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!!!!!!!

Blood Fertilized Moss

"What's this bright green moss, you say?"

"...Just some LETHARIA VULPINA."

Can we start out this week by saying what a great actor Dylan O'Brien is? HE IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!! During this whole episode he was someone good taken over by someone bad pretending to be someone good... If you can wrap your mind around that one. In other words, he is fantastic. 

We started off this episode with Dr. Deaton in Japan. He was pretending to treat the pet wolf of the grandson of the dead Nogitsune (confusion), when in reality he temporarily paralyzed the wolf and the grandson (more confusion). He did this so he could steal the Letharia Vulpina that grew in the grandson's garden. To be more specific, it grew out of the blood of the late Nogitsune on the fountain where he was killed. Dr. Deaton took some to use as a poison for the fox inside Stiles.

We were then taken back to the hospital where there was a power cord descending on Kira. All sorts of death and electrocution occurred before Kira finally ninja flipped over to the cord and absorbed all its power. It was awesome. NOT awesome was when precious Isaac got electrocuted and now MAY DIE!!!!! Thankfully, Scott stopped to visit Isaac on the way to school and sucked away some of his pain <3. 

(badass)

At school, Scott and the twins had gym class and were about to go running when they heard one of Mr. Argent's emitters. They rushed to the basement where they found Stiles who claimed he really was Good Stiles. He knew he had caused all the death at the hospital but thought he might be planning something else, specifically something to do with the cross-country course (*gasp*). Stiles was right and the Coach got shot with an arrow (he will probably be fine). Scott helped again by sucking away some of his pain.

Meanwhile, Chris Argent returned home and sensed someone else was there with him.

(Paranoid yet sexy)

Turns out it's Derek looking for a party of adults!!! Just kidding, he was angry that he found an emitter in his loft. Chris also found the briefcase of money that belonged to Silverfinger in his room. Then right on time, another adult male appeared... Agent McButtface (sorry, I don't like him). McCall said that Silverfinger was dead and took Chris and Derek in for questioning. They figured it must have been Stiles who did all this but get taken to the police station anyway.

At the school they are facing even more problems. They believe that Stiles left a bomb on the school bus, disguised as a birthday present. Low and behold, Jared (puked on a bus in episode 305) has a present on his lap on a bus. After an EXTREMELY handsome policeman opens the present and reveals that it only contains Sheriff Stilinski's name plaque, the Sheriff realizes that the real bomb is at the police station. Chris and Derek are there when it explodes, but thankfully Derek saves them both. The other policemen aren't as lucky and many die. Scott takes away one man's pain up until the moment he dies. 

Now remember how Kira's mom is supernatural? Well, this episode we learned that not only is she a Kitsune, but she also has multiple tails that when snapped create Oni. She used up most of her tails to create stronger and more powerful Oni, and sent them to battle Stiles. Scott and Kira fought them off but not before Scott got stabbed in the stomach. Kira was about to pull it out when Stiles suddenly stopped her and knocked her out. Stiles then proceeded to TWIST THE SWORD AROUND SCOTT'S INNARDS. Apparently, Stiles had been evil the entire episode and he showed Scott by eating up all the pain Scott had sucked away earlier. It was very disturbing and wonderfully acted. And then Dr. Deaton showed up, fresh off his flight from Japan, and stabbed Stiles with the poison. 

The only other noteworthy news from Letharia Vulpina is regarding Lydia and Peter. Lydia went to Peter for help with her banshee powers. He explained that her scream is what helps her to hear what she needs to hear (ex. The electricity buzzing in Galvanize). In return, Peter asks Lydia to try to hear a stolen memory of Peter's that Talia took. She eventually hears a baby crying/woman giving birth, implying that Peter is a father. Lydia and Allison figure it is Malia, but who really knows. Also, does this mean the mother is Talia?? That would explain why Malia is a coyote and not a wolf. When incest occurs so do genetic defects... Or if he had her with a human and now Malia is half-wolf... I DON'T KNOW. 

Sorry, that was just my brain speaking... Have a WOLFTASTIC week!!!!!! :D

P.S. Sorry if my tenses don't stay the same in the post. I try really hard and almost always fail and give up. Don't shoot me.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

My mind is full of riddles after... RIDDLED!!!!!!

Soooo... This week's shiz storm started off with a sleepwalking Stiles calling Scott in the dead of the night. Stiles calls saying he is in a basement with his foot caught in a trap. It is the coldest night of the year (20 degrees... REALLY TEEN WOLF!!!!?!?!??) and Stiles thinks there is someone with him. Scott screams and shouts (and let's it all out) to wake up Isaac so they can go searching. They head to Stiles' house at the same time as Lydia and Aiden, who had been in the school working on art/sexy things when Lydia heard voices. They meet in Stiles' room where they discover Stiles' own art project; taking all his red yarn, tying it to a pair of scissors, and stabbing them into his bed. Baffled, Scott and Isaac head to the police station to tell Sheriff Stilinski what has happened while Lydia and Aiden stay behind. The police find Stiles' car at the hospital and after sniffing around Scott concludes (with the help of Derek) that Stiles was in fact there and stressed out, but left. Back at the house, Lydia discovers that she can hear voices when she plucks the strings, which leads her to believe that Stiles is in the basement of the mental hospital that Barrow was committed. They all rush there but find nothing (although the viewers see what the gang missed; the symbol for "self" scratched into the wall). Agent McCall uses his big boy brain and figures out that Stiles is still sleeping and just THINKS he's in a basement, when in reality he is in the coyote cave (what happen to that story line?). They save the poor screaming Stiles and send him straight to the hospital.

The whole time Stiles was in a cave, he truly believed he was in a basement with a bandaged man with creepy , steel teeth. The man is (I believe) the Nogitsune inside Stiles' mind. The Nogitsune is sneaking around, speaking in Japanese and riddles, and referring to a "we". He say, "We are trying to save you. We're trying to save your life." Who is this "we"? The Nogitsune draws a "self" symbol on the wall which disappears in a dramatic fashion, but before it does we get this image. IT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A FACE!!!!!!!!!!

As I said, the Nogitsune is asking Stiles riddles that Stiles answers very quickly but one trips him up... "Everyone has it, but no one can lose it." Mama and Agent McCall save Stiles before he has the chance to answer.

Meanwhile, Allison is missing all the fun because her phone is off  even though she never turned it off. Upon turning it on she discovers tons of messages from a blocked number. The messages are in Japanese and after having Kira's dad translate them, they discover it is a recording of a man reading instructions to prisoners arriving at a fake Japanese holding camp in WWII (???????????). 

At school the next day Lydia is hypersensitive to loud noises, especially those of Stiles getting an MRI. She can't escape these bangs and clangs and leaves school so she can  SCREEEEAAMMMSS!!!!! 

We also have Derek getting some quality bonding time with Kira after he abducts her at school and takes her to the power substation. She tells him all she knows about foxfire, which isn't much to be honest. Derek believes that Barrow used the foxfire created by Kira to jump start the Nogitsune inside Stiles (?????????).

That same day at the hospital Stiles is having tests done to see if he has the form of dementia that his mother died from. He most likely does, in which that case Scott will bite him up. During the MRI Stiles gets taken back into the Nogitsune Dream World (this should be a thing) where the Nogitsune says he is going to "kill all of them".... yayyyy death. Stiles figures out the answer to the riddle, "Everyone has it, but no on can lose it." The anwer is "your shadow". Upon discovering this, Stiles turns around only to see that the Nogitsune has taken off his bandages and now has Stiles' face. The Nogitsune takes over Stiles' body and causes all the power to shut off so he can escape and have a conversation with Kira's mom (KIRA'S MOM!!!!!!). She tells Dark Stiles that she's going to take him down with the help of the Oni and Kira. Dark Stiles replies by attempting to kill Kira, from what it looks like. I'm just so happy Kira's mom is a mythical creature!!!!

The only other note worthy thing in the episode was the relationship between Scott and Derek. They were working together, or as Derek put it, "sharing a few trade secrets". Derek also told Scott that he took Cora back to South America (Scotland) and talked to his mother. I'm sure there was more to their conversation, but Derek said that when he talked with his mom she told him that the Hales hadn't just lived in Beacon Hills, they had protected it. It was a nice moment :)

Have a WOLFTASTIC MOONDAY!!!!!!!!

The Forecast of Stiles' Well-Being

WHAT IS UP WITH STILES?!?!?!?

This is my prediction for what exactly is happening with Stiles....

          It was said in a previous episode (I think) that Stiles was the only one in the room when his mother died. I believe that his mom was being possessed by this dark spirit and her mind was trying to reject it. That is what was causing the hallucinations, blackouts, and inability to sleep. This internal war eventually killed her, because her mind decided the only way to save itself was to kill her (this could be wrong). Once she died the spirit needed somewhere to go and moved to the nearest living thing, Stiles. Maybe this drained the spirit of its powers or something else caused it to sleep, but the spirit remained dormant in Stiles until he sacrificed himself. This woke the spirit up and now Stiles' mind is trying to fight it off like his mother did. That is what is causing the horrible things that will probably kill Stiles, if the Oni don't get there first. 

Is is wrong to hope I'm right? Because I totally do... I don't want Stiles to die but I think this would be awesome. You can leave a comment about what you think will happen to Stiles down below. Also, I'm interested to see what people think happened to Malia and her father. Have we seen the last of them, or will they came back?

The Boyish Looking Man

I'm sorry I'm so late but I believe there is still time to discuss...

SILVERFINGER

This episode was very much an information/discovery episode that answered a lot of questions while creating millions more. So it was pretty much awesome.

We started this episode with Mr. Argent finally explaining his connection to the demonic ninjas. He had encountered some on a business trip in Japan where they basically killed everyone in their sight except Mr. Argent and a few Japanese employees, including Silverfinger. Mr. Argent shot one of the ninjas in the head and saved Silverfinger's life. After explaining all this Mr. Argent, Allison, and Isaac decide the best way to figure out the demonic ninjas purpose is to find to Silverfinger and talk to him.

Meanwhile, Scott and Kira were continuing to be the cutest couple EVER!! Scott showed Kira his wereface (which is hideous to be honest) and she wasn't disgusted OR terrified. They also shared the sweetest moment when Kira said that foxes and werewolves don't get along and Scott replied with, "those are just stories". I ship them so hardcore. 

Also during that day, Scott was being guarded by not only the twins but also sexy Derek. Scott was getting irritated and escape them by breaking the twins motorcycles AGAIN!! The twins looked super mad/sad but I don't know why because THEY ARE WEREWOLVES. THEY COULD HAVE JUST CHASED SCOTT!!! (That made me angry.) Anyways... Scott took Kira to his house to wait for the sun to set and for Mama McCall to return home and set the home security (*Gerard's voice* MOUNTAIN ASH!!!). She was a little late and Agent McCall got there first, only to find the demonic ninjas arriving also. He went to investigate the shady figure and got stabbed in the chest... oh darn. Then Derek and the twins showed up and as a group they kicked the ninjas out and Mama McCall set the security.

Isaac, Allison, and Mr. Argent successfully broke into Silverfinger's home, but not before Allison and Isaac shared a VERY passionate smoochy ;) Once they were in his house they quickly found him and began to talk once Silverfinger realized who Mr. Argent was. Silverfinger told them that the demonic ninjas are actually called Oni. They are demons that are looking for a dark spirit or Nogitsune, which is a dark or void kitsune. Silverfinger explained that you can't fight an Oni but only endure it. He also clarified what the backwards 5 meant. The Oni were checking all supernatural creatures to see if they possess a "dark spirit". If they don't the Oni leave the backwards 5 which is a Japanese for "self", meaning they are themselves. That means the Oni are looking for "one that is no longer themselves". Silverfinger also advises them that if the Oni find this Nogitsune, they should let them kill it. 

With this new information Scott feels confident that neither Kira or himself possess this dark spirit and let the Oni check them. They both test negatively leaving everyone wondering who the real Nogitsune is... Also during this scene it was officially revealed by Derek that Kira IS a kitsune, and thankfully a good one. Plus, while Agent McCall was "dying" he said that he needed to talk to Scott about the real reason he came back to town but Mama wouldn't let him... interesting...

    And now what everyone really wants to talk about... STILES!!!! 

At the beginning of the episode Stiles tried to show Scott the key and coded message but both were gone. Stiles was quite distressed about this and Scott recommended him to just go home. Stiles instead went to the hospital and got examined by Mama McCall. She decided he was sleep deprived and gave him some sedatives so he could take a nap. This allowed the most gut-wrenching moment to occur while Stiles was falling asleep. While he was drifting off, Stiles mumbled "thanks mom" to Mama McCall *sobs*. This encouraged Mama McCall to compare Stiles' symptoms to his late mother's and they had very similar symptoms indeed. Later in the episode, after all of the fun with the Oni, Stiles woke up. He went looking for Mama McCall, but instead the Oni found him. They surrounded Stiles and began to test him when all of a sudden he got a weird look in his eyes and fought back. He killed one of the Oni by ripping out its firefly heart and the other two Oni evaporated in fear. Then Scott walked in the room and asked Stiles if he is okay, to which Stiles replied totally normal, "yeah". YOU ARE NOT FINE STILES!!!!

So basically, Stiles is being possessed by a dark spirit and doesn't know. And the spirit is doing a good job at keeping Stiles from finding out. He is being hunted by the Oni and now probably the Argents too, but apparently he can fight back. (I will post my theory to all this in a different post that you can check out later.)

My only other note from "Silverfinger" is, where were Lydia and Peter??? Probably making out in a broken down house if you ask me... Have a WOLFTASTIC MOONDAY!!!

DDDDDDDDDROP THE BASS

Let's talk about 

ILLUMINATED

RAAAAAAVVVEEEE!!!! *fist bumps to the beat* This episode was quite literally a party. To be honest, not much happened and it was a little slow but it was FUN!! You can't say you didn't grin when Allison admitted she was frustrated (sexually) and let Isaac paint her, or when Lydia was calmly standing by judging everyone while they were getting it on.

The rave was put on by Danny with the help of the newly good boys, Ethan and Aiden. They opened Derek's loft up for the party, seeing as Derek was out of town being attacked by demons without Peter (Where was PETER?!?! I need my sass). Derek eventually came home to break it up, but not before loads of ish happened. Also, props if you noticed when Derek crashed the party the song said "drop the bass" right before Derek threw the DJ table. It was hilarious. 

At school that same day (THEY GO TO SCHOOL?!!??), Scott decided he wanted to talk to Kira about her supernaturalness. Stiles deeply disapproved but Scott went ahead anyways. Kira then told him that she had a problem taking selfies, mainly because of the fox ghost surrounding her at all times. They then went on a mission to delete the pictures that Barrow had taken of her on her phone that was in the police station. They were successful and the whole thing was kind of pointless, except when Stiles was trying to stall Agent McCall. Stiles told him that he knew something about him that McCall didn't want getting out. Spoooky... and exciting!!! Scott, Kira, and Stiles then went to the rave. They weren't going to stay but Stiles started making out with someone and that doesn't happen often so they stayed. Scott and Kira were holding hands and Allison gave then the nod of approval. I mean... how could she not? They are adorable and she already has a hunk of her own to get down with. 

At the same time as all this grooving taking place, there were firefly demons attacking all our favorite people in Beacon Hills! They attacked Isaac at the end of last week and continued on their path of destruction by snagging Derek, Ethan, Lydia, and Aiden. Their attacks were executed by surrounding the victim, slamming their door, stunning them, and leaving a backwards 5 (a 2?) right behind the victims left ear. The firefly demons came to the party at Derek's loft where they attacked Ethan and Lydia. It looked like they wanted to attack Danny but were strangely afraid of him. When Derek came to break up the party, the firefly demons stayed for the after party, which consisted of them fighting the werewolf type people there. The firefly demons were completely winning but evaporated when the sun came up. Mr. Argent is afraid they are after him because he has one of their masks in a treasure chest. I'm not sure if this means he is one of them or if he killed one of them. All I know is that he returned home bloody and faint. I have some questions for that man.

The only other storyline present this episode was Stiles. We were apparently supposed to assume that Barrow had not left the message to kill Kira on the chalk board, but that someone had left it their for him. That person was Stiles. Stiles found a mysterious key on his key ring (did it look like it changed to you, because it sure did to me). He didn't really think much of it until Caitlin, the chemistry genius, was making out with him and noticed it had phosphorus on it. Stiles realized the connection between the key and chemicals and rushed to the school. Sure enough, the key opened up the chemical supply room and Stiles' handwriting matched the numbers on the chalkboard. I don't want to say I call it but... I CALLED IT. Stiles is doing bad things without him knowing. What he really needs is a little bit of loving from his love, Lydia.

FFFFFEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Have a Wolftastic Wednesday :D

The Best Episode Ever

OMG!!!!!!!! GALVANIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I freaking LOVED this episode!!! It was perfect on all accounts. Seriously, there is nothing you could say about it that would change my mind... NOTHINGGGGG. I can easily say it is my favorite with Motel California close behind. It was as perfect as Scott and Kira, Stiles and Lydia, and Isaac (he is fine alone). Let's dig right in, just like Kate dug right into Allison's intestines :)

Derek and Peter's storyline continued to be allusive and strange, leaving us with many questions. They were back in town with their wooden container that ended up containing Talia's claws. Peter sucked (?) them into his fingers and stabbed Derek in the backbone. This caused Derek to go into a trance where he saw Talia as a full-fledged wolf standing on the nemeton. He presumably talked to her but we did not get to hear the conversation. Instead we got to see Derek wake up from his trance looking very panicked and worried. This made me very panicked and worried... And where the heck is Cora?!? (A: Filming Reign)

The main storyline this episode was surrounding William Barrow, a bomber that killed four kids because he saw their eyes glow. He needed surgery and they, of course, sent him right into the arms of the best nurse in town, Mama McCall.

It's true.

They begin surgery, but as they started they notice a tumor that proceeded to pop and spew flies all over the room. LIVE flies. While this was happening Barrow woke up from his anesthesia and escaped to Beacon Hills High School... how convenient. He used chemicals to mask his scent and eventually left the school, but not before he wrote the atomic number for Potassium, Iodine, and Radium on the chalk board. And not before this nightmare waiting to happen...

Meanwhile, the gang was looking for Barrow in the school but had no luck. Lydia kept hearing a buzzing and was sure it meant that Barrow was near. When they couldn't find him anywhere, her confidence was shaken. Good thing Stiles was around to reassure her. This was truly the most beautiful scene ever with MAJOR Stydia feels. Not only was it nice but also super clever. Stiles had different colored yarn, with red standing for unsolved. The entire scene Lydia was wrapping the red yarn around her fingers showing that she truly is a mystery that they haven't solved. But then you had Stiles start unravelling the yarn from her fingers showing that it's okay that they don't understand her powers, they still trust her. 

Through this touching scene Stiles realized that Barrow had probably used chemicals to mask his scent and they went to the school to prove it. There Lydia found the atomic numbers and discovered they were a code for KIRA, Barrow's intended victim. 

During all this craziness, Allison and Isaac were trying to find something about flies in the bestiary. They were incredibly unsuccessful mainly because they were too busy taking their shirts off for each other. This scene was honestly the funniest thing I have ever seen on television. When Mr. Argent came in I lost it, and when he said, "Allison can I talk to you in my office, WHERE I KEEP MY GUNS", I may have died. 

At the same time, Scott was having a sushi/pizza party at Kira's house. This whole storyline was really cute and so fresh. On a show like this, when they introduce new couples and characters it can sometimes feel like been their, done that. I feel none of that with Scira and love it. 

While leaving Kira's house, Scott was almost killed by Barrow who then stole Kira. Scott woke up to Stiles and Lydia telling him that Kira had been Barrow's target all along. Lydia thought she knew where Barrow had taken Kira but couldn't figure out where until Stiles told her to scream. She  gave it her best shot and was then able to figure out that Barrow and Kira were at a power substation (my favorite hangout). They rushed to go save her but were ultimately too late. Barrow had already tied up Kira and was in the process of electrocuting her when Scott ran in. Little did Scott and Barrow know that Kira can absorb energy. She killed Barrow and absorbed all the electricity in Beacon Hills right in front of Scott. I knew I liked her. 

Other noteworthy moments in this episode were Ethan and Aiden trying to join Scott's pack. Scott turned them down which lead to a discussion on whether or not he is the hottest girl in school. Isaac eagerly agreed, leading to a very adorable Scisaac moment. Also the best quote of the episode from Ethan, "Dead is still better than being in high school". I totally agree... And of course, our cliff-hanger. Isaac was alone in Allison's room when the three firefly creatures appeared and attacked him. I am predicting that maybe the creatures are the dead emissaries from the Alpha pack's old packs. I can't remember if the twins ever had a pack, but if they did that means one emissary could be alive (Jennifer, Jennifer, JENNIFER). 

I have given up trying to blog about an episode the day after it airs. I'm sorry to my faithful readers, but you can expect the post by no later than Friday that week. Have a WOLFTASTIC weekend :D
