kimannebb Teen Wolf: Weaponized Watching Teen Wolf is an interesting exercise. We go from one week with some smart ideas that they backed up with an explanation: why Derek (and other werewolves) weren't aware that Satomi's pack was so close -- that they hid their scent. And yes it's can be seen as flimsy but the fact that it was covered shows they were looking at the whole picture.
Then you go to "Weaponized" where Mrs Martin finds the coach, touches his face and neck and leaves, but when she returns she uses a tissue to check his wrist and then lift his shirt. Um, if you were to be infected, you already were from all that oil and sweat from his face before. Kind of silly at that point in my opinion.
You have Stiles not trusting the test proctor but having him be odd about the money. Although his problem seems to be Peter related, it's always been Peter related. I think he's the one, besides Lydia, been consistently against Peter. He points out that Peter's name is the one left off the dead pool list, and that is just too much of a coincidence. You have Peter gaining strength while Derek loses it. Stiles is never going to trust Peter, as he says "Peter is not one of the good guy."
Stiles really cares about Malia, he is so sweet with her that my heart wants to explode. He is everything a young man should be to a person he likes. You can see how torn he is about leaving her, and being scared that Malia will leave if she finds out about Peter (whether it's to be with her "dad" or being angry at them knowing, I'm not sure.) The last 10 minutes of this episode was heartbreaking. Stiles taking gun to the head but not giving up his friends. Him banging on concrete screaming for Scott, the two of them leaning against the door in mirroring positions. Heartbreaking. But Stiles should have hugged Scott, period, the shoulder thing just wasn't enough.
I'd have to go back but I could have sworn that Malia was on the dead pool list as Malia Tate. Not Hale. So... when did that happen? I don't have the eps available to go back but ... I just could have sworn. And heartbreaking again because Malia leaves him. In terms of the sickness, Stiles took a long time to get over the infection, more so than any other human, I'm thinking the writers are still skirting the line about what Stiles is or could be. And while Stiles doesn't physically kick ass, he figures out almost every problem they have, between him and Lydia they could run the world. Well, ok, perhaps just Beacon Hills.
And Derek. Not really sure if he could have been any cuter regarding him sitting and watching Braeden in the hospital. I don't know if it's because of the wold leaving him or that he is just letting go of some of his anger after everything that has happened, but Derek is "lighter". Smiling a little at Satomi after a comment about his mother. I do wish Derek had more scenes with the rest of the pack instead of the adults, but that's just a personal preference.
Not sure where they are going with Meredith being in the Martin's bedroom, perhaps she was there before it belonged to the Martin's. It's odd. I also feel that the money problems each family are having (to varying degrees) is an odd route to take. I assume it was done to parallel the assassins being paid plot, but... for Lydia it came out of nowhere. For Scott and Stiles it's more understandable as they are single parent homes, Sheriff lost his position for a bit, Stiles was institutionalized. I find it distracting instead of adding to the stress, the assassins are enough of a plot point for the high school kids to deal with.
