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

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

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.
