I'm just an average person with an average life. College student. Loves Teen Wolf. My fav, Derek, is gone but I love the rest of the pack. My fav episode? Yaaaaaaaa...good question. I loved Motel California, Season 3 but watching Dylan O'Brien in Season 5, Epi 10, in the rain; Stiles telling Scott he is only human. Wow. Powerful $hit. Dylan is an excellent actor and I think he has only scratched the surface of his true acting talents. My hope is that he goes to London, or some place other than Tinsel Town to make movies. Hollywood will ruin him. As it has so many other actors. But I am not his agent or his mother, so whatever he decides is up to him. As for the other actors, I think they will do well after TW but...

This show is unique. Very unique. Oh you can critisize all you want. We could nitpick and find all sorts of issues with it. Buy why? It's a television show, not a cure for cancer. The show has great writing, characters that we have to come to love, and of course the dynamic actors who play them, and a show that we can't wait to watch week after week. When a television show does that, it's good. It's damn good. When Moms and their Daughters are watching the show together...it's damn good. When guys are not afraid to say 'Hell yeah I watch Teen Wolf"...it's a damn good show.  But what about the ratings?  Okay, you got me there.  The ratings have dropped.  I'm not sure exactly why but I do have a possible idea.  It has to do with a question from Comic Con NY October 10 2015.

A young lady at CCNY got up to the mic and stated that she felt that the show had grown darker over the past few seasons. This is a sentiment that I believe has been felt by many and I do mean many fans. Jeff Davis acknowledged this. Let's face it, Davis wanted TW to become darker as the seasons progressed. Why? Because Davis can't write all about holding hands and playing kissy face behind the bleachers and have cred. Yes, the boys are cute and the girls know how to put on makeup but that isn't enough to create a successful tv show. If the writing isn't strong, riveting, mesmerizing, jaw-dropping, nail biting, knee shaking, tear jerking, fist pumping, scream worthy...then you will find another to show to watch. Simple as that. So why did I say I think the actors after TW will do well but...

It's like I said. TW is unique. Yes, there is Supernatural and Vampire Diaries, etc., and they are doing well. (Editors note:  I have not seen these shows so I cannot give you any sort of perspective on them)  However, once TW is done and over with, it may be difficult for some of the actors to find that fit again like they have now with Teen Wolf. To give all of themselves into that one character again. To make the emotional investment. TV shows come and go with great regularity. Movies do well and movies can bomb badly at the box office. One or two bad films can quickly turn you from an up and comer, to a "whatever happened to?" in a few years time. My hopes of course is that ALL the current, future and past TW actors go on and do well in their careers.

And as far as ratings are concerned. That can change. They can improve. But I'm hocked off about the new day and time starting in January. MTV has TW competing against some heavy hitters like The Voice during their time slot. Let's hope everything gets DVR'd while the viewers tune into Teen Wolf. Fans have been so used to Moonday. I feel like MTV is smiling at Jeff Davis and telling him to (clap your hands loudly as I write this) WRITE 20 MORE EPISODES!!!!! (stop clapping) But behind his back there is a big wig mahogany row meeting deciding to put TW in the Tuesday slot to watch it crash and burn. Do they no longer have belief in this show? Do they think fans have grown tired or will grow tired after 5b? I wish I was a fly on the wall during that meeting.

As a fan of Teen Wolf I can only show my support by watching each and every week; then going on my favorite blogs and community pages to talk about the latest episodes and hoping, some day, they will have a comic con near me so I can go. If you are reading this. Thanks. I hope I didn't bore you.
