darkemeraldsHOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
*eyesravurian eyeingly*
I started watching Teen Wolf just...let's see here...three weeks ago. I completely dismissed it based on all the obvious things--its title, its promotional images, its general air of dumbness. Really, I need to remember that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" sounded just as stupid in its day.
Now, TW is not quite Joss, but I gotta say after this week's episode "Battlefield" that it's starting to think about approaching that standard. I have mainlined all 23 extant episodes--several of them twice--in the past three weeks, and have luredvampirefan into the pack. I am reading fanfic. I am considering writing fanfic. You know how rare that is.
I know everyone else is already watching it, so I won't prose on. I just want to add that the sixteen-year-old in me has a huge crush on Jackson, the thirty-year-old in me is hot for Derek, and the timeless winged being of my soul adores Stiles.
Stiles is Willow and Giles and a bit of Xander all rolled into one perfectly heroic best friend character, played by a boy with a beautiful face and his heart on his sleeve, and I just love him so.
(And so does Derek. All the fic says so, and I agree.)

9/8/12 17:29 (UTC)Yeah. I don't know what it is, exactly, but that boy just throws himself out there, vulnerability ablaze, and it's going to be very interesting to watch him grow as an actor. Even if he goes on playing Stiles-like characters the rest of his career, it'll be wonderful.
