I like everyone in the new pack but as of late (the past 2 episodes), Issac has really been standing out for me. Helping Derek keep the others from breaking out and then in tonight's episode after saying he was going with the others, he stuck around to help Scott. He's got no one and Scott has shown an interest in watching out for him so I can see this making them friends (there are just too many trust issues with him and Derek but as far as Werewolves go, I can see Scott seeing him as a friend and not a charge). I'm not sure though what's going on with Erica & Boyd at this point. They made a mistake in wanting to leave but at the same time, I'm guessing they're hooking up? Big kudos to Boyd though for coming back to protect Erica (would have been better if he wouldn't have run off in the first place but Erica told him to go so...eh).
On that note though, Allison is on a downward spiral. I do like that she has this edge to her now after her Mother has died but she's being reckless and working solely on emotion on top of being manipulated by Gerard who we find out is offering her to Scott if Scott helps kill/turn over Derek? Her father doesn't like the path she's going down either. We find out what Gerard is up to though. He's only in it for the vengeance and when he found out about the Kanima, he saw it as the perfect weapon for what he needed done. That's why he wanted Scott to give him info so he could find out who was controlling it and take that control for himself. He's off the rails though and I can't help but feel for Chris (Allison's dad) because his family at this point is just a mess. His sister died (he knew she was off the rails too and wasn't following their code), his father is using his daughter and is also off the rails, his daughter is spiraling in vengeance and isn't following their code and he just lost his wife too. I think Allison finding out what exactly happened to her Mother (trying to kill Scott on her behalf and Derek was only protecting him) will get her off this path.
I'll have to look up Scott's boss' name cause I want to know it too. I really want to know what group he belongs to, along with the Counselor. I'm guessing she may either be family (distant relative) or just nothing more than a close associate for whatever group they represent (she's also Emily in TVD). And yes, I think she tried to misdirect the group or test them. She asked Scott's boss if he was going to tell them about what was 'coming' so I think her misleading them with the Kanima text was her testing them herself.
Peter is just an awesome character. He's not at his full strength still but knowing that the Argents have the Kanima on their side, he knows that him and Derek are going to have to put things in the past and that they both need a pack (2 of his walked and are captured), specifically Peter to heal better and get back in top shape and because Derek is the last of his family and he says he wants to help (but Scott's boss warned against Peter so I wonder what Peter's other plans are. Just get rid of the Kanima and the Argent's trump card first?).
Jackson is a hard read. He's been the robotic puppet the past few episodes but tonight, he warned Danny to stay away and in the end, he ended up putting himself down to keep from hurting anyone else at the game. He must be fighting for control now or maybe this goes back to what Peter & Derek were talking about Lydia. Gerard did mention her as a target to Scott so maybe he decided on her (he may know about how to break the Kanima's curse/bond so maybe that's why he wanted to kill her off now; I'm guessing they'll have to find out his birth given name by his real parents also) and Jackson fought that for the time being or he just genuinely put his usual attitude aside for a change and really didn't want to hurt anyone else. We'll see how this goes.
Something interesting though: Gerard has been taking pills since he showed up (they always seem to make it obvious and in the past 2 episodes, they've focused on his little pill container). Do you think he's in bad health and wants to abuse the Kanima power like Matt did so he can trigger the change and overwrite whatever is wrong with his health (the healing factor from turning)? It'd also allow him to be able to go toe-to-toe on his own with Werewolves and even be better than them.
I really do enjoy the parent relationships in this show (hate to compare to TVD but they've done nothing on this front). Stiles & his dad, Scott & his mom, Allison & her dad, and even Jackson has a longing to know who his real parents were. The scenes are just handled so well. Stiles is still down about his relationship with his dad though and I'm sad about that. He's also feeling the weight of things cause he had to watch his father get knocked out at the police station and couldn't do anything. I think he may want to turn or he may even talk to Scott's boss and ask if there is something he can do to help out more like what he did with the powder earlier. Scott's mom came around too. She knows about things now, not the finer details, but she knows something is going on and after avoiding Scott earlier on, she seems to have come to terms with the fact that avoiding isn't helping.
This show is awesome though and it surprised me after the 1st season cause I don't watch MTV and was actually going to pass on this cause it was on that channel.

I’ve been iffy about Issac and Erica. The only one I really liked was Boyd. But, like you said, Issac really stood out these past two episodes. Come to think of it, even Scott has been better for me lately. That said, I’m not sure that Erica and Boyd are a couple. Apparently the veterinarian’s name is Dr. Allen Deaton. I’m dying to know more about the role of the Advisors and why they seemingly are against the Hunters. As for the Counselor didn’t recognize her as TVD’s Emily, though I though she looked familiar when I saw her on TVD. Maybe it was the clothes that threw me off. I have a feeling that whatever is coming, it’s foreshadowing for next season. Also, why are the Advisors and Hunters at odds? I’m not sure about your theory about Gerard. I’ve been wondering about the Kanima and how exactly he ‘s using it. He’s threatened Scott’s mom, Stiles, Stiles’ dad and Lydia. They had nothing to do with Kate’s death and Derek made it clear that the Kanima cannot be used against the innocent. Which means that he’s been bluffing about hurting them but it would also mean that he would have to kill someone in order to trigger the change. On the other hand, he seems to have a pretty strong hatred for all things monster so would he really want to turn into one? Plus, the Kanima is a puppet and I don’t see Gerard being a puppet; he’s a puppet master. Of course, maybe it’s different when you become a Kanima because you broke the rules. I’m kinda rambling now. The pills and the pill box HAVE to factor into this. Allison was completely unlikable in the last episode, though I understand why. She’s emotional, and she’s being manipulated by Gerard and her mother. I’m convinced that Gerard and Allison’s mom wrote that letter together for the sole purpose of getting her on their side. She’s acting almost Kate-like. I’m sure she can get back on the right track, but it might take some time. Chris was awesome shooting the bow out of her hand. I didn’t like Chris at first but now I really do. Whatever Gerard is planning, I think that Chris might side against him. Come to think of it, the Argent’s are kinda like a TVD family - aunt dead, mother dead, evil grandpa. Jackson is clearly fighting for control. I feel really sorry for him now (I always did). I wonder if he could turn on Gerard and kill him to break the link. Stiles. STILES WHERE IS HE? Nothing had better happen to him. I could see him becoming an Advisor, like the vet. The vet was very specific about him being the one to pour the ash and when he didn’t have enough, he was able to make it work somehow. That has to be important. Maybe it was a test? Despite his poor attention span, he is very intelligent. Can’t wait for the next episode. The first season was good but S2 has been fantastic.

Gramps has cancer, I think, because of the mention by the vet about them being able to smell it on the dog they brought in. That was pretty random so it had to mean something.
I'm not really liking Allison's sudden hatred and need for revenge. It seems like too much of a change for her character to me so I hope she gets over it and quick.

I'm wondering about the Advisors. They're in the know about stuff but I'm wondering if them and Hunters may have originally been the same but the Advisors may have been a more 'hands-off' group and thought there was some use in the supernaturals and have kind of been 'middle-ground'. Hunters instead thought more of hunting the supernaturals down, although with a code that's falling apart it seems with the Argents (Chris is still trying to uphold it and thinks that they should be killing supernaturals just because). Advisors aren't supernaturals themselves but maybe have a little know how of magic and just being overall knowledgeable. In other words, Watchers.
Gerard simply wants revenge for Kate. He doesn't seem to care about hurting others, as long as he gets at Derek. If he does have cancer, then his time may be short and he just doesn't care about the loss of life in his rampage. I'm wondering just how ironclad that innocent rule is. Matt used the Kanima to murder a bunch of cops at the police station. None of the people that Matt had killed were actually murderers either. They didn't kill him but he was just pissed that he almost drowned. So maybe it's not so much that he was killing people that the Kanima couldn't but maybe that he was using the Kanima to kill non-murderers.
I don't see Allison's mother as manipulating her. She just didn't want to see Allison get into whatever she was getting into with Scott. These people have grown up with this perception of supernaturals so they don't want to mingle with them any more than they have to and that seems to usually pump them for info or help to getting to others (Dr. Deaton doesn't care much for the company of the Argents and they only come to him to pump him for info). I know her mom is dead but why isn't she mad at her family? Derek was simply defending Scott from her mom killing him and she didn't have to die. She was turning but HELLO! Look at Scott. He's a perfectly strong case that her mother could have lived with the change. Given how her mother was, I'm sure she may have even been Alpha material. That's kind of what bothers me about the whole situation.
I can see Stiles transitioning into that role. He's down about not being able to help/do much and he's seen what he can do if he believes so I think he'll take up the training if possible. He's done a lot of digging for Scott on getting info and he's pretty smart so it seems like a natural fit for him.
Something that just dawned on me while typing this post, since Derek has been Alpha, why hasn't he gone full Werewolf like Peter did when he first showed up, to fight the Kanima?

Should have probably made this post the night of but I'm going to try and go off the top of my head.
So Jackson didn't stop himself, but rather, Gerard was trying to get him to transition to another form...with wings. Scott & Co. have a plan to stop him which relies on Lydia and to help in all this, Chris Argent shows up. He doesn't like the road Allison is going down and he knows his father is just clashing too much with his own ideals and the rules they follow. And we find out what the end-game was for Gerard. He was dying (as Doppel pointed out, there was a reason to the scene at the Vet with the Doctor, Issac and Scott) and was looking for an Alpha to turn him: Derek. This just struck me as sickening. He had Chris kill his wife, Allison's mother, because she had turned but his goal in all of this was to turn himself. That had to be a blow to Chris.
So Scott knew ahead of time what might be the goal and switched Gerard's pills (the powder that wards supes that Stiles had used around the club I think). So Gerard's change doesn't take and while he has Jackson kill them all, he crawls off. The Doctor & Counselor though seem to now be taking a hands on approach and seem to be tracking Gerard now.
Lydia comes through (with Stiles, who is just really strung out on all this) and helps Jackson finally, with the guy he gave her. Somehow, he's now freed of the Kanima curse and is a Werewolf. I honestly thought Peter was up to no good when he was hanging back but I remembered he wasn't up to his full strength and was waiting for the right moment (with Derek) to get the job done. Was nice seeing Issac fighting alongside Derek & Scott. I'm glad in general though that Peter is sticking around. Such an awesome character and with a pack of Alphas now in town, something is going to have to be done to improve the group's chances. They can probably expect a bit of help from the Argents but I didn't count how many Alphas showed up in the one scene we got.
Wondering what exactly they're doing with Boyd & Erica. They are constantly in trouble now.
I'm missing another big piece but I can't put my finger on it...oh, Peter also has a 'Bestiary'. So that should come in handy for the group in the future. Thinking about it, the fact that families have to have these just sounds like there is a lot of supernatural stuff/lore to dig through should they need it.
Anywho, now the wait for S3 begins. Pack of Alphas, Gerard is still out there with the 'Advisors' after him now, Allison and Scott have broken up (and Chris seems to have come around a bit more to Scott), I expect Jackson & Lydia to have a more meaningful relationship now, I expect a bigger friendship between Scott & Issac, Scott's mom is now in the know and Peter is sticking around.
A pack of Alphas is interesting in itself. Packs work on an order so I wonder just how they work on making decisions. But the power between them by being in a pack must be simply amazing (Werewolves get stronger through being in a pack so if all those members are Alphas...wow).

Gonna add this other post from Zap2It about what to expect with S3: 1. Jackson's eyes are blue for a reason. When he changed into a werewolf, his eyes didn't turn yellow, like most wolves' do. They were a bright piercing blue for a very specific reason, and it's not just because Colton Haynes' eyes are so pretty that the special effects team couldn't bring themselves to change them. By the way -- that special effects team had plenty of other work to do on Jackson's incredibly moving and incredibly naked transformation scene. "There were emails back-and-forth saying, 'Too much side-butt,'" Davis laughs. "The effects team was like 'How much smoke do you want?' and I said, 'I want just enough smoke so that I don't see the crack of his a**.'" 2. Boyd (Sinqua Walls) and Erica (Gage Golightly) are alive when Season 3 begins -- but for how long? "The alphas are definitely going to factor in," Davis says. "What happens to Erica and Boyd will be answered in the first two episodes, and it's going to be very intense. They are alive but they are definitely not out of danger." 3. Don't expect to see Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) totally get over Lydia (Holland Roden) now that she's professed her epic, Kanima-curse-breaking love for Jackson. "He might have to step back a little and be a bit more of an observer, but things move very fast in the world of 'Teen Wolf,' so we'll see," Davis tells us. Those powerful moments between Stiles and Lydia will have lasting impact. In fact, the writers had originally intended for Erica to be Stiles' new love interest, but they course-corrected in favor of more Stiles/Lydia moments this season. "We felt it out in terms of the story. We knew that we wanted the scene at the end of 11 where Stiles is on the field and Lydia is finally the one cheering for him," Davis tells us. "It felt like that was a better moment to build to than the possibility of Stiles and Erica. You start to see which actors have the best chemistry with each other, and we felt like Gage had more chemistry with other characters, including Sinqua, actually, so to see them holding hands in one of the last episodes felt more right to me." 4. Allison (Crystal Reed) is going to become a WWF wrestler! Just kidding. When Season 3 opens, Allison has isolated herself from her friends and Scott. For the first time, she's very much alone. "We've got such good ideas for next season for her, because I love telling redemption stories, so much. To me it all goes back to WWF wrestling, to be honest," explains Davis. "When the bad guys turn good and the good guys turn bad, you hate them one minute and then you love them the next, so it'll be interesting to see if she can win the audience back." 5. Dr. Deacon and Ms. Morell will be back in a big way. The veterinarian and his sexy guidance counselor sidekick are much more than meets the eye, and Davis tells us they'll be back with a vengeance "as long as those actors' deals close!" He keeps the details very vague though. "You'll get some answers about them. You'll get even more questions." 6. The Stiles and Scott (Tyler Posey) bromance has some competition. Davis actually directed the final scene of the season, where Stiles and Scott finally get to act like normal friends, tossing a lacrosse ball around. "One of the biggest romances of the show is the bromance, because they're so good together. They respect each other as friends and they're still supporting each other through all of their troubles," says Davis. But Isaac (Daniel Sharman) may threaten that friendship a bit in Season 3. "Isaac is going to be a big part of next season," he confirms. "It's fun when we have chemistry that appears between actors, and Daniel has really good chemistry with Tyler Posey, so we're going to be exploring that, and there's going to be a struggle with Scott and Stiles, to see if their friendship can remain as strong." 7. The Alpha pack is in town on a mission, and it has to do with the Kanima. if you want to get a head start on your theories, go back pay close attention to the mentions of Kanima mythology throughout Season 2. "There is a good bit of mythology that was prepared in this season that will pay off in the third season," Davis teases. "I'm not going to say what it is exactly, but people will be able to look up a lot online going into next season." The mystery of who Jackson's real parents are will be part of the Alpha pack story. 8. You'll get answers to questions that you forgot you even had. "There are certain secrets in the first season and the second season that are going to be explained in the third season," Davis says. "One of the biggest ones is the very first scene of Season 2, where Jackson comes out of the water. We're going to explain what he was doing in the water. We do a lot of planning ahead, so it's nice to do the third season and know you're going to be able to come back and explain a few things." 9. Season 3 could have been very different! Davis tells us that an alternate ending to Season 2 was shot... in which Jackson died for real. "We did shoot it both ways, and not even Colton knew. I think Colton actually thought that I had edited it so that he died! I love happy endings myself, so I wanted the ability to decide in the editing room which way I liked it," he says. Ultimately, the writers wanted the chance to see a redeemed version of Jackson. "We never even cut it to see how it played out if he died. I just loved the moment of him becoming a werewolf. It was what we'd built up to the whole season. We had the idea very early on -- actually, I had the idea in the pilot -- that there was going to be the redemption story. He cannot become a werewolf until he resolves his soul; until he earns it. The shape you take reflects the person you are, and he had to stop being a snake in order to be a wolf." 10. Scott may get a wolf promotion. When he told Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) in the season finale, "You're not my Alpha," that was some serious foreshadowing. Earlier on in the season, Derek mentioned that Scott seemed to have developed his own pack, and that's a theme that will continue into Season 3. "We are definitely building to that," says Davis. "I think Scott's ultimate destiny will be to become an Alpha in his own right. We'll see how that plays out over Season 3."

I was wondering about Jackson's eyes being blue and what that meant. I haven't really wanted to get too involved with spoilers on others shows except tvd, but that is interesting and I'm tempted to try to figure that mystery out. Hearing how these writers planned so far in advance...how refreshing is that? That's alot of alphas running around now...it should make things interesting.

Yeah, just reading about them setting a lot of this stuff up makes me want to rewatch S1 to see if there are any hints that lead into S2 stuff. Also going to go back to the episodes that mention Kanima mythology to see what I can gather. Obviously it goes back to his parents and hearing that the story is tied in with the Alphas, I'm suspecting something 'triggered' when Jackson was bitten by Derek and the pack was notified.

I'm a bit late but that finale was kind of a hot mess. How exactly did Scott switch the pills? Because how did he know what they looked like and how did he have enough? Yeah, he switched the pill container but Gerard usually took all the pills in the container at once so it means that Scott would have had to switch the actual pills in the pill bottles. And Lydia and Jackson are some kind of epic tru wuv? Because they treated each other like crap. But no we get some stupid flashback that retcons the whole thing. It's too bad because I was sort of starting to semi ship Styles and Lydia but now I'm not so sure. Styles need to move on from Lydia and scrap this 15 yr plan. I did really like Stiles in this episode but I'm not sure why he was kidnapped. Glad to see Dr. Deaton and Ms Morell at the end. I'm really excited about the possibilities there. I'm not sure how a pack of Alphas work but okay. I do wonder about Jackson and his eyes. I know I'm missing some things but I'm still excited for next season.

I agree with you on the Jackson/Lydia front. I was semi hoping Stiles would make some headway with Lydia and she'd turn out to be a very sweet girl with him, but who knows. One thing I like about TW, it isn't all about ships. I'm thinking the blue eyes might signify that he's like some super alpha or something. They are going to need some pretty good firepower to overcome this pack of alphas coming their way so maybe he'll have some special abilities. I haven't been into it enough to go back over those episodes where they talked about the Kanima to get any hints as to what it might be about.

Yeah, I really don't have any ships on Teen Wolf. Only sort of Stiles/Lydia. I don't entirely get a group of Alphas. It doesn't seem like it would work. An Alpha is a leader of a pack....so they're a group of leaders?? Unless they all have their own packs and they are some sort of Alpha council. What colour did Derek's eyes turn before he was an Alpha? Were they yellow? I'm not sure how I'd feel about Jackson being a super Alpha.

That's a funny pic. I actually like Derek alot even though he's kind of an ass. But I'd say he's the one I'd most like to know more about. He's a bit of a mystery and there's alot we don't know yet there. Yeah his eyes were yellow before he was an alpha. I'm guessing the pack of alphas is basically a group of them working together for some common goal when they normally wouldn't, so yeah, sort of a wolf council but if they are all alphas then that would be the only reason they'd be together. There wouldn't be a pack of alphas otherwise, so they have a purpose/goal in mind and they need to work together to accomplish it. We don't know yet what the reason is though but it should be fun finding out.

Well the above does talk about the Kanima being part of their visit. Derek was getting his ass whooped and he had Scott & Isaac helping him on different occasions and they did squat against him. Maybe the Alphas in the surrounding areas caught news of the Kanima attacks and left their current packs in control of their Betas so they could for the Alpha pack to give them the power boost to take on the Kanima but that's now done with.
Dr. Deacon & Ms. Morell though were talking about something coming and maybe the Kanima is the first sign/omen of what's to come and that's why the Alphas showed up. They know something bad is heading their way (maybe for Weres in general) and decided to take action. Alphas show up first and if they are just a council for the immediate threat, then if the situation calls for it, they can call in their own individual packs for more muscle.
Lydia was still in love with Jackson. It was Jackson that has been acting like a dick to everyone. He was entirely focused on getting what Scott got out of the change and he was being an ass-hat to Lydia because she had an immunity and Jackson thought his not turning was in part due to her passing it on to him from kissing/sex. I'm still kind of confused though: we're to assume the whole Kanima thing is something dealing with his parents (which would circle right back around to arrival of the Alphas cause it was kind of hinted at that Jackson may be related to Derek I think or have some memory of the fire so that would make him a descendant of a family of Werewolves like Derek at the very least?) so Lydia's love being a stepping stone he needed is kind leaving me scratching my head. As for the blue eyes, maybe some form of power boost/unique ability because of his transition from Kanima to Wolf (probably something that rarely happens).
I'm just hoping Jackson's attitude changes cause I hate him. Having Stiles lose out on Lydia when they seemed to have been building something is a crime and they deviated Erica away from Stiles as well. So he gets no girl, he feels kind of useless in the grand scheme and he's got the issues with his dad that are off and on/awkward. Then the above mentions Isaac moving in on Scott in the friend department so he has to put up with that too.

Jackson is really a dick though it seems like they could be showing a side of him that isn't after that finale. I don't think Stiles/Lydia are over with by any means. Plus if this transition from Kanima is something even worse and more of a threat, Jackson may not last much longer with everyone looking to do him in.
I haven't gone back and really studied the whole Kanima thing but I remember them mentioning something about wings? Have we seen that yet? Cause I don't remember wings yet... I'm sort of not too keen on spoilers for any show after tvd so I haven't really been looking for anything in that department.
It's interesting that he could actually be related to Derek. I hadn't thought of that and maybe there was some other strange abomination stuff in Derek's family other than werewolves which led to their extermination, basically. Derek isn't exactly forthcoming with information but he obviously knows plenty. I'm thinking maybe there's more to it.
Also, why didn't Lydia turn? That's still a mystery I'd like to know the answer to. Why was she apparently immune, or was she really?

Wings were mentioned in the finale. Gerard had Jackson 'kill' himself to transition into a 2nd form of the Kanima, which had wings. It's the scene after Peter gets his own bestiary out and they're watching an animation of it and have the funny/scared reaction to it. There is an episode in S1 I think where Derek & Jackson are talking at the old house of Derek's (the burned down one we keep going back to) and I think Jackson starts looking around like he realizes he's been there before and even Derek is curious about it. As far as Derek knows, only Peter survived while him & his sister weren't even there (at school?). So Jackson at the time would have been a 'runt' if that or maybe his mom was in the fire and he was born prematurely after that (I do think they mention this about Jackson/the whole Kanima-Master angle but I may have to do an entire rewatch prior to S3). With the bulk of Derek/Jackson's family dead in the fire, Jackson would have been put up for adoption. I do know the showrunners have said they're going to avoid Vampires but will explore 'Weres' in general. Wolves, maybe Panthers/Cats, Bears, and whatever else. They'll exhaust everything else before even touching Vamps. We've seen that the Kanima is an off-shoot/abomination due to past issues so I'm kind of interested in what they'll do with Weres now if they're doing 'reptiles' as well. I'm looking forward to getting more of the mythos/lore of this series cause so far, it's all interesting to me. And with the Kanima being branched off from Werewolves, it's not too out there that Derek's family (or any Were family) could be comprised of the various breeds. There may be a base creature for the family (Wolf, Panther, Bear) but maybe certain traits in an individual could cause these branches. Like I said, the Kanima opens up some interesting stuff about the lore/mythos entirely. Maybe Derek & Peter's Werewolf family is dead but maybe they have other relatives out there that aren't Wolves. As for Lydia not turning, it's in an earlier episode or at the very least, something that Jackson thinks is the reason he didn't turn. She may have contracted something earlier in life and after she got over it, she built up an immunity (I'm vaguely remembering). I'm thinking there is more to it though. Peter used her as a contingency for his own return. He attacked her to be a backup plan in case he was killed so she had to have something special that he picked up on that made her special. Peter was trying to build a pack earlier after assuming the role of Alpha (killing Derek's sister) and now that he's returned, he wants to help Derek get a pack going and just help his remaining family in general (once again, we're dealing with more than 1 Alpha in a 'pack') cause the Alpha pack is in town now. Derek said Jackson was an 'abomination' so if there is a 'Werewolf Council', it would make sense that they would come around and try and do away with the Kanima (it's an off shoot of them, kind of their responsibility in their eyes). Yeah, need to do a series rewatch EDIT: Forgot about the whole '2nd Form' thing. I'm guessing it's an option for Weres to be able to transition to a 2nd, more powerful form? We know Peter can go 'full' Were but we've only ever seen everyone else hit the half human/half wolf stage. Jackson going Kanima was that 'halfway' point for him but with him killing himself and not completing the transition to the 2nd phase, he never hit the next level like Peter was able to. I wonder what Peter did to be able to get that way though. Is it one of those 'unique' traits that shows up or will we see the Alpha pack do something similar?
