Chaos Comes to a Close

THE DIVINE MOVE

(The Stydia feels were VERY real this episode)

This episode, and the ENTIRE season, was so fantastically good. There are not even words to describe how wonderful and perfect this finale was. Never have I enjoyed an hour of television as much as I did for The Divine Move. Let's bite right in!!! (HAHa... bite...werewolves...)
We started off the finale with the gang trying to cope with Allison's death (I'm still struggling). Everyone was having issues, but Isaac was especially distraught. Chris comforted him and it was the most moving and emotional moment... A werewolf hunter hugging a werewolf, whole-heartily. Not only did Allison die, but Stiles was dying. They needed to take down the Nogitsune/Void Stiles and trap it in the container made of the nemeton wood in order to, hopefully, save Stiles' life. The twins were going to skip town and hide from all the chaos but Derek convinced them to stay and fight the Nogitsune. 
While everyone was preparing to fight, the Oni were going around town "capturing all the places on the board", referencing the Japanese game, Go. They attacked the police station, the vet, the school, and the hospital, which lead to this fabulously filmed and choreographed scene that had to BEST musical accompaniment. 

(BAMF tbh)

The Oni were straight up killing people and stabbing all of our favorite characters like Mama McCall, Sheriff Stilinski, the cute deputy, and Dr. Deaton. Their wounds were emitting a creepy black vapor that looked highly unhealthy.

Meanwhile, Chris and Isaac were still at the Argent's loft mourning. Through his sadness, Isaac figured out that Allison had discovered that silver can kill Oni, but only if it is in their body. Chris had come close to killing one as a youngster, but he shot the Oni's face and it survived. Chris and Isaac headed off to the school with Allison's remaining silver arrowheads to kick some Oni butt.

The rest of the gang arrived at the school only to open the door into a winter wonderland, otherwise known as Bardo, the place between life and death. 

The Nogitsune was there and he told Stiles that if he killed himself everyone else would live.  Scott was not okay with this and he started fighting the Oni like a pro with Kira. Everything was panic and scary because at the same time the twins and Derek were fighting Void Stiles and his Oni. Stiles was about to sacrifice himself until he realized that the whole "Bardo" nonsense was just a big trick, orchestrated by the Nogitsune Dream World. The gang was then able to get inside the school. Outside with Derek and the twins, Chris and Isaac arrived to kill the Oni fighting them. They were successful, except in the process of stabbing the final Oni Aiden was stabbed by the Oni's sword. With the Oni dead, Isaac ran into the school with the nemeton container to trap the Nogitsune. 

The gang finally found Void Stiles and Scott bit him, essentially changing his form. A fly flew out of Void Stiles' dying body that Isaac caught in the nemeton container, and then Void Stiles shattered into dust in the school hallway. 

EVERYONE WAS SAVED (except Allison and Aiden). Aiden's death, all though it didn't hurt me as much as Allison's, was very sad and touching. I really liked how it was more focused on the twins. We kind of forget that they are two different people. They are brothers and best friends and one of them died. I was emotional. 

Then, as it always is, there were teasers for season 4. Here's a list of them...

• Everyone is still dealing with Allison's death.
• Kira still feels out of place with the gang.
• Malia is enrolled in Beacon Hills High School and is getting private tutoring from Scott in Were- Transformation 101.
• Danny knows that Beacon Hills is a magical place with banshees and were- creatures running amok.
• Stiles is moving on with his life (hopefully).
• Derek had a dream, but it wasn't really a dream (this could be wrong, I was confused as to whether it was or wasn't a dream).
• The dream/not dream was of the Mexican hunters breaking into Derek's loft looking for the She-wolf. They were then all of a sudden gassed and attacked and out of the gas came the dreaded Creepy Kate. Although this time she's a were-jaguar, supposedly changed from the scratch that we thought killed her. 

(I hate you so much)

This episode was magically delicious and I'm very excited for season 4!!!! I'll still be here blogging over hiatus but not as frequently. So until then... HAVE A WOLFTASTIC BREAK!!!!!

MOONDAY

For the season finale???????...

YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Isaac Is EVERYONE'S Type

This episode hurt me in ways I did not expect... stupid INSATIABLE

(Before you say anything, yes I know, Allison died. I don't want this post to be about that so I will refrain from talking about it until a later date. I'm too confused/sad).

The episode started right where we left off. Two Stiles, one good/real and the other evil/Nogitsune. The evil Stiles stole Lydia and took her to Oak Creek. Lydia didn't want the gang to look for her because she knew someone was going to die. (They looked for her anyways). The Oni came by and checked that the remaining Stiles was a real boy, and he passed by receiving a good-ol' backwards 5. It was too close to dawn for the Oni to go searching for the Nogitsune so everyone had a little chill time. 

Noshiko decided to teach Kira how to play Go (the game Stiles and the Nogitsune were playing in Stiles' mind). Stiles took a nap at Scott's house while Scott watched over like a guardian angel. Agent McCall finally revealed why he left. When he was drunk and fighting with Mama McCall, he accidentally pushed Baby Scott down the stairs. Scott totally didn't even care. He was just like, "I still hate you the same. Not more, not less". Allison and Isaac were actually looking for Lydia but found her car instead. This lead to a very nice conversation between the two about whether or not they actually slept with each other or if it was demonic firefly lovin'. (It was them). The twins were being shot at by someone in the woods with wolfsbane bullets until Derek came to rescue them. (My prediction is Gerard. You know, the "MOUNTAIN ASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" guy).

When Stiles woke up he confessed to Scott that he was in a lot of pain and just maybe might be dying. Yay. Together, they went to the police station and Stiles and the Sheriff shared a beautiful Stillinski Hug. Also potentially important, the cute deputy told the Sheriff that he had been "drawn" to Beacon Hills *red flags being raised*. 

All in all, no one was attending school except Danny and Meredith, the crazy girl from Eichen House. She is a banshee and escaped Eichen House to help the gang. The Coach valiantly, and hilariously, protected Meredith from the Eichen House thugs/bullies. This allowed Scott and Stiles to rescue her and take her back to the McCall house. She tried to help them figure out where Lydia was and eventually she did by fake phone-calls and french(?). 

They gang all headed out to Oak Creek, but not before the Oni arrived. Lydia kept saying to the Nogitsune, "they're coming" and "they're here", but she wasn't talking about the gang. She was referring to the Oni. When the Oni were right about to kill the Nogitsune, he broke Noshiko's final tail and took the Oni under his control. The Nogitsune then had the Oni fight the gang. While Isaac, Kira, and Allison were fighting, Scott and Stiles went down to find Lydia. When they did she was very destraugt because she knew someone was going to die and she was right. An Oni was completely tearing up Isaac until Allison shot him dead away. There was a small victorious moment until she was viciously stabbed in the stomach. She died in Scott's arms. ( I will not say anymore... EXCEPT CHRIS' FACE AND THE SILVER ARROWHEAD AND MY HEART). 

(I MAY have painted my nails red in honor of Allison).

As you can see, I was emotionally unprepared for this death. I thought I could handle it but nope. Have a WOLFTASTIC week :,,(

I Don't Even Know

This episode was a game without rules. Yes, I'm talking about DE-VOID.

(I'm very tired right now and this will probably just be a long spew of sentences coming directly from my brain, a weird and wonderful place. Readers discretion advised.) 

I'm just going to hop right in, similar to what Teen Wolf did. The episode started off right where the last one ended, with the gang finding Stiles at Derek's loft. They tried to fight Stiles but he was swatting them away like flies (foreshadowing). Chris got into the position where he could've shot Stiles but then the Sheriff put his gun to Chris' head and they had a Mexican standoff. Before anything happened Stiles was all like, "protect me, my friends". The Oni appeared and fought the gang until both the Oni and Stiles disappeared. 

The Oni were called off by Noshiko, who was chillin' in the Eichen House basement. Stiles transported/ran REALLY fast to the Eichen House to chat with Noshiko. And by chat, I mean he stole her last tail, stabbed himself with it, and then had flies zoom out of HIS OPEN WOUND!!!!  It was pleasant to say the least.

The flies went out and possessed all the werewolves except Scott, who had smartly closed his window during his ADORABLE snuggle time with Kira. The flies made the wolves angry/horny, as seen by Isaac and Ethan. Both were very angry while having "fun" at the same time. Lydia was drivin' 'round town with a GPS (a la Forget You) that she thought was on because it was giving her directions. Turns out it was her mind showing her where Stiles was. They found him and brought him to Scott's house where Dr. Deaton paralyzed him with Kanima venom. Stiles told Melissa that he knew 'the secret' and she duck tapped his face right up. 

Meanwhile, Isaac, Ethan, and Aiden were at the school having a good ol' fashion WWE (WereWolf Entertainment) fight. They were killing each other until Allison and Kira showed up and went all PowerPuff on their butts.

Girl Power!! Assemble!!!

Derek was also riding the crazy train and tried to burn Chris alive. The pictures of this from the episode are really funny taken out of context. 

"Happy Birthday Son!! I'm so happy you're turning one!!!"

Back at the McCall House, Lydia called on Peter to help the gang de-void Stiles. He told Scott and Lydia to go inside Stiles' mind and so they did. It is a very crazy place.

Inside Stiles' mind Lydia and Scott got separated by the Nogitsune. They broke free from it's trance and ended up in the nemeton room. Sitting on the nemeton stump was Stiles and the Nogitsune playing a friendly game of I Don't Even Know (was it a form of chess?). Scott roared for Stiles, which got his attention because he is in his pack as Lydia pointed out. Stiles then knocked the whole game over and made the Nogitsune angry.

The wolves that had been possessed fell asleep before they could do any real damage, and Scott and Lydia woke up from Stiles' mind. (Prepare for weirdness) Stiles then started puking up bandages, only for a body to begin rising out of them. It looked like the Nogitsune but when they pulled the bandages off, it was (presumably) normal Stiles. They turned around only to find that the Dark Stiles had taken Lydia and ran away. But how do we REALLY know which Stiles is which????

I'm going to go take a nap, seeing as I feel like this. Have a WOLFTASTIC week!!!!!!!

Chocolate + Japanese Proverbs = True Love

So sad... yet so beautiful..... THE FOX AND THE WOLF

This episode was wonderful and heart-wrenching and made me sad. It easily ranks in my top five favorite episodes, mainly because I'm a sucker for flashback episodes. Soooo.... let's talk!!!

We started this episode off with the funniest joke of the season. The Nogitsune asking someone, "What has a neck and no head?" and then ripping their head off. Haha.. Nogitsune humor...
But then we actually started the episode with Stiles looking for Noshiko's (Kira's mom) tails. He couldn't find them and instead tried to choke Kira's dad. Noshiko, Kira, and Scott came to help and saved him with mushroom stuff(?). Malia had given Scott the photo that was found with the Nogitsune's body. He showed Noshiko and she revealed that it was her and her lover, Rhys, in the photo. She also explained that she is around 900 years old (time lord). She then launched into her flashback story about how SHE had conjured the Nogitsune. While she was story telling, Noshiko was also reassembling a sword that they would use to kill the Nogitsune. 

FLASHBACK

During WWII there was a Japanese Internment Camp called Oak Creek. Noshiko was held there and often stole supplies for the people in her housing unit. She was secretly in love with one of the army medics, Corporal Rhys. They visited each other and were adorable. Everything was fine until the camp was struck with pneumonia. There was not enough medicine because the camp doctor had been selling the drugs on the black market. People were dying very quickly and the one's still alive got very angry. When the doctor came back to the camp the prisoners started rioting. It was all fairly peaceful until an officer hit an old woman in the face. That said woman was a werewolf and when she got hit she started to tear everyone apart. She burned Rhys and everyone started shooting. Many people were shot and killed, but Noshiko's body fought to keep her alive. The officers were going to dispose of the bodies and pretend nothing had happened. Noshiko, in her weakness, called on her ancestors for a Nogitsune to possess her body and stop the officers, but Nogitsune's are tricksters. Instead of possessing Noshiko, it took over Rhys' dead body and started killing everyone. Finally, Noshiko had to kill the Nogitsune with the help of the old woman/werewolf. The Nogitsune's spirit was contained in a firefly that Noshiko buried in the Nemeton. (Side note.... WHO THE HECK CHOPPED DOWN THE NEMETON?!?!?!?!??! That was one big tree... Was it Paul Bunyan???) 

When Scott, Allison, and Stiles sacrificed themselves, it released the Nogitsune from its prison. Noshiko then told them that the only way to get rid of the Nogitsune and save Stiles is to kill him.

Also in this episode we saw that the Sheriff released Derek and Chris from jail. The Sheriff told them that Stiles' brain scan is exactly the same as Stiles' mom's was. The three men, plus Allison, decided to look around town for Stiles. They went to the hospital where the Sheriff and Allison had a heart-breaking moment that was very realistic and human. During this we got confirmation that Isaac is indeed still dying (NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). The gang then went to Stiles' room where they found the chess board with all the labeled pieces; the most important being King Derek. They eventually found Stiles at Derek's loft just waiting for them. 

This episode was amazing and Arden Cho is awesome. Have a WOLFTASTIC week!!!!

P.S. THIS WAS TERRIFYING.

Bangerz Review

"I'm the part of the bird that's not in the sky. I can swim in the ocean yet still remain dry." Everyone can hear me while I die... in the ECHO HOUSE!!!!

This episode was 80% filler but yet it was filled with such creepy and wonderful things. It reminded me a lot of "Motel California" without being anything like "Motel California" (if that makes sense). It was a fine episode but not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination. So without any further ado... Let's get to cracking!!

We started this episode with Stiles checking himself into the Eichen House (aka the insane asylum that Barrow was located). The Nogitsune was poisoned inside Stiles and therefore Stiles had control of his mind, but only for a few days. The Sheriff was very worried (x100000) and didn't want Stiles there but Stiles knew he had to lock himself up to protect everyone else. As expected with the Eichen House, all sorts of shiz commenced. Here's a list (I like lists)...

1. Someone committed suicide the second Stiles arrived.
2. Stiles' roommate, Oliver, was being restrained.
3. There was a girl, Meredith, who was talking into a turned-off phone. She was trying to warn whoever she was speaking with about 'them', saying "one of them is right behind me". Right behind her was Stiles (and Oliver...).
4. Malia, our coyote friend, was also at the Eichen House. She punched Stiles and when the guards pushed him to the ground Stiles saw into the basement.  He recognized it as the place he was caught in in "Riddled".
5. Morrell was a councilor at the Eichen House, even though I was almost POSITIVE that she was dead. She told Stiles that he can't sleep, and when the Nogitsune takes over she WILL kill Stiles.

Alright, enough listing... Stiles really wanted to get into the basement and so he employed Malia to help him. She wanted to be a coyote again and Stiles promised he could help her with that. They stole the keys to the basement but Stiles was unsuccessful getting into it. He was caught and given sedatives, which launched him into the Nogitsune Dream World. In the dream, Stiles was in a locker and yelling "LET ME OUT!!!!". Meanwhile, the Nogitsune was on the other side yelling "LET ME IN!!!!" *shivers*. Thankfully, Malia came and saved him and they escaped to the basement. 

Instead of doing productive things in the basement, Malia and Stiles tried to make a coyotsune (haha). People on the internet have been feeling some violent emotions towards this, but to be honest, I really don't know how I feel. I'm only disappointed that Stiles is no longer a virgin... whatever.

After their fun, Stiles and Malia found the body of the Nogitsune and a picture of him/her with it. Stiles seemed to recognize him/her and wanted to get the picture to Scott immediately but instead he got tasered by Oliver. The Nogitsune had possessed Oliver and made him restrain Malia and Stiles. He was then ordered to begin drilling into Malia's head unless Stiles let the Nogitsune in. Stiles let him in, and let me say DARK STILES IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

I think we can assume that Stiles left after that, as did Malia. She left the Eichen House to look for Scott.

Meanwhile, NO ONE WILL FEEL SAD ABOUT KILLING STILES BUT ME APPARENTLY!!! Chris basically told Derek that he would kill Stiles if he needed to. Also, the creepy Hispanic lady that held Derek and Peter captive was back. She wanted to talk to Christophe about honor and other sorts of crap. 

Dr. Deaton told the gang about a scroll that most likely contained info on how to get rid of the Nogitsune in Stiles. They figured it would be in Silverfinger's finger and decided they needed to steal it from an armored car. When they got to the car the big, mean werewolf that belonged to Silverfinger was there. He was beating everyone up, including the adorable deputy. Thankfully, the twins took him down and retrieved the scroll. They read it and discovered that Stiles needs to change his body to expel the spirit. Of course Scott was all like, "When can I bite him?!?!?!?". NEEEEVVVVEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

This episode was a big whatever for me. It wasn't life changing or breaking for me, although I thought the music was exceptionally well. Have a WOLFTASTIC week!!!!!!!
