Episode Three of Teen Wolf, Chaos Rising.

Shame that after all the flappin' last episode, Erica being dead was quickly brushed over, but then I don't blame them for doing it considering that they could only depict her corpse with a stand in, in a terrible wig.

Still, everything else was great, I forgot what a great character Isaac turned into at the end of the second season. He really did have the funniest moments of the episode, a lot of those moments were really subtle, which made them even funnier.

Alison, my favourite character of the show and a woman I have a MASSIVE crush on, finally picked up her bow again. And man was she badass. Still, the general cheapness of the series, does still let it down at times. Like this episode, which kept telling us (see: screaming at us) the intensity of the situation, we have two super powerful feral werewolves on the loose guys! And yet this was depicted almost entirely by the two characters running at the camera and growling, pretty much doing nothing else, for the whole episode. When the werewolves finally clashed, most of it happened either out of frame or off screen entirely and we only got the whole picture, when the fighting was done.

Oh and there is someone sacrificing virgins. Yeah.

Teen Wolf Season Three Episode Four.

Seeing Tenaya all sweaty in her sports bra was very pleasing to me indeed.

Although this was a fairly slow, unremarkable episode, acting more as a bridge than anything else, there were some interesting new developments. For the longest time I've wondered how an Alpha Pack works, although I still don't really know how, we do have some clue. They have to murder their own pack, to be 'liberated', to assimilate the power of their packs individual parts. I love the little touches as well, like Isaac's claustrophobia after the mental damage his father did to him and it's nice that the behind the scenes stuff is still playing into the show itself as well, like the hints of a romance between Alison and Isaac.

There were some missteps though, the whole speech Deucalion was immensely corny and I'll be interested to see what they do with their serial killer druid, because right now it sounds amazingly stupid.

The cyborg girl from RPM that creepily whistles "The Farmer and the Dell" while hunting the Rangers?

Well, that's definitely something...

Yeah her entrance into the series was erm...interesting.

"Oh yeah by the way Derek, about your dead sister?"
"Yeah?"
"She's alive."
"Okay."

That is pretty much the extent of her character arc so far. There is hints that more is going on than it seems, but time will tell.

Teen Wolf S03E05.

I love the way Allison's and Scott's relationship is depicted. About as real as can be, for a teenage romance involving a werewolf and a chick who hunts them. Their chemistry is just so strong as well.

Everything else though? What the fuck is with the pacing of this episode? Why'd they choose to smash it up and play it all out of order? It was just confusing, hard to follow and pointless.

The fighting was a bit better this episode at least, the battle royale still didn't feel as big as it perhaps should have, but I do like that each Alpha has been given a unique style of fighting and really stand apart from one another.

Isn't Kit from Dragon Knight a regular in Teen Wolf too? My friend went to a Teen Wolf con last month and met him.

He was in the last season, and his character was terribly handled. When everything came together, his character was actually pretty much entirely pointless and only seemed to exist as the main villain for most of the season just to create a water cooler moment when the real villain stepped up. I guess a good idea on paper, but in reality it was stupid and I felt like I was cheated and had my time wasted.

Teen Wolf S03E06.

I dunno really how to feel about this episode. It suggests two paths for the series. One is the suggestion that a new paranormal force is on the loose, the other suggests we're basically doing season two again.

On the one hand, as much as widening the lore sounds exciting, a big part of what sets Teen Wolf apart and makes it work so well is picking one monster and building off of them, so if they are gonna add new things into the mix, I hope that doesn't leave Teen Wolf swimming in a sea of mediocrity like so many other urban fantasy shows.

The other possibility, although providing a nice sense of continuity, would suggest Lydia is about to have exactly the same character arc as season two, which just feels like bad writing by writers I know haven't ran out of steam. So what the hell is this shit?

Still, the greatest charm of the show is the characters, portrayed by fantastic actors and held up by brilliant dialogue. Whenever I feel like I'm disappointed with the show, because of the weak action or whatever else, two characters have a conversation that is more epic than any werewolf clash and the show redeems itself.

So, it's like a live action version of Death Note?
