SPOILER:

Hmm. This might just be where the show turns to suck. Scott's clearly a whiny dick, and not just because of the alpha. Derek shows up to save the day (again).

Expected reaction from Scott: Dude! We thought you were dead! Thanks for stopping me from killing people!
Expected response from Derek: W.T.F. did you blame all that shite on me for!? Ass! Btw, I left my spine back at the school, can you pick it up for me?

Scott's actual reaction: Allison! Waaaah! Cure?
Derek's actual response: Sure, I'll help you again! I live for that! And die too!

Derek's proper response to Scott's actual reaction should have been: *facepalm* *mercy killing*

Ahem. Anyhoo. Dumbest moment of the show: Jackson somehow making the ridiculous link between a bloody stumpy thing and McCalls gloves. Irrational. Sure, it was a claw, but heck, it could have been a tooth. It could have been almost anything. Derp. And now apparently he knows Scott's a werewolf, just cause of that.

Best line: Give me the bottle... of Jack. Teehee.

Best moment: Probably Derek coming out of nowhere to stop Scott, which then quickly turned to suck.

I'll still tune in next week, sounds like they'll reveal the alpha next week. Meybe.

Since the alpha seems to have some sort of influence over Scott, maybe it somehow "psychically suggested" he incriminate Derek?

I dunno.

I have a prediction of the current season. Scott kills alpha, he doesn't get cured, Allison becomes a full fledged hunter by season 2.

Yeah, I guess you can't tell if the alpha's a female or male. What if Scott's mom's the alpha? I still think it's Scott's exes daddy.

Yeah - the TF back was kinda cool. The little suggestion of form you get when he's done makes me think of the Chemistry teacher.
I was really confused about WHY the hunters would be spending their time watching Stiles when Allison mentioned Scott, and when they made such a fuss on how werewolves couldn't resist the pull of the moon, that they'd be running around as their bad wolf selves. Stiles was not exactly wolfy. In any way.

Had another theory about the marks on Jackson's neck. Could be that the Alpha noticed the wolfsbane 'contamination' in Jackson's wound (ie, the weird glowy effect) and ran off because of this. Meybe.

Btw, more Teen Wolf goodness:

Sneak Peek for next week (eppy 9)
Web episode 5 of The Search for the Cure

Write up for the next episode:

"Wolf's Bane"
Jackson puts Scott in danger; Allison starts to question her family's strange behavior.

I agree they are hyping the full moon a lot, but so far I really don't see it as being a driving force in this WEREWOLF tv show lol...

Thumbs up to that

Aaaand, there've been alot of little suggestions that he is the alpha. When he first appeared, splitting Scott and Stiles up, he made a comment on Stiles whisper being loud (forget his exact choice of words), then in the eppy when Stiles is highlighting his book, the way the dude acted, he could still hear Stiles' pen moving across the page and commented on it.

So here's hopin'. I'm thinking the vet and the teacher are in cahoots. I've never been able to use that word before, sweet.

Huh.

Possible SPOILERS

Hmm. Just watched it again. Looks like some pretty serious things are going to happen. Scott's secret is definitely out of the bag, as it appears he gets shot by Kate, a scene that seems linked to him running away with blood coming out of his mouth. Stiles also appears to bring something up to Chris about a code, which suggests Scott's age is supposed to be a known factor.

Ya know, gotta wonder, why be a werewolf hunter if you only load the special bullets sometimes? Why aren't all of their bullets wolfsbane? I don't think Scott gets shot with a laced bullet.

Apparently Lydia gets attacked. There was a hint from the folks on the show that someone would be bit at the end of the season. I'm wondering if the lass thrashing around on the bed is Lydia. That's a HELLuva lot of blood. Guess someone had trouble finding a vein??


Maaaaybe the lass on the bed is Kate? ... nah. It annoys me that she's got Derek propped up like a werewolf popsicle. Pretty sure that's Derek anyway. Stupid. I wonder if that's what Allison walks into when Kate opens that door.

Derek reveals all to Jackson at the Hale house? Seems Jackson might be a Hale after all? Or, is Derek just trying to tie up a curious loose end?

Scott tells Stiles AND Jackson that he can't protect them. Wow, guess the secret is REALLY out. Wonder what Jackson will do with this info? Probably try to be the bestest lacrosse player eva!

Wonder why Scott was lying on the floor? Crying out in the forest in his formal gear? All very interesting.

At least Stiles get to dance with Lydia! Yay And that's definitely him running across the field to warn her...

Niiice! In the first few minutes they make up for the suck of the previous episode - AND pull a mean fast one with the chemistry teacher! LOVE the alpha's voice

Yeah, this is getting good.

Oh, and forgot my favorite bit, though there were so many in this episode!

When Stiles tries facing up to Derek, they fluff each others jackets up, then Derek makes a fake towards Stiles and Stiles flinches big time with 'Oh my god'. God, I sound like such a fangirl.


Also, I have a wee question...

If Derek's uncle is the alpha, doesn't that make Derek part of his pack? If it only goes by bloodline, and Derek's folks are dead, then wouldn't that be the case?

Which would mean Scott is actually in Derek's pack?

Derek talked about being able to defeat the alpha (ironically to the actual alpha), which I assume meant he'd become the new alpha. Doesn't that suggest being in the same pack?? I'm so confused!


Oh, and another thing... does Allison's dad suspect Scott? How could be not? Beta werewolves look like their human selves, and he saw Scott. Scott's hair is certainly different than Scotts & Jacksons. How did Scott get off so easy in the Argent home?


OH AND ANOTHER THING - what WAS that smack against the steering wheel thing for between Derek and Stiles? Funny but.. wha? Because of the shirt thing?

If anyone recalls a few weeks back when Derek visited his uncle he asked if the Alpha was in the family and got the finger twitch 'yes'.  I had that in the back of my mind but didn't actually think it was the uncle....  oh well.

And have to agree that the Alpha's voice rocked.  The car chase rocked as well.  Great to see them come back w/a strong episode after that week was fairly week.
