I've watched every episode of "Teen Wolf" since it first aired and I'll miss it a great deal. I first watched because of someone I had met who was involved with the show, not expecting to stick with it after a coutesy view of a few episodes. But I surprisingly found myself quickly hooked mostly due to the blend of comedy and moody monster vibe. Dylan O' Brien just screamed "star" from the first frame and he alone made it worth watching. It became even more of a must see for me when an actor I liked a lot joined the cast. Now I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge that the show eventually became much too convoluted and stuffed with too many new characters that sadly pushed beloved established characters into the background or offscreen inexplicably for multiple episodes at a time. And with apologies to the rest of the cast who I really enjoy, an episode without "Stiles" is like a cone with no ice cream, pointless. I found the 9 episodes leading up to the finale pretty disappointing with all the new characters I couldn't muster any interest in and so many I do care for all but MIA. And really the story was kind of a real mess. But the actual finale was quite satisfying and it was certainly nice to see all the old faces back together reminding me of why I got hooked in the first place. The last few seasons found me often yelling at the screen in frustration, and the finale didn't fail me in that regard, "Wait, Parrish can emit a heat wave without turning into a full Hellhound and heat up bad guys guns so they are too hot to hold onto to?? Why the hell didn't you do that a few weeks ago when you were all barricaded in the Sheriff station while it was surrounded by people with guns????" or "Really, Scott isn't going to turn full Werewolf even once in the series finale?? You know it's called Teen Wolf right?? What happened to the make up budget??" In spite of the continuous rants and frustrations the last few seasons caused me, it was still always a show I looked forward to watching each week and I will sorely miss it. My thanks to Jeff, the great cast, and the crew who brought us this show. And maybe even thanks to all the inconsistencies and cast defections, it drove me nuts, but engaged and feeling something. And thanks to you Paul, I always looked forward to your updates and news. I'll be checking back in here from time to time to see what's up.
