I imagine it'd be a lot harder to fake stubble or a buzzcut on someone who's actually bald than just giving them a full hairpiece. We could be making fun of hair drawn on with a sharpie instead of a bad wig...

I don't know, they seemed pretty hostile when they faced off in the vault. Of course, they might both have fiendish plots to benefit from weird chages forced upon Derek, with some of the effects we've seen due to Kate's and some to Peter's.

I'm at a loss, since it was only a few episodes ago that teenaged Derek had his healing supercharged from the werewolf norm (how did Deaton know to check for that, anyway?) and was able to singlehandedly outfight opponents that took down Scott, Malia, and Kira in short order. I also don't get why his eyes suddenly reverted to yellow after he regained his adult form. It would have made sense earlier if he'd been de-aged to a point before Paige's death or if what's happened to him counted as a sort of spiritual rebirth that wiped the slate clean, but I don't see how gaining 50 lbs. of muscle and stubble removes indications of past misdeeds.

Being ridden by a porcupine?

He's actually being more of a benevolent mentor type than ever with regard to Scott and the Liam situation. Which strikes me as a good way for hunters to actually achieve the goal of protecting people: form relationships with well-meaning alphas and help them keep new werewolves in line so there aren't victims to avenge in the first place. That also nets the hunters super-powered allies they might be able to call on when dealing with the evil supernaturals.

I normally avoid visiting my family when I have a sore throat or cold to keep them from catching it, so I'm thinking a big fat no to seeing them just after arriving on a quarrantined flight that killed 98% of my fellow passengers and gave me tinnitus, unexpected bleeding, and the complexion of modeling clay.

Maybe if you mean in the sense of interviewers on PR tours making uninformed assumptions. In behind the scenes stuff I've seen Holland and Colton laughed whenever the suggestion that they were a couple in real life was made.

The life of Howard Hughes might be good fodder for an episode. The Spruce Goose alone would give a lot of opportunities for drunken amazement, nevermind dating half of Hollywood and the later reclusive stuff.

I don't mind that, as best friends' parents coupling up strikes me as a Disney type of storyline rather than soap opera. I like Sheriff Stilinksi's and Melissa McCall's current friendship just fine, no added romance needed. Why couldn't they have had Lydia and Malia taking a class where the latter's education level wouldn't make her participation ridiculous? Maybe an elective in the Arts or an introductory foreign language class (assuming there are any commonly-offered ones Lydia doesn't already speak) where they might be able to start on roughly even footing? They could still get the fish out of water scenes, and since Lydia seems to quickly pick up the knack for everything they could still have her be the one offering advice to a stumped Malia as long as the class project wasn't about avoiding contamination of forensic evidence at crime scenes.

Amen to that. I only recall reading one book with Quinn before quitting the series, but I heard his voice in my mind as Cartman's from South Park, which made his speech quirks entertaining in a way Harris probably never intended.

I think the show missed a good opportunity with Isaac. Instead of a counter-intuitive relationship with Allison that looked to me as if it had no foundation apart from Jeff Davis knowing the actors had dated in real life (and man, how awkward would filming their make-out scenes have been given that they were broken up?), they could have expanded his hero worship of Scott into an actual, unrequited crush, which would have (1) tied his storyline in closer to the main plot, (2) highlighted Scott's leadership as he tried to let Isaac down easy while preserving their friendship and roles in the pack, and (3) given some positive LGBT representation without having to go against the established orientation of any of the main characters. (Danny unknowingly dating an adult murderer doesn't quite fit that last criterion as far as I'm concerned.)

A zombie-esque little girl riding public transportation at night without anyone paying attention to her is one of the plot points I didn't have trouble believing.

Well, they're probably not casting from a pool that includes Oscar winners when looking for extras willing to play Naked Autopsy Vampire #3. Though I'm now imagining Dame Judi Dench and Sir Anthony Hoplins doing quick cameos as such...

It does seem that the emphasis on the freak show aspect will avoid completely retreading the ground Carnivàle covered years ago, if it's less supernatural omens and more body horror.

Would the authorities really have waited around all that time for the CDC to open up the plane, rather than assuming that everyone going silent a few minutes after a flight landed might more plausibly be caused by terrorists or some sort of fire/chemical leak that would knock out/kill everyone at once? I know I sure wouldn't be thinking extremely punctual Ebola virus as the likeliest explanation. Or maybe in this setting the CDC takes over every situation thanks to Jackass McToupee? "Ferry's running ten minutes late—must be a bubonic plague outbreak. Quarrantine Staten Island immediately!"

Sharknado!

Given Kira's parents wanting to move back to New York and unknown parties hunting down supernaturals in Beacon Hills, I'd say she's the top orphan candidate among the main cast. I'd hate to lose the Yukimaras, but I'd hate to lose Sheriff Stilinski or Melissa McCall a lot more.

Hell, I might vote for that over the wine cellar scene as the best part of the entire series!

Oh, at least the pilot was already filmed by then - I remember seeing photographs. If I'd thought anything I wrote would have resulted in changes other than how the TV promos were edited, my "expectations" would have borne a suspicious resemblance to Wonderfalls.

Danny was the goalie for the lacrosse team sophomore year, so having the unknown kid in goal for tryouts does imply that he was absent and not just standing around off-camera.

I really enjoyed their use of Gin Wigmore's "Black Sheep" when Lydia returned to school after her romp in the woods in Season 2, and the Dada Life song for that big locker room fight between Scott and Jackson was hilarious. I also thought the instrumental score for Jennifer Blake's epic final confrontation with Kali and the twins was a major contributor to the impact of the scene. (Really, the entire score for Lunar Ellipse was incredible.)

I think that aspect of the after-show is written with its teen audience in mind rather than being a true reflection of Jill Wagner's viewpoint. She did feel mortified and apologize to Ian Nelson's mom after filming a kissing scene with him, after all. And at least with her it's coming from someone the cast actually knows, so it may have the feel of being teased by a friend and co-worker rather than perved on by some stranger with a microphone. If you want to see some truly cringe-worthy examples of how much more awkward it could be, take a look at the first two Teen Wolf Revelations specials. The host mixed up actors' and characters' names and asked questions like "Dylan, did it turn you on to watch Holland and Jackson making out?"

Carry Nation's crusade for temperance. When the actual source material has a Queen Victoria lookalike toting a hatchet and busting up bars, you know Drunk History would have a hilarious take on it! The Boston Molasses Flood The Richard Riot in Montreal I can just see the narrator getting it mixed up with that episode of The Beverly Hillbillies where Granny thought Grant was still alive and joined the Battle of Culpeper Plantation!

It might be a matter of degree, like Derek could cow Isaac into submission when cornered during his first full moon but not Isaac, Erica, AND Boyd when they're all flipping out simultaneously. And Scott (like the show itself) seems to forget he's an alpha most of the time, so it might be that it doesn't even occur to him to try.

The Eichen House thing is a bit overblown, though. It can't have been more than three months since Stiles' stay there, so unless California's insurance companies process claims a lot faster than anywhere else there's a good chance his dad is still within the grace period of the first bill. And you can basically drag out payment for medical bills forever as long as you set up an installment plan or at least are making regular good faith payments. (To say nothing of the fact that between law enforcement family health coverage and a sheriff's salary, a few days' stay in a mental hospital should be a case of "I guess we'll brown bag it for a while and put off buying new tires until the spring" rather than "Oh noes, we're going to lose the house!") I'm kind of hoping that Sheriff Stilinski isn't having money troubles, and is just witholding payment prior to litigation because of the crap job the institution staff did of supervising their patients.
