Oh, sorry. I misunderstood what you meant. The grimness is probably staying (which doesn't really bother me), but I think we might get Audrey back at some point or at least bits of her.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Yeah. I enjoyed it. And Emily Rose looks to me like she's having fun playing evil. One thing I'm afraid of: the angst when she turns good again will probably be annoying.

The main thing I got from the Teen Wolf finale was that Derek can finally turn into a full wolf, which I have been waiting for since the beginning of Season 2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I understood why once with Teen Wolf since season 1. Why did Lydia need to get out of the basement? Why did Derek evolve? Why didn't Peter just kill Scott himself? Why does her mother take that tone of voice? Why could Liam talk Scott down? I pause to think why Kira and then realise--why Liam or Malia? An entire count of one fight seems to have been won over the span of the season?
Jeff Davis seems to think that writing words down justifies saying them.

The one that really got me was him saying that it never occurred to him or any of the other writers to have Kira use her electricity powers when she was swinging that giant chain around against her attackers. Apparently they all forgot that she's a supernatural creature.

AFATC, she has supernatural samurai powers to wield a sword and lose every battle.
So very useful. I can't imagine why they never made it through a date.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As I said on FB, it's pretty clear to me that the mysterious being the Doctor is afraid of is just the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your House.

OK this made me laugh so hard I think I hurt something. Just looking at it right now is making me laugh.

That episode was GREAT. Moffat may have his flaws, but he's damn good at Fear of the Unknown, and this episode was scary and clever and gave me legit emotions.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That scene in Rupert Pink's bedroom was masterfully creepy. Loved that. I had a little trouble engaging with the ep as a whole, because of the opening monologue. On the whole, it wasn't a bad one; but seriously, there are no perfect hunters or perfect defences, and there are animals whose skill at hiding are as accomplished as any examples in the first two categories.
(Plus, where hunting is concerned, a lion - especially a solitary one - is kind of a crap example. Even as a group, their success rate is around one in three. I will forgive this, though, because of the image of a grey-haired Gallifreyan stick insect perched up a tree on the savannah, scoping out the action.)
