Teen Wolf

Hello-o! Okay, so, I've mentioned before that I'm a huge fan of the supernatural, whether it's werewolves,vampires,witches -I'm into that sort of thing. So anyway, today I was browsing the web, looking for something interesting to watch when I remembered that I hadn't watched Teen Wolf in two whole weeks! So I spent 80 minutes watching two episodes. I spent every single second covering my mouth, hugging my knees mumbling 'Don't scream don't scream don't scre-AAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!', or 'who is it? What does she have to do with it? This is driving me MAD!!' And at the end, I slumped on the bed, face down on my pillow, heart beating (Very quickly), mind blown and I said 'I did not see that coming'. Teen Wolf -like most other teen dramas- has you believing in one thing, expecting,, preparing for someone-or something- do make a specific decision or action, and then BOOM! It does the complete opposite. You just don't expect it and then in hits you in the face. Worst of all, every episode is a cliff-hanger. An episode comes out every Monday (on the CW I think) but I watch them on Tuesday because that's when they're released online. The lame island I live on doesn't get the nice channels. 

Here's a quick summary of the show. Teen Wolf is about a sixteen/seventeen year old boy who is turned into a wolf by the Alpha. He is the second beta. Derek is the first beta. The boy, Scott, never wanted the bite and in the first season struggles to control his magnifyed emotions. He tries not to 'turn' on everyone who bugs him. Thanks to his other-worldy abilities and super strength, he becmes captain of the LaCross team, making Jackson the Co-Captain. Jackson doesn't like being second best and starts to investigate Scott's identity. His best friend, Stiles, helps him as much as a human possibly can. Scott works part time at the vet's. A very important element in this show is love. Specifically Scott's- Allison. The girl who he's had a crush on for ages and who's family is later discovered to be secret hunters of all things supernatural. They live by a code, they don't kill the 'beast' until they have proof that it has harmed the innocent. 

As things start to heat up between Scott and Allison, Scott finds that the more intense things get, the harder he finds hiding his true identity from her. During their school year, Scott and Stiles see it their responsibility to protect everyone, especially the people close to them, from the Alpha, who was out hunting to build a pack. Scott's identity is suspected by Allison's parents. They force him to change into the werewolf, in front of Allison. A friend of Allison -and Stiles decade long crush- was bitten by the Alpha, but she was neither turned nor killed, she was immune. In the end, Derek kills the Alpha and becomes the Alpha and Allison and Scott make up.


That's the end of season 1, now on to season 2, or at least what's released of it so far. Since Allison's aunt is killed by Alpha in the first season (she deserved it, she broke the code and killed hundreds of innocent), her father moves into town supposedly for her funeral but he wants revenge and is willing to ignore the code completely to get it. As he is the leader of the hunters, he easily gets the rest of the family on board, not even Chris, Allison's father, manages to stop him. Scott and Allison and forced to break up due to Scott's nature but meet in secret every day. In this season Scott, his friends and Derek's pack are faced with a new threat. One that had never been seen before, one talked about only in legends, the Kanima. It's covered in poison that perilisases one at the touch. It is deadly. It kills people, suppsedly only murderers. It is also unable to act on its own. It needs a master. 

Throughout the season there are two big questions. What is Jackson and what's happening to Lydia? I am able to answer one of them but I'm not going to spoil the surprise. Somewhere in the series Allison is forced to tell her father everything. Three sides are formed. The wolves, Stiles and Allison. The second is the Hunters'. Both are seeking one thing. The Kanima. Who's controlling it? Why? Again I am able to answer one question. The wolves and their friends want to capture the kanima, to save the human being inside and to conquer its master. The hunters want to kill the kanima as they believe that it's too dangerous to save.

The love element in this season is a lot more complicated. Allison's grandfather becomes the school principal. Cameras are put up all over the school to spy on Allison and Scott to make sure that the don't date. Everything is really complicated all the time but the kissing doesn't lack. Allison's mother catches them kissing and tries to kill Scott. Derek comes to the rescue, she tries to hold him off but gets bitten in the process. Chris tries to help her die a dignified death before she turns into the thing they are hunting. In this season there is also the rebirth of a very unpleasent man. On the bright side, Stiles' humour increases and he makes you laugh, a lot! Even in the face of danger, he is able to make you laugh with his ironic sarcasm. It's also important to note that there are a bunch of new characters to the show. 

And that is an extremely brief summary of the season and a half that are out so far. Sounds a bit complicated, doesn't it? Well, you don't know the half of it. I strongly recomend watching this show, just don't watch it at night, in the dark, trust me. You would be afraid to sleep alone.
