Good answer about the intense trauma of turning into a walking snake and learning you killed a bunch of people. Ha Ha. Yeah, you make a good point. Priorities and perspectives on things can definitely change when faced with such extreme life changing events... and literal transformations. Actually, that was my answer to another post on this page about the whole Victoria thing. I should have listened to myself on my other answer to answer this one.

As for the teen love, another good point about the hormones/ chemical reaction. It's not something that immediately came to my mind because I was a stable, non- hormonal teen with a steady BF, but you are 100% correct about that for many teens and actually, it's been proven new love at any age releases chemicals that produce feelings of euphoria. It happens for about the first 3 months in a new relationship, why some people get "addicted" to love in a sense. I rolled my car down a cliff at 16 and lost a close friend at 18 so I never had the standard teen feeling of invincibility either, since that put things in perspective for me at an earlier age than most, but you are correct about that for most teens as well.

Finale was entertaining for sure. I also think it was a fine message to send to teens in a generation of "hang out and hook up" dating... if you turn into a monster and start murdering your friends, the girl you've been hooking up with casually won't be able to save you... but maybe, if you allow yourself to actually commit and love, you can turn into a better monster instead. ;)
