Teen Wolf Review~ Episode 503~ Scarlett

          Greetings earthling. It's Scarlett. I bet you caught on from the title, but anyway, this is my review for Teen Wolf, Season 5, Episode 03. So here goes nothing.


         I've decided I'm starting this post off with a little Stiles appreciation, because he is the literal embodiment of my soul, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one.

         Okay, now that that's out of my system... ON TO THE REVIEW!

          Episode Synopsis:
                    Okay, so we all know how much I suck at keeping things short, but I'm really going to try this time. In episode 503 of Teen Wolf, Kira is being all kick-ass (but really, when is she not?). Also, this character Donovan tries to kill the sheriff. Like, he shouts it across the police station in front of Stiles and a bunch of officers. Yeah. Fun part though, Tracy's dad is Donovan's lawyer. Anyway, Donovan's prison transport vehicle is attacked by none other than our beloved, psychotic little Tracy. She kills her father and a police officer, and Donovan gets away. It's clear at this point that Tracy is supernatural, but we still don't know what. Later on in the episode, Tracy begins to attack all the people who tried to help her with her night terrors, including Lydia's mom, who was on a date with Sheriff Stilinski. Lydia and Malia step in to save the day, but Lydia is severely injured. Anyway, Tracy basically dies. I think. I really wasn't clear on that. Turns out, she's a kanima, just like Jackson from season 1.

          Review:
                    A small amount of my faith in the show has returned, as more of my incessant questions were answered. I'm still rather confused, but it was with this episode that I really became more drawn into this season. The writers strayed back into the fantasy aspect slightly, though the season's sci-fi aspects are still prevalent, and that pleases me. All in all, probably the best episode so far this season. Is 4 and a quarter stars a thing?? I don't know, but it is now. 4.25 out of 5 stars. Later lovelies.

                                   PS. Sorry. They didn't have the Mario stars :/

Teen Wolf Review~ Episode 502~ Scarlett

          Heyy there :) It's Scarlett. Again. I know. I'm getting better at this blog thing. Yayy haha. (Psych. I started this like the day after my last review. Then life happened). Okay anyway, I'm here to review Teen Wolf again. The second episode of season 5 (Episode 02 + Season 5 = Episode 502. See?), which was technically a bonus episode, aired on Tuesday, June 30th. Before Monday, I will be reviewing episode 503 and 504 as well, so look out for those. Here we go!

          Episode Synopsis:
                     I'm going to try to keep this shorter than the last one. In this episode, the main focus is on this girl named Tracy. She gets night terrors. Like full on, sleep paralysis, night terrors. Except, all of a sudden, these terrors are coming true. She goes to see Lydia's mom for help, and she just passes her off as a normal teen with stress induced dreams. Then she vomits black stuff and feathers all over Mrs. Martin's desk. (Anybody that's seen all the seasons might be with me on this one: My initial reaction was  Mistletoe?? But no, it wasn't). So anyways, Lydia tries to help out Tracy. Meanwhile, we find out Scott is taking AP Bio to help him become a vet. Stiles and Liam follow Theo in the middle of the night because of their mistrust for him, only to find him mourning his sister at the bridge. Yikes, talk about an awkward situation for them. Theo catches them and yeah... awwwkwaaaarrddd. Later on in the episode, Liam finally reveals all the supernatural phooey to Mason, and he officially joins the gang. At the end of the episode, we're still not sure what's happening to Tracy. Is she a werewolf now, too? I guess we'll just have to stay tuned to find out more.

(Sidenote: This ^^  is like one of my favorite moments in TW history. Because it is me with all my friends)

          Review:
                    I was a little bit more enthusiastic about this episode of Teen Wolf than I was the last one, but not entirely persuaded. In my humble opinion, there's still too much confusion surrounding the Dread Doctors for me to get into it. Some mystery is great, yes, and it leaves the viewer in suspense, but as I watch Season 5, I continuously seem to find myself lost in the extremely tangled plotline. I've got too many questions to actually focus on the plotline at this point, and it's rather frustrating. I'm extremely attached to this group of characters, and, quite frankly, it aggravates me that I can't focus on them because I'm too busy questioning the show as a whole. I hate not understanding things, and I hardcore don't understand what's up with the Dread Doctors. However, as the season progresses, I am finding myself slowly won over by the plotline. I just don't like all the questions that haven't been answered. I continue to hold high hopes for the season. 4 out of 5 stars.

K bye.

Teen Wolf Review~ Episode 501~ Scarlett

                                                       ***DISCLAIMER***

I started this review on a Friday, but then I got really busy all of a sudden, and it was really unexpected so this review got put on hold. I'm definitely going to be reviewing the episodes more regularly from now on. Sorry babes  :(
 

 

          Hiii there lil' weblings! It's Scarlett. You guys don't know this about me, but I am absolutely obsessed with MTV's show Teen Wolf. If you're not familiar with it, it's basically about this average boy who gets bitten by a werewolf and then gets involved in a whole string of odd, supernatural things, and comes to find out most of his friends are supernatural too. Cliché? Think again. The show brilliantly utilizes a wide array of mythological beings, not just your typical vampire werewolf showdowns. The writers pull heavily from Celtic mythology for a while, and then foray more into the world of sci-fi with the premiere of season five, which was on Monday, June 29th, and we were given a bonus episode on Tuesday, June 30th (which will be in a different review).

          I bet you've already realized this, but I'm going to be reviewing the show this season. Now, I won't be reviewing it as it airs, so you guys have time to catch up. On Demand comes out with that week's episode on Thursdays (I believe), so reviewing the episodes on Fridays seems to make sense. I'll also be doing them a week later than the week the episodes aired in because I meant to do this last Friday but I wasn't at home. Sorry :(


          Anyway, onto the review.

          Teen Wolf: Episode 501 (Contains possible spoilers!!!!)
         

         Episode Synopsis:
                    This episode starts on the eve of the packs' senior year. Scott and  Stiles are having a conversation about the future, and how they plan on everyone staying together. Stiles has coined this idea "the vision" because he's Stiles and he does things like that. Shush I think he's adorable. Anyway, they go and do all the senior traditions and Kira comes back and yay! Everything seems all happy. Yeah no. Think again. Parrish presses Sheriff Stilinski to let him go do something because the power is out and the town is kind of in chaos. The sheriff eventually gives in, and Parrish goes on an adventure (xD). He ends up getting attacked by this power sucking werewolf thing who is looking for Scott. Great. So much for an easygoing senior year. Yada yada yada, some extra stuff happens, and the demon wolf thing finds Scott and his friends at school. It tries to suck up all Scott's power as a true alpha, but fails. Scott sends him running, tail between his legs. No pun intended. Then this kid Theo shows up. Apparently he went to elementary school with Scott and Stiles, except Stiles doesn't think this is actually Theo. Theo is a werewolf and wants to be part of Scott's pack. Scott needs to make up his mind. At the end of the episode, the demon wolf thing goes to this warehouse and is yelled at by some creepy people things in masks. They kill him because he failed his task of eliminating Scott. A whole bunch of crows fly out of the wolf guy's body. Weird, I know.

          Review:
                    I was a little disappointed in the premiere of this season, to be honest. It was obviously quite good, because Teen Wolf  could never be bad, but, oh, I don't know. It seemed a little choppy and not entirely put together. I think fans of the show expect a lot of action, because that's something the show does, but the writers crammed too much into the first episode. We weren't given enough time to transition back into the show, to reconnect with the characters, it was just BAM all of a sudden everything's happening and we weren't given any time to adjust.

                    I'm also a little let down by the whole supernatural aspect of the show. It's branching more into sci-fi now, and don't get me wrong, I love sci-fi, but that's not what I want when I watch this show. Honestly, after season 3 with the Dar'roch, the show has gone a little downhill. Season four was good, with it's exploration into the human psychosis, and FINALLY something supernatural going on with Stiles, but they're branching away from the fantasy aspect if the show, and that makes me a little sad. I think the writers are running out of ideas revolving around fantasy. Despite that, I hold tight to my faith in the show and hope it gets better.

                      Overall Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
