Teen Wolf Top 5: Episodes

The Teen Wolf series finale is upon us. Tonight at 8/7c on MTV, Scott and his pack fight their last fight, and I’m kind of sad about that. So, to ring in the last episode, let’s take a look at my top five episodes over six years of Teen Wolf. This was a really hard list to make, because while I was making it, I thought of a BUNCH of great scenes across all seasons. And some great scenes can definitely make good episodes, but they don’t always make the most memorably great ones.

But regardless here are the top five episodes of Teen Wolf I’d recommend to anyone. Spoilers within.

Teen Wolf Two-fer: Pressure Test (6.15)

Last week was double the Teen Wolf, one-and-a-half times the fun.

Teen Wolf Tuesday: Face-to-Faceless (6.14)

It’s still Tuesday somewhere, right?

This post may be a little late, but I’m just so happy. Teen Wolf is firing on all cylinders right now, and if it stays that way, 6B may just be the highlight of the series.

Teen Wolf Tuesday: After Images (6.13)

“Who’s the little fear demon? Come on, who’s the little fear demon?”

“Don’t taunt the fear demon.”

“Why? Can it hurt me?”

“No, it’s just tacky.”

-Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) and Xander (Nicholas Brendan), Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “Fear Itself”

I try not to compare and judge Teen Wolf to other supernatural teen shows, but I couldn’t stop the above Buffy exchange from jumping full-force into my brain while watching “After Images.”

Teen Wolf Tuesday: Raw Talent (6.12)

This episode is the closest to excellent Teen Wolf has been in a while. The things that dragged it down were small and relatively inconsequential, but in the same way grains of sand are just little things until they get in your shoe.

Teen Wolf Tuesday: Said the Spider to the Fly (6.11)

Welcome to the first of 10 Teen Wolf Tuesday posts — where I’ll spend the next 10 weeks delving into each of the last 10 Teen Wolf episodes the Tuesday after they air.

Red alert: Teen Wolf is back tomorrow!

This Sunday, Teen Wolf will air the first of its final 10 episodes, and if the trailer is anything to go by, it just might be a return to form. It looks like characters that have been gone for years are re-appearing and villains with ever-increasing levels of ridiculousness are being traded for a much more human threat.

Of course, I’ve been burned by Teen Wolf before. Frequently and recently

Odds and Ends: Or, what I’ve been doing all summer other than not writing blog posts

So, I’ve had a time of it. It’s been just over two months since my last post, and in that time I’ve lost a job, got a new job, packed up my apartment, made what felt like a half-dozen trips between Oklahoma and Kansas, exhausted the data on my phone twice and stared in utter bewilderment at the piles and piles and stuff I now have to find a new place for.

And somewhere in there I dug my heels in with my internet provider until we reached an agreement on acceptable pricing.

The point is: I haven’t been watching a whole lot or really doing much an anything that warranted posting over unpacking, sleeping or snuggling my cat.  But I’ve had internet again just long enough for some random observations about a few shows.

The Twitter Collection vol. 2

 

I intended to have a character study of Teen Wolf’s Peter Hale this week, but I don’t. And since I don’t want to break my post-a-week streak this early into the year, I’m reviving The Twitter Collection, a look at what you’re missing if you don’t follow @theLTtweet.

Given that it’s 2017, I’ve had the account since 2013 and have a grand total of 425 tweets, it’s probably safe to say you’re not missing much, but I’m trying to do more. For instance, sometimes I talk about the things I do not regret in the slightest.

TV Update: I am so far behind…

I was pretty hopeful when this season started that I’d be able to keep up with all my shows, but that hope was clearly misplaced. I fell behind pretty early, and things are just starting to come back from winter hiatuses — or in the case of Grimm, just getting going. But did I used that hiatus time to get caught up?

No. Instead I wrote some fanfic, went to work, watched a ton of Youtube videos (mostly of people skateboarding), binged on Microsoft solitaire games, had family Christmas, blogged a little and snuggled the most demanding of demanding snuggle buddies.

This is Buster.
