 Teen Wolf News at Comic Con

I’m writing this Teen Wolf News update in a Little Tokyo hotel room in Los Angeles, California. Tomorrow, I’ll make the short trek over to Union Station and board a train bound for San Diego Comic Con.

The folks inside the Wikia Mothership thought it might be fun to fly me out here to cover Teen Wolf at the convention and for the past few weeks Teen Wolf Wikia users have been sending me some great questions to ask Jeff Davis and the cast.

I’ll warn you now, I don’t expect them to give me much time (if any) with Jeff but I plan to make the most of it.

Here are a few of the questions y’all submitted that seem to come up again and again here on the site. If I have time, I’ll ask him more but those are what I’m working with for now to (hopefully) clear up some of the existing canon.
 * How did Laura Hale become an alpha?
 * Does being a true alpha make Scott more powerful than other alphas or just morally superior?
 * Can you define how packs work and more specifically what is required for membership?
 * How do Werewolves age and more specifically why does Satomi still look exactly as she did 70 years ago while Peter and Derek seem to age normally?

Videos of my interviews will be posted on Friday at the Teen Wolf Wikia YouTube page and here on the site. I’ll also be live-tweeting the Teen Wolf Panel on Thursday at @teenwolfwikia.

There will also be updates over at the Teen Wolf Wikia tumblr.

Most of the Teen Wolf stuff kicks off on Thrusday afternoon with the panel so be sure to check in with us for the very latest.

 Best Week Ever

While the television ratings system seems unable to accurately measure the show’s popularity, we can report that Teen Wolf Wikia just finished its biggest week ever in terms of visitors and page views. According to Quantcast figures, Season 5 week 1 at teenwolf.wikia.com topped the previous record for unique visitors by 16%. The old record was set, as you might expect, the week Allison died.

The site saw more than 1.2 million page views in the past 7 days that’s an increase of 25% over our previous page view record set in week 9 of Season 3 when Lydia learned she was a banshee and Sheriff Stilinski got an education about the supernatural via Stiles chessboard in Season 3.

While not reflected in the television ratings, our internal numbers indicate interest in the show’s canon is at an all-time high.

 Teen Wolf Nepotism

<p class="MsoNormal">We saw two more examples of Teen Wolf Nepotism during this week’s episodes.

<p class="MsoNormal">In Parasomnia, the little girl at the vet clinic and Lydia’s biology partner both have family ties to the show.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadia Buer, the little girl with the dog who calls Scott “Doctor McCall,” has literally grown up on the Teen Wolf set. Her mother is costume designer Barbara Vazquez.

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a continuation of the Teen Wolf tradition of using crew members or the children of crew members and producers as characters in the show.

<p class="MsoNormal">Parasomnia also marked the return of Director Tim Andrew’s daughter Claire Bryétt Andrew reprising her Season 4 role as Sydney. She’s seen in the AP Biology class sitting next to Lydia.

<p class="MsoNormal">Claire’s sister, Lily Bleu Andrew, was also in Season 4 playing the endangered blond werewolf “Lori” cowering against the assassins with Satomi’s pack.

<p class="MsoNormal">Just like the rest of the world, when it comes to getting a bit part on Teen Wolf, it really comes down to who you know.

<p class="MsoNormal">Other examples -

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf Script Coordinator and Associate Producer Damon Jackson played Danny’s boyfriend in a number of scenes. Teen Wolf Costumer Daniel Flores appeared in the memorable Season 2 episode Frenemy flirting with Danny inside the Jungle nightclub.
