Teen Wolf: Unleashed

Last episode of Teen Wolf was full of…I have no idea. I don’t even know how I feel about any of it. Let’s start with the little scenes before we get right into the main themes and plot of the show.

Now, I don’t know what- well, actually I know exactly what the writers are doing with the character relationship of Ms Jennifer Blake and Derek Hale and let me tell you, I am not a fan. I’m not saying this from the perspective of a Derek fangirl, BUT from the scenes I’ve seen, I just don’t see the chemistry. It was awkward and forced and… I don’t know, it’s just not doing it for me. (I’d like to point out that I am also NOT a Sterek shipper). 

The second thing on my list is Isaac Lahey. I don’t know why but this season  has basically been a “Let’s pick on Isaac" theme. I love the fact that the writers have decided to explore more of his back story, because, yes, he looks like a perfect statue of a greek god come to life but his past has seriously messed him up and that kind of trauma stays with you, which is seen by the flashbacks he has when confined in a small space, it’s no wonder he seems to be on the verge of a meltdown this season.

 

Okay, let’s get down to it. The episode started off with yet another murder of a guy while he's looking for his dog after going to the vet. He looks under a car and gets bitten, but it wasn’t his dog who bit him, so, OF COURSE he had to stick his hand back under… Idiot.

Meanwhile Stiles is stressing out about being a virgin because of his virgin human sacrifice theory last episode.

 
 
Duke being the “Alpha of Alphas" is actually really amazing! Teen Wolf have managed to create more than one villain on the show and I must say it is making the show even better. That is...until he went a little crazy during his monologue and cracked his glasses... but I still really like him as the villain.

Towards the end of the episode we see more of Scott's boss (who's name escapes me) getting more involved, which is about time too seeing as he always seems to know everything about everything before everyone else does. Overall it was a pretty great episode that ended with the opening to yet another mystery plot, which shows just how promising this new season will be.

Twisted (S01E02)

I know I should've started my post from the first episode but I've had end of semester exams (uni's killing me) So, I'll just start with this weeks episode.

A phsyco murder mystery for teens? Now, I'm a Pretty Little Liars fan but also a Bates Motel fan and something about this show seems dark and...almost combining those two shows together which really made me like it. Basically, Twisted, follows a teenage boy, Danny who comes back to the small town he grew up in after spending 5 years in juvy hall, after murdering his aunt.



The episode starts off with the events that happened at the end of last weeks episode, the death of Regina. We are also being introduced to a necklace who was worn and stolen from Regina. It was revealed in the last scene of the first episode that it was Danny's aunt's necklace. I wasn't sure how the mystery would kick off until I saw Danny holding the necklace in his hands, which raises the question of him killing the girl or not.

Personally, I like the way the show has created Danny's character and I really hope they don't ruin it with a bunch of melodramatic cliches. Just once in a TV Show I'd love to see the main character NOT a hero or hero in disguise. I'm actually curious to see what they'll do with his character because right now, I like how he doesn't seem like the character that screams out "Look at me, feel sorry for me, I'm just misunderstood" all the time.. I want him to be bad. Does that make sense? I mean, obviously people need to sympothise with him a little bit, but not like they do in every teen drama, you know?

I honestly thought I could write more but there was really nothing much that happened on this weeks episode.

Teen Wolf - Fireflies.(S03E03)

I can honestly say I am absolutely loving the new season of Teen Wolf so far. I have to be honest, when the show started I was watching it only for the sake of having something to watch, but over the years it has really grown on me. I was extremely surprised when season 3 came out to see the show growing up with the cast. It no longer has that light, shallow, teen vibe. It's darker, much more intense and there's an incredible amount of depth in the characters, and I guess it doesn't hurt that the cast got better looking. haha (ALL THE TOPLESS MEN!)



Watching this episode was incredibly intense, and I loved every minute of it. The look and the feel of this episode was incredible! The episode being set at night made some very suspenseful moments in a couple of the scenes, but not as suspenseful as the opening scene, with the two little kids catching fireflies before Boyd tries to hunt them. Only after a few minutes of making these adorable kids fear for their life, does Scott save them. The remainder of the episode revolves around trying to catch the two werewolves rampaging all over town. We see almost all the characters working together in this episode and it's really nice, what made it even better was bringing Chris Argent back (He's awesome!).

As the episode goes on things just get even more intense, even for Lydia and Stiles. We still haven't figured out what's linking Lydia to all of this but I think I have a few theories (might keep it to myself for now, though). By the end of the show we see Derek on the ground after ripping apart Boyd and Cora and I just...(WHY?! THAT WAS HIS SISTER!).



We then see Derek helping Miss Blake up from the little corner she was hiding in and to be honest (NO!) what are the writers getting at here? (You know they're making her important to the show in some way/potential love interest or something) Yes, yes I know a show needs love interests but...I'm just not really feeling this one. I'll give her a chance I guess...

 

The show ends with yet another mystery and more reason to watch the show, as Stiles mentions something about human sacrifices. Now, I don't know what it is, but I'm really liking this new and improved Teen Wolf. THIS is what I want to see in a supernatural tv show. The horror element they have gone with this season is amazing and I can't wait for the next episode.
