Teen Wolf Episode 10: Co-Captain Preview

[RoK]

Good points...however....

Spoiler:

In the preview for next week, Peter talks about turning Melissa. So, I don't see her as being a part of this. And you saw how easily she let Jackson on her computer station while she was logged in. Who knows who really sent that text to Allison.

And I do agree that...

Spoiler:

the vet is acting weird. However, I've not seen anything to implicate him in having involvement with Peter.

and as for...

Spoiler:

Peter's nurse...Derek slapped her into next month like a rag doll. So, I don't think she's a werewolf.

Anyone think that...

Spoiler:

Jackson will actually get turned? I know he's hell bent on getting turned. He sees being a werewolf as being glamorous and something to put him back on the top.

I think...

Spoiler:

That the vet has something to do with Peter or at least with the Hale family (with them being werewolves and all). I doubt he's acting this way for no apparent reason. Hell, he might even have something to do with the fire.

Also...

Spoiler:

As for other wolves, I'm fairly certain there are others in Peter's pack, besides Scott. Otherwise, how'd he really become the alpha? I know there was some sort of mental change going on and all. Do you think Derek's in his pack as well, considering that they're family and all?

From what I've seen...

Spoiler:

I think the Agrents are the ones who set the Hale's house on fire. If you remember in this past episode, Kate asked Allison what she would do if someone killed her family and such.

I agree that...

Spoiler:

there has to be more than just Scott in Peter's pack. I think, since Derek and Peter are brothers that it would make sense that Derek is in Peter's pack. Maybe the sister was the alpha, but upon her death...Peter became the alpha.

Where do you...

Spoiler:

think things will go with Jackson wanting to become a werewolf?

[RoK]

Actually, Peter is Derek's uncle, not his brother.

As for....

Spoiler:

Jackson wanting to become a werewolf, I'm not sure. My guess is that Peter will most likely turn him, unless he turns because of the scratch.

I guess in reality...all we can do is wait and see!

[LtColCarter]

Less than an hour until this week's Teen Wolf! The last three episodes of the season! But we have a 2nd season coming next summer!!!

[LtColCarter]

Yet again...Teen Wolf did not fail to impress...

Spoiler:

I love the look Scott gave that kid chanting "State, state, state at the beginning. If looks killed...that dude would be dead!

I didn't care for Derek in this episode...at least not until the end when he saved Scott's butt.

I guess Jackson is really blind to follow Derek...then when he gets to the mansion he realizes what is going on. For the most part, Jackson is an insufferable prick. But I did feel sorry for him there at the end.

Only two more episodes to go this season!

[Ibn Rushd]

Spoiler:

I was thinking more on last week and how it was probably the nurse who sent the text, not Mrs. McCall.

Do you think Derek was faking the thing tonight, or did he actually get turned by Peter Hale? And why did he change at the end to help Scott. And why was the vet nearby?

Now Allison is being introduced to the werewolf drama.

Spoiler:

I think that Derek was faking the whole thing, unless Peter actually turned him. Not positive though.

As for the vet, I'm thinking that he's working with Peter, or is actually a werewolf. Otherwise, why would he save Scott?

My only main question is, do you guys think Jackson will be turned by the season finale? Your thoughts.

I agree that it is...

Spoiler:

reasonable to assume that the nurse sent the texts to Allison.

I was wondering what you meant by

Spoiler:

Derek being turned by Peter. When I hear "turned" in a show with werewolves...I think of being turned into a werewolf. From what Derek said he and Peter were born into being werewolves. If you mean turned Derek against Scott...I'm not quite certain. There may be more at play here than has been revealed.

I wasn't sure

Spoiler:

what was going on with Derek. I was glad to see that he helped Scott at the end.

As for

Spoiler:

the vet, I don't think he's a werewolf. I think he just helps out the Hales when necessary. I have no proof of this...its just a gut feeling.

Oh yeah...Allison

Spoiler:

is getting brought into the werewolf fold full on. I wonder if she'll forgive Scott for running out on her and not coming back. He did ask her to stay...but she can only wait so long.

Teen Wolf episode 10 review: Co-Captain

Ron Hogan

Russell Mulcahy takes the helm again for the latest Teen Wolf episode. As Ron discovers, this is a very good thing.

Published on Aug 1, 2011


This review contains spoilers.

Spoiler:

10. Co-Captain

I gotta say, Russell Mulcahy and Jeff Davis have done some great work at the helm of the Teen Wolf reboot. Davis, with plotting out the first series so well and getting all the elements to come together at the right possible moment, and Mulcahy, with his incredible direction of crucial episodes of the series.

For example, this was a Mulcahy episode, and it was incredible. Mulcahy has a great way of framing the shots he uses, and he alternates between hanhandheld cameras and the Dutch angle expertly as he finds the right tone for the scenes playing on screen.

This week's episode was masterfully done, probably the best episode of the series just from a pure visual filmmaking standpoint. There weren't any wasted set pieces, the use of chiaroscuro throughout the episode was brilliant, and the show just seemed to keep moving the entire time, not even bogging down in the various Scott/Allison discussion segments.

As for Davis, well, this is the episode where you can see the conclusion to the first season starting to develop. All the little plot threads, from the vet to Derek's uncle to Allison and her family to Stiles the detective are all starting to come together, and that just increases my desire to get through the rest of the series, because I'm incredibly enthusiastic about just where this show is headed and I really want to see how it all plays out. Things are coming to a head, and best of all, it all seems to make sense.

So, what's going on in this week's episode? Only everything. Try to keep your wits about you, because this review is probably going to be excited and slightly confusing, because there's a lot of stuff this week, and I don't want to spoil everything by blathering on.

The lacrosse team made it to state, and Jackson has a deal for Scott: you turn me into a werewolf, I help you get Allison back. Of course, Allison has a will of her own, and after Scott returns the locket to her (that he stole last episode), she seems to be coming back around to his side of things. That is, until Scott bails on her to go off and rescue Jackson from Derek, who apparently has joined up with the alpha/his uncle and gone over to the bad side.

Except that it seems to me like Derek isn't a bad guy for real. He's just playing at it to get close enough to the Alpha to stop him before he turns Scott's mom into his werewolf wife. Meanwhile, Argent the father is stalking Jackson, thinking he's Scott, Sheriff Stilinsky is getting drunk and leaking crucial information to his son about the werewolf murders, and Allison is taking killing lessons and blowing up trees with Lydia.

There's a lot of stuff happening this week. The show is packed with plots, but it doesn't fall into the trap of being frantic. Instead, Co-Captain just offered up occasional reminders of things from previous episodes, rewarding the close viewer, without losing those who might not have been completely following along as closely as I have.

The pacing is perfect, with certain moments lingering and others simply slipping by without much fanfare. It seems, and I could be wrong, that the show is leaving no plot threads dangling without some sort of termination, which is just mind-blowing, considering how quickly some programs forget what they're doing.

I've marveled at this before, but this is definitely one of the better shows on television. Far from being a simple Twilight knockoff, there's suspense, romance, action, comedy, and even drama. Sure, it's teenage drama, but we were all teenagers once (or are teenagers currently), and just because a show or movie is geared towards younger folks doesn't make it terrible by default. Teen Wolf has been consistently excellent since episode 1, and I, for on,e am glad to see it's going to play out with such strong episodes.

Keep it up, MTV. You're winning me over.

Teen Wolf Episode 11: Formality Preview

And...another one...

http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/67801...tml#id=1668226

[RoK]

I have another theory on the vet, other than him being a werewolf.

Spoiler:

I think he might be a hunter, or an ex-hunter. With his knowledge about werewolves, he most likely fits into that part. Perhaps he took place in the burning down of the Hale house and is feeling remorse for killing the family (minus Derek and Peter), so he's working for Peter in hopes of making up for his actions.

It's just a thought. Perhaps these last two episodes will give us an answer.

[LtColCarter]

Wow...what an episode....

Spoiler:

Wow...the vet has me surprised! Peter broke that chair over his chest and the vet didn't even flinch. So, I wonder what the heck the vet is???

Interesting...it seems that Kate and Derek have a "past."

stalker Scott falls off of the roof!

gotta love Scott's persuasion techniques! I think Jackson was gonna pee himself!

Who knew that werewolves were clothing experts? I would've never guessed.

Well, crap...Kate figured out that Scott is a werewolf!

You can so tell that Allison doesn't want to be there Jackson. It seems that Jackson is back to being the self-absorbed idiot that he's been all along. Just when you think he's doing a turn around. And how the heck does he have the bottle of booze out in the open?? Where are the chaperones?

I loved it when Allison saw Scott creeping around on top of the school. She got a big 'ole smile on her face!

I loved Scott dancing with Danny. Scott made the coach look like an idiot...and pissed off Danny's date in the process!

Ok...now Jackson is being an idiot...walking in the woods with a werewolf out there. I'm assuming that its Peter. Or it could've just been Mr. Argent's laser on his rifle.

Oh hell no...Jackson told Argent about Scott. Now I really hate the idiot.

Stiles has some huge stones...going head to head with an alpha.

And now....Allison knows...

And I loved how the preview for next week said "Not everyone makes it out...

Spoiler:

human"

[Ibn Rushd]

I found some webisodes on the MTV site, but they don't play in Canada, so I found them on youtube. There are 6.

Spoiler:

Last night was awesome!

Spoiler:

Now Allison knows what he is. Judging from the finale four preview, she's not going to trust him anymore. And what's up with the vet? I believe the chair hit the wall beside him, not his chest. But he didn't flinch, so is he another alpha? Weird.

Jackson's a real prick, he gave away Scott's identity. And who's the bald guy who tortured Derek?

I'd like to know more about Derek and Kate's past. Apparently the fire was a joint effort? But we already knew that she was the one the chem teacher was talking about.

They will need way more than one ep. to wrap up all these ends!
