Teen Wolf 3x23 Insatiable

[schneefink]

The things I liked first:
- another banshee, yay! But why does she have to be crazy? :(
- some nice stuff for Coach (though actually attacking the guy with the tazer like this, especially the second time, is extremely dangerous and not cool)
- foreshadowing (I'm convinced that's what it was) with deputy parrish - though WHY does he have to be another white guy
- confirmation that the Allison/Isaac scene was actually them, at least Allison thought about it
- the twins being hurt (so what)
- that the "secret" of the McCall past doesn't make Melissa look like the bad guy and Scott still tells his dad to fuck off
- Stiles post-possession - all of it was great, Melissa being hesitant and Scott being worried and the Stilinski hug and Stiles saying he remembers twisting the sword and doesn't want anybody else to die because of him (AND THEN)
- That Chris is the person Derek goes to for help with the twins
- Lydia stopping cowering before the nogitsune and sending a message to stay away to save her friends
- Kira confronting her mother (with the help of her dad, yay parents)
- the nogitsune taking control of the oni because it looked cool

What I didn't like:
ALLISON DYING FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
Okay so apparently the actress wanted to leave the show which makes me slightly less inclined to murder the writers but only a tiny little bit because seriously, that death scene? Why kill her at all, why can't she just go somewhere else like Jackson, or even Deucalion? (oh wait: they are white guys.) (Okay admittedly Allison wouldn't leave easily, but that's the writers job, I'm sure they could find something like e.g. moving to a different city because the Hunters' council is there and someone has to keep an eye on them, idk.) Why such a stupid cliché scene, in Scott's arms ffs just so that everyone asks why he doesn't even try to give her the bite (imo it's understandable for Scott but not for the plot), with her last words being about her love for Scott because why, ARGH. No that she was badass & saved Isaac's life seconds before doesn't make up for it.
And also if she's dead what was the whole foreshadowing for, with Allison not being marked by the Oni and Chris' look when he sees the shells - I was so convinced that the "death" is a ploy of some sort by Kate possessing Allison that I only believed it when I looked online afterwards. Just another wasted opportunity.
Allison was SUCH a great character, §"$)%(/!"§ so frustrated.

So after Boyd and Erica this is the point where in my head I completely refuse to go along with canon. Nope. Never happened.

Coach: Es gibt eine Fanfic, in der er eine Fee oder so ist (Faery/Fae), und seitdem ist das irgendwie immer in meinem Hinterkopf. Manchmal sehe ich sogar die rosa Glitzerflügelchen. *g*

Allison: Stimme zu. Wobei ich inzwischen an keinem der Charaktere mehr wirklich interessiert bin, und die letzten Episoden im Schnellspulverfahren geschaut habe. Mein Head-Kanon ist bei einem Mix aus S1&S2 stehen geblieben, und wird das - mit ausgewählten Einschüben - aus S3 auch so bleiben.

Und der Deputy sieht entweder so aus, weil er ein Paradebeispiel für einen bestimmten Typus Bubi ist, dem in der Schwulenszene nachgesabbert wird, oder weil er vage Ähnlichkeit mit Jeff Davis hat. /Zynismus

Bin ich die einzige die findet, dass Deputy Parrish aussieht wie der kleine Bruder von Cpt America??

...Nein?

Schade um Allison :( mal schaun, ob ich mir die letzten beiden Folgen überhaupt ansehe.

... wie der kleine Bruder von Cpt America??

O-okay.... ...

(die Augen!!)

[extempore]

Ja ne? *g*

Du hattest mir nur kurz einen Brain Freeze verpasst mit der Verknüpfung. Ich sehe Jeff D, und du Steve Rogers Junior, uähhhh...

(Wobei ich die Crossover-Idee ja mag, es gibt auch TW/Avengers Crossover, die durchaus gelungen sind und Sinn machen.)

[lian]

ich weiß ja gar nicht, wie der Herr Davis aussieht! :D sogesehen war Raum für positivere Assoziationen

(außerdem bin ich ausnahmsweise voll im fannischen Mainstream weil ich mich wie blöd auf Winter Soldier freu und das wohl hineinhalluziniere?? /off topic)

In einem bestimmten Licht... vielleicht ein klitzekleines bisschen *g*

Coach mit rosa Flügeln! Tolle Vorstellung :D

Well still one ep to go, so I'm holding out on judgements (I remember Jackson's season 2 arc...). Having said that, if what we got in the last ep is how we end up, I'm satisfied. I always prefer a 'clean cut' rather than a fudged 'move away' just to be never heard of again (still remembering Brenda on BH90210 there, scared for life).

Also, a death scene is often considered a sign of respect and 'parting gift' for the actor/actress, an oportunity to shine and dominate the scene. In view of Allison's development it also makes sense for her, to die in battle, and to die because she was saving somebody else, so, despite the painfulnes of it all, I'd be okay with this ending. She was an effing great character, who will be missed.

What do you think now after the last ep?

After I've read a bit more, also interviews and stuff, I'm not as angry anymore. I'm more disappointed about all the plot holes and loose lines and directions that I don't like. I suspect that I thought the death scene was so over the top was because it reminded me of so many similar scenes I saw or read that it threw me out of the scene.

I liked the last ep (though I could not even begin to summarized what happened, and I only watched it last night, lol) A bad memory is an intergral part of enjoying the show, I guess, because I'd never be able to even spot a plot hole. So there's that. But really, I'm in it for all the OTTness, the unashamed exploitation of male pysique and the drama. I loved Melissa setting her ex and his crappy parenting strategies straight while being on her death bed. And Stiles leaning on Lydia throughout the episode. Mr Agent just broke my heart, fist giving Scott a pep talk and later comforting Isaac. Ethan and Danny breaking up was the bitter-sweet cherry on top. I'll miss those silly kids already.....
