Okay! Lessie. I'm totally open the next three days to write a lot, so…

One thing I was thinking of is just looking somewhat briefly at some of the open-ended questions that the series has in it that don't have immediate answers, like who did tell Kate to set the fire, why Alexander Argent's bite is on his side in an identical way to how people who are intentionally bitten have been bitten, if Paige is still alive since we see her taking Derek's pain like a werewolf does and her injury was minor for a werewolf – she only asked Derek to end it because she believed she would die and was in intense pain.

I also wanna do a meta (for my blog, for here, either) on the ways in which the werewolf transformation is hinted to be rooted in genetics and to behave like a virus and, well, how a turning from a bite or a scratch is a zombie virus trope rather than a werewolf trope, per se.

Or there's also my big area of I guess specialty which is film and book references in Teen Wolf which are pretty robust and well cited. They seed the background with relevant books, mention relevant film (and novel) titles in the dialogue, and sometimes when they want to get a point across the visuals reference other media, like I just did one shot comparison with Terminator (http://calicokat-teenwolf.tumblr.com/post/102528509963/the-terminator-teen-wolf-night-school) but I've got a good chunk of material in that area.



(I tend to have the same tastes as them so I've been relentlessly hunting down and watching/reading everything for months.)
