User blog comment:ChiicQueen/MTV`s new 'Teen Wolf' bites/@comment-5175469-20120608000707

First, let me say, I think you wrote a wonderful review. But, I don't agree with some of the things you've said. To say the kids on the show aren't good actors is purely opinion. I respect the fact that you don't necessarily like them, but I think some of them are gems.

Jackson for one is fantastic. He really displays the drama going on inside his character with the looks on his face and the pure arrogance he displays makes him such a wonderfully conflicted antihero. Stiles is another one that can really emote his lines well. You can’t help but to like him after he gives such flawless comedic deliveries, especially scenes like the one where he goes to comfort Lydia after the attack at the video store.

Now, I can completely see where why you don’t like the gratuitous muscle shots. There are a lot and I’m sure most are for the lady fans. But… I may be looking into this too much, but showing them without their shirts is a way to show that they’re different now. Scott was awkward before he was bitten and now he’s confident, able to have his shirt off whenever. Jackson is full of himself, so being shirtless should be second nature to him. And Derek was born a werewolf, I’m sure it’s an overconfidence or animal-magnetism thing with him. Stiles, and the other non-werewolves, are not shown without their shirts even if they’re in the locker room too. (Okay, I’m just trying to justify something silly now.)

And for fans of the movie with Mr. Fox, there are plenty of hidden references. Like when Scott and Stiles are in the woods trying to get drunk and he uses his yellow eyes to get the alcohol from a party crasher or when one of the older cast members mentions how ‘in his day, basketball was the sport to play.’ Amongst other references.

So, if you like supernatural shows, give it another shot. It really is very exciting and the actors aren’t all bad. (Can’t defend my boy Derek there.)
