You'll find a full chronological listing of the filming of Teen Wolf Season 3 right from the start.

This week - we expose a fake picture of Dylan that had some fans a little too excited about Halloween and we get ages for some of the characters.

 Continuity Disconnect

Keeping up with the timing of when things happen on Teen Wolf isn't hard.


 * Scott was bitten in January 2011.


 * Season 1 ended on February 19, 2011.


 * Season 2 began a couple days later.


 * Season 2 ended in April 2011.


 * Season 3(a) began in August 2011 – the much mentioned “4 months” later.

In Season 3(b) we’re going to have Halloween – meaning October 2011.

It’s not that hard – really. With all that basic timing already understood by anyone with a passing knowledge of the show, how then does Teen Wolf Official release a video that gets the dates so very wrong?

Dead Folks

It’s like they’re not even trying.

Whenever they throw dates, they inevitably screw with the established continuity.

According to this video - all the deaths in Season 3(a) took place in 2012 which doesn't fit with the "four month gap" established from the final episode of Season 2 which was in the spring of 2011.

They can't even keep up with the continuity within this video - while all the other Season 3(a) deaths are listed as "2012" - Erica's death is placed in 2011.

For this video to be right, for Erica to pass in 2011 but the rest die in 2012, the "four month gap" everybody talked about incessantly in Tattoo would had to have covered September, October, November, and December of 2011 because Boyd and Erica were captured and held in the vault for all that time starting at the end of Season 2.

Based on the twitter traffic, Teen Wolf Official is treating this like it’s no big deal and implying that the only people who notice or care are a handful of continuity-obsessed fans.

He’s wrong.

Timing is everything.

This isn’t minor stuff - it’s central to the plot and to character development and should be understood clearly by those close to the production.

Scott’s journey as a werewolf is the primary plot-driver. The amount of time he’s spent on that journey is the key to everything he does.

The same goes for how long Melissa’s been aware of her son’s condition, how long Derek’s been dealing with the death of his family and Laura’s murder as well as how long Peter’s been back from the dead and plotting his… whatever it is he’s plotting.

These MTV Social Media and Marketing folks are smart people who create brilliant campaigns for the show.

These are the same people who came up with “This Might Hurt”, a slogan that shows both a deep understanding of the fandom and an accurate foreknowledge of in-universe events.

They’re not dumb but, every time they put a date to something, they get it terribly, terribly wrong.

It's like they’re just not trying.

 Audition to Die

They won’t get the death-date right on your tombstone but, you can die on Teen Wolf if you win the new Season 3(b) Walk-On Role Contest.



All the details are up at DieOnTeenWolf.com – pretty much all you have to do is read Erica’s death scene and record yourself with your phone.

 E-Spoilers = Riddles

The new E! spoiler is more a tease than a true spoiler – there’s no real plot revealing information here just a couple more details about stuff we’ll see in 3(b).


 * “Sheriff Stilinski is getting some help! A new deputy will be coming to Beacon Hills in season 3B named Deputy Parrish, who is pretty young and very goodlooking.”


 * “Nogitsune, a malevolent man with inhumane movements will also be introduced. Bonus creepy factor: He speaks in riddles!”

So do you EOnline, so do you.
