Teen Wolf ep 3x10
I don't get this show. I have questions! You, like Radio Shack, have answers.
1) Stiles said the Hale fire was 10 years ago. Peter said he hadn't seen Cora in 6 years. When was it, really?
2) How did Cora survive? How did she not know that Derek and Laura survived?
3) Are they going for Stiles/Cora? I'm pretty happy about that, I must say.
4) Are we really just forgetting about the fact that Peter killed Laura? I mean, except for occasionally mentioning it now and then, as if it's just something really annoying and not something with consequences?
5) So Paige was before Kate, is this correct? Are they ever actually gonna talk about Derek/Kate?
6) Stiles mentioned Kate, actually! When he said that Derek had dated two crazy ladies! But when did Stiles find out about Derek/Kate? I don't remember that being public knowledge, or is it just Stiles who has that tidbit? Don't remember.
7) Speaking of Stiles/Cora, what are they even trying to do with Allison/Isaac?
8) What even is Allison's hair?
9) Why is Chris Argent on the side of good? I mean, I know he was trying to track down the bad guys and Allison thought he was the bad guy and then he wasn't, but I don't get why he's suddenly palling around with Isaac now. I don't know; it just seems kind of unexplained. There was the bit about how Ducaulion bit his uncle, but that also seemed completely unconnected?
10) Speaking of unconnected! All the wolves went crazy at the motel because Finstock had wolfsbane in his whistle . . . so it was just a coincidence that so many people had committed suicide at the same motel? I don't get this. Explain.
11) How do you pronounce Kali?
12) Which twin is Aiden and which is Ethan?
13) Are they ever going to deal with the twins' identity issues? Because one of them having another body growing out of them in that motel ep seemed to suggest they might actually deal with the problematic nature of the twins being one wolf, but I think they'll probably just drop it.
14) Speaking of which, are the twins played by the same guy? I would usually just assume they were played by twins, except The Social Network makes me always doubt twins now.
15) How is it okay that with our regular new characters, we've added like four white guys and one mixed-race female?
16) How is it okay that of the three new character from last season, we've killed off the girl and the African American dude, and kept the white guy?
17) Is it just me or are Isaac and Stiles better written than almost everyone else? And is this better acting, or does it have to do with the idea that the writers are better at funny sidekicks than main characters? Or what?
18) What are our feelings toward Derek supposed to be? Really? Are we supposed to like him? Feel sorry for him? Be intrigued by his mystique? I'm really curious as to what they're going for, here.
19) Does it bother anyone else that Lydia is "the wailing woman"? Because I'm totally cool with her having supernatural abilities, and with her being something that hasn't been explained yet. But the banshee has these cultural connotations that are totally not cool with me, especially considering how this show fails vis-a-vis the ladies.
20) Where is Lydia, anyway? What happened after Jennifer tied her up? Does the show not care? Really? Because Lydia is one of the few people I care about here, come on.
21) Why did Ducaulion's glasses crack when he said he was super evil? Was that really just for comedic value? So confused as to the point of this character.
22) Why is a show so focussed on Celtic myth making this weird jump into Norse myth, and when are we gonna get some non-western myth up in here? Do non-western cultures even exist in this world?
23) Is anyone else sort of happy Sheriff Stalinski and Melissa McCall are prisoners together? ...I'm not the only one who ships them.
24) Speaking of shipping, what were our feelings toward Jennifer supposed to be, really? I still can't figure out whether we were supposed to care about Jennifer/Derek at all, or whether we're supposed to care now. I mean, her backstory is sort of interesting, but I'm a lot more interested in Jennifer/Kali right now than anything else. Anyone? Jennifer/Kali?
25) Is Stiles going to become an emissary?
26) Does anyone else just think of DS9 whenever they say "emissary"?
27) Speaking of emissaries, where's Deaton?
28) And seriously, how, in what universe, is killing Boyd, the only non-magical-Black-man in this fictional universe, okay?
29) And where's Miss Morrel? (I just looked up that actress and omg, she's Kendra! I didn't recognize her at all!)
30) And I'm really confused about the girl who saves Isaac in the very first episode. Did we ever find out who she is? Ducaulion kills her, right? Are we ever going to find out?
31) Why am I watching this show? Why why why?
32) How is Stiles so lovely and perfect and all the things I want, when this character and this actor are none of the things I'm usually interested in? How how how? He is so perfect I could just watch him all day, and it's not my usual thing; I swear it isn't.
eta 33) And another thing! Why did Derek kick Isaac out? At first I thought it was because he was worried about betas being near him, because Ducaulion wanted him to kill his betas, but it never really got explained? And makes Derek look like even more of a douche? And Derek totally is a douche, but seriously, do they want us to like him at all?

Neither, because it's all made up and serial fiction is to contradiction as an Escher painting is to stairs ;)

Whatever they feel like at the time?
(I'm being facetious and I know these are rhetorical questions, but I'm just saying, assuming that this show has any kind of plan is the road to madness ;))
