So (spoilers through 2x09, no preview) now that I've caught up: Isaac saying that his dad didn't used to be bad. It's probably not a stretch to guess that he started to go downhill at the same time as a certain kid drowned in the pool? We still have no idea the deal was with presumably the kanema digging up up and eating a girl's liver in the cemetery in the first episode. Matt seems too established to have just popped back into existence from the dead, despite seeming to have been murdered years ago by the swim team via drowning. He has a job as a photographer and is known to people. Perhaps the last two points are related. Maybe the kanema seeks a dead, murdered master, and brings them back to possess someone and act as a tool of vengeance on their behalf. The girl whose liver was taken is posessing Matt. Extremely random and probably incorrect theory. God knows what's up with Harris' car. As for Lydia: maybe the reason that Peter needed her immunity was that he needed to to the psychic thing alphas can do on a scratch/bite deeply enough to take her over entirely, but with anyone else that would turn them and that'd ruin things, what with the ceremony needing to happen on a full moon and use lots of wolfsbane. Still no idea why the hell he needed a hallucinogen-laced party. I hope that drag queens or gay clubbers keep (occasionally) being shown as Stiles' friends for the rest of the show. I hope Danny takes his shirt off more. I cannot believe I am hooked on this show. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Jul 26, 2012 |

As for the liver thing, that might end up as one of those unresolved events. Like, I think in their effort to keep the Kanima's master a secret, they threw out some red herrings that they're just not going to be able to track back and address. Maybe not this one specifically, but I feel there's a lot going on in different directions to be finalized in three episodes. I'm still wondering how that "All of us" is supposed to work with the Kanima's possession. It was a good twist at the time, because it was like, woah, maybe something bigger is going on! ... But how's that going to tie into what we know now?MikeJF posted:I cannot believe I am hooked on this show. I think literally everyone feels this way at first  .

I thought it was that one loan wolf that ate the liver? He ate the liver at the grave yard and then attacked the dying/dead person in the ambulance and ate their liver too? Then the Argents caught and killed him? Am I remembering that wrong? KilGrey fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Jul 28, 2012 |

Eh, I don't find them boring, just generic. I think most lead couples end up being that way sometimes to make sure they appeal to as many people as possible since they are the leads and it ends up making them a bit bland. They don't bug me too much though. Also, there is a Canadian series called Lost Girl that you all really should check out. It's pretty awesome and Buffy like. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1429449/ quote:Lost Girl focuses on the gorgeous and charismatic Bo, a supernatural being called a succubus who feeds on the energy of humans, sometimes with fatal results. Refusing to embrace her supernatural clan system and its rigid hierarchy, Bo is a renegade who takes up the fight for the underdog while searching for the truth about her own mysterious origins. I'm quite certain anyone who likes this show, Buffy, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and the like will love this show. I just discovered it a few months ago and binged through both seasons in a weekend.

I keep expecting him to bust out in an english accent... I'm fully caught up now and wow did this improve in the last 2/3 of season 1 and all of 2 so far. On board with Tyler Posey now that he's mostly done angsting and is in full control of his powers. Couple of things - Everyone is an awful, awful friend to Lydia. She should have been brought in right away after she survived the initial bite. I mean, for fucks sake she's writing backwards in front of class saying stuff like SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME and everybody just ignores her. But hey, sure, we'll use your knowledge of ancient Latin to translate things when it's convenient for the gang... Maybe if you dolts had thought to include her she might have said something like, Oh yeah, I'm having visions of that guy who nearly killed me, and he wants me to do bad things to everyone. - I've been going back and forth on Matt this whole time. He's constantly on the brink of red herring, but little things like getting the Kanima to injure him in the library kept me from suspecting him too much. - How the gently caress is Peter Hale going to tie into all this! It seems like a really late addition to the huge clusterfuck already going on, so I'm wondering if he's going to be more on the back burner for Season 3 plot threads they're setting up. (Also on a minor note, the guidance counselor/vet. Is she Kendra the vampire slayer?) - I'm having a hard time believing Mommy Argent wasn't a robot in the first place. Halfway expected sparks to come out of her when she stabbed herself. Also a little hard to buy Allison's reaction of grief since they were never shown to have much of a connection. hope and vaseline fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jul 28, 2012 |

Teenage girls and their moms always have strained relationships. And yeah, Victoria was a bitch but she's still Allison's mom. Even if you are just grieving over the idea of a mother rather than the actual woman, that's still pretty powerful and can gently caress you up. I also don't see why Allison would have a bad relationship with her parents until she came to this school and hooked up with Scott. She seems like a good kid and while strict I can't see them butting heads to much.

Anything at all. Also, I'm also hoping for Peter to be more of an S3 thing.

Did people know there's some sort of side story Teen Wolf book that came out earlier this month? I'm morbidly curious as to how bad it is, or at least how purple the prose are when describing werewolf abs. I went back and re-watched the first season, because I'd forgotten a lot of it since last year, and because I needed something on in the background while I was drawing. I've come to the conclusion that Mr. Harris' sole purpose on the show is to be a dickish red herring for every antagonist. I'd forgotten his only connection to the Hale deaths was that it turned out he drunkenly told Kate Argent about different exothermic chemical reactions while at a bar.

Wow. I can tell who the writer's favourite wolf is:quote:Smirking, she thought of Derek's naked torso, how well he filled out his jeans. His piercing eyes, those eyebrows she used to trace so fondly; and that five o'clock shadow and sexy bad-boy pout. She highly doubted that Chris knew she and two of his guys had paid Derek a little visit yesterday. God, all those muscles. ...did Kate get gangbanged by Derek and two Hunters? also, quote:She showed them the packet of glow-in-the-dark condoms she had purchased Jackson for last Valentine's Day. He had refused to use them. Tonight he would. She'd make sure of that.

That was a doozy. In a good way. Wasn't expecting Matt to get offed so soon, and I love how they're following Buffy's tradition of having a major villain get killed unexpectedly for the real big bad(s) in the finale. Not sure what to make of Scott's betrayal to Gerard, doesn't he know that family will gently caress things up far more often than they do things right? Great timing on the reveal by having Derek overhear it right after the Vet, a.k.a. wise magic black man trope tells him he needs to trust Scott. Seriously huge stuff with Scott's mom finally finding out (drat she looked terrified, that scene couldn't have been better done), Gerard becoming the new master, and Peter casually observing the whole thing. I was pretty skeptical about his return and how it would affect an already very busy last few episodes into the season, but the writers really plotted this all well. I'm way excited for the rest of this season. More Sterek throwouts please  Haha, from AV club commentsquote:Gay guys talking about Teen Wolf: Matt Cameraguy likes to watch naked Jackson and apparently ships Stiles and Derek.

Heh, the incompetence burn was fantastic. So at this point, I'm guessing that they're not going to solve Jackson's issues this season - that's probably gonna require an extended storyline all of its own. They'll probably kill Gerard then bind him to a safe master - if they're willing to bring him in, maybe even Danny. That would of course have the added benefit of loving Jackson over and leaving him pissed off even longer, and we all love that. I assume Allison doesn't know the circumstances of Derek biting Victoria - that Derek was fighting her off from killing Scott - the question is whether or not he'll have a chance to tell her in, preferably in a calm enough environment for it to actually sink in and her realise she's once again on the wrong side here re: Derek. Man, Scott had a lot of chances when Matt was telling his story to werewolf-speed smack the fucker out. They were right next to each other and Matt wasn't even pointing the gun at him half the time. Good job on giving us some sympathy for Matt in the manner of his death. That was harsh. Gotta wonder why they introduced the element of Matt becoming part Kanema himself, though. I wonder if he'll be back to kill Gerard in lizard form. Good way to set up Stiles' dad getting his job back: brutally murder his replacement.

Yeah I was a bit surprised Scott didn't just wolf out on him. Having said that though I imagine that the slight chance he messes up and Matt then decides to kill his mom in front of him was enough to scare him away from that choice. Is anyone else hoping Scott finally just gives in and becomes a full member of the pack? I know it probably won't happen but some of my favorite parts of the show are when they visit the dynamic of the pack and how they are relate to each other. A lot of the time we don't get to see that much of it because Scott is so opposed to the idea of becoming a member of it. I'm hoping that now that his mom knows what he is that Scott will finally embrace his wolf side and just go with it. I'm also wondering what happens to Jackson after this is resolved. Since it's been shown that he isn't immune I assume, based off what we learned from the beast book, that it means he will become a wolf. Jackson doesn't seem like the type that is just going to become a member of the pack. I sense head butting between Jackson and Derek in the next season.

Peter was cast as such an unrepentant douchebag last season that I'm not sure I'd be able to buy his redemption. While his story was sympathetic, things like killing his nurse accomplice for no reason, trying to get Scott to kill everyone, and kidnapping and terrorizing Stiles have him firmly set in the "bad guy" list for me. Allison is now the worst character, though. She's been rather boring for awhile, but now she's just aggressively dumb. She needs to be offset with more Lydia screen time. Did anyone else think there was something weird with the Scott and Gerard scene followed by the Gerard and Matt scene? Maybe it was just bad editing, but the scene with Gerard bumbling about inside with his pills, seemingly set-up for Derek's benefit, quickly cutting to him already outside cooly waiting for Matt, felt purposefully strange.

Azure_Horizon posted:What I don't get is how Derek still has Alpha-Red-Eyes when the old Alpha is back in play. Derek is still an alpha because Peter hasn't killed him. You have to kill the Alpha to become the Alpha, at least that is what we know so far from Season One. If you remember back to season one, Derek got the killing blow on Peter after he had been badly burned which is what led to Derek becoming the Alpha. Let's be honest, this show isn't the best about keeping up with the lore of it's monsters. Take the Alpha for instance, in season one we saw that the Alpha was almost entirely a wolf. He wasn't a human with wolf features but a more classical imagining of what media has shown a werewolf to be. Why doesn't this happen to Derek? Is it because Derek is new to being the Alpha and hasn't figured it out yet or what? I mean Peter was almost seven feet tall and incredibly strong when he was the Alpha. On top of all that, how the hell did Peter come back? Whats the point of killing an Alpha if you know that he will just come back at some point? A lot of the stuff doesn't make sense right now and it doesn't seem that we are going to get answers to those questions this season.

I bet it's cause they realized the CGI full-on werewolf looks awful so they're trying to use it sparingly now. And it's harder to sympathize with a character when they're completely out of their human form and a big, scary loving beast, and Derek is more or less a good guy.

True about Spike, but he at least had some likability when he was evil. Peter has just been a very blah character for me. I really don't follow the Teen Wolf online presence, so I missed that Jeff Davis got run off Tumblr. Kinda funny, since I know Tumblr loves Teen Wolf, but it also loves getting scary irrational about social justice at times. For the record, I do think Boyd has been criminally underdeveloped, but at the same time they've been trying to shove too many storylines into this season already.

And last any of the crew besides Derek saw her she was fine hosting a party, admittedly one where someone spiked the punch.

I love Gerard as the real big bad, especially because he's such a poisonous, toxic, hateful old man. The way he manipulated Allison was disgusting, and I'm kinda annoyed at her for falling for it. She KNOWS her family is full of poo poo, but she doesn't question her family's motives? Maybe it's because she's clinging to what family she has left after her aunt and mother died but... Jesus, Gerard, pre-screening your daughter-in-law's suicide note? There's no way she "wanted your thoughts". He read it to determine if he should give it to Allison, if it would be useful to his purposes. I think Gerard makes a better Big Bad than some mythological beast. The kanima is just a tool, and Gerard is a stronger master than Matt was.

I've seen this said, but I really don't know where it comes from; it seems to be a lot of projecting and making stuff up. So far his main accomplishment on screen is nearly wolfing out during a lacrosse game he knows Derek wouldn't have let him play in. He's had about one line other than that since his bite. Plus, he had the crappiest reason for accepting the bite. Wanting to be part of a pack < epilepsy, or getting beaten on a regular basis.
