I don't even think this one's a pun; I think it's just a spelling error

Thoughts.  I have a lot of 'em.  They're not particularly well-organized, but I'll try not to repeat too much from my last rant.  And I swear, I'll lay off Scott.

~Somewhere on tumblr there's references to TW and Dylan turning us Victorian, thrilled for a glimpse of ankle.
I resemble that remark. :-D

I know, right? We've seen everyone else on the show pretty much naked, but Dylan gets sopping wet and we're all freaking out. "HIS CLOTHES ARE SO CLINGY! I CAN SEE HIS BARE FEET!" I love what the tv.com recapper said:

"This white-room sequence was a stunner because it was silent (no music or dialogue) and very beautifully filmed, but also everybody was wet, including Stiles who finally came out of the closet as sorrrrrta buff. You know? Like we all kinda suspected he was, but now it was undeniable. Sorry Stiles, we're onto you!"

WHY is everything about Jennifer about how she looks?

I THINK (though this may be giving the writers way too much credit) that this was a theme about identity that went so underdeveloped that it ended up being, well, really fucking stupid. And I think she went crawling to the stump as Jennifer and not the Darach because of purely practical filming reasons. It was easier not to put makeup on her, and I don't think she could talk very well while wearing it. However, it came off as though she was using the last of her magical ability to stay pretty.

1. If they use that to get rid of the jeep, you won't be able to find any tables to flip, I will have ruined the world with my newly discovered Sith powers.

I think our collective rage will flatten whole cities.

2. Bat + Physics= ? Should that have worked?

Nope. Not unless the entirety of the structure could be held up at a single lode-bearing point. But, y'know, werewolves. And it gave us a Stilinski tackle-hug, so I'm prepared to allow it. Just pisses me off that they benched Stiles for basically the WHOLE FUCKING EPISODE and did it in a really stupid way.

~Tumblr called him the Demon Smurf. As far as I'm concerned, that makeup deserves it.

YES YES YES. I was trying to think what it was he looked like, but you're absolutely right: paint that shit blue and you've got the Demon Smurf.

Why does the True Darach Face come with an entirely different outfit? Darach Barbie?

Ha ha, I don't know, but she's worn it ever since she was revealed as Jennifer. Just gotta show that cleavage... which apparently went completely undamaged in the NEAR-FATAL WEREWOLF ATTACK.

WHY did we get jump cuts to the fight in the boiler room?

That confused me, too, but both, I think, were forms of penance for Derek -- getting filleted by Boyd and Cora was for Erica's death, Derek's failures as an alpha, etc. and getting smashed up against the wall by Jennifer was for allowing himself to be tricked by her.

Were we supposed to believe that in there somewhere Jennifer was regretful about using/losing Derek? You say it, but I missed it completely.

I was referring two one or two lines she said in the elevator in the hospital episode. And Haley Webb said in an interview that she thought some of Jennifer's feelings for Derek were genuine. But you're right, it wasn't really ever SHOWN.

They have great cell reception in BH.

Reminds me of that episode of The X Files where Mulder gets perfect cell service in a buried box car in the middle of the desert. And THAT was 1995.

I guess he didn't get Derek's alpha powers? Where did they go? Split up between him and Cora? Cancelled out?

From what Peter said to Derek, it sounded like the "spark" was used up in the healing process, but I wouldn't be surprised if it transferred to Peter. The healing idea makes more sense to me, since it's like energy being sacrificed (pardon the use of the word), but if it disappears and there's no alpha, Cora and Derek are technically omegas. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get an explanation, but I like the idea that Peter was an alpha in his own mind all along.

thanks for letting me play in your yard for a while. you can totally come over for juice box anytime you want. :-)

Thanks for coming over to play! I like to discuss these things with someone other than the voices in my head.
