 Only 3 More MOONDAYS till the Debut!

countdowntest

Look at those numbers drop! That's our countdown to the Season 4 MTV Teen Wolf Premiere on June 23rd (just three Moondays away).

Now's a good time to take a look back at the production of Season 4 - we've got all the action from the set archived on our Teen Wolf Behind the Scenes page.

 Are We Having Fun Yet?

I was one of those who spent more than a couple hours Friday night trying to crack the “Who is the Benefactor” code in order to see the first full trailer for Teen Wolf Season 4.

It was not fun.

Looking at those 16 blanks was terrifying.



I dove into the code for whoisthebenefactor.com, wherein Teen Wolf Marketing had hidden an email address. I saw on tumblr where words and Morse code had been scattered about various sites and sources. MTV even pulled Teen Wolf Wikia into the game by emailing me a picture Meagan Tandy with a phone number reflected in her glasses and I quickly spread it through our various social media sources.



You may have realized by now that I’m not giving away the words I managed to find in the hunt. If you want them just visit the Teen Wolf Wiki Twitter or Tumblr sites.

While I was drawn into the code breaking scavenger hunt, quite obsessively at one point, it remained far more frustrating than I think Teen Wolf Marketing expected. I think they overestimated the “Fun Factor” and created a nightmare scenario wherein fans were faced with a final exam for a class they never took.

The sentiments expressed at the whoisthebenefactor hashtag were evenly split between those trying to figure things out and those angry that they had to jump through hoops to see what is essentially a commercial for a TV show.


 * @MartinElisa_ - I don't know who is he, but I hate the benefactor!! #TeenWolf #WhoIsTheBenefactor


 * @missss_MARY_mac - The cast of teen wolf is laughing at our fandom right now. Jeff Davis you suck #WhoIsTheBenefactor


 * @Shami1412 - I've been collecting different versions of the code,c'mon guys we can figure this out!! #WhoIsTheBenefactor #TeenWolf


 * @SDTeenWolf - How many of you are figuring out #WhoIsTheBenefactor puzzle ever since Rachel tweeted "Who is the benefactor?" 14 hrs ago like me? Anyone?


 * @Howlin4Stiles - Invalid sequence order😤! How r we supposed to bloody know the correct order of gibberish made up crap? #TeenWolfTrailer #WHOISTHEBENEFACTOR

It seemed by early Saturday morning most fans had given up – despite the fact that almost all the words had been confirmed by the MTV folks. Speaking for myself alone – I gave it up because failing over and over again isn’t fun.

It might have been a different story if there had been some sort of reward, partial credit perhaps or, at least, some indication that you had placed a word on the right line.

Simply being told over and over again that you’re not good enough wears one down.

 Vienna Calling

Envy the Europeans today. They’ve got many of the Teen Wolf Cast in Vösendorf just outside Vienna in Austria for Alpha-Con.

So far I’ve not found any video from the event but there are tons of pictures floating around.

 New Gigs for some Old Friends

Sinqua Walls (Boyd) is on a new show.

He landed alongside 50 Cent on the pay cable network STARZ last week with a tasty role in the new crime show Power. The reviews are mixed but mostly positive.

Check out the details in the New York Times.

Gage Golightly (Erica) has a new pilot over at Amazon.com.

You read that right, Amazon is still trying to make like Netflix and create original programing.

From what Deadline.com is reporting, Gage is in a new sitcom set at a Jewish country club. She’s playing the lead character’s girlfriend.

 Spoilage

There are lots of spoilers floating around, mainly because MTV sent out a bunch of rough cuts of Episode 401 to folks who write about the show.

Hmmmm, folks who write about the show – kinda like me. I guess mine must have gotten lost in the mail. Damn Postal Service!

Attempting to put my ongoing bitterness aside for the mo, these advance previews have resulted in a number of plot points being leaked. Which is surprising considering the obviously high standards employed in selecting those few who are privileged enough to get on the mailing list.

I’m not going to report the spoilers here. I’m not even going to link to them here. If you want the info just do a google news search for “Teen Wolf” and you’ll find them.
