Teen Wolf- S3E5 "Frayed" - AKA Me Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

I really loved the content of this episode. A LOT. But I didn't like the style of the episode. I hated, okay maybe hate is too strong a word, disliked all of the flashbacks especially how jumbled and out of order they were. I don't want to feel like an idiot while watching Tenn Wolf but I had trouble keeping what was going on straight at first. I ( Read more... )

This is exactly how I felt about the episode. I actually liked the plot and the character development, but the flashbacks and the fact that there were flashbacks in the flashbacks was just fucking annoying and made it all seem fragmented and weird.

And don't get me started on the Derek-going-to-Jennifer thing, which makes no sense. Even if I liked the ship (which I don't) or liked her (which, again, I don't), it makes no sense because he's known to have trust issues and doesn't have any reason to trust her PLUS even if he's so much into her that it overrides his trust issues, he should know he's putting her in danger by associating with her. Like I just said to someone in the comments on my episode post, I understand that he didn't go to Deaton, but why not go to Mrs McCall, who's in the know about the werewolves AND a nurse (and thus, 200% more capable of treating his wounds than Jennifer).

I'm totally on board with the Scott/Isaac shipping as well. :D

I definitely agree that even if Derek trusted Jennifer for some unknown reason, I don't think Derek would want to put her in harm's way.

The only reason I can fanwank him not going to Deaton is if he possibly saw the Alphas there and couldn't go in. Deaton and Derek have a prickly relationship but Deaton would take care of Derek.

I thought about Scott's mom, too. Because, yeah, hello nurse. It's possible Derek wouldn't go to her because he's tried to let Scott live a relatively normal life for a while and might want to protect Melissa from danger. But being in dire straights I'd think he'd trust her far more than Jennifer.
