Teen Wolf

I thought it was an awful episode. Sometimes I think AVClub can be too harsh, but their D+ review of the episode was about right for me. I had a friend who had an under 5 in this episode, so haven't commented about it on Facebook, but ;)

Pretty much: "

Seriously, the majority of this episode is adults torturing youths simply because they’re not 100 percent sure that the lead youth is not a murder (and as we all know, he’s not). Teen Wolf has featured a lot of ridiculous things that require suspension of disbelief—see the majority of season three, especially the Yakuza bits—but to spend an entire episode of the show in Mexico, with someone who is technically a good guy mentally and physically torturing teenagers who are also technically on the same side as her, for no reason at all, is not a good start to the season. Neither is not hearing a peep from anyone’s parents (especially Scott’s mom) or hearing about the mysterious investor who provided these teenagers with $50,000. None of this is Teen Wolf.

A prevalent question in an episode of a show called Teen Wolf should not be “Where are all of the adults?” But after how last season ended in comparison to how this season has begun, someone over the age of 25 needs to be taking charge. The next (even more important) question is “Why is this so boring?” Even in its more basic season-one days, Teen Wolf always knew what it was doing when it came to its pacing."

AFter watching this episode, my main two thoughts were 1. I really wish they wouldn't do so many slow motion scenes 2. Without Allison, I can take or leave Lydia.

i think she's doing okay, but since she's Stiles's love interest, she will probably get a lot hate from Stydia (Lydia and Stiles) and especially Sterek(Stiles and Derek) fans.

Well tonite's episode was A LOT better then last week.....I think last week was just weird cause it didn't take place in Beacon Hills and I commend them for trying to change places a little but I think the show works better when they are at home....

I have to admit I enjoyed "Young" Derek tonite and I kind of wish they would have kept him on a little bit longer.....I know they need Hoechlin but it was refreshing to at least see a different take on the role, though I know it's because he's suppose to be a teenager.

Yeah that was pretty funny.....It almost makes me wish that they could have hired Ian Nelson (who played young Derek) as a younger brother of Derek's who didn't die in the fire......The Cora thing Flopped IMO so I wonder if it would have been better if they just came up with a little brother for Derek instead.....

Well was happy to see Lacrosse back in this episode! Forgot how much I enjoyed those scenes.

I actually liked Dylan Sprayberry as Liam. It will be interesting to see how his story unfolds now that he has the bite.....It was shocking that he wasn't a werewolf already cause he was too good at lacrosse.

I have to admit I would have preferred just 12 episodes a season but I think cutting it to 10 separate arcs instead of 12 for 24 episodes is a little better.

So apparently Dylan Sprayberry is gonna be a regular next season. I'm happy about that because out of all the new faces I feel he has the most potential. Plus I kind of do see him being the lead "star" if Posey were to leave one day.

Who knows honestly?? I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to come back Over the lack of use and being the token gay character of the show...they even said they were going to pair him with that new gay black guy mason and yet he hasn't been seen yet.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
