okay, teen wolf. let's break this down.

OKAY, SO.

SCOTT IS A TERRIBLE FRIEND

I NEED TO WATCH IT AGAIN WITHOUT AS MUCH TWITTER FLAILING, BECAUSE I AM CONFUSED

WHY WOULD GERARD JUST LET STILES GO LIKE THAT? HE BARELY SCRATCHED HIM, I MEAN, COMPARED TO WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE TO HIM

WHY DID NO ONE CUT DOWN ERICA AND BOYD

GUYS? GUYS. SERIOUSLY, YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS, SERIOUSLY.

ALLISON SHOULD BE SORRY. REALLY, REALLY SORRY. GIRL WENT OFF THE RAILS AND NEARLY KILLED ALL OF HER FRIENDS. SHE NEEDS TO WORK ON SOME SHIT.

DID ANYONE TELL HER HOW HER MOM GOT INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE? BECAUSE THAT MIGHT HELP.

STILES. STILES, YOUR FACE. YOUR FACE, STILES. YOU ARE A HERO. YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS.

BUT I AM REALLY, REALLY CONFUSED ABOUT THE SET-UP WITH THE "GUIDANCE COUNSELOR" BECAUSE IT SEEMED A LOT DEEPER THAN WHAT WENT DOWN IN THE END. OR IS THAT JUST ME? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE

~THE ALPHA PACK; A PACK OF ALPHAS~?

OR SOMETHING ELSE? I AM SO CONFUSED. I MAY WATCH IT AGAIN TONIGHT TO FIGURE IT OUT. HMMM.

LYDIA. WHY. WHY HAS NO ONE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO HER IN DETAIL. WHY. WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO THAT. PLEASE GET THIS GIRL SOME REAL THERAPY, SHOW. SHE NEEDS IT. POOR THING.

WHAT DOES SHE THINK OF PETER??? THERE ARE SO MANY WEIRD PLOT HOLES IN A SHOW THAT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY FUCKING GOOD AT KEEPING IT TIGHT. I AM SO SO SO CONFUSED.

HELP ME

LET'S DISCUSS

ALSO STILES AND HIS DAD AND THEIR FACES AND STILES AND HIS FACE

AND ALSO HIS FACE

AND

P.S. I AM SO INTENSELY ATTRACTED TO TYLER HOECHLIN, IT IS UNREAL

THE ALPACAS.

ugh it was a hot mess. I feel like it's a let down only because 8,9&10 were so good so we were like OK YOU CAN TELL A STORY TEEN WOLF but they had too many things to juggle and BASICALLY dropped them all.

CROL

Seriously, I FEEL THE SAME WAY. There was just TOO MUCH. If they had a two-hour finale, they could have pulled it off, I think, but this was just rushed and felt so disjointed? AND I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I LOVE THIS SHOW. I WANT IT TO DO BETTER THAN THIS. :(

Also I really got irritated at Stiles for the first time ever and when you make Stiles irritating you are SCREWING IT UP.

YES. Although, I GET where he was coming from (if you're referring to the Lydia thing) BUT AT THE SAME, EVERYONE IS FUCKING UP ON LYDIA, JUST BE THE ONE PERSON SHE CAN COUNT ON, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE HER. COME ON. RUN AFTER HER, EXPLAIN YOURSELF. PLEASE. SOMETHING. UGH.

Yes! Like, I'm glad you bought her a present but she's massively fucked up and possibly could use someone to talk about it, or basically any indication that you care about her as a person rather than as an object!!!!!! Also, sorry she tried telling you what it was like being her and you made it about you. Like I love Stiles and his mommy issues for life but I just felt bad for Lydia.

ALSO I AGREE WITH HOLLAND RODEN'S REVELATIONS COMMENT ABOUT LYDIA DESERVING TOGET A WEAPON.

I KNOW! I know. She is getting the rawest fucking deal of this whole thing, and even STILES wasn't right. HE IS USUALLY RIGHT. HE IS USUALLY ON THE MONEY WITH THIS SHIT, WHAT HAPPENED. ;___________;

I HAVEN'T SEEN REVELATIONS YET BUT I AGREE SO HARD. TONIGHT, IT IS HAPPENING. (me watching Revelations, not, like, getting Lydia a weapon, THOUGH I COULD DO THAT TOO)

I disliked the gift thing MOSTLY because it felt like they were desperately trying to fill their Macy's advertising budget and there were so many THINGS in the show that needed to be addressed, it made me cranky that that took up time and NOT EVEN in a good way, in a completely unnecessary, Stiles buddy c'mon kind of way. :|

YES. SO MUCH of it was taken up by bullshit nobody needed, like coach's talk about how they need Scott for the team?! ONE OF YOUR TEAM PLAYERS ACTUALLY DIED, MUST WE???

AND, STILES, BB, IDK HOW HARD YOU GOT HIT ON THE HEAD IN THAT BASEMENT, BUT NOW IS NOT THE TIME

I feel like maybe they wrote toward the two final episodes thinking they weren't going to get renewed. and then suddenly RENEWAL. 22 NEW EPISODES. GO. and they were like OH SHIT, SON, WE GOTTA SET UP A WHOLE NEW SEASON HERE! FUCK TYING SHIT UP, WE GOTTA BRING ALL THE FUCKING THINGS INTO THIS BITCH! And then they all took the crack and got to writing. I have no idea when they got renewed or when they were writing/filming, but if I found out this was fact, I would be not at all surprised.

On the other hand. DYLAN O'BRIEN'S FUCKING FACE. OH MY GOD WHAT. WHAAAAAAT. HOW. DYLAN. BB. I JUST CANNOT WITH YOU.

YES. That would make a lot of sense! Because S1's finale was TIGHT, I think, and worked really WELL. Who knows. But I am really really excited for them to get twice the episodes and see what they can really do, you know? SO EXCITED. \o/\o/\o/

BUT YEAH, WITH THE CRACK-SMOKING

HIS FACE. HIS FACE FOREVER.

Yeah, that was pretty much a crazy train of wtf is happening from start to finish. Like, I ENJOYED it, because it was fun to watch with my internet frands? But pretty much NOTHING made sense, no one ever behaved in a believable way, and NOTHING GOT DEALT WITH. I mean. Even GRANDPA TIGH might not actually be dead. That's NOT OKAY. And it wouldn't be so BAD if we didn't know from earlier in the season that they CAN tell a good story--they just DIDN'T, here.

Also for all the completely irrelevant conversations that took place during that episode they could have actually had ONE REAL COMMUNICATION between, oh, ANYONE.

I still LOVE a lot of the things that I love about this show, and Dylan's face, and Tyler Hoechlin's everything (GIRL I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, OH MY GOD). But, JUST BEING HONEST, that was a terrible forty minutes of television last night.

YEP. Exactly. Such a trainwreck, and what's worse, it was so confusing, it stopped being COMPELLING, which is one of the things I love MOST about this show, how easily you start to feel for EVERYONE, and how clearly they WANT you to feel for everyone, even Allison's crazy mom, ffs! You know? So this was just a mess. A MESS. :((((((

OH GOD, DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE IRRELEVANT CONVERSATIONS, OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

PEOPLE. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. SERIOUSLY. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ALL.

I think I would honestly not mind the plot holes so much if I trusted Teen Wolf to pick them back up in the next season. I enjoyed the pacing of the first season a lot, and definitely most of the second season - and actually thought the shortened season was a GOOD thing - it keeps a show from lagging, for sure, and avoids lame Monster of the Week sorts of things. But I think this is definitely a case of too many threads and not enough time to see them through. The last couple of episodes needed at least a couple of MORE episodes to flesh everything out properly, instead of barreling along before the time slot ended. They needed a good beta with a red pen to underline parts and write WTF on them and send them back to be rewritten.

I want to SEE these people actually having conversations about things. Scott and his mom STILL HAVE NEVER discussed the fact that he's a werewolf. Stiles got...let go, and then was sad in his room? I also DO NOT WANT Lydia and Jackson to get back together - she deserves better, tbh, and I don't like him enough to want him to get a second chance. How did Erica and Boyd get let go? Did Stiles get let go and then not even...attempt to contact Derek or Scott about the fact that Erica and Boyd were tied up in Colonel Tigh's basement? I just. Augh. AUGH.

Sometimes it's good to come away from a show having more questions than you feel like it answered, but in this case, it's just a whole lot of narrative leaps that make no sense. Every time I try to figure out the answer to ONE question in my head, I end up having three more on top of it.

They absolutely ran out of time, and it felt like the writers had an idea of where they wanted to be by the end of the season, but didn't really know how to GET there. And so they just put all the loose threads of the season into a blender and gave us some fake Stiles In Peril suspense and thought that maybe that would be good enough.

I know! I really, really want to trust them with it, but IDK. WE SHALL HAVE TO SEE. Still love the show to bits and pieces, but this was disappointing. :( EVEN STILES :( THE ONLY PERSON WHO DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ME WAS DEREK, BECAUSE - DEREK. HE IS BASICALLY DEREK ANDI LOVE HIM A LOT.

I felt the same way about the shortened seasons, and when I heard they're gonna have a full season next season, I was worried about it, but now I'm thinking, maybe it's a good thing? Ugh, we'll see. I JUST WANT MORE. LET'S BE HONEST. ONLY MORE IN A SEASON 1 AND EARLY SEASON 2 KIND OF WAY.

LYDIA DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER. OH MY GOD. JACKSON WAS ALWAYS AN ASSHOLE, YOU KNOW?

Did Stiles get let go and then not even...attempt to contact Derek or Scott about the fact that Erica and Boyd were tied up in Colonel Tigh's basement? I just. Augh. AUGH.

SO MANY QUESTIONS. SO LITTLE TIME.

I ... really really do not understand what just happened. At all. The first scene was so amazing, with Stiles facing down Gerard and talking about his ~bond of friendship and scent with Scott, and ...

Somehow at the end we're supposed to have this sense that Scott and Stiles feel like things are settling back into some kind of normalcy, but how? Jackson is a werewolf now! Peter is alive (and Lydia is not dealing with it, wtf, is she just like 'oh it's cool that happened'?!), Boyd and Erica were tortured and are missing (why isn't anyone looking for them?! Scott? Derek? Hello?), Gerard's death is totally inconclusive ... Allison must need serious help (not just the assurance that true love will wait for her to get over her sudden killer phase) ... I mean, nevermind the pack of alphas (that didn't show up when Peter turned?), the boys have plenty of things to be freaked out about. You'd think their friendship might be a bit damaged at this point, too, after Scott didn't tell Stiles anything and Stiles ... decided he was too much of a liability, and that's why he went and hid in his room when he was mysteriously released? I think? (Still don't understand why Gerard released him, like, at all ...)

Um, sorry. I keep trying to process this shit at people but it's just not going to make sense, is it? /o\ Well, I guess hopefully a lot of amazing fic will come out of them leaving us hanging on basically every point (especially all the interpersonal ones), right?

JFC, show. Feelings.
