Re: Series that had potential, but...

I feel bad about it, but I haven't watched TW since the first half of season four. I fucking loved Stiles' arc in 3B (I can't say enough about Dylan's skills) but by the time 4 came around I felt like the show had lost all its charm. Don't think I made it over five episodes into the season...every episode was worse than the last and even the characters I loved either felt off somehow, or weren't enough to keep me interested.

There are shows that are good enough to kill characters off left and right and still be worth watching. Teen Wolf is not that for me. Once Allison was gone, it was like the last straw. I didn't like one of the new cast members in season four, and at that point I didn't care enough to stick it out to see if that would change.

Yeah, I feel the same. There is pretty much nothing left of the original linuep, and the characters that *are* left are being twisted into something pretty dull and out-of-character, if you ask me.

I still enjoy Stiles, his dad, and Lydia (and Kira, actually), but the rest just bore and irritate me, and Derek is basically gone, though they keep hinting at the very few eps he's apparently supposed to be in.

I watch the show while chatting with a friend in the UK and we mercilessly tear it/Scott to bits and share trivia and fandom stuff about the rest and have fun, which is the only way to watch, anymore.

3b was *epic*. It's too bad they'll never get back to anything like that. Mr. O'Brian was amazing.

See, Stiles is (predictably) my favorite character, but I couldn't even enjoy Stiles in season four. (And I also don't like Stiles/Malia so that was yet another thing that made my interest waver.) Sheriff Stilinski has always been one of my favorite characters (and Melissa McCall and Chris Argent!) but there wasn't enough of him.

Lydia has always been a mixed bag for me. I want to love her, but often her story-lines don't do much for me. I liked Lydia best when she was with Allison, and well...we see where that went.

Kira was adorable but again, the new characters...arg.

When I heard that Derek was out any thoughts of catching up died.

Yup, all of this. The whole story with Malia is gross. Jeff *and somebody else* has been very up front about her being the latest in a string of 'girls' to 'throw' at Stiles (so that nasty Stiles/Derek will go away), and she's a girl who has been living as a coyote for what, nine years?

Probably has the mentality of a six year old or something, and in one season she's having sex (while medicated) with Stiles in a psychiatric hospital and then she's in HS? She's staying over at Stile's house and it's all hunky-dory? It's just so revolting. I pretty much hate everything about that character and that arc, and this season, Stiles has just been totally dumbed down, and his scenes so far have been pretty much short, boring, and pointless. It's beyond sad.

I love Lydia i guess mostly because I find the actress mesmerizing and i love the *idea* of her. I just wish that, yes, her story lines/arc were better.

Same for Kira - she's awesome and adorable, but mostly she's there to cheer Scott on/turn him on. Lame.

Yeah, we're 4 eps in and no sign of him yet. At least he's escaped, i guess, but i predict this will be the last season for TW.

Who is the somebody else? I barely pay attention to Jeff so I miss so much. I have heard someone mention Jeff 'throwing' girls at Stiles but so far none of them have ever stuck so I never took them seriously. Frankly, the way Stiles/Malia started ruined any chance of me ever liking them together. The same thing happened with Stiles/Lydia... I adore Stiles, but his crush on Lydia was a bit much and he was so persistent that it turned me off to the idea of them. Clearly she had no interest in him, but he kept on.

With Malia is was just terrible, skeevy timing that felt like it went into dub-con territory and it wasn't addressed as such, which drove me crazy. The age thing (her being a coyote for so long) threw me for a loop too, but unsurprisingly TW ignored that bit.

Lydia's actress IS very good, so I can see where you're coming from. (She's also gorgeous.) She deserves better.

I have noticed some Stiles/Derek gifs on my dash from this season and I can't help but laugh. Derek is gone and Jeff has been so dismissive about the pairing and yet even when Derek isn't in Beacon Hills he's throwing in Stiles and Derek stuff so the fans will be happy.

Oh, ah ha ha. Just was talking with my friend, she said this:

She: They got the green light for S6, btw, though i'm praying to every god who's listening that Dylan escapes

Me: ..........................what? they did?
Me: holy fuck, how?
Me: the ratings are *bad*

She: yup
She: but apparently they already got the californian tax credits, which they'd have to repay if they cancelled the show. And MTV doesn't seem to be funding the show at all, it's just surviving on sponsorship and ad revenue, which explains all the product placement.

The whole 'teaching Malia to drive at night' pointless scene was pure product placement, as it every time they wave their phones around so we can see the AT&T logo.
also, there's a rumour circulating that the actress playing Malia was supposed to get a reality show about how she used to be a pageant queen, but it fell through. She'd already got a contract with Viacom tho, so they just shoved her into TW and her people negotiated that she get to hook up with the most popular character. Which is Stiles, of course, not Scott. Which prolly pissed Posey right off.

She: It was WolfsBane 3 (British TW con) this weekend. Posey offended fans by being a douche, refusing to add fans names to autographs, and just being rude. Colton Haynes (Jackson) was there, and being a delightful troll, as usual, showing his love of Sterek.

Eaddy (Victoria Argent, Allison's mom) continued to stan for Jeff, saying how absolutely nothing that happened is Jeff's fault, and we should support him and love him because he's awesome.

She: oh oh oh! apparently, Kate luuuuuuuuuuurved Derek, then found out he was a werewolf and went all psycho mass murderer...to make daddy happy. JFC.

I heard about season six, yea. Unless something major happens (like Stiles being canonically revealed as bi and breaking up with Malia to date a dude) I don't care. (Which will never happen so I don't have to worry about catching up, lol.)

I didn't realize the ratings were that bad, but I know that most the people I used to see TW stuff from have stopped talking about it or reblogging it. It does seem like the fanbase is much smaller now.

Dylan is a treasure so if Dylan goes after this season, I hope he manages to get out alive. (He's got a decent career outside of TW now, and I'm sure if he quit the show he would have lots of alternate opportunities.) Stiles might not be the best character now, but he was amazing in earlier seasons and he deserves to walk off into the sunset. (Like Allison did, but I'm not getting into that again.)

Malia's actress was a pageant queen? Huh. Have no issue with that, but if she was only put into the show for that reason that's pretty disappointing.

I thought Posey was generally nice to fans? Wonder what happened. (I know he made an insensitive remark about Sterek fans not watching for 'the right reasons' and I rolled my eyes at that, but other than that....)

Colton sounds fun, but I ain't here for Jeff. No, Allison's mom.

And Kate can fuck off. OMG, Kate is a vile character and needs to GTFO forever.

I hadn't heard until she told me, which makes me very sad. I hope uh Dylan gets out, too. He really is a good actor.

The ratings are just terrible, apparently, which is why i'm shocked they got a new season.

Man, Allison. It just pisses me off all over again to think of her.

Yeah, no, me either, but her character is just...jayzus, so wrong, and so stupid. The whole premise is gross and beyond ridiculous. Arrgh.

Kate needs to never happen again. Colton, for some reason, is being wooed to come back, but i do believe he's smart enough not to.
