So my love/hate relationship with Teen Wolf is spinning wildly out of control. I find this odd (and a little distressing) considering I a) hate the main character, and b) have only watched 3 episodes. Whatever, I totally have plans to watch the rest. Eventually. I've already read episode summaries for them, so I know what happens. I just get really terrible secondhand embarrassment from some of the things that happen in the show, so it's hard for me to make myself actually sit and watch.

...okay, maybe hate is too strong a word. Scott McCall is dumb as a stick, but there have been a few moments where I've wanted to pinch his cheeks, not punch them. Perhaps he gets less annoying at some point? IDK. Regardless, this is a situation where I think the fandom is a million times better than the show itself. Of course, I might be biased, seeing as it is a fandom that consists almost entirely of werewolf fic and that is one of My Favorite Things Ever. Also about 90% of the stories are about the characters who aren't Scott McCall, which is only right and proper, imo.

Luckily for my sanity, I'm not, like, tempted to write all the fic. There are stories I want, but for the most part I'm satisfied by what I've found already. Basically, Teen Wolf fandom = candy for Margaret's brain. \o/

In conclusion, you should all read Sarah Rees Brennan's liveblog of season 1. It's MAGICAL.

I read a bunch of fic and then watched the first two episodes. Based on all the Sterek fic I had no idea Scott was even a character! I wasn't really impressed by the show. I may or may not watch more of it.

I know, it's pretty weird that he plays such a minor role in the fandom. Not that I'm complaining or anything. ;) I'm waiting for a weekend when I'm reeeeeally bored to watch the rest of season 1. Right now I have other shows that I'd rather watch. XD

I have read so much teen wolf fic, it's a little embarrassing since I haven't seen more than some gifs on tumblr for the show. Everyone always just tells me that Scott is stupid and they should kill him off... and I just don't think I can sit through that, haha.

Yeah, honestly, gifsets are pretty much the way to go with this. I mean, if there's an episode I think you need to watch, I'll let you know. ;) But the FIC, it's like CRACK, right? Ugh, I love it.

He's a liiiiiittle better this season... super strong at least, so he's not dumb AND weak. There are also characters more obnoxious than him, so he comes off as less horrible now, though he's still the worst best friend ever.

Oh, that's good to know! Makes me despair over him a little less, anyway. I've been reading these brief summaries (http://heathicorn.tumblr.com/tagged/heath-watches-teen-wolf) of season 2, so my perception is a little...off. XD
