I don't think Allison is a lizard unless it's a hidden part of their family, along with being Hunters. Could just be a 3rd party being introduced as I gather from the season preview, things are about to pick up. Allison's grandfather has pretty much declared war and Derek himself is building up a pack to deal with this threat. Things could get really ugly if this lizard is killing people on both sides and they end up pointing fingers at one another. Just a matter now of Scott and Allison telling their sides that there is a new player in town and maybe Allison's family can look it up.
Lydia is possible. She was wandering around for 2 days and we don't know what happened to her this past full moon. Maybe Peter's attack on her triggered something in her genes but something amphibian? Probably just an entirely new 'Were'/Creature that's moved into town. Maybe Scott's boss knows something?
Still love Derek & Stiles' scenes. Always good for a laugh. Wondering why Jackson's body rejected the change though.

They keep teasing us about Scott's boss. Allison's dad knows what/who he is and I just really want to know. I guess we'll find out next week if he's going to have that talk with Scott now and explain about the creature that's killing people (  at him distracting Scott with a pay raise). Wondering when Lydia is going to come around to Stiles. He tries so hard and flops in most of those attempts but you have to give the guy credit. And he works so well with a lot of the other characters in making interesting scenes (I'm kind of amazed I hated him at first): Scott, Lydia, Derek, his dad, the coach and he had funny scenes with Erica and Boyd this week. And Lydia is seeing Peter now? Jackson has super strength now? So he didn't take to the change but got some other side effect of it? Interesting. He's blaming Lydia though for the change not happening but I wonder if he'll be happy to not have to have the Werewolf stuff but some of the perks. I'm wondering just how over the place the Werewolf bite is. It's not taking to Jackson and Lydia is having her own side effects from it. So if you're not turned, something entirely different could end up happening from it. I know the creators said they'd probably explore other Weres so I'm wondering if it's just the Were bite in general that is kind of all over the place with offshoots (Werewolves. Werebears, Werepanthers, etc.) or if it's specific to each bite. Wondering if the reptile creature is a 'Were'. Also, hate Allison's mom. The woman just rubs me the wrong way =\ |

Word out of Comic-Con is S3 is confirmed and it's bumped from the 10-12 episode format to 24. So good...
Really despise Jackson. Such an ass hat/dick head of a character with the way he treats everyone. His story is interesting though. He's being controlled by the teacher most likely and he was going to become a Werewolf but because of some past, unresolved things (his parents' murder so to speak), it's delayed and he's gone Kanima. So if they can sort things out with Jackson, it sounds like it's still possible for him to become a Werewolf. Pretty awesome throwdown between him and Scott in the locker room too.
Erica seems to be getting a lot of screen time compared to the rest of Derek's pack. Hitting on and hanging out mostly with Scott & Stiles. Wouldn't be mad if Erica and Stiles had something before Stiles actually gets a chance at Lydia. Erica is likable to say the least.
So the boy that Lydia has been seeing is a young Peter. If I understand correctly, Lydia is Peter's 'back up plan' of sorts? He can come back, with her help, since they showed us his body at the end of the last episode. So Derek killed him and became an Alpha but Peter had some foresight to plan ahead and 'plant' something when he turned Lydia so if he does come back, does Derek lose his power as an Alpha?
Really hating Allison's mom and her grandfather. Just horrible people with it out for Scott. Something is seriously wrong with her grandfather though if he's just going to stand up to the Kanima and may have fast tracked something to get some outside help in his war against Werewolves after his daughter was killed.

About the 24 episode format, they're going to keep the 12 episode 'arcs' so we'll get 2 arcs per season now: Don't worry about filler episodes. ‪#teenwolfseason3‬ will follow same structure. 12 episode story arcs. JeffDavis |

I've just watching this and Stiles is flawless. Only one I really care about. I'm about 3 episodes in and a couple of the other characters are growing on me (Derek & other LaCrosse guy who is not Scott).

The show just gets better as it goes along and stays really consistent. Stiles I didn't like at first but he's one of my faves right now. Jackson is actually the only one I don't like out of the main cast. Everyone else (Scott, Stiles, Allison, Lydia, Derek and even the new 3 they added this season) I'm perfectly fine with and enjoy the story bits they get.
Other LaCrosse guy's name is Danny. He pops up every now and then and is a nice character.

No, I think I was talking about Jackson as other LaCrosse guy. I couldn't think of his name. I'm liking him so far. I don't care much about Scott or Allison. I don't hate them but I don't love them either. I'm waiting to see if that will change. Also, it annoys me how they sort of instantly got together (thought it was much better than SE). I think I like angst.  I CANNOT STAND Lydia. Loathe her. |

I think I like angst. I CANNOT STAND Lydia. Loathe her. Ah, Jackson becomes this huge dick as the show goes on. There is maybe 2-3 moments/scenes when I eased up to him and thought he was coming around but then he falls so hard back to being a jack clown that you forget those moments. I don't like the 'instantly in love' couple thing either (hated it in TVD and wish there was more buildup) but I'd say Scott & Allison are handled better as the show goes on in being 'stable' and dealing with their problems. So aside from them getting together 'like that', I think the continuation of the relationship shines compared to TVD's SE, in such a shorter span too. Lydia is one of those ones who starts off kind annoying (popular and such who sees herself on another level at times) but she kind of grows on you later on. Stiles has a thing for her and I think that helped (some of his scenes with her) helped me warm up to her and now enjoy her on her own. |

Ah, well I guess I'll see if my feelings change on Jackson and Lydia. Though right now with Stiles all I can think is you can do much better than Lydia.
I already think that Scott and Allison are handled better than SE so apart from them getting together from basically the first episode I don't mind it too much. I used to think that I wanted a couple to get together right away for a change but then there was SE that bored me to tears and not Scott/Allison which is also kinda boring to me. I have learned that I really need angst.

I don't like the 'love at first sight' thing in shows/books. It's always someone new in town and they instantly hook up. I want more to it than that. I want to see them actually work towards being 'official' and I guess I want to see an actual 'pursuit'.
As for Lydia, she's smarter than she plays herself to be to everyone else. Stiles has had a thing for her for the longest and he really does try and support her in the harder times she faces going forward and although I'd like to see them hook up and share some more time together, I'd also like to see the same with Stiles and Erica if they pursue that. But I think they just make passing moments between Stiles and others (Derek buddy scenes for instance) but other than that, the relationship stuff seems mainly focused on Scott & Allison.

Ok, if you're playing catch up pixie, avoid the below as it pertains to the most recent episode: Ok, so we learned a little bit more about Scott's boss. He's a sort of 'Advisor', as Derek's sister put it and he was advising her before Peter killed her and has done so for Derek's family for some time. He also seems to have a long history with Gerard and the Argents. He's helping Derek because of a promise he made to Derek's mother. I love/hate how they keep giving us bits and pieces about this guy and it's always interesting when we do get something new Derek however, is still an Alpha so that's good to hear that he didn't lose that back to Peter. I'm kind of confused on Matt and the whole Kanima thing. I understand that he formed a bond with Jackson but since he was breaking the rules, he was starting to become one as well (without the Were bite). Derek explained this as 'balance': the Kanima kills murders and Matt himself isn't using it for that purpose. The people Matt was targeting may have done some bad things to him but they didn't murder anyone so he was abusing the power and was becoming one himself. But does this mean that Matt formed a 'branched' bond on Jackson? Gerard was the actual master the whole time but because of the bond formed with Matt, Jackson's attention was diverted towards him instead of Gerard having complete control (and giving Jackson the fear of water at that)? We know Gerard plays dirty so it would seem kind of up his alley to try and enlist another supe to help fight Werewolves. But on that note, Peter was sticking to the shadows and he saw the whole thing between Gerard, Matt and Jackson. I'm wondering now though that since he's back in the picture, if he'll continue wanting to build his own pack and if it comes down to a fight with the Kanima, if he'll put aside any issues he has with Jackson and Scott to enlist their help. Scott has the potential to be an Alpha but Derek & Peter are Alphas so the 3 of them working together would probably be a better bet as 2 of them (Derek & Scott) hasn't worked out too well so far against Jackson. But that may all be slowed as Derek overheard Scott and Gerard talking and now he knows that Scott has been passing on info to the Argents. It's going to suck hearing that one go over cause him and Derek were getting things together and he seems to have a passable relationship with the rest of Derek's pack too. I do like how they played with the family element here again. Dropping Stiles' dad and Scott's mom in the middle of all this. I love the way they actually have parents in this show compared to TVD (TVD just kills them all off). Stiles' dad is handcuffed and Scott's mom is locked in a cell and they know that Matt is there with a gun and then they hear all this gunfire and you can see how concerned they are throughout the whole situation. Stiles' dad frees himself but is then knocked out (Stiles still under the effect of the Kanima venom can only watch from afar as his dad is at Matt's mercy) and Scott's mom is pleading the whole time that Scott needs help for the gunshot wound and in the end, she finally finds out that he's a Werewolf and is taken aback by it. I really want to see how that conversation goes over. I may have to rewatch this episode again though. Think there are 3 more episodes left  |

Yeah, I'm still playing catch up. I'm up to episode 8 in S1. I'll catch up and then S2 will be over. |

So I've finished S1 and have watched the first two episodes of S2. Scott - Is really stupid. And he's got this, I don't know, attitude about him that grates on me. I can't quite put my finger on it. He's alright, but I can't say I really like him. Allison - I really like her and I like how she's becoming bad ass. Stiles - Remains my favourite character. I just love him. Lydia - I still don't like her but I'm not seeing brief snatches of what could be a really likeable character Jackson - I see what you mean about him, Slash (or are you Zaku now? ) There are moments that I like him and then he's a complete and utter ass. Mostly I just feel sorry for him. Derek - I like him, but I'm not sure how I feel about him creating more werewolves. I don't know enough about Issac yet or the other new guy with the camera. And I'll also say that Allison's mom is kinda scary. Her grandfather too. |

Scott has this nice characteristic about him where he cares and seems to think everything is his responsibility now that he has the power. It's a double-edge sword for me: sometimes I like that he steps up to the plate and other times I wish he'd drop that aspect and leave things to run their course without him interjecting himself. I do like Allison's development as she's dropped into all this cause she's caught in the middle between her BF and her family legacy. It's really tough for her to handle cause she loves both. Stiles grew on me even more this season and not for his comic relief but for his relationship with his dad that you get to see throughout the season. Lydia still has this sort of 'roadblock' to being full blown likable. I think it's her 'popular' aspect/mannerisms that may need to be reeled in a bit before she really shines and I also think she needs to really start melding with the group on all the Werewolf stuff instead of everyone keeping it from her. Slash, Zaku, SlashZaku, Shamboozle the Woozle. Doesn't matter. Jackson's lows as a character are just so low, they undo any good he has and I just can't feel sorry for him. That's just how much of an 'ugly' character he is to me and they constantly drive that point home with the way he acts and the decisions he makes. Derek really shines when he's not against Scott. There is just something off about him when he's at odds with Scott but when they're working together and you see him with Scott and Stiles, it feels 'right' and they just play so well off of each other in that regard. It also passes down to the rest of his pack: working together and being 'friends', the whole lot of them (Derek, Scott, Stiles, Erica, Issac, Boyd) are just a great little gang. The few moments/scenes you get that do give a little more about the other pack members (Issac and Erica) really make them likable to me and I kind of want more of that or to see them in more scenes in general regularly. The 'camera guy', Matt, is just random up to a point. You'll see. Allison's mom does scare me. Anything regarding Allison and Scott really just brings this evil look about her where you should be scared and you are Her grandfather Gerard is a manipulative ass. Don't like him at all and am still wondering what his game is. |

I'm almost totally caught up. I just need to watch ep 11, which I'm going to try to do later tonight. I just realized that I made a typo when I was taking about Lydia; I meant to say that I DID see some flashes of what made Lydia likeable. But I still need to see more. I agree with what you said about Scott, it's part of what drives me nuts about him. Why is he responsible for everyone??? Of the new pack, I only like Boyd. Allison's mom is still terrifying (but dead now). I'm very curious as to what was in that letter. After all, she was trying to kill Scott and Derek was only trying to protect him. Actually, for a while there I thought she might be controlling the kanima. I also thought it was Allison's grandpa, which now I guess it is. BTW, Price Peterson is doing photo recaps for the show and this made me laugh:  Allison's grandpa is also scary. There has to be some importance with the pills. As for Peter, I don't know what he's going to do now that Gerard has the kanima. Like Scott's boss said, Derek and Scott don't trust each other and it's worse now since Derek knows that Scott betrayed him (though he doesn't know that Gerard threatened his mother). I'm more interested in Scott's boss (does he have a name??) and his role as an Advisor. Also, who exactly is Kendra (the guidance school counselor whose name I don't know but I will call her by her Buffy name) and what is her relation to Scott's boss? Did she deliberately miss-translate the text for Allison? I still love Stiles and his relationship with his father. Actually I also like Scott's relationship with his mom. I wonder what will happen with his mom knowing about him being a werewolf. |
