But if Stiles is going to be spending time with Malia, I hope the show takes the opportunity to explore the friendship between Scott & Lydia. Not as a couple, just as friends. Scott lost his first love, but Lydia lost her best friend. I would think there is room for them to bond. I'm also glad they aren't moving *too* fast with Scott & Kira, those two are awfully cute together. It'll be nice to watch their romance grow.<br /><br />The whole opening with them infiltrating the club ended up being a little pointless, since that family wound up not having Derek after all. The moment when Scott got on the walkie and told Stiles to take one of the money stacks off the table would've been a lot cooler if it wasn't all going to be for naught. It's nice to see Scott acting a bit more like an Alpha, though. Both in that sequence and letting loose that roar later on. <br /><br />Interesting threat from Mama Hunter, that if Scott ever turns someone, she & her family will cross the border and hunt him down. I can't see the writers putting that warning out there if they weren't going to pay it off someday. I don't see Scott turning people to build an army the way Derek did in Season 2, but I could easily see him doing it to try and save someone like they teased he might try with Stiles last season.<br /><br />This wasn't my favorite of their season openers, I thought the episodes that started each half of Season 3 were much stronger. Some intriguing stuff, though.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-13399427793278999372014-06-25T13:35:48.720-04:002014-06-25T13:35:48.720-04:00It was an enjoyable episode, but it seemed a bit p...It was an enjoyable episode, but it seemed a bit pointless for the gang to walk up to the enemy hunters and let themselves get captured and tortured. And while I very much like the shift in focus to our three powerful girls (you're right, Panda, it was way too male-focused at the the beginning of the series) I really like Derek and don't want him to disappear from the cast. Maybe they can come up with something cool for him this season.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-60967880983820810972014-06-25T11:32:20.250-04:002014-06-25T11:32:20.250-04:00I totally agree that the setting felt a little off...I totally agree that the setting felt a little off, but I'm more concerned about the Derek reveal. I like Derek, but perhaps you're right that his character isn't as important as it used to be. <br /><br />I love Malia, she fills a hole that Lydia used to occupy but I think Malia works a lot better in that space. Plus her relationship with Stiles is a lot of fun. <br /><br />I'm also happy with the focus on Lydia. She's such a good character and I'm so happy they are finally coming around to explaining her rather unexplained powers. <br /><br />I'm also glad that Kira and Malia are now cast members, they fill the Allison void, but it's good that neither of them are just Allison clones.
