Sorry but by pointing out how long you have been recording cannon  (from the look of things incorrectly) it doesn't intimidate me much. Despite your position as an admin, what you claim to be cannon doesn't make it so. And as i have stated before provide evidence that Lydia was a banshee prior to the Alpha bite, if this can not be done then by claiming it to be cannon without any actual evidence or support from the show is a false cannon. Mate, While I do agree with you that what the admin says doesn't make it canon. But in this case, I understand where you are coming from. True, there is no actual evidence to show that she was a banshee before the bite, but Her Grandmother was, it skipped a generation(or did it), and for all intent and purpose, you might as well say she was or she wasn't a banshee before the bite. I think the Martin family might all have it, and it takes a traumatic experience to awaken it, like lydia had the power of the banshee but it remained dormant, until peter's bite brought it out. Lydia's grandmother's girlfriend dying brought out her own power IIRC. You have a point by stating it is not canon since it has not been explicitly stated on the show, the reason she has her powers, best we can do is make an educated guess which by definition is not canon. but this theory is not unreasonable.

One thing about the admin is, he tends to take information that are infered as canon. This is a fallacy and people get slaughtered on the OBD for this, its scary.
