Have we ever had any information about Bo's father?
I've got suspicions, with Trick being so very helpful with his dead wife's possessions. Certainly the vibe he gives off to Bo is very fatherly, anyway.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Also a big woo-hoo to the Teen Wolf third season!
I honestly didn't expect to like the series. I've got a soft spot for the original movie, mostly because of MJF and innocent goofy fun, but didn't see how that could extend into a continuing story.

Have we ever had any information about Bo's father?
No, she's adopted. I've long suspected that he's her father.
It would also make sense that it's why she's adopted. A dark fae/light fae baby would make for some issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How does fandom get infected? Is Teen Wolf taking over LJ like it has tumblr? The Sherlock/Supernatural people who were pretty worked up over Avengers, and surprisingly less so over Hunger Games went ballistic over Teen Wolf shortly before the second season started, and they've been going strong ever since.
I'd even forgotten I'd watched the first season until they started up, and everything was familiar...
And now the Sterek actors are shamelessly whoring their ship in order to get Teen Choice votes...it's cracking me up. I can't remember the last time I've seen a slash ship go at it this hard, and y'all know I'm in SPN. They are...incorrigible. And naughty.
It's a lot of fun, though. And I'm sad to say I'm happy that it has more than one het ship (well...one's on rocky ground, but there were two among the main group for a while...who does that???) going on, lots of charisma, and manages to be pretty creepy for that little show on MTV. With a 24 episode S3.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
surprisingly less so over Hunger Games
I'm wondering if the relative dearth of slashable pairings has anything to do with this, and if things might change once Finnick arrives on the scene and Gale takes a larger role.
ETA: I don't think it means that people liked TGH any less. I simply wonder if having a pairing (or two) to squee over tends to generate internet content at a greater pace than other things one might like about a show or movie.

Link please? Derek's basically what you'd get if Angel got rid of his his epic guilt complex and replaced it with a compulsion to wait until people are in the shower before trying to intimidate them.
One of the advantages of having an openly gay (and shameless) showrunner on an MTV series, it makes Supernatural look like it's sponsored by Focus on the Family in comparison!

Hee!
I didn't know one of the showrunners was openly gay - cool.
Sterek -- ick to the abbreviation, but at least the actors have genuine chemistry and witty charm.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Middleman scoop! If the show had gone on, Wendy would have become the new Middleman, and her apprentice would have been...her father! Who, of course, was also a Middleman and had been sent by O2STK to protect an alien culture (Javi described the Middlemen as basically Green Lanterns). He was sent as relativistic speeds, however, so when he returned, he was actually younger than Wendy. This was something not even his writers knew. Margaret Dunlap gasped beside me.
FlashForward scoop! If the show had gone on, the blackout in the finale would have been people seeing different points in time, from a few seconds to a hundred years. And the blackouts would recur at a quicker rate. The first one was nine months later, so the next one would be in six months, and it would finally come to where there was one in three days...and in that one, everyone saw black but 17 people (including Olivia), who then banded together with Lloyd Simcoe to send a message back in time or something and then they create some sort of time paradox where they find out they sent the blackout-predicting computer back to themselves or...something.
Sarah Connor Chronicles scoop! Er, Josh Friedman is very tight-lipped and Ian Goldberg couldn't really say anything that wasn't already implied in the finale, except that John Henry is definitely running around the same future timeline as John Connor.
