Everyone knows the producers said they have no ideas at this time for Season 5. Truth be told, I believe they are simply debating. They've chosen an ingenious route with this show. Rather than delving in vampire legends to go alongside the werewolves, they've chosen...pretty much everything else! And that is the purpose of this post: to see what else they could explore without resorting to using pale bloodsuckers.

Season 5a: It's obvious they are going to explore the whole "desert wolf" thing in the first half of the season; which could imply more South American mythological explorations. They'll also explore Parrish's nature and I agree with those who believe he could be a phoenix, which is based primarily in Greek legends. I doubt Jeff will delve into those myths very much due to the fact that a lot of people (like us) are pretty familiar with those kinds of myths. After all, he didn't spend TOO much time delving into the Celtic myth of the Druids (if so, we would have had a COMPLETE season focused on them), and yet he made them a very interesting and entertaining addition to the series. Hell, werewolves themselves come from Greek myths as well. But if he does decide to go that route, he should throw in some stuff about Griffins, Harpies, and even Sea Monsters (a friend of mine also means "mermaids"). But like I said, I seriously doubt he'll delve into something most are familiar with and this is merely a VERY, VERY, VERY wild guess (with a little bit of hope on the side).

Season 5b: I was discussing this with my co-worker/friend a few days ago. What if, maybe, just maybe, they decided to delve into...Egyptian mythology? There's ALOT of material in there. The most obvious is the inclusion of the sphinx (and I know it would be very complicated for CG purposes, though I can still hope, right?) and the powerful god of the dead, Anubis: who resembles a jackal, a member of the canine family just like wolves (Scott and Derek), coyotes (Malia), and foxes (Kira). Of course, Egyptian myths may be complex to integrate into even a show like Teen Wolf, but hey; they fit Japanese myths in here didn't they?

All I'm saying is that every culture is rich with some form of mythological and legendary background, so I don't see how they could not have any ideas. Shoot, they could even explore cliched' cryptids like bigfoot, the abominable snowman, the yowie, the loch ness monster, el chupacabra (this one could be for Season 5a and might be a great subplot to blend with the desert wolf story), and simply because I'm from the state with the same name and would love to see this on screen: the Jersey Devil. Sure things like the Fountain of Youth (hahaha btw to Sheriff Stilinski's reactions to young Derek) and the alternate supernatural dimensions is pushing it, but there's really no reason for why they shouldn't have any ideas.

What do you guys think about my ideas, above? More importantly, do you agree that they are merely debating amongst themselves about the steps they're taking next after Season 4's disastrous ratings as opposed to their claims of collective writer's block? Give it to me straight, below!
