Yeah, Okay, I Watch This Show Now.

Let’s talk Teen Wolf - (I can’t believe I just typed those words). I just finished S1! It took longer than I thought, mostly because there were so many summer shows I watched this year, but also because this show does start out kind of slow. It is very teen soap opera (with werewolves!) at the start and it took awhile for me to get into it. But ( Read more... )

I'm going to really try to give Revolution a fair chance. I still need to watch the latest ep but it sounds like they're doing a solid job. I like Miles but am still a little freaked by the eeevil character he played in "Th Closer" (stupid, I know, but I am ignoring "Nashville" because Cy Tolliver/Powers Booth is in it. I'm hoping to get over that.)

Hearing that they're spending time on backstory makes me really want to hang in there with it.

I'm glad "Teen Wolf" is making you so happy :-)I haven't made it to that series yet, but it seems rich with fic fodder!

Revolution is not the greatest show and I am not head-over-heels about it, but it is solid, which is more than I can say for most shows in the early days of their freshman year. They really didn't waste much time on the blahblah-explanation of the world and the characters get a litle more interesting with each episode. I think that is the big draw for me - so many shows start out great and go downhill from there, but Revolution actually seems to be going uphill, so I'm sticking with it for now. The flashbacks were something they weren't going to do at first but decided to try. I really like them because I want to see more post-blackout stuff so I am onboard with all the flashbacks ( ... )

Let me tell you there is a certain amount of Stiles/Lydia/Jackson fic in the world. Obviously not as much as there is Derek/Stiles. If you only looked at fic, you'd think that Teen Wolf was basically the epic love story of Stiles and Derek. Scott would appear to be a very minor character, lol. I love you, fandom.

You know, from everything I saw in fandom, I started watching Teen Wolf expecting Derek and Stiles to spend copious amount of time together. I was surprised by how little time they do spend with each other. I mean, whenever they had scene together, they were great - (it's that opposites thing - it oddly reminds me of Eliot and Hardison on Leverage except with more wolves) - but I was just surprised by how they weren't like joined at the hip, like fandom had me thinking.

You would think, logically, that Scott/Derek or Scott/Stiles would be the main pairing. I, myself, have no interest in either of those pairings because I find Scott to be so boring. I think I am too old these days to get overly attached to a guy like Scott. I read Derek/Stiles but currently I just crave a lot of Stiles/Jackson, idk why.

I would read the FUCK out of Stiles/Lydia/Jackson. SO HARD.

I guess that's what happens when you read fic before seeing the source. I watched S1 last year and I was like "WHOAAAAA I SHIP THIS" when I saw Derek and Stiles' interactions, which often seem to involve a pretty high level of intensity (okay, sometimes it's violent intensity). Derek and Scott don't have that chemistry and Scott and Stiles are too cute and BFFy. I felt validated by fandom, lol. I am not a fan of the most popular ships in SPN fandom so this is a pleasant change for me. S2 only made it even more blatant. To the point that I find it hard to believe the Teen Wolf people when they say they didn't intend to make us all ship it.

I pretty much hate Jackson so I'm not really interested in reading about him unless Lydia is topping the hell out of him, hahaha. There is Stiles/Jackson out there but I haven't read any because I don't think douchebag Jackson deserves someone as awesome as Stiles.

I hadn't really read any fic before watching the show but I know all my friends were writing Derek/Stiles and talking about it and reccing fic for it, so I kind of got a different impression of things that way. But I remember the first scene Derek & Stiles have alone together (I think it was one where they are in Stiles' jeep - a lot of scenes happen in Stiles jeep, don't they?) and afterwards I told The BFF, "I hope Derek & Stiles have all the scenes together. They have more chemistry together than anyone else on the show." Then I was sadly disappointed when they did not have all the scenes together.

To the point that I find it hard to believe the Teen Wolf people when they say they didn't intend to make us all ship it.If they didn't at first, they sure as hell do now, right? Like, come on, those actors at the least know about us and know what they are doing to hit our buttons ( ... )

It is fail that I haven't seen this before now. I am fail. So much fail.

Derek's eyebrows! You know, I never paid them any attention until I started reading fanfic and now I can't stop staring at them. They are glorious.

Alpha now scene - hotness. Who knew glowing red eyes could be a thing? I sure didn't. And I notice Derek's hotness more on the rewatches - I need to get to know a character before they do anything for me, apparently.

Yeah, what's up with that? lol Mostly, tbh, I just blame everything about my love for Teen Wolf on you. Because I was debating getting into this show and then you did and I was all, "Well, if Wolfie did then I guess I should too," and then I fell down a deep dark hole we will call "The Hole Of Stiles' Stupid Face'. ;)

Derek's eyebrows! You know, I never paid them any attention until I started reading fanfic and now I can't stop staring at them. They are glorious.

How could you not notice them?! He uses them in all of his acting! It's like...Eyebrow-Acting - you can tell what kind of mood Derek is in based on what his eyebrows are doing.

Who knew glowing red eyes could be a thing?

Right? And also, be toppy more often, Derek - it suits you!

And I notice Derek's hotness more on the rewatches - I need to get to know a character before they do anything for me, apparently. Totally, me too. I mean sometimes I am attracted straight out the gate (Castiel ( ... )
