TW: Season 6.1
Hey Guys,
you all know that i am kinda crazy into Teen Wolf and that i can write novels about it. Now i watched like everytime the newest season of Teen Wolf – every week one episode. You of course noticed that i didn’t write an article about any of these episodes. Why is that? Because i don’t know what to say about it. This season is a really big let down. I always thought that Teen Wolf get better and better. I loved everything about it. I had so much hope for this last season and lot of trust in Jeff to make it work so that i will be totally in love with this season. But this is not what happend. What happend is that don’t want to pay for the DVD’s and that at least season 6.1 will not find his way into my cupboard. One big thing that makes the season not really good is of course the lack of Stiles. That is something that sadly couldn’t be changed. I really love that they made the storyline so that Stiles can still be in it even when Dylan O’Brien couldn’t be there to film the season. So i don’t hold that against the season.
But sadly other things are even worse than the absends of Stiles. There are two mayor points i dislike in this season Marrish and Lydia (not just as part of Stydia).
But lets start at the beginning. The plot…
At the beginning were the memory loss
The Story is that their is the wild hunt and they earse people completely. Nobody remembers them and the things they own vanish or more true would be couldn’t be seen anymore by others. This wild hunt earse Stiles from this world. So nobody is remembering him anymore. But everything is still the same. Means Scott is still a werwolf, Malia is still human and not a coyele and without Stiles nothing of that would have happend. Which means when you think about it a few memories just doesn’t make sense.
The only thing that really is different is Stiles Mother. She is still alive and isn’t ill anymore. She overcome her illness – what is like i understand utterly impossible – but she is alive.
The second storyline is about the NaziWerwolf. A really bad storyline. You know from the start who the teacher is and Liam and his friends deal with all of that shit alone because the other are trying to get Stiles back.
Which means Chris and Melissa are dealing mostly with the wild hunt. What actually amazing because of reason i will get later into.
Lydia and her break downs – countains maybe a little spoilers
I really like Lydia. I love her character growing and this stuff. She was a really mean and manipulating person in the first season. The way she treated Jackson was really bad. I am still angry that everyone seems to forget how she treated him like shit when they were together. In the second season i started to feel with her because nobody was there for her and i mean nobody – nor Allison or Stiles. She was alone and thought that Peter was still out there. I really hate what they did to her with keeping her in the dark and than she have to see her big love die infornt of her eyes. In the end we see her and Jackson declarying their love and Stiles sees it too. He sees that he will never have a chance. Than Aiden came and Lydia grow alot in this relationship because Aiden made clear to her what person she doesn’t want to be. It is amazing to see her actually having a friendship with Allison and see her becoming independant and part of the pack. What i love the most about it is that it is not about Jackson, Stiles or Aiden. It is about Scott. She starts embrassing her abillities because of Scott. Because Scott told her that he had her back. She tells him who dies and he goes and save them. That is the reason she start to really do this. Scott is the reason she is in the pack and why she stayed fighting. Really i love the scene where Derek is explaining that to Aiden. That is Lydia. She isn’t in love with Scott but she respects him and she trusts him so much.
We see her out grow Jackson, Aiden and Stiles. Than she met Parrish and Parrish treated her like she deserved it. They were so amazing for each other. The chemestry between them was so good. Lydia became such a strong person who actually looked for a guy she deserved.
Than season 6 started and from all of a sudden Parrish and Lydia have not one scene together anymore. Parrish exist as Parrish just because Lydia holds him in this world. Now this whole storyline seems to vanish into thin air. The only thing that counts for Lydia is Stiles. I hate it so much. The last season the wish to protect her friend Malia brought her back. Now she let all of her friends fight the bad teacher and the wild hunt alone because she has to save Stiles. For me it is so out of charactere. This is Lydia she would never let anything like Allisons death happen again but this is what she is doing. She is doing nothing. She just breaks down and cries and talks about Stiles. I want her to fight to remember him but not like that not over the cost of everyone else.
I hate how she is talking to the Sheriff and i get that most of the fandom hates Claudia (Stiles Mom) but she is the wife the Sheriff is loving. He loves her with everything he had and her death broke him. The only reason he is still alive and healt is because he had Stiles. How could she be like that. I get that she wants him back and wants the Sheriff to remember him but – not like that… my heart broke for him when he actually understood the truth behind everything…
Hales and their anchor …stydia and other things
I love Malia and my heart breaks for her. She built her life around Stiles. Stiles is that one person for her. Stiles is the one that holds her human. Stiles is her anchor. I love that fact and i wish we would see more of her struggle with that and her feelings of helplessness. But it made me also miss Derek even more. Because Stiles became also his anchor. Which is so amazing. It made me wish that Derek would be there and we would see a relationship that developed slowly and naturally into something more not like the forced Stydia. I am tried to accept Stydia and understand it. But i can’t understand it. I had a lovely person (heygarretshutup) that tried really hard to explain it too me. Sadly for me i have a complete different point of view on the characters and their character. That is why for me these two still don’t make sense. But even when i couldn’t understand it i wanted to accept it because when it will be conan i have to live with it and i love Teen Wolf and i don’t want to stop loving it because a ship became reality i don’t like. My hope that there will be a turning point is still there. But that hope dies slowly. The way Stydia is made in this season feels so forced on my. Truth be told i would be angry if they would make Sterek real in that way. Because it feels forced and cheated and wrong… and i really want Sterek to be canon but in an natural and amazing way.
So i can’t understand or accept Stydia. I just can’t. I totally started hating it and everything to do with it. I hate to admit it but it seems like i am totally that person that stop loving a serie because of the ship they seem to make canon.
If they bring Jackson back just to show him that he lost Lydia to Stiles … i will … oh god i will be so angry at that. Don’t bring Jackson back just to hurt him. Don’t hurt him anymore.
The grown ups
From the first two season on i had a wish how the season would end and i don’t mean any ship with it. This is not about Sterek or Stydia or anyother ship. The first thing i wanted came already true. I always thought that Peter Hale had to be in the last season. A last season without Peter just wouldn’t sit right with me and here we have him. Like he always was amazing, idiot and cares mostly about himself but a little bit for Stiles and even a little more for his daugther – i still want to know why Talia took that memory from him and why she send Malia to live with a normal family instead of a pack that can protect and teach her.
The second thing is and i am sure that this will not happen… but it would be the best thing ever. So i wanted Deaton to be the big bad in the last season. Because really he is so creepy. The way he act like he knows nothing in the first two seasons. The way he reacted to Derek and the way he dealt with Derek don’t sit right with me. Why don’t tell him that he was the emissary of the Hale pack? Why don’t tell him the truth and the way he ‘protects’ Derek is a joke. Also he always just tells them as little as possible about everything. He has to hide something else and i really wish that it would be that way.
But what really gives me life this season is the Coach! He is back – sadly he still is not often on screen – and Melissa and Chris. I ship these two so much. Really the scenes they have together are amazing and my love for that pair grows every episode. Also so the Sheriff is free for the Coach.
Watching or not – spoilers
If you can do it than don’t watch it. Of course i will watch 6.2 and hope that everything will be better in the second part of the season if not i will watch with my best friend only season 5.2 and let it end there. She dislike Stydia as much as i and she is not a big fan of her anyway. Soo this is even worse for her. It is not that the whole season is bad. Actually the last episode was really good apart form the parts with Lydia and Stiles… Every scene with them were so unnessassary… the shoots of the Sheriff would have been enough. Because this scene was so great and emotional and Lydia kinda take very much from this scene. The Sheriff is shooting his wife – the wife he loves so much that he carried the rings years after her death. The only person he loved enough that actually could have taken the place of Stiles. He shoots her without hesitating because she is hurting his son. Without a second of thougths he decided for his son.
