Teen Wolf Reaction Post: 5.09

[goodbyegraceful]

Ok I wanted to get this up earlier, but I've been busy writing (I'll be at 20k by the end of the night, woop!) so I'm multitasking this post and eating dinner! We're down to the wire here, folks. Only one more episode until the summer finale (I hate you so much, MTV) so here we go. You know the drill, spoilers ahoy! I'll also be discussing my thoughts on the finale trailer and as usual, my hate for Theo Raeken. Let's begin! (this might be out of order some...)

5.09 Lies of Omission

• Scott's opening monologue was just sad, okay? He's still blaming himself when he should be blaming Theo. Everyone blame Theo. That's the name of this season now.


• Stiles and Malia have had barely any interaction this season, I'm starting to forget they were a couple. I like that Malia's grown as her own character though.


• When they were in the woods, Stiles almost told Lydia about Donovan. Stiles just should have kept talking! I'm sure she would have listened to him.


• Liam and Hayden are so cute and so doomed....


• Theo went whining to his bosses about how they're being mean to him and he needs Hayden...(more about what Theo says later!)


• annnnd Hayden gets the silver nosebleed of doom :(


• Scott's so stressed out his asthma is back...bb you need a vacation :(


• "We can't save anyone."...ok, way to support your dad, Liam.


• Theo threatening that Lydia will find Donovan out at the nemeton. Listen here, you little shit I need the dread doctors to put you on time out...


• Stiles saw himself all dead and mercury bleedy as a sign of guilt, no thanks.


• Mason being all adorable and helpful with Corey: awww...


• *five minutes later* COREY'S OOZING MERCURY OMG MASON YOU HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE


• What the fuck Theo? Telling Scott about Stiles and saying he bashed Donovan's skull in with the wrench????

• Okay sorry, but that Beth girl chewing off her finger was gross and Malia cares more about helping people than her grades sorry Mrs. Martin!


• Maybe if everyone wasn't avoiding one another, Malia and Stiles would have actually be able to talk about what she just saw...*glares at Theo*


• Corey being a chameleon was pretty cool...except the doctors knew where he was and killed him anyways


• Lydia fighting Parrish in the woods and the whole entire "I don't want to hurt people" scene...ehhhh. Some people like Parrish but he kind of falls pretty low on my character love scale, sorry....


• Theo talking to Stilinski and making it look like he killed Donovan in self defense, crying and hugging the sherrif when that should have been Stiles' scene. I'm fine. I'm f i ne...

• Liam and Hayden were gonna run away together!

• Scott and that other guy to the rescue! And Theo getting his ass kicked by the doctors, I need more of that.

• The way that Liam screamed when that doctor stabbed Hayden made me tear up!

• Dear Teen Wolf, why are our female characters reduced to ships? I love my ships, but that hashtag should have been #haydenlives...

• Parrish locking himself up might have been for everyone's own good, but I doubt he'll stay there.

• Okay, here it is. The Scott and Stiles scene we were all afraid of. My opinion on this might be a bit different but I don't blame Scott and I don't blame Stiles. Scott has been manipulated by Theo since he got there, and he knew that Stiles was keeping something from him, but he didn't know what. Stiles, while I think he had every right to defend himself, should have told Scott sooner. I don't think Scott's reaction would have been like it was if he had. Also, Stiles kept telling Scott that Donovan was going to kill his dad, he could have worded it a bit different. Scott could have said that Theo told him what Stiles did and how he did it. This whole scene was miscommunication and sadness and I was bawling my eyes out the whole time. The way that Scott flinched away because of the wrench, Stiles begging him to tell him how to fix it. This is not okay. Because Scott needs distance from Stiles and that smug little asshole sitting inside the animal clinic is entirely to blame. He has completely dismantled their friendship with his lies, and do you want to know the best fucking part? He doesn't even want Scott.

• Scott telling Liam no about giving Hayden the bite. Okay, a part of me gets it. Hayden is a chimera, and who knows what the doctors did to her. Scott didn't say no because he doesn't want to do it. He said no because he's afraid that she'll die and that'll just be another thing piled up on top of everything. There have been people hating Scott on Tumblr. There have been people hating Stiles on Tumblr. Let me put this bluntly. THEY ARE WRONG.

I could write you an entire post about Theo Raeken; the boy who let his sister drown and came to Beacon Hills and essentially tore a pack apart, and is very much a sociopath that if they wanted, he could have been Peter Hale's son, the way that he has manipluated everyone and twisted and wormed his way into Scott's head and ruined everything (I'm kind of reminded of Lydia and Peter in S2), how he's essentially broken Scott down and Scott thinks it's all his fault. How the doctors got a hold of Kira and because she couldn't remember, Theo led Scott to think that he couldn't trust her anymore. But I think that I would break LJ's character limit...

The trailer for 5x10 Staticus Asthmaticus: Here we see Theo saying he wants a "werecoyote, a banshee, a dark kitsune, a beta with anger issues and void Stiles." He wants a pack and it doesn't include Scott because Scott McCall can't be dissuaded to darkness? Are the others so easy to bend? Liam ,he could offer a way to save Hayden. I'm still unsure what he could offer the others. And if you think that Stiles is going to take this, you're damn wrong. Then we see Theo attacking Scott in the library. If this is our cliffanger, you guys can bet I'm gonna be flailing and screaming all hiatus!

So many feels were felt....

All I can think about is that Scott & Stiles scene. I do agree that Stiles shouldn't have waited so long to tell Scott. Also... why did Stiles confide in Theo about his fears of how Scott would react if Scott did find out? That was a mistake. Theo just used it against him by telling Scott all this made up stuff. Scott just ate it all up. Believed it. I don't hate Scott. I'm just mad that he seems to believe Theo's story of how it happened. And that Stiles didn't tell Scott how it really went down. Like everything about it. Scott has never been my favorite character but I don't hate him.

I think it's strange that Stiles and Malia barely interact.

Liam and Hayden are adorable. <3 I hope the writers don't kill her off.

Ugh, I hate Theo so much.

I'm sad Corey had to get killed. The chameleon thing was super cool and I would have liked him to stick around.

Ugh, that scene with Scott and Stiles was so painful.

Everybody seems so OOC this season. I hope things get back to normal in the second half.

That's the thing about Scott, people hate him but I don't see HOW they could hate him. He's blaming this WHOLE situation on himself when it definitely is because of Theo.
Technically, if we REALLY want to play the blame game we should blame Peter for this whole Supernatural mess since he basically made Derek kill Paige, haha.

I have the same opinion about Scott and Stiles.. Stiles being so worried about how Scott would react to this means Stiles should have said something to Scott sooner than this. I think that IF Stiles told Scott the truth and it came from Stiles' mouth, I think the outcome would have turned out differently.

Is that definitely Theo attacking Scott? Because it looked like Liam and Scott.. But I just don't know. Lord knows I am not prepared for this finale emotionally and mentally.

Yes, when all else fails, let's blame Peter Hale!

Theo manipulated that situation perfectly. He knew what Stiles reaction would be to seeing that wrench and what Scott's reaction would be to hearing Stiles killed Donovan.

In trailer #1 (right after the ep) it's Scott being attacked by Liam, and Scott telling Liam he won't let him kill him. in trailer #2, it shows Theo attacking Scott in the library. Ohhhhh I am nowhere near ready for Monday at all!

[impala-chick.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I agree about Theo. Grade A Manipulator. Scott's friends aren't going to all turn against him so easily! So much Scott and Stiles miscommunication. Those boys need to get it together.
LOL at your Mason Capslock comment.

Hopefully they can at least start to fix things in the midseason finale! Though I'm sure it's all gonna drag over to 5B.

I haven't had a chance to watch the ep (and am not sure when I will be able to) but after reading this I know I'm gonna have to be prepared with a Costco sized box of tissues....
