Well, I missed the boat on that.
No, I think you were on the right boat and I was looking around for, like, a helicopter that wasn't coming.
That was a nice place where they lived. Ah. TV apartments, always so spacious and with nifty details.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I might have sympathy for someone who's upset about being overshadowed by a sibling in their family dynamic, but by a roommate that they chose to live with?
And that's why I thought we were supposed to think he was a pissy guy who didn't get things because he didn't nut up, and spent that energy being bitter that more assured people got things he deserved. Total SNAG material.

As for this ep, they'd definitely seen...the movie whose name I'm completely forgetting that was really good with the found footage..
Blair Witch project?

Nope--Chronicle. Multiple cameras found footage, three students who gain mysterious new powers, and how they completely fail to handle them well and the one who gets away. The parallels are really strong. The IO9 review seems to be calling it a found footage episode of Teen Wolf, but it's really nothing like, except for werewolves. It's much more like Chronicle. And Teen Wolf isn't every werewolf story with people who are under 22. I don't know why it would be this one, and I am too tired to even go see their position.

Teen wolf doesn't have two supernatural guys fighting over a human girl, so I can think of at least one under-22-aimed franchise that has more parallels.

Because books.
I think she was simply shorthanding with "teenagers + werewolves," not the actual plot of the show.

The Chronicle parallel is SO huge. I'm not sure why she'd go TW (yeah, I could read the piece and stop wondering, I know) which they don't recap, over Chronicle which they raved about...other than click bait, which makes me sad.

I've never even heard of Chronicle!
BTW, my bff bought me a daypass for the Chicago Con - for Sunday. It will be cool to see the con friends.

You should rent it. I was hesitant about found footage (never saw Blair Witch for no good reason) and heard a lot of people saying it was over, but most of them retracted it when they saw the film. I think there's only 1 scene where the conceit doesn't make sense, but the energy of the cinematography isn't at all circumscribed or the blocking forced.
Story's also cool--3 kids find an artifact, and superpowers ensue. And...this is probably how it would go down, given the diversity of personalities of teenagers. So, replace artefact with pureblood werewolf, and it's a very similar story, except without the Brokeback FBI.
