Micah and I thought we had toughened up after the Red Wedding but Jeff Davis is a master manipulator and last night’s episode of Teen Wolf titled “Currents” has left the Demon Wolfcast in an extremely somber mood. We breakdown the episode including that devastating death, Mama McCall’s awesomeness and wonder about whether the narrative is serving the characters well. Also, I share a few of the highlights from Teen Wolf Revelations and wonder about what the Comic-Con might have in store for us. Dig in!
*stares blankly at the carnage* I don’t…I can’t even begin to think of how to address this episode of Teen Wolf. Like I thought I was done with soul crushing deaths on TV but nope Jeff Davis said he could bring me back to that horrible place. Let’s just dive into the recap.
Despite the million and one cancellations, the 2012-2013 TV season was pretty spectacular. Next week are the Emmy nominations and you’ll be able to see my fake Emmy ballot next week, but I thought we were due for a bit more introspection regarding the TV season. So now, without further ado, here are the top 10 moments from the past year in TV!
We have reached the halfway point of the 1st 12 episodes of this 3rd season of Teen Wolf and my word did they mollywhop us with “Motel California.” Micah and I are back to recap one of the best hours of Teen Wolf ever, breaking down the highs and lows of what happens when our beloved characters head to a creepy motel and Derek finds love lust in a hopeless place. We also chat about some fun fan theories and take stock of where the season has gone so far. Be sure to listen the whole way through, there’s a surprise at the end. Dig in!
Never, in all of the history of Teen Wolf, has an episode been so hyped as “Motel California.” We were told it would be dark, make us cry and scream, and is the first episode in 3 seasons to receive a Viewers Discretion tag at the front of it. And man did it live up to the creepiness. Tonight’s episode showed what happens when people stop being polite and start experiencing really creepy shit.
I am assuming, by now at least, you all have attempted to read the lengthy article written at the Daily Dot about why slashtivism, particularly Sterek slash shipping, is hurting Teen Wolf fans. It’s a ballsy piece stating the definitions of slash, how Teen Wolf fits in, and why the author thinks it’s problematic for the Sterek shippers to take over a show. After making my way through this article, some thoughts formulated in my mind so here they are.
