There's one major gap in my teen drama education, though: Teen Wolf. I know the basic premise and I've seen clips here and there, but I've never actually sat down and watched the show.
I finally decided it was time to watch the pilot. So, without further ado, here are all the thoughts I had while watching the first episode:
🚨 Spoilers ahead! 🚨
1. Scott's American Eagle hoodie and Bieber haircut just took me back to eighth grade.
2. Why is every teen’s first instinct in these shows and movies always to try to find the body themselves?
3. Okay, uh, I know they didn't want to get in trouble, but I feel like it probably would have been safer for Scott to just get a ride home from Stiles and his dad instead of wandering the woods alone at night like this.
4. Ouch! That bite is definitely gonna leave a mark.
5. Why does every high school bully in these shows always have this exact haircut?
6. I do not miss syllabus day.
7. “How has she been here for five minutes and she’s already hanging out with the popular clique?” Someone finally said it!
8. As someone who grew up in California, I can confirm that lacrosse is indeed this big of a deal.
9. I want Dylan O'Brien yelling "aroo" as my alarm every morning.
10. Oh, hey, Derek. Lookin' mighty fine in that leather jacket.
11. I feel like your eyes turning gleaming yellow is a definite clue that something is off.
12. I’m getting major Jacob from Twilight flashbacks while watching Scott run through the woods shirtless.
13. Is a werewolf bite considered a performance enhancer?
14. “Everything else is cream cheese” is definitely not a phrase I’ve ever heard in my life.
15. Bend it like Beckham, Scott.
16. I feel like it’s probably a good idea to cancel a date if there’s a chance you might turn into a werewolf and kill them under a full moon.
17. Did people actually just straight-up tell their parents they were going to a party in high school, no questions asked?
18. I feel bad for Allison, but I guess getting ditched is probably preferable to getting mauled by your date.
19. Okay, Teen Wolf werewolves are way scarier looking than Twilight werewolves. Sheesh.
20. Do werewolves get cold running around shirtless like this all the time? Or do they have natural body heat that keeps them warm?
21. This right here is the definition of friendship goals.
22. I honestly would not be that quick to forgive someone for leaving me at a party like that.
23. Oh shit, Allison’s dad is the hunter from the woods?! THAT'S gonna complicate things.
What a wild ride!!!
