Teen Wolf Season 5

Really?
It seemed like simple deconstruction to me.
Tear them down, so what rears the #### back up.
Elements of Othello too, don't you think?
I want to see an episode set in the 80s or 90s to see what shady business Lydia's mother got up to.

Does anyone understand what's going on there? I must say that I have watched all of teen wolf and it's a nice guilty pleasure but it doesn't go too deep in my memory really, so in the next seaon it's all a little blank when I come back to Sunnydale..
I have watched episodes 5.1 to 5.7 now but isn't it really confusing? Maybe I should not surf the internet while I'm watching but there are 4 or 5 "story arcs" that are not always fully understandable. And wasn't it more fun in the earlier seasons? All that bad mood tv... Am I the only one?

I started watching the winter series, which continues the Dread Doctors and Chimeras arc. Every time there's a scene with Lydia in the asylum, it throws me off. Is it a flashback or is it happening in the present? I'm liking the latest eye candy, Cody Christian. 
Yeah, Alphawolf is just getting stabbed by his girlfriend, the bringer of death. I guess that is the future. 
And why are they always in the schools at nights? Don't they have lights?
Yeah, he's cute. Good looking people in a bad lighting conditions. Oh, another slit throat while I write this.

I've had a little trouble following, but things do seem to be starting to come together and it's starting to make a bit more sense. I think they just seem to be going for a bigger, more complicated arc this season, and they just kind of stopped in the middle for the break without really explaining anything yet.
Thanks. Well, the break is behind us, is it not?
I have read the frist three pages in this thread (to avoid spoilers not more.) and I have more or less gotten everything that is important. I'm happy to hear that things will come together. I know it's an MTV teenie show but even for that they have too many "shocking moments" right now (still at 5.7). Every two minutes somebody dies in the most horrible way (in visions), it loses a bit of effect on me. A bit more of psychological suspense over gore and slaughter would be nice. It's still far better than The 100, which I couldn't stand for more than six episodes.
Btw. was it ever mentioned before in seasons 1 to 4 that Lydia's grandma was at Eichen house too? Or is that new?

It was a plot point in Season 4 with the reveal of Meredith being the Benefactor - and Lydia's grandma also being a banshee. It was suggested they met there - but knew each other before her grandmother was actually comitted to Eichen House.
Eichen House is basically Arkham Asylum.

Watching a new episode tonight. The Beast of Gevaudan is after Parrish, who's a hellhound. But the team has to rescue Lydia from Eichen House before she dies screaming and kills everyone around her.
Methinks I'm the only one left who's still watching this. 
Not that I blame anyone; I can hardly make sense of the plot. This show has as much coherence as a daytime soap on acid. Lydia is still in the asylum (but she wasn't always), and Theo's faction and Scott's pack are both after her, maybe to rescue her from Dr. Valak, or maybe save her from the Dread Doctors, who have somehow faded into the background. Hottie Deputy Parrish is a hellhound; he battles the mysterious Beast of Gevaudan for reasons unknown and is also attacked by Theo's faction.
Other than that, the guys are pretty to look at.

I'm still watching too!
As I understand it -
i) Lydia only went into the asylum after the events of Season 5A - we've had two flash forwards (one to 5.15 (her attempt to escape), one to 5.16 (the Dark Pack's attempt to break her out) ) but as of 5.16 she's still in there.
ii) Valak wants to enhance Lydia's powers by drilling a hole in her head - but as she's already a pretty powerful banshee, the enhancement to her powers could be pretty apocalyptic. It would drive her (even more) insane (than she already is) and the scream itself would kill dozens of people around her. Valack did this to defeat the Dread Doctors.
iii) Scott wants to rescue Lydia to stop Valak driving her insane and unleashing her scream, whilst (I think) Theo wants to use the scream to help defeat the Dread Doctors.
iv) The Beast is a chimera, like Theo and Haydon, created by the Dread Doctors, this was their end-game following the creation of the other chimera's in the first half of the season. It may or may not be someone that we know (I've not yet seen 5.16 yet) but the Hellhound fights it to restore the balance of the supernatural in Beacon Hills.

NO! NO!
Bad Teenwolf! Bad Teenwolf!
I hate it when a new producer shows up and says "The wrong kids are ####ing eachother, so lets musical chair these idiots until that one is mounting that one."
Styles and Malia were perfect.
First they firebombed that perfect Xander/Anya ripoff union, for no reason it seemed at the time, but really it was to free up Styles tonight to legally and above board enter into a Xander/Cordelia ripoff union with Lydia... But what about poor Parish and his impressive emotional hardon for Lydia?
BAD!
(Um? Who's Willow in the Teenwolf Universe?)

This is just bad writing overall on the showrunners' part. Theo was in cohorts with the Dread Doctors at some point; now he wants to defeat them.
If he and Dr. Valak are both after the Dread Doctors, then why don't they just work together? Isn't the Beast part of Theo's pack too, since he was created by the Doctors?
No seriously, when did we find out that the Dread Doctors made him kill his sister when she was 7?
I must have been making a coffee.
It was almost funny on Pretty little Liars the other night trying to explain away that the actor who played Theo, wasn't available to also be on pretty Little liars by saying "Mike won't answer his phone."

I'm totally lost.
This season has been a complete blur for me. Didn't it start out with Lydia in the asylum, then flashed back to ''the prsent'' as they began their senior year, and then Dredd Doctors, stuff happened? Honestly, all I can cobble together are pieces here and there. Tuesday nights have been overloaded with so many genre shows, and I haven't had the energy to keep track as some get relagated to backgroud noise while doing other things.
And most importantly, why does Deputy Firestorm's shorts not burn off? Not that I want to see him walking around nekkid and on fire, but If his shirt and pants go, then shouldn't everything flame off? Or just get his uniform made of the same material!

Crystal Reed came back as Marie Jeanne, the Maid of Gevaudan in 18th-century France. I threw up a little bit when I first heard her talk with a French accent. She sounded more like a drunk gypsy. WTF was up with those ugly period-piece wigs and fake mustaches?
Her brother was played by Guilles Marini, who transformed into the Beast. BTW, I think it's Corey, the invisible guy.

It was a little frustrating - she didn't even need to be played by Crystal Reed. It would probably have been better played if Marie-Jean wasn't! And if she became the first hunter - then why did Marcel already know enough to place the ring of mountain ash trees around his cabin, or about the mistletoe poison.
One more point - the original Beast referred to themselves as 'the demon wolf' - wasn't that the term that Deucalion used to refer to himself when he killed off the majority of his pack and his powers evolved? Was he trying to turn himself into the Beast, or give himself similar powers?
I'm still not buying the identity of the present day Beast, though.
