Why post positive stuff about it when you're here to sing it's praises? There's plenty that I like about the show, but it could be about 600% better with just the tiniest bit of effort from the writers. Like, I have NEVER seen a show that had so much of questions raised in the canon answered in interviews, it's appalling. And you should be appalled by it, except, y'know, unless they're paying you not to be. But I want the show to live up to its potential, and I keep telling myself it'll get there (even though rationally I know it probably won't.)

Most of the time I've seen someone present a "plot hole" to Lord of the Rings, it's usually got an answer. (For instance: "Why didn't the eagles just fly them to Mordor? Wouldn't that have been easier and safer?" "Uhm, remember how those flying dragons things?")

And I'm not even addressing overpromising an audience and not delivering, that's a whole other issue (Teen Wolf is guilty of that as well, but it's mostly because of actors leaving so I'm sympathetic) -- I'm simply talking about world building a believable fantasy world. Game of Thrones does that. And it is important to the success of of any of the biggest fantasy franchises.

And the thing is, if you do it right, you can tell your story and reveal the world you've built all at once.

And, no, Paul, it is not a leap. It's a tiny step. You are aware Teen Wolf is on television, yes? It has visuals you can watch? It is not a radio drama? So you need to take body language -- which is specifically acted and specifically directed in every shot -- into account? His body language isn't at all hesitant about whipping out his claws in front of her.

By the way, I'm rewatching this part right now and lo and behold! You're inferring that Derek told Kate. She tells him he did -- she's not exactly a reliable source and he has no recollection of telling her. Evidence says: we don't know how she knows about the triskelion -- but logic says, he probably did tell her, just after the point he regressed to.
