure, and avoids lame Monster of the Week sorts of things. But I think this is definitely a case of too many threads and not enough time to see them through. The last couple of episodes needed at least a couple of MORE episodes to flesh everything out properly, instead of barreling along before the time slot ended. They needed a good beta with a red pen to underline parts and write WTF on them and send them back to be rewritten.

I want to SEE these people actually having conversations about things. Scott and his mom STILL HAVE NEVER discussed the fact that he's a werewolf. Stiles got...let go, and then was sad in his room? I also DO NOT WANT Lydia and Jackson to get back together - she deserves better, tbh, and I don't like him enough to want him to get a second chance. How did Erica and Boyd get let go? Did Stiles get let go and then not even...attempt to contact Derek or Scott about the fact that Erica and Boyd were tied up in Colonel Tigh's basement? I just. Augh. AUGH.
