I guess some of the “teachers alone in the dark” thing comes from not wanting to dress up anther set, and wanting appropriate atmosphere. It’s still totally rediculous, but I can see why it’s done that way.

The police magically knowing where Derek is bothered me more, actually.

I kind of wish they’d revealed the Alpha earlier… the “mystery” wasn’t all that intriguing, and there’s more drama now that he’s out in the open. I still want to know why he’s got such a boner for Scott, though.

This whole thing has turned out better than I had hoped. It still has (a lot of) rough spots, but it also has glimmers of quality. And I agree, Jackson is pretty awesome, in his own way.

If only Scott wasn’t so useless… that’s a huge drag on the show. It’s hard when you can’t care about the main character.

And I’ll give the show credit for saying Jackson had wolfsbane poisoning… the doctor didn’t seem surprised that it caused the kid problems. Though if I was the doctor, I would have followed that up with “why the fucking fuck are you eating wolfsbane, you gobshite?”

PS: Would /any/ of these supernatural shows acknowledge that wolfsbane is actually a really deadly plant to humans, werewolves or not (eating that would not just give you nightmares)? And you certainly don’t take antibiotics to cure poisoning, but whatever….

I would love to see Allison get some ass-kicking time… and it looks like that’s the direction they’re heading, so yay for us :-)

Jackson is a pretty solid character, and the guy playing him does a really good job. He’s an asshole, but I’m supposed to think he’s an asshole, so it all works out. Also: him speaking French? Only if he thought it would get him laid.

As to the Alpha, Derek has said that werewolves can “turn off” their healing factor with a conscious effort, so the way I read it, this was the first week that the Alpha was strong enough to walk around in human form, but he intentionally left his face burned, for dramatic effect. Then, when he was with Derek, he turned his healing factor back on, and presto, no more makeup.

“Team Sterek: Approves.” Love that! They are my favourite part of the show. I loved the facesmash. I also loved the whole Miguel scene, i’m relatively easy pleased.

If Alison turns all Angelina-Jolie-kickarse then that would be awesome! She has potential!

I actually liked the whole doctor part with the foliage coming out of Jackson, it was scary and well done i thought. Jackson was great this week, front and centre. He’s got the ability to be quite menacing, do you agree?

I’m glad you explained what Alison’s surname meant because i didn’t get that. i had no idea what Jackson said, somehow i don’t believe that Jackson is fluent in French – but whatever.

Last thing, I have no idea why the Alpha’s face is all post-proactive clean again. I missed that bit too.

Until next week, great Re-cap! I look forward to these every week :D
Thank you.

I would totally watch that show. Of course, I watch this show, so it’s not like my standards are that high. ;-)

Yeah, the whole “ripping a vine full of wolfsbane out of your spine with a pair of rusty pliers” was a bit… much ;-)

I know, right? Whatever Scott touches fall apart. They totally should have made Stiles the werewolf.

I actually called the Alpha’s identity a couple of weeks ago, but I really have no idea where they’re going with it. I want to know why he’s got such a rager for Scott… and it better be a damn good explanation.
