Tattoo- This episode didn't hold our attention the entire time. Also, the opening scene went on for too long.
It's common for a show to open right in the middle of action, but it's not as interesting as shows seem to think it is. The best opening has tension, but a dialogue-filled tension.
A perfect example would be the opening of Inglorious Basterds.
We're sad to see Jackson has left, because we liked his character and thought he was hot. We're also wondering where Peter is too.
We liked the new female character that the new alpha, Deucalion, might have killed. We hope he didn't.
Also, we're going to have so much fun spelling his name all season. (Sarcasm) Deucalion wants to get Derek to kill his whole pack.
The best thing about the episode was the animal suicides. Very creepy and creative. We loved the bird scene.
We also like the new teacher and the way she started class. We're glad that Scott is focusing on school more, but who studies for the PSATs? Those matter even less than the real SATs.
It looks like it's going to be a good season. Love Allison's new haircut; hate Scott's tattoo. We agree with Stiles. Get a tattoo that means something to you or is funny, not just a tattoo for the sake of getting a tattoo.
As long as we have interaction between Stiles and his cop father in every episode, we'll continue to be happy with this show.
That won't stop us from laughing at the super-buff, manly looking freshman this show is trying to pass off as being 14.
Episode grade: B
Action openings really work, even in the right circumstances, this one just looked too fake/too CGI to have any chance of working. I'm not expecting much for the special effects for this silly little show (in a good way), but this one just didn't work for me.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the show's back though, even if we didn't get to see the coach this ep. Was kinda amusing having all the bad werewolves walking around the hospital with no shoes on/ claws out etc, yet they still felt like it was necessary to put on those rubber hospital gloves even though the claws were poking out.
I'm guessing SATs are what you need to get into uni/college, what are the PSATs, some sort of leadup/preparation?
They are. It's like a pre SAT. No one cares. It means nothing. Your parents might care, but that's only because parents tend to care about dumb stuff like that.
