"Oh my god, did I really kill that guy while in my gay wolf form?"
Reviews for Teen Wolf thus far have been mixed. People under the age of seventeen seem to love it, while those over the age of thirty can't seem to get over the fact that the "teen wolf" does not come from a family of teen wolves as he did in the original movie/TV show and hate it. What people over the age of thirty are doing watching this in the first place is beyond me (though I'm getting close myself). I wanted to call this post "And Yet More Gayness", since I counted three gay references in the first ten minutes of the show and I am now convinced that protagonist Scott's BFF Stiles is going to come out of the closet by the end of the season, but I'll let events unravel in their time. In this week's episode of Teen Wolf, Scott worries that he might have severely injured an innocent man while in wolf form and so he corners Derek, the other wolf in town, who tells Scott that he can teach him how to control his powers. Things get even more complicated when Scott finds himself roped into a double date with captain of the lacrosse team Jackson (AKA Colton Haynes of XY fame). Considering the strong undercurrent of homoerotic imagery in the show, this episode basically was "Gay Lycanthropy, For Beginners". Hmmm... maybe someone wants to... erm... give a young struggling writer a hefty advance to write a book with that title... Just a suggestion.
"Yeah, my bone structure is way too amazing to be double-dating with you geeks. Plus, I secretly like the ding-dong."
