Question: What valuable life lesson can be gleaned from both the adorkable mid-nineties romantic coma comedy While You Were Sleeping and this past week’s installment of Teen Wolf?
Answer: They both teach us that comatose thirty-somethings named Peter with disturbingly expressive (sometimes frightening) eyebrows have the power to provide purpose in the lives of shy, socially awkward girls, who make questionable hair care choices . . .
. . . but only while mid-coma.
Poor Meredith Walker! If she had only shared her hospital room with The Dad from The O.C. instead of The Gorilla thing from Season 1, her life would be so much less complicated right now . . .
This week’s installment of Teen Wolf was equal parts satisfying and frustrating . . .
Satisfying, because our oddly loveable Benefactor has finally revealed her motivations for mass murder, and they are, if not entirely understandable (Who recorded all those tapes? How exactly did Meredith manage to control a 70’s era computer program WITH HER MIND?), at least weirdly sympathetic. (If we had to listen 24-7 to the dream-state ramblings of a scarfaced wackadoo with seemingly czarists designs on his easily extorted upper class town, we’d want some heads to roll too . . . )
Frustrating because . . . HUH?
I mean talk about a Deus Ex Machina! This was literally a case where there appeared to be an actual ghost in the machine . . .
. . . who pretty much controlled everything bad that happened to the characters throughout the entire season. . .
Our heroes then discovered that ghost almost entirely by accident . . .
. . . and then, sometime around the 50 minute mark of the episode, that ghost just got tired and went home.
But hey, at least Scott’s Wolf Facelift looked cool, right?
Let’s review shall we?
[As always a big hearty thanks to my screencapping pal Andre, who is 100% immune to the charms of the sometimes naked (always sexy) Deputy Parrish (WHY? HOW?), but always screencaps him faithfully for me anyway, because he’s just cool like that.]
Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This . . .
Don’t you just hate it when it’s pouring buckets of CGI-perfected rain outside, and you just so happened to leave the house/cave (?) without your umbrella?
“My perm is ruined!”
Don’t you also hate it when it’s raining, and you are being hunted by an army of black suited militia types with laser guns?
“Think anyone will see us?”
“There’s no place like cave . . . there’s no place like cave.”
I know I do . . .
That’s why I always make sure to have my own personal pocket ninja available to defend my honor at a moment’s notice . . .
Hiiiiyaaa!
(Also, I never leave home without my umbrella . . . well . . . almost never.)
Speaking of pocket-sized things one should never leave home without . . .
The Trials and Tribulations of Teeny Wolf
I think a part of Scott assumed that the second he turned Liam (accidental or not), the latter would immediately become his fashionable accessory for always . . . not unlike one of Paris Hilton’s purse dogs . . .
“Yo quiero ser Scrappy Doo . . .
. . . a permanent guest on the back of his motorcycle . . .
. . . the permanent squire to his knight, during Weekly Werewolf Fight Time . . .
. . . a permanent awkward third wheel on his kissy face dates with Kira . . .
Unfortunately for Scott, Liam doesn’t seem to really be feeling his purse dog status. (Though he’s sure got those puppy dog eyes down pat.)
The thing about supernatural TV shows is that they tend to require an Audience Surrogate character to keep things grounded . . . someone with the ability to say the type of things you or I would say when placed in the ridiculous supernatural situations the Scooby Gang gets placed in each week . . .
Someone to say things like, “Isn’t it kind of weird how so many of our friends die, and the following week we just seem to forget they even existed?”
And, “This whole Werewolf Curse Thing doesn’t seem like anything that a really good razor, a cough drop, and some Visine couldn’t cure.”
And, “Where the heck is that really bad techno fight music coming from?”
Up until around Season 3, that person for Teen Wolf was Stiles . . .
But, while the Scooby Gang’s Resident Human is still just as relatable, clever and wisecracking as he ever was . . .you’ve got to admit he’s gotten a wee bit blasé about the whole Mass Murder Thing of late . . .
. . . (maybe it has something to do with all that time he spent as an Evil Japanese Spirit, with a face wrapped in Charmin Extra Soft)
“Don’t squeeze the Charmin.”
Enter Liam . . .
He’s new to the Werewolf Game . . .
. . . he finds being almost brutally killed week after week a teensy bit traumatizing . . .
. . . he believes becoming Lacrosse Team Captain is a bit more reasonable of a goal then Rescuing The World From Evil . . .
In other words, he’s just like us . . .
(Only slightly younger and much, much prettier . . .)
Anyway, Liam earns some major points cool points from me this week for getting Scott to acknowledge the existence of all his instantly forgotten Dead Friends . . .
Bravo, Little Guy . . .
Psycho Killer (Que’st-ce que c’est!)
Ahhhh, Meredith, faking your own death, and then casually admitting to singlehandedly orchestrating the systematic Mass Murder for Hire of what seems like three-quarters of the town of Beacon Hills has lost you a few popularity points with Everyone’s Favorite Authority Figure . . .
“I’m definitely selling my Team Meredith t-shirt on E-bay!”
Now, they are never going to let you date Isaac . . . assuming he ever returns . . . and/or anyone decides to remember that he exists . . .
When Sheriff Stilinski’s and Lydia’s feeble attempts to glean from Zany Meredith something resembling a motive fail miserably, they decide to call for reinforcements . . . Deep V-Neck reinforcements . . .
Shame on you Meredith! Peter is pretty much old enough to be your FATHER . . . or, at least, her father . . .
But hey, you know what they say . . . a lid for every pot . . . even if that lid is a full-on sociopath with a possible furry fetish . . .
Help is on the way . . .
Remember all those Buddhist werewolves who went out into a forest, got poisoned by canine distemper and died?
They’re baaaaaackkk . . .
“We’re going to need a bigger bathroom.”
Well, some of them, anyway . . .
Scott and Co. somehow locate the surviving members of Satomi’s pack. (It probably helps that they hide in completely inauspicious places . . . like in the center of high school football field.)
But where to put them all?
I know! How about that adorable hotel the gang stayed at a couple seasons back? That place was swanky!
Scott, being Scott, decides on a spectacular hiding place for his furry friends . . . a place that no one would ever think to look . . . unless they were a werewolf hunter . . .
. . . or a Werejaguar . . .
. . . or a gang of trained assassins . . .
. . . or Peter Hale . . .
OK, on second thought, maybe this wasn’t the best hiding place for a family of werewolves (or the second best, or the third best, or the fourth best, or the twenty ninth). But hey, at least they didn’t use the Hale Vault again . . .
Of course, Scott has barely had enough time to show his new roommates the Argent Arms bathroom when company arrived . . .
. . . and then . . . even worse company . . .
Tongue Tied . . .
Meanwhile, back in Death Trap hospital, Stiles is nursing a possible concussion from his most recent Brush With Death . . .
Mama McCall asks everyone’s favorite human if he has any dying requests . . .
He does. He wants a tape player . . .
. . . or, as Mama McCall knows them, cassette player.
And so tapes cassettes and the record player make yet another cameo appearance on this season of Teen Wolf.
Next season, phone booths . . .
. . . Oregon Trail . . .
. . . and that asshat dog from Duck Hunt . . .
But Mama McCall has other ideas, apart from archaic technological devices, to aid Stiles on his road to recovery . . .
How about, conjugal visits?
That’s right, boys and girls. Stiles and Malia are back together . . . and all it took was a few minutes in an antiseptic hospital room . . . possibly reminding them of that time they took one another’s virginity in the basement of another wellness institution . . . The Nuthouse . . . shortly before a possessed Stiles went on a murderous rampage and attempted to assassinate all of his friends . . .
. . . aka . . . the Good Ole Days . . .
Mystery Date
Back at the Beacon Hills PD, the moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived . . .
FRO . . .
Meets . . .
DUDEBRO . . .
It’s a showdown of epic proportions. They meet. They exchange pleasantries . . .
BRO RAPES FRO’S NECK WITH HIS GROSS NAILS . . .
Perhaps, I should backtrack a bit . . .
You see, Uncle Peter doesn’t seem to remember Meredith at all. (And that fro and those Massive Googly Eyes are not the kind of things a guy like Peter quickly forgets.)
And yet, Meredith remembers Peter VERY well. It seems she knew him back in the day . . . you know . . . before the magical werewolf plastic surgery . . . and the gorilla thing . . . and the whole rising from the dead thing . . .
In fact, Meredith knew Peter VERY well . . . so well, in fact, that she was willing to orchestrate a Mass Murder Deadpool, using his money . . . because he ASKED HER TO DO IT!!
*record scratch*
Yup, that’s right . . . Peter Hale arranged for the theft of his own money. He is literally the benefactor of The Benefactor . . .
. . . and he doesn’t remember one minute of it . . .
The Smoking Gun . . .
Back at Stiles’ house (I guess tonguing Malia cured his concussion after all), Stiles and Malia play around with a tape cassette player to determine whether any additional information about the Benefactor’s source of funds distribution can be gleaned from Lydia’s grandma’s Death Tape.
Guess what? It can! Somehow Malia discovers that the tape in question was actually made at Lydia’s grandmother’s lake house . . . i.e. the creepy place with the white walls and the Really Rickety Tape Recorder.
So, Little Red Riding Stiles and the Big Bad Werecoyote take a nice little trip to grandma’s house, where they proceed to listen to the same record player Lydia’s been staring stonily at just about all season. Only this time, they hear something different . . . something Lydia apparently missed . ..
“You had ONE job, Lydia! One job!”
There’s something in the wall!
I wonder what it could be?
Is it? (A) The cast from Sixth Sense?
(B) A band of vengeful Oompa Loompas
(C) The set piece for every movie involving computers that took place between around 1975 and 1988.
If you guessed (C) you get a cookie.
Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the source of the Deadpool . . .
But how did it get there? How did the Benefactor access it? How does it work / distribute funds?
Well, Werebangers, hold on to your hats. Because you are about to get the answers to all some almost one of those questions . . .
Pillow Talk
So, here’s how it all went down . . .
Apparently, Peter and Meredith were coma bed buddies, back when Peter was suffering third degree burns from the Hale House Fire, and Meredith was suffering from . . . really bad music?
Also during that time, Banshee Meredith’s I See Dead People’s powers apparently magically expanded to I Talk To Coma Patients . . .
And Peter . . . well, he was the chattiest coma patient ever . . .
So, chatty, in fact, that he basically wrote the entire plot for Season 4 of Teen Wolf . . . a plot that Meredith wrote down faithfully in her mind.
You see, Coma Peter was MAD about the Hale Fire . . . mad about what it said about his werewolf heritage, how it made them seem weak and helpless.
And so, Coma Peter devised a plan in his mind . . . a sort of Darwin Survival of the Hairiest Plan . . . a Noah’s Arc for Were Things plan to rebuild the supernatural nation, by murdering every supernatural being that couldn’t fend for themselves, and (presumably) having the surviving supernaturals engage in a LOT of sex and repopulation pronto . . .
And then, Meredith, being industrious and only slightly psychotic, immediately upon getting out of the hospital, used her heretofore nonexistence Berserker contacts to steal $170 million from Peter’s Hale vault, her heretofore unused computer knowledge to arrange for a complex wire transfer system to be run out of the heretofore unseen computer in Dead Grandma Lorraine Martin’s wall, and her heretofore unseen anger against “wimpy” supernaturals to arrange for the murders of an entire truckload of them.
When Peter learns about this, he’s of course, wryly amused and slightly smug, as he is when he learns pretty much every piece of information on the show.
He’s also, as it appears, entirely innocent. Because, if thinking bad thoughts was a crime we’d all be guilty. And if wearing Deep V-Neck shirts was a crime . . . well . . . that’s another story . . .
So, Sheriff Stilinski pulls a gun on Mr. I’m Always the Alpha . . .
. . . snorts and stirs for a bit . . .
. . . and ultimately lets him live to aimlessly plot the murder of Scott McCall another day . . .
. . . And plot the murder of Scott McCall, Peter does . . . big time . . . again . . .
Fight Fight Fight . . .
Meanwhile, a team of trained assassins ambush the Scooby Gang at Argent Arms . . .
And Scott gets MAD! SUPER MAD!
Almost Gorilla Thing Mad . . . or Gargoyle Smurf Mad . . .
Maybe even Darach mad . . .
Except not quite . . .
And then, just when things start to get really Alpha-y . . .
Stiles and Malia shut down the deadpool by . . . wait for it . . . turning off the computer . . .
No seriously, they found a key in some wine bottle and . . . turned it to off . . .
Just think, an entire season worth of murders . . . and they all could have been avoided in the same way you fix your laptop when it freezes . . .
As for Alpha Scott . . . well, better luck next season.
Next week, on Teen Wolf . . .
See ya then, Werebangers . . .

Just a test to see whether this works:

Damn, didn’t work
Like I said before.
Why don’t you write the episodes? Your recaps are far more enjoyable than the show has been in a long time.
Wow, this episode was stupid again. It is as though the writers have some sort of competition about how to write the dumbest crap there is.
Answer: They both teach us that comatose thirty-somethings named Peter with disturbingly expressive (sometimes frightening) eyebrows have the power to provide purpose in the lives of shy, socially awkward girls, who make questionable hair care choices . . .
Maybe they watched that movie. Possible.
This week’s installment of Teen Wolf was equal parts satisfying and frustrating . . .
You can probably guess that nothing was satisfying to me….
Who recorded all those tapes? How exactly did Meredith manage to control a 70’s era computer program WITH HER MIND?
Exactly. Seriously, where does that come from? How does that work? Also allegedly Lydia’s gandma predicted the deaths of this season but the seasons before she did not predict? Jackson alone must have slaughtered probably just as much as died here. Also did that computer run the whole time? How did it come there? That is equally lazy writing as riddle demon’s corpse in Eichenhouse walls, where we also have no idea why it was there. There is no excuse in my eyes, the writers fail.
If we had to listen 24-7 to the dream-state ramblings of a scarfaced wackadoo with seemingly czarists designs on his easily extorted upper class town, we’d want some heads to roll too . . .
Which made me wonder why Peter would want that to begin with. And if he was that crazy already (btw. Meredith doesn’t seem to have aged at all in about 7 years) why was there no trace later on? They seriously made that up. Which is giant
FAIL!!!!!!
I mean talk about a Deus Ex Machina! This was literally a case where there appeared to be an actual ghost in the machine . . .
Not to mention that this one here doesn’t even make sense in anyway. In the avatar cartoon at least that giant lion turtle can be made sense of within the universe:
Since you could say that it came to restore balance to the seriously outbalanced world however this here makes no sense when you think about it for more than a second. You would have to create a whole season by itself to just cover up these plotholes here and they haven’t even covered the plotholes from last season. And seriously, at the moment I cannot think of any way to have this make sense here.
. . . who pretty much controlled everything bad that happened to the characters throughout the entire season. . .
Our heroes then discovered that ghost almost entirely by accident . . .
. . . and then, sometime around the 50 minute mark of the episode, that ghost just got tired and went home.
Makes you also wonder how no one else ever noticed that and how on earth this all works with the whole “all contracts terminated”… Or why the hunters just stopped and apparently could hear their phones ringing. These writers clearly have no idea how battles with guns work. In actually they would have kept on shooting often out of pure self-defense and would only notice later. These guys were nothing but plot devices.
who is 100% immune to the charms of the sometimes naked (always sexy) Deputy Parrish (WHY? HOW?)
It is actually pretty easy. Like I said, for me the guy is just another of the million physical Jackson rip-offs of this show and not only did I never consider Jackson to be attractive in any way, I am simply overfed with them. The show clearly prefers that type and I don’t think it will ever change. The moment I heard that there would be a new lacrosse player in town, I knew he would look like Jackson and probably be the new Jackson and that is what he was and is.
Don’t you also hate it when it’s raining, and you are being hunted by an army of black suited militia types with laser guns?
Who despite all their high-tech cannot just kill you and waste their time in flooding the lacrosse field with light (it was the field right? If yes they really hunted around the school?) instead of just killing their targets. Why should I be afraid of these guys?
That’s why I always make sure to have my own personal pocket ninja available to defend my honor at a moment’s notice . . .
Which begs the question:
How did she get there/find them? There is nothing revealed about Kira ever that would explain this. Also wasn’t she in NYC? When did she get back? The last episode was what, yesterday inside the show?
Unfortunately for Scott, Liam doesn’t seem to really be feeling his purse dog status. (Though he’s sure got those puppy dog eyes down pat.)
That is probably because the show ran into its old problem:
They don’t know what to do with more than 5 characters, so despite them wanting to promote him, they don’t know what to do with him. It was the same with Boyd and Erica, with Deaton, Morell, the Alpha pack and all.
Someone to say things like, “Isn’t it kind of weird how so many of our friends die, and the following week we just seem to forget they even existed?”
Julie, be quiet, you are demanding that a character in the show points out the plotholes.
Up until around Season 3, that person for Teen Wolf was Stiles . . .
But, while the Scooby Gang’s Resident Human is still just as relatable, clever and wisecracking as he ever was . . .you’ve got to admit he’s gotten a wee bit blasé about the whole Mass Murder Thing of late . . .
. . . (maybe it has something to do with all that time he spent as an Evil Japanese Spirit, with a face wrapped in Charmin Extra Soft)
Enter Liam . . .
Like I said, they want to promote him and that is the only way they know how. Just like they promoted Scott by having him be the Alpha and leader despite there being no reason to and suddenly especially in season 3a have him say stuff that both Chris and Stiles would have figured out long before he would have had even a hint in that direction.
But woo if you point that out, then the fans get pissy and write essays to “disprove” you, which usually involve swearing…. Yeah so mature.
. . . he finds being almost brutally killed week after week a teensy bit traumatizing . . .
With emphazise on “a teensy bit” 😉
. . . he believes becoming Lacrosse Team Captain is a bit more reasonable of a goal then Rescuing The World From Evil . . .
So he is season 1 Scott now? Because that was what Scott basically did back then.
In other words, he’s just like us . . .
Not me, at that age I was whiney, but I would not have given up so quickly.
Anyway, Liam earns some major points cool points from me this week for getting Scott to acknowledge the existence of all his instantly forgotten Dead Friends . . .
Speaking of her, technically Scott should have grieved for her and there are four stages of grief:
1. Shock and Denial
2. Intense Concern
3. Despair and Depression
4. Recovery
Or if you go after the Kuebler-Ross-model, there are five:
1. Denial
2. anger
3. bargaining
4. depression
5. acceptance
At most Scott seems to have shown some shock and full on acceptance/recovery, technically not even that since that is still part of the healing process, but Scott seems fully healed ever since the season started. Unless you count that one few seconds scene from the last episode of season 3 as despair and depression he never grieved at all. Because he sure as hell still doesn’t act as if anything ever happened, not even as if he is in denial or anything. They just skipped that because they don’t care about it, even though it would make Kira’s and Scott’s relationship different from the one of Scott and Allison, but so far all there is that these two aren’t having any sex, at all.
Ahhhh, Meredith, faking your own death
Why actually? Can you give me a good explanation as to why she did that apart from fooling the audience?
Now, they are never going to let you date Isaac . . . assuming he ever returns . . . and/or anyone decides to remember that he exists . . .
Let’s hope he stays away. One Jackson rip-off is enough.
Shame on you Meredith! Peter is pretty much old enough to be your FATHER . . . or, at least, her father . . .
You know the more I think about it: Why does she want to speak with him? I know she is crazy, but why? Because it was his plan? She had to listen to him all the time so why does she want to see him again?
Remember all those Buddhist werewolves who went out into a forest, got poisoned by canine distemper and died?
They’re baaaaaackkk . . .
Apparently the Chemist was even dumber since he seems to have gotten at most half oft he pack. Btw. why was Braeden with them if she was supposedly tracking Kate?
Scott and Co. somehow locate the surviving members of Satomi’s pack. (It probably helps that they hide in completely inauspicious places . . . like in the center of high school football field.)
And you know what one of the worst thing about this is? Satomi’s statement about werewolves being inherently violent was the truest thing anyone said about them in 3 seasons and they all go (via Scott and Chris) “no you are wrong you can better yourself and you are just misunderstood”, which is BS. They are dangerous, the show’s messages are as screwed as ever.
I know! How about that adorable hotel the gang stayed at a couple seasons back? That place was swanky!
Not possible since the hunters apparently have surrounded the town somehow, not that they use that to just kill the werewolves, but apparently they had all sex with werewolves once so they are stupid.
Scott, being Scott, decides on a spectacular hiding place for his furry friends . . . a place that no one would ever think to look . . . unless they were a werewolf hunter . . .
. . . or a Werejaguar . . .
. . . or a gang of trained assassins . . .
. . . or Peter Hale . . .
OK, on second thought, maybe this wasn’t the best hiding place for a family of werewolves (or the second best, or the third best, or the fourth best, or the twenty ninth). But hey, at least they didn’t use the Hale Vault again . . .
Maybe that would have been the better choice. But here… gosh that was so stupid, not just the hunters (automatic weapons but in the end they didn’t seem to have killed anyone) but the werewolves as well. None of them seems to try and flee (after all they seem to have been coming all from the same direction when they “attacked”) and they just gathered there like lambs to be slaughtered. And do they set up alarm posts? No. Do they have a tactic? No!!! So, again:WHY IS SCOTT THE LEADER AND SO ALLEGEDLY SPECIAL???????
This should have gotten all of them slaughtered, but no, it didn’t. At all.
And you know what one of those crazy fans said about why the assassins so far are so shitty?
Because they fight against supernaturals and as such are at a disadvantage. Yeah right, having special wolfsbane and weapons, having special music and mutated viruses is of course a disadvantage. You see in their eyes its not that these assassins are incompetent, no it is because they are not supernatural and not werewolf hunters. Which is of course BS and now you cannot even say that. Even with just what you saw in this season of hunters doing things they could have done that better. What, they didn’t have some sort of wolfsbane gas grenade or those sound things that Chris used to capture Jackson 2.0? Why didn’t they use that to poison or distract the werewolves and then shoot them? Or set the building ablaze with some Molotov cocktails and then shoot them when they try to get out? Seriously the last time I saw that level of utter writing incompetence was in Cassandra Clare’s latest Bane Chronicles story.
There is something like being stressed out, being stupid and there is stuff like lazy and incompetent writers being unable or unwilling to think of anything better than half assed plot full of holes so big the moon would fit into it.
Meanwhile, back in Death Trap hospital, Stiles is nursing a possible concussion from his most recent Brush With Death . . .
He suffered a possible concussion from that? In season 2 Erica hit him with a peace of his car and he was fine shortly afterwards, so I think this here is only there to have this idiotic Malia Stiles scene, which I really don’t care about so I will skip it all.
BRO RAPES FRO’S NECK WITH HIS GROSS NAILS . . .
When I saw that I was:
So it is established that the telepathy thing can definitely be done by a Beta, they did that at least two times now. Then why is no one else using that? They have never shown any dangers inherent in that process so why don’t they use telepathy more often?
In fact, Meredith knew Peter VERY well . . . so well, in fact, that she was willing to orchestrate a Mass Murder Deadpool, using his money . . . because he ASKED HER TO DO IT!!
*record scratch*
Yup, that’s right . . . Peter Hale arranged for the theft of his own money. He is literally the benefactor of The Benefactor . . .
Why? Why that convoluted plot and why did it take so long?
(C) The set piece for every movie involving computers that took place between around 1975 and 1988.
Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the source of the Deadpool . . .
But how did it get there? How did the Benefactor access it? How does it work / distribute funds?
Well, Werebangers, hold on to your hats. Because you are about to get the answers to all some almost one of those questions . . .
You said it. This whole thing makes no sense. At all.
Also during that time, Banshee Meredith’s I See Dead People’s powers apparently magically expanded to I Talk To Coma Patients . . .
And Peter . . . well, he was the chattiest coma patient ever . . .
So, chatty, in fact, that he basically wrote the entire plot for Season 4 of Teen Wolf . . . a plot that Meredith wrote down faithfully in her mind.
This directly teleports Meredith into plotdevice territory with no turning back. You see, Lydia never showed something like that and this here is not death sense or danger sense or precognition, this is full blown telepathy and nothing else. They literally give her the powers they need for the plot.
And if she is the benefactor and wanted Peter’s plan to succeed why did she help those people so far? Not just this season, but last season as well. Why? This “explanation” once more raises way more questions than it answers.
You see, Coma Peter was MAD about the Hale Fire . . . mad about what it said about his werewolf heritage, how it made them seem weak and helpless.
Don’t forget that they said in the episode that they don’t know why Peter is in a coma… no comment
And then, Meredith, being industrious and only slightly psychotic, immediately upon getting out of the hospital, used her heretofore nonexistence Berserker contacts to steal $170 million from Peter’s Hale vault, her heretofore unused computer knowledge to arrange for a complex wire transfer system to be run out of the heretofore unseen computer in Dead Grandma Lorraine Martin’s wall, and her heretofore unseen anger against “wimpy” supernaturals to arrange for the murders of an entire truckload of them.
That is not what happened Julie, she bumbled around for some time and even helped the others. Why do that? So the “prophecy” could be fulfilled? Did Peter plan that far ahead and in detail? They say it was due to Lydia’s scream in season 3 but why? Why has that any significance?
. . . and ultimately lets him live to aimlessly plot the murder of Scott McCall another day . . .
Because Scott has to be important even though nothing ever supported this claim. No idea why Peter doesn’t just kill some other Alpha, or just kills Scott now.
Meanwhile, a team of trained assassins ambush the Scooby Gang at Argent Arms . . .
I think you mean a team of super idiots
And Scott gets MAD! SUPER MAD!
Why? Are we to assume that he cares so much about all of these people that he loses control? The way I know this show the answer is probably yes, so it’s shitty writing and directing again because Scott sure as hell didn’t show any signs of that in his behavior. There was only the teeth thing and that was just thrown in there. His behavior was no more angry or erratic than before, meaning there was no difference at all.
Stiles and Malia shut down the deadpool by . . . wait for it . . . turning off the computer . . .
No seriously, they found a key in some wine bottle and . . . turned it to off . . .
And considered the noise it made when Stiles shook the bottle Lydia should have noticed that already.
Just think, an entire season worth of murders . . . and they all could have been avoided in the same way you fix your laptop when it freezes . . .
Or simply by cutting of the energy to the house. Seriously is it always on there? They didn’t notice all the bills for it for energy that is seemingly not used? Such things can be measure you know.
As for Alpha Scott . . . well, better luck next season.
That will probably be either him against Peter, or they just skip Peter again… and I so don’t care. I will be happy when this dumb season is over.
