Natalie and Karen discuss episodes 2×01 and 2×02 of Teen Wolf, along with current news and season 3 spoilers.

Featured Song: “Like Wolves” by David Condos, used in “Shape Shifted.”

Episode 2×01 “Omega”
– New opening! Apparently Derek bakes cookies when he’s stressed? Karen had no idea.
– Why was Jackson in the water at the beginning of the episode? Are we still going to get the answer to this question?
– Wolfed-out running on all fours looks awkward.
– Confusion about the graverobbing scene, but Natalie clears it up – we think.
– Gerard gets a bad-ass slow-mo entrance. Karen’s intimidated. We hate Gerard more than anyone.
– Was Chris really trying to kill Scott when he held that gun to his head? Or was it just to intimidate him?
– Scott, Stiles, and Allison have a super balanced teamwork thing going on in the Jeep. We’d like more of this.
– How has Harris kept his job? Seriously.
– Should we have known Matt was a super-creeper right from the beginning?
– Unanswered questions include, What is that black stuff leaking out of Jackson? and How many werewolves actually exist in the world and how big is an Alpha’s territory?
– What the heck was Lydia doing running around the woods naked for two days?

Episode 2×02 “Shape Shifted”
– Matt’s a jerk. Jackson’s a jerk. But we fist pumped the air when Matt sassed Jackson.
– We felt so bad for Isaac in this episode, but we hated his father and Jackson.
– We once again question what kind of friendship Allison and Lydia have.
– How is Chris okay with torturing the human principal? We think Gerard is super manipulative.
– “It’s Armani.” Natalie ships Scott/Danny.
– We recognize a bit of Kate in Allison in this episode, and wonder how she was okay shooting the cop/hunter with an arrow. (And did she really think she’d get away with that??)
– How do the Alpha dominance powers work?
– We notice that Derek’s personality has changed. He’s now intentionally funny. We like it.

News:
– Zelda Williams has joined season 3! She is amazing and we love her.
– Daniel Sharman will narrate the audiobook for Clockwork Princess. Natalie somehow manages to drag this conversation around to Les Miserables.
– Dylan O’Brien is going to be writing a scene for episode 3×06!! !!! !!!!!! !!!

Listener Feedback:
– More proof Mystic Falls and Beacon Hills exist in the same universe?
– Is Stiles a poisonous friend?
– Do we think Harris is going to play a bigger role in season 3? Do we think he’s going to become an actual Big Bad?
