God, Scott's mother. Jesus.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.
The morgue scene cracked me up with Scott yelling at his mom to zip the bodybag. Dude, Jackson's ripped off car doors and thrown you through a porcelain sink; I don't think a plastic bag is going to keep everyone safe from him.
I am now watching Season 2 of Teen Wolf, and they have new credits. Is the first picture of Stiles poking Scott in the butt with a lacrosse stick?
These Teen Wolf guys are flush with the newness of it all, plus Dylan is either on drugs or...no, I'm gonna go with drugs, because that amuses me, and it's not a court of law or a publication at risk of libel suits: [link]
So I've been marathoning Pushing Daisies, and the big standout for me is 1) Kristen Chenoweth is AWESOME and the crap she took was hysterical and demeaning and she took it like a champ. Have some mud thrown on your face, let the dog slip you some tongue, etc.. And 2) Olive Snook is AWESOME and the star of the show. Forget Ned and Chuck and their treacle romance. Olive is where it's at. Olive's UST and URT is a full-fledged thing of beauty, in that she is the third wheel, yet has such a rich individual life and her one-sided romance doesn't come off as in service to the main romance, but almost something greater than it.
Yeah, Olive really shined, and I loved how they handled her character.
Okay, really? It's a pastime to send the showrunner Sterek exhortation? Like here: [link] or [link] ? And there are some really seasoned fandom people talking there...
Did I miss a step in the evolution of fandom? Is there a point at which it would have been appropriate to do that for Dean/Castiel or Neal/Peter or any other slash (or non-canon, let's be honest--shows are pretty clear about what ships they're entertaining and what they're not) ships?
Like...
Seeing a nice, steady handful of considerate and and thoughtful tweets to Jeff about wanting to see the Stiles/Derek relationship continue to grow in Season 3
Stiles/Derek relationship continue to grow... that's not the same thing as Stiles+Derek relationship continue to grow. I'd contend the latter exists, and can therefore continue, but the formed is a thing that fans like and write stories about and an angle from which to interrogate the canon about and something to squee when canon throws you a bone, and to make art about and and and...as far as the actual / goes, it's not in the show.
Now, hey, season three might open with a slow pan up their naked legs entwined in bed. Congrats to the Sterek shippers if it does. But I don't that means a) it existed in S2, or b) it;s something to petition the writers for.
Why are we petitioning writers for ANYTHING? Seriously? Step away from the internet and ask that question...when did that become normal and acceptable? Yeah, sure, I've mentioned a couple, ah, costuming choices to a few writers or directors, but...I know I'm playing at bullshit. I honestly think it's rude to do seriously. Oh, if asked, I have lots of opinions, but that;s not the same thing.
I don't know... I think it's fair game to criticize what you think didn't work (i.e., Allison's lightning-fast attitude turnarounds and Jackson & Lydia suddenly becoming True Love rather than an opportunistic power couple for me) and let the creators know you'd like to see them do better. But making up stuff whole cloth and campaigning for the show to insert it just seems like a recipe for disaster.
If the writers are on Twitter, they may very well be reading tweets (not that all bother). So, yeah, tweet your opinions on the show, no need to hide. Even @ them, I guess. Linking them to your LJ or tumblr review? I think that's pushy as hell.
And campaigning for any non-canon ship or future plot point that the show isn't deliberately teasing? GROW UP.
I'm disappointed in Daunt, I can't lie. She came up in SPN. She should know better than this shit. Last week she was messaging me about looking for non-Sterek space, and now she's caving to people and saying it's fine to petition for the ship?
IT'S NOT ON THE SHOW. Seriously.
I guess I should be glad they're not in Supernatural where I'd go seriously batshit.
Thank god, the foofurrah seems to be calming down, and Daunt is on the side of calm. What is wrong with people? Yours | Not yours. Such is life. Get over it.
