Episode 503

Deaton - Don’t worry Stiles, Tracy won’t be able to cross a line of mountain ash. She’s not going anywhere.

Stiles – That’s kind of what I’m afraid of.

Deaton – Well, you and I will be able to get out of here no problem. You two (indicates Scott and Malia) not so much.

Malia - (touches Mountain Ash barrier) Weird.

LATER

Stiles – Hey Deaton, how’d she get through the mountain ash?

Deaton – I don’t know. It’s a barrier no supernatural creature should be able to cross.

Stiles – Scott did it.

Scott – Once but it almost killed me.

Episode 504

Deaton – At the moment I’m more interested in how Tracy was able to get across the mountain ash.

Kira – I thought nothing supernatural could do that.

Deaton – As did I. So, if Tracy was able to cross the mountain ash and no one supernatural can do that…

Scott – Tracy’s not supernatural.

Deaton – Exactly.

If you can cross mountain ash you are not supernatural. Which was to illustrate that chimeras were made with science, and not supernatural. Lydia and banshees were not mentioned.

So, your argument is that banshees cannot be an exception? That still leaves three reasonable possibilities, two aside from your one. Which places us back at square one with your theory being headcanon.

I can do this all day.

We're literally arguing in circles because you keep presenting the same arguments, and I keep presenting the actual things we know.

At the end of the day we do not know for sure that banshees are not supernatural, because they have not been explicitly, directly addressed, and other possibilites will exist until they are.

You can't argue headcanon into canon. That's a lesson you taught me a long, long time ago.

You are basically taking what you've seen and making additional conclusions from it.

I could just as easily state that all original alphas have been true alphas, and that all other alphas' powers come from the original true alphas. Why can I say this? Because true alphas are the only established form of a beta becoming an alpha without stealing it, and logically alphas must have come from somewhere.

Does that make it canon? No, because nothing has really been said, explicitly, and at the end of the day, and if there are other possibilities for what the canon could be, anything else someone claims is headcanon.
