I liked the opening of this episode. All moody and blue, with that music and Scott's narration (which was actually him talking to his beautiful and supportive best bro Theo?). Nice. I also liked how Parrish got that new name tag, after probably losing his old one during his latest naked walk through the forest to burn up monsters. How many name tags has he lost by now? Does he do a naked forest walk for each individual dead monster? Because I seem to recall a scene with Parrish and a lot of dead monsters around the Nemeton. Maybe that was just Lydia's vision or Parrish's dream—I don't remember. Anyway, that's a lot of new name tags (and uniforms!) if we assume Parrish gets a new one for each monster he burns up with his hot body. Personally, I'm charmed by the idea of Parrish getting a present from Sheriff Stilinski every time he walks nakedly through the forest with flames licking his chiseled muscles. Now, I can't claim to be an expert on proper etiquette in these situations. I have had only one or maybe two dozen personal experiences with fiery hunks in secluded areas. But I will tell you this: I am inspired by Sheriff Stilinski's example. From now on, I'll make sure that any hunk who uses his natural hotness to burn off his clothing in front of me receives a small memento to mark the occasion. Something practical, like a gallon of body oil or a 64 GB iPod Nano, filled to capacity with the first half of my personal list of lifestyle tips for hunks (narrated by me).
Did you see the way that Theo—that scintillating picture of youthful vigor who is cherished by all sensible people—shouted at the Dread Doctors? I'm not one to gloat, but allow me to gloat: I called it! Theo really does want a pack! He's not just gorgeous and trustworthy and dependable, he's honest too. I hate to point out the obvious here, OK, but if the definition of heroism is standing up to bad guys, then Theo is a true hero. In fact, it's no stretch to suggest that Theo is a gleaming pillar of moral and physical perfection. I probably don't even have to mention how he encouraged Scott to help Mason's kinda-boyfriend Corey when he barfed all that silver. What a lovely friend and an invaluable asset to Scott's pack. He even constructed that comforting scenario about how Stiles killed Donovan by crushing his skull with a wrench, just to protect Scott from the tragic details of what really happened. And he totally covered for Stiles when his dad started asking inconvenient questions. That poor hunk was about to cry! All of you judgmental jerks who said cruel and untrue things about Theo should be deeply ashamed of yourselves. If you have any self-respect at all, look at Theo's stubble, the contour of his jaw, his pillowy lips and bright eyes, and realize the error of your ways.
"What's UV going to show us?" Parrish asks. You precious thing. Besides the dense halo of luminous residue several blocks in diameter, centered on my residence? Nothing you need to trouble your hunky head about, boo.
Liam's role as worried werewolf son and angsty werewolf teen developed an adorable new dimension in this episode: concerned werewolf boyfriend. That's right, everyone. If last episode's super helpful hashtag #Layden didn't make their relationship official, now it's definitely a thing. Good luck you crazy kids. I see why Liam was surprised by Hayden's silver nosebleed, but he forgot something. She had just finished kissing on a hunklet, so her reaction was perfectly natural.
Eww, that girl totally chewed off her entire fingernail. No thank you. It was kind of rude of that Dread Doctor to break her neck in front of Malia a short time later, but truthfully she got what she deserved for taking her habit to such an icky extreme.
I don't know about you guys, but when I imagine myself helping Parrish remember something by sparring with him in a forest until he takes my hands in his hands and then notices a supernatural tree stump with a large quantity of charred bodies piled around it, my pants start steaming.
Man, that Dread Doctor did Corey dirty. I have to admit it was cool, the way he stabbed that poor invisible gay boy with his sword cane, but it was also pretty mean. IMO you should never stab people unless you have a good reason, or you really want to.
I would be Theo's lawyer. No really, it would be my pleasure to put myself through Harvard Law School at my own expense if it meant I'd get to sit in a room with Theo looking right at me, like directly into my eyes, while I give him legal counsel about some people he might have had to murder or whatever.
I agree with Parrish: he is a very good deputy. I still can't shake my deep conviction that he'd do his job much better without that uniform covering up his best assets, though.
I don't want to offend anyone, but I'm against evil doctors entering bisexual nightclubs unless they are hunks. However, I'll make an exception for the Dread Doctors, because their fight with Scott, Liam, and Theo (!) was damned cool. Those guys can throw down. Maybe I was just caught up in the moment, but I think that might have been one of Teen Wolf's least cheesy fight scenes. I was genuinely into it.
I think I can finally say that the Dread Doctors are effective villains now. Everything they're about is starting to work for me. They bring mayhem to Beacon Hills with their test subjects on the loose, and a general sense of menace with how they seem able to show up anywhere, accompanied by those snazzy electromagnetic anomalies. More than that, I love how they're a direct physical threat. They're very hands-on, and they're tough. They don't shy away from direct confrontations. Their costume design and creepy aura and sheer physicality give them a more charismatic presence than you'd expect from stoic masked figures. These guys are so much cooler than the berserkers of Season 4. And they're way more menacing than Kate Argent was, as much as I liked her scrappiness and sass.
Theo is a good driver. I would love to fall asleep in his car while he's driving through the rain.
I have a separate but related fantasy about getting Theo out of the car long enough to soak his t-shirt completely. What happens next is too saucy to put into writing.
I'm not sure how I feel about Parrish behind bars. On one hand, it's nice to know exactly where to find him so you won't miss out if he decides he needs to be shirtless. On the other hand, hunks deserve to be free.
I've just about had it with Scott and Stiles' terrible communication. Maybe the Dread Doctors should have slapped Scott around some more, because so far they've failed to knock any sense into him at all. How hard is it to sit down with your best friend and have a conversation?
I thought it was kind of cold for Scott not to turn Hayden into werewolf. Liam is going to be pissed. That said, while it may be indelicate to point this out, the simple fact is that Hayden is not a hunk, so her prospects for shirtless werewolf scenes are pretty much nil. At the end of the day, that was probably the deciding factor in Scott's difficult choice.
Teen Wolf tonight bitches!
Hnnnnnnng, Jackson. I miss Jackson.
Look at Jackson's face. He has such a great face.
Ever since Colton left, to me the series kinda went south. I watched it on and off, missed most of Season 4 because I found it unbearable, but I have to say Season 5 is really good.
Pacing is great, and the writing is much better. Sad to see that it gets low ratings, but with dvr and vod, it's kinda hard to gauge interest now.
The show picked up in a big way in Season 3B. And I agree, Season 5 is blowing Season 4 out of the water.
cannot wait for theo to die
You must not be aware that Theo is actually the hero of this story.
