At this point I don't get the impression that Derek actually trusts him, so much as suffers his presence because he doesn't want to kill him again, and occasionally orders him to do something useful. As for Cora, I can't begin to guess what her views or motivations are since the text tells me NOTHING in this regard.

After rewatching last week's episode last night, I really want to know what Scott thought his division of labor would accomplish. Cora has been pretty much useless in conflicts with the alphas so far (when not an active hindrance/danger to her family), and putting Stiles and Lydia on scene is just giving the opposition two more helpless hostages. Meanwhile Scott, who actually can intermittently stand up to an alpha in combat, runs off to rescue Deaton from an enemy that that can use the supernatural effectively against even alpha werewolves and has so far only been successfully thwarted by Lydia's and Stiles' brains.

I assumed he thought Deaton was his problem, but they should do their best to not send wolves out alone unless some part of the journey is wolf-dependent. Scott got fucked over my Mama Argent because he was alone--they didn't have enough spare humans then, but they do now.

Also, more phone calls/text messaging.

I also thought Scott thought he was running towards a fight as well. He just shouldn't have run alone. And the other kids should just peep through windows if they don't have escorts and Allison isn't packing.

Now I'm reading meta that says Peter was even more unreliable than we saw--as in, this all happened to him, not Derek.

Which would be fine, but then we don't know why the blue eye thing? I suspect Jeff didn't know at the time, or he's changed from the original meaning, because this is kinda confusing for no good reason.

Also that age bullshit--ask them what year they were born Stiles. Stop letting them be assholes to you.

Also, more phone calls/text messaging.

That reminds me, I cracked up at Isaac stopping to answer his phone in the middle of watching Derek fight for his life against Kali, with the two alphas that have been tormenting him playing make-a-wish with Ms. Blake like five feet away.

Then upon reflection I realized it was probably realistic for today's teenagers.

I'm glad Tyler has Derek in perspective: [link] I like him ten times more.

Tyler H, not Derek. He's still a stupid, dangerous ass.

Heh. Derek's actually beat Scott every time they've fought, and I think he and the kanima were about even for victories against each other. It's just when facing other alphas or hunters that he turns into Snagglepuss.

Has he beaten Scott in a battle of will or words yet?

Why didn't you guys talk a bit more about Continuum? I fell down the same hole I got with Lost Girl where the season pass that had been working just fine broke because the episodes are being listed with the Canadian premiere dates. So I grabbed a bunch of episodes from...places, and the weekend that was supposed to be Orange is the New Black has turned into Breathe Heavily for Victor Webster.

Has he beaten Scott in a battle of will or words yet?

I think he has a battle of wills a couple times when he was first training Scott to protect himself against the (as yet unknown) alpha. To win a battle of words he'd have to actually use more than one per sentence.

I have proof Andrea is liking Grimm. She had seen bits and pieces of it while at work, but I've been watching it and telling her it's better as you go.

We just hit Season 2 and she has decided Monroe is awesome.

She also likes the budding romance between Monroe and Rosalee.

Where's my toaster?

Hee!
