Oh, BLESS you guys. I felt sure that there had to be Teen Wolf discussions happening in Buffistaland!
Don't I get a cookie?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Hey there! Just finished mainlining box set of season 1 of Teen Wolf, on top of the first 3 or 4 eps of season 2 that i caught as they aired in the UK and I am liking it VERY much. I know where ita's coming from re: Stiles/Derek, though; I think Stiles reads as bi, on the whole, but in canon I've been more convinced by his crush on Lydia than struck by chemistry between Stiles and Derek. (I mean, I'll read it and all, but it's not exactly Dean/Castiel in terms of on-screen slashiness, y'know?) But they do get flung together a lot, and they bicker a lot (the angry stripping scene was HILARIOUS) and work well as a team, so there's plenty of groundwork for shippiness to be developed - but I don't think it's actually all that slashy a dynamic in canon. Yet.
Aww, I am LOVING how much more inclusivity there is in this show compared to BtVS season 1; could be better, but it's still moving in the right direction.
Derek is the failiest werewolf in fail town, isn't he? Having just watched the season 1 finale I was a bit gobsmacked that he didn't even take Peter down himself, really. (or at all, I understand.) I have come to the conclusion that he is basically Stitch, only taller and less blue, but just as desperate to build a little broken family of his own. (ETA and less fun; really, Hiddleston's Loki is Stitch, but Derek gets cute'n'fluffy grumpdom married with Winchesteresque levels of guilt and yearning for family, so...)
Every time I see Jackson, I imagine a little lizard wearing sunglasses. I blame tumblr.
Also - crikey, Isaac is played by a Brit! Didn't know that!
Ahem. Hello, lovely people! TV - it's a cracking invention, eh?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, and he continues to be so. I hope you are able to see the rest of S2 at some point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, my heart broke for Derek this week...I might end up staying up for next week's ep, but that would be silly given my sleep issues. Waking up early and watching it before work makes better sense.
Derek is all sour and growly and trying to be Scott's yoda, where Stiles, who doesn't know any specific werewolf facts, knows lots of other random stuff, knows Scott inside out, and can draw parallels like a mofo, so he teaches Scott some of the most important lessons.
I bet Derek learnt most of what he knows from people he loved and trusted--I mean, it was his family, right? His attempt to build a pack out of some pretty shallow high school kids (only Boyd initially looked like his head was on straight, even though Isaac nutted up in the end) was such a desperate grab at recreating what he'd lost, but that's not how what he'd lost had been built, was it?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Derek hasn't randomly bitten complete strangers and tried to recruit them by urging them to kill all their friends, or been killed himself because he assumed that murdering someone's closest surviving relative was water under the bridge after saying "oopsie!" I'd say Peter Hale still has the Worst Alpha in All the Land crown.
