Talk:Derek Hale/@comment-75.177.7.159-20120809124531

You know how many fans saw that the Kanima had "punctured" Derek with its claws in the promo and now they are really worried about him? I've thought about it and I wonder if the toxin would only temporarily paralyze him enough to slow Derek down but not stop him.

Remember in Raving when Jackson scratched both Erica and Isaac that they collapsed to the floor but that Isaac was still able to catch up with Jackson and stop him? The scratch wasn't deep enough to paralyze them totally - it slowed them down but didn't stop them.

Unless Gerard or Allison are close by the take advantage of the situation or if the Kanima was ordered to kill Derek, then perhaps Derek will only be temporarily paralyzed but still be able to fight. What are your thoughts?
