Karen and Natalie are joined by Jack for this special Lydia Martin character analysis!

Featured Song: “Rabbit Heart” by Florence and the Machine

– We’re joined by our podcasting buddy Jack (@jakkfarr) for this discussion of his favorite Teen Wolf character, Lydia Martin!
– So, just how much do we each like Lydia?
– Holland Roden herself holds a very, um, special place in Jack’s heart…
– We discuss an overview of Lydia’s journey, from season 1 to now.
– How did we respond to her initial ‘mean girl’ introduction?
– Where did Lydia pick up the mentality of hiding her intelligence to get ahead?
– We touch on her relationship with her mom.
– Jackson is obviously a big part of Lydia’s first plotlines – we analyse that relationship.
– The Molotov Cocktail Moment was the first time Lydia really stepped up to the plate.
– We’re impressed by the show’s drawn out progression of eventual lead characters.
– Why did Peter bite her? He takes the credit for her powers, but is this accurate?
– After her confusion during season 2, season 3 started to reveal more about what was going on with Lydia’s supernatural abilities.
– Jennifer may have caused Lydia some trauma, but she also proved that Lydia wasn’t just the town crazy girl!
– The scarred neck moment was a huge turning point in terms of how Lydia views what it means to be powerful.
– We discuss her dynamic with Scott, Aiden and Stiles.
– Obviously, Allison’s death had more of an impact than anything else so far.
– Flashback to us genuinely not wanting to rehash and record about the season 3B finale!
– What aspect of Lydia’s arc in 3B annoyed Jack?
– Season 4 sees Lydia’s powers taking their toll – what she can do is much more mentally stressful and traumatic than any of the other characters.
– The banshee thing is hereditary – how does that work? How were her powers activated? We theorize, with lots of pop culture comparisons.
– How is Lydia Martin similar to Bruce Banner?
– What do we want to see for her in season 5? Let’s see – lady pals, Parrish, a signature weapon, college and more…
– We read your submissions about why you love Lydia!
Check out Karen’s special feature article on Lydia Martin.
– Non Sequiter Section – we’re talking about some very specific music preferences and Karen wraps up the episode before it goes, in her words, “even further down the toilet.”
