I really haven't been able to sit down and give my thoughts on "Currents" because my mind is so freaking scattered, it's ridiculous. Overall, I really did love this episode. For me, it was definitely one of the best this season, after Chaos Rising. I'm still not quite ready to talk about the "death" of a certain character, because it's really frustrating. The writers weren't joking when they said the death toll would be much higher this season. Jesus Christ...

Holy FRAKK Batman! What an episode! Is Jeff Davis on Crack right now or something! Why is every episode so fantastically big that if makes you want to break down and cry in the fetus position all night! I mean come on "Supernatural" at least some times has funny episodes to take away from all the seriousness, does Jeff Davis sit and go. HMM... How can I make every single audience member break down into tears... ah ha.. Kill Boyd!!! I am a genius, screw you Spencer Reid #Jeff Davis created Criminal Minds. SCOTT | OH MY GOD! Brady Brown said it in sort of one word perfectly #truealpha His concern for Deaton was touching, and watching him look up at the only father figure he had ever known (#ThingsStilessays) feeling helpless to save him and thinking he was gonna die. That moment also broke my heart. Until -- SHERIFF STILINKSKI & MELISSA McCALL | I really have to say I think the Sheriff and Melissa get the unsung hero award tonight. Melissa for essentially risking her job to save Danny at the beginning of the episode and stepping up when all the doctors went all missing. Sheriff S for showing up last second and his awesome pun intended one liner. "Scott, let me give it a shot." Was an amazing moment for the Sheriff where he actually gets some pay off instead of being confused all season. But as mentioned in the episode it's not his fault. Every single moment Scott and Stiles prepare to tell him I tell myself FINALLY!!! I knew it was too good to be good! STILES and LYDIA | I loved the moment where Stiles "sort of" stands up for Lydia in the coaches office. Off topic note it seems weird to me that there are two doors in the office. I loved that she started drawing the Tree and I'm positive it means something and Stiles was just clueless. Lol. I saw in a recent Holland interview that something "big" will happen soon that Stydia fans will love. But not this episode. I think the Sterek fans will go crazy. That moment at the end where Derek cries and Stiles puts his hand on his shoulder. It was weird but I found myself think dude Lydia's right there.. Lol. The ARGENTS | I feel sort of like not enough happened to give them separate lines. I love Chris and Jr, I didn't hate Allison this episode as much as last either. I loved her attitude towards Scott's whoopsy as well. Lol. I wish all girls were just like. Oh. Your in the mood. Let's make out. That will help right. GERARD!! Why can't you just die all ready... DANNY | Does deserve his own line. Just as we think were starting to get somewhere with Lydia. Now we have to figure out what the hell Danny is as well. Who throws up a mistletoe? What is he. One of Santa's Elves? I think maybe we may be getting more Danny like we had hoped. The scene with Stiles trying to convince Danny he's dreaming and that he should take responsibility was so funny. ISAAC | The moment with him, Melissa and Scott was another touching moment. The way she yell's "BOYS" made it really feel like she was yelling at both her sons I'm really hoping she adopts Isaac at some point. I want her to marry Sheriff Stilinski and Melissa, Scott, Sheriff S, Stiles, and Isaac could live happily ever after as a family. Plus the way Isaac delivers his Opps I may of been on watch last line. Was the funniest moment for me. BOYD and ERICA WTF!!! I'm so heart broken. I'll admit Boyd was never someone I really got attached to but his death was still heartbreaking to watch. Especially with the Erica flashback. I couldn't get at first why Cora was so upset than I realized she was locked up with Boyd a lot of that time as well. DEREK and JENNIFER Jennifer was super annoying during the fight scene I was like oh my god, shut up! Watching Derek actually start to cry though over Boyd's death was like the nail in the coffin for me. You know shit is on when Derek Hale start's to cry. I'm really interested to see what happens between Jennifer and the twins next. If they will return to school. I wonder if Jennifer will just be all like okay class, like nothing happened. Before she just knew about Derek. Now she knows it involves Stiles, Lydia, and Isaac. Now she's in the know. So I feel like she's someone who will also be forced to become more involved. ALPHA PACK (ETHAN) | KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL!!! as Gerard would say! Especially Ethan, we finally start to think oh he's at least a little redeemable. He helps in killing Boyd! Now you die like the rest! But I do know he was kind of forced too. So deep down I'm still torn.

MY THOUGHTS ON "VISIONARY": - Slower episode, BUT SOME BACKSTORY AND ANSWERS, so it's alllll good. - Paige you were way better than Kate, like why did you have to go and get bitten. - I feel like this whole flashback sh*t was a lie and Kate's gonna be alive somewhere, idk everyone felt like lying for some reason. - Deaton and Morrell... there's that. - UGH, ENNIS, I THOUGHT YOU DIED I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU. - GERARD, YOU'RE THE REASON DEUCALION IS APES*T ABOUT EVERYTHING AND HAS A HOMICIDAL AGENDA, LIKE GAWD YOU RUIN EVERYTHING. - HE. KILLED. HER. TO. SAVE. HER. *dead* - Finally some eyes explanation, thanks so much Mr. Davis - I don't get why Jeff Davis likes killing teenagers in this show, idk weird fetish maybe? - He sees as a wold... kay. - no Lydia, wtf. - WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK WAS THAT PROMO, I MEAN I HAD ALREADY SEEN IT, BUT GOOD GAWD I CAN'T EVEN.

Visionary Like mentioned before the episode was slow which I was complaining about but I wanted more old school Teen Wolf not so much depressing Flashback story, but I do love Derek, and loved the actress who played Lucy -- I can't believe we all didn't connect the dots on why Jackson, Peter and Derek eye's glow Blue instead of the bright yellow we see with Scott, Isaac, Erica and Boyd. -- Like Brady said No Lydia but next week is gonna be all Lydia centric So I suppose it makes up for the lack of her. I also read somewhere that "Lydia is going to take care of Stiles concerns about being a virgin, in regards to the ritual sacrifices" so I really hope that means what I think it does for Stiles. Lol.

Goddamn you, Jeff Davis. MY THOUGHTS ON "THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH"
- Just gonna get it out of the way: I'm really disappointed that Jennifer was the one to be reveal as the Darach. I don't know, I was really hoping they would have gone a different route with that, but the trailer for next week looks like she's going to actually get some development next week, and I'm excited for that. - Going off that, I'm seriously dreading having to read all of the "I TOLD YA SO" sh*t from Stereck fans. - Lydia's a banshee... not that shocking, tbh. BUT DAMN SHE CAN SCREAM. - Allison and Issac, please JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY DAMN. - Chris Argent was PRETTY AWESOME. - Cora, you cool and all, but goddamn stop getting in fights BECAUSE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO LOSE. - PAPA STILINSKI, GOOD GOD PLEASE LIVE. - Wtf, a piano string is a pretty interesting/f*cked up way to die. - BIGGEST. CLIFFHANGER. OF. THE. SEASON. - please hurry up, Monday, and please, Jeff Davis, give Jennifer some good stuff to work with (possibly even redemption because her and Derek were like awesome, imo.)

3x09 - "The Girl Who Knew Too Much" Probably one of my favorite episodes of the season, so far. There were a lot of character moments in this episode that really stood out to me. First and foremost, the scene between Scott and Lydia was SOOO amazing. Not just because I ship the hell out of them, but because we don't see them interacting, one on one, very often. We get a ton of group stuff with them, Stiles and Allison, but the two of them together in that little scene really got me. I'd definitely put it on my Top Five favorite scenes of TEEN WOLF.
Also, the character of Ethan is continuing to get more and more interesting, while Aiden really takes a back seat. The more aggressive brother, so far, is a pretty one-note character, while Ethan is getting explored more fully. Hopefully we see both of them growing together, since we know they'll be coming back for season 3b. Dethan is also something that makes Ethan's character stand out for me. I love the scene they had in this episode. I'm really for the idea that Ethan's feelings for Danny are becoming more and more real, and that he'll have to eventually stand up for him if Aiden or any of the other alphas threaten Danny. I'm looking forward to that!
Stilinski family feels in this episode were the worst thing ever. God. I really don't need Stiles to be without his father. Not because the dead parents/orphan trope on this show is already getting pretty old (which it is), but because their relationship is really a great emotional driving aspect of the show, along with Scott's relationship with Melissa. I hope both of those relationships stick around. Because Melissa and the Sheriff have to get together in the end. Duh. haha!! Sheriff Stilinski FINALLY knows about werewolves, and then he gets taken at the end. I really hope he's okay. I mean, I think Linden Ashby tweeted something about him on the Teen Wolf set recently, so we can assume he survives season 3A, but you never freaking know with Jeff Davis. Eaddy Mays has showed up a few times after her death, so yeah...
The reveal of Lydia as a banshee. I mean, I we all pretty much knew what she was for a long time, it was less of a reveal and more of a confirmation. But still, I like it. I wouldn't mind to see her abilities become a bit more active, as hopefully she'll learn how to control them and be able to find a murder scene before the murder actually happens, which is what that whole Scott/Lydia scene was all about. In general, we got a lot of good stuff out of Lydia this episode. I was kind of expecting a bit more, but I can't really complain because the episode was really good.
I'm glad Boyd's death was touched on a bit more in this episode. We got to see, not only Cora attempting to take revenge on Aiden, but also we got to see Lydia mentioning Boyd to Aiden. I liked that because up until this point, we didn't get any explanation as to why Lydia is still fooling around with Aiden even though he's part of the alpha pack. I mean, Lydia told Cora in a previous episode that she thinks she can "handle" dating a werewolf, when her last boyfriend was a homicidal lizard, but that's a bullshit excuse and it really kind of confused me. But, now that Lydia has seen Aiden murder someone. Not someone random, but some one she actually knew. I don't think her and Boyd were friends in any sense of the word, but she knew that he was a part of the group; she recognized him as an important member of the "pack," and that was really great to see.
Boyd's death, and that of Erica as well, has been treated a little poorly, and while I know Jeff Davis wants to "move the plot forward" and doesn't like staying on one subject for too long, I think this show would benefit from a little breather. A few small details and explantations on certain aspects of the story wouldn't kill the excitement. It might actually give us more insight into the characters; something to let the audience know you care about the characters, and if you are going to put them through trauma time and time again, that you are allowing them to learn and grow from it, because trauma does not equal character development, but that's an issue of Teen Wolf that I have had for a while (especially when it comes to the character of Derek Hale).
Speaking of Derek, I feel so bad for him. I mean, he has had the worst life imaginable and it's just not getting any better. I won't talk about him for too long, because he wasn't in the episode for that long, but I do want to mention the scene he had with Cora. We haven't gotten many scenes of those two together and that's been a bit disappointing as well. I mean, he discovers that his little sister is alive after thinking she was dead for six years and they've had like... 3 scenes together since she was introduced. Only one of them really gave us any insight into their relationship as siblings. I think this goes back to the writing and what Jeff Davis thinks would ruin the show. I think I speak for most of the fans when I say that if plot ridiculously overshadows character, or vice versa for that matter, viewers will eventually stop caring. I don't think the imbalance in Teen Wolf has done that to me just yet, because it does give us those character moments from time to time, but I'm getting a bit nervous in that area.
Jennifer was amazing in this episode. I've always really liked her character and didn't think I would appreciate it if her character was revealed to be the Darach, but now that it's happened, I LOVE it so much! It makes her character a lot more interesting and I just love it. Haley Webb was brilliant in this episode. Evil suits the hell out of her and I can't wait to see more of her in the coming episodes. I'm really hoping she comes back for 3B, because I don't want her character to end up dead. If they can still have freaking Peter Hale around, they can keep Jennifer Blake, dammit!
But okay... am I missing anything? I won't even talk about Cora because she'll probably end up dead and it pisses me off. So yeah. I'm done with this review. Overall, a really great episode of Teen Wolf. One of the better episodes of the season/series, in my opinion. Next week looks even more insane!

are they splitting the season up? figured they would, like Sy-Fy did with "Eureka" and "Warehouse 13", but do we know how LONG the gap between halves will be?

Season 3b premieres on January 6, 2014. So, about a four-month gap, which is a lot better than the 10 month break we usually get. The cast just started shooting the next half of the season a few days ago.

#SAVETHEGUARDIANS MY THOUGHTS ON "THE OVERLOOKED" - Jennifer Blake is a BAD-ASS. - Mama McCall is a BAD-ASS. - Jennifer Blake is a deceitful piece of sh*t, BUT AWESOME ANYWAYS - Stiles crying at the beginning... I can't. - GAWD, I STILL THINK PETER IS AWESOME. - Cora, don't die, like please, because I was just starting to really like you. - Allison and I are cool now especially when she whipped that bow out, but it's mainly like cool by association because Chris Argent is a BAMF. - Kali... ugh, KALI YOU RUIN EVERYTHING. - Glad we know why Paige was around then. - Isaac is HILARIOUS. - Boyd and Erica, I miss you both like nobody's business, but you guys were sooooo wrong about that eclipse. - WHAT IS WITH THE TORTURING OF THE PARENTS ON THIS SHOW, MR. JEFF DAVIS? THAT ENDING KILLED ME. - That ending was craaaaaazy. - *deceased*

OH! Regarding the trailer for next week:
Am I the only one that thought STILES was the one in the ice tub?! I don't know if my mind was just playing tricks on me or what, haha.
I saw that too. The first time I saw it I was like WTF...was that Stiles. And then when I get to see the second time, it was Stiles. Allison holding him in the tub. With Scott with Decalion, I wonder how Stiles got those "yellow eyes"? Or is that Issac? I'm confused on that part. As for "THE OVERLOOKED" -Anytime there's a storm used as plot device, there's trouble brewing for the main characters. -Poor Derek, he lost that teen girl he loved when he was young back in Visionary and now this girl (Jennifer) is literally a monster. -Speaking of Jennifer, that girl is a freak. She knew how to tweak Derek's emotions and as well Stiles'. And now seeing it's because of Kali, that Jennifer or whatever her name wants to get rid of the Alphas. -You go MamaMcCall! She gave the Alpha twin beast a shock to their system. -Scott and Peter teaming up. I never thought that happened, and then it happened. -Allison, Issac, and Chris helping along the way. I like how Allison conceived a plan to use herself as bait knowing she sort of looks like Jennifer. The Alphas got confused and took the bait. -Once again the slippery Darach/Jennifer escapes alongside kidnapping Melissa. -Nice to see how Stiles figured out Guardian is actually the parents. Scott figured out but it was too late. -Now Scott has to work with Decalion to rescue Melissa and the Sheriff from the Darach. -This whole episode's meaning is literally "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"

So I haven't watched "Overlooked" just yet, but my girlfriend has this crazy theory, that Jennifer and Paige are the same person. I know Paige died when she was a teen and all but the more I thought about it the more it seems at least possible. I mean Peter died and came back to life, Lydia was bit back in season one but managed to heal herself and she became a Banshee herself maybe it's the same with Paige/Jennifer only her bite was worse, and Jackson became a Kenema, died twice and than came back as a werewolf. So death doesn't always mean the end on Teen Wolf.

Well that was a pretty good mid-season finale... up until that end, which I hated by the way.
EDIT: Not hated, but strongly disliked. lol

It was a very predictable ending. I mean, I saw it coming since season 2. lmao! The fact that Peter Hale has killed, imo, the two best villains on Teen Wolf (Kate Argent & Jennifer Blake) just makes me want him dead even more.

In the way I knew how this was going to end. They said in a rumor that someone "in a clever way" will show signs of being the new baddie for season 3b...and look who it is. Peter Hale, why I'm not surprised. I knew he had to go back to being bad. Other points in "Lunar Eclipse", it's funny they misspelled eclipse if you seen the tweet hash tags there was one where it says #LunarEllipse. I don't know if it was supposed to be that way, but I think that was a funny typo.
I loved the flashbacks to season 1 where we saw how different Scott, Stiles, and Allison were from s1 to now. Awesmome to see that Scott is finally a Alpha, but now he has to deal with his father's return, Peter's comeback, and potential new supernatural threats. I can't wait until Jan. 6th when the next half begins.

It actually is supposed to be "Lunar Ellipse." I know, weird, but Jeff Davis likes to be clever like that. I think the opening sequence to this episode, and the closing sequence (not the final scene, the one before that) were my FAVORITE parts of the episode. The opening was just cinematic goodness! The way it was all shot, was just amazing. Loved the way they used flashbacks and connected all of those events. And the little 80s voiceover Scott had during the end, looking at his friends... that just made me smile so freaking much. Edit: Oh, and Jennifer Blake being badass was a treat. Loved her crash landing in Derek's loft.

My god, I loved "Lunar Ellipse" the teaser and how they went back to the first few moments of the show, I even went back after the episode and watched the scene in the pilot and Alison's car really does nearly hit Scott. Not sure if Jeff Davis had always planned on that not being a coincidence, or was just like "hmm what if.." It was nice to see Eaddy Mays again.
The montage at the end of the episode really was good, and i'm very hopeful now that Ethan and Aiden are part of Scott's "Pack" that we get to more from them, especially Aiden, we do get a lot of Ethan, I think... I'm still not sure if it was Aiden or Ethan who went to Lydia for help.
I liked how Scott looks at all his friends all in "couples" like Lydia & Aiden, Danny & Ethan, Alison and Isaac, than we just get Scott and Stiles, lol.
and F@CKING Peter, god! Just as I a little bit start to like you and think maybe you've changed and care about your family! Go die. Again...
