"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is anyone watching Teen Wolf this season? It seems even cheesier and more over the top this season but not as enjoyable for some reason.

I am. Just started getting into it again.

Is anyone watching Teen Wolf this season?

What was the story with the principal? I didn't get that, because I thought that Allison's family considered themselves the good guys. How does the torture and murder of an innocent (non-werewolf) person fit into that? And I seriously have no interest in Allison or the big epic romance whatsover. I watch purely for Stiles. Him, I love.

Apparently now that grandpa is in town they're just evil. My guess is Allison's father will actually have to save Scott from his father by the end of the season.

I agree about Stiles, he's really the reason to watch. I like the Alpha too, but mostly just to look at.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stiles/Derek is the bomb!

I read one Teen Wolf fic because I was exploring how other fandoms did one of my favourite slash tropes (sharing a bed), and it was really enjoyable. And? Full of het relationships as well as Derek/Stiles. They were barely even the main pairing. Not a vilified woman in sight.

Has Supernatural ruined me?

I'm trying to figure out the last thing I saw the major in.

Me too! He's one of those guys that gets around, but i can't remember where I've seen him.

Did Korra start having visions before she met Tarrlok?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, she first had them in the episode she met Tarrlok, when Amon came to the Air Temple. So right after she meets him, Aang tries to warn her about him.

I'm glad I was right about Amon and Tarrlok. It would have been too easy for them to have been working together.

And Sokka addressed Kalshane's point about bloodbending! Sort of. Also, there was no light show when Aang took Yakone's bending away, so...maybe Amon really is spiritbending after all.

In conclusion, Lin Bei Fong is a supreme badass.

Well, that's a quick exposure & resolution of Tarrlock's story. Huh.

Lin certainly is a badass.

I was halfway expecting Korra to try to metal-bend her way out of the box, but I guess that's too obvious. Her solution was pretty smart, though.
