So, here we go again. MTV is giving us yet, another teen drama revolving around the mystical and dangerous changes of ones body that they can't control. Enough with this teen angst allegory. We get it. Teens feel alone. Teen Wolves feel more alone because no one is like them, aside the other teen wolves in the town. Just like teen vampires, these supernatural characters feel alone and scared because they can't control their urges and body's desires. That's every fucking teenager, not just vampire and wolves. Granted, when normal teens get out of control it usually ends with a hangover and a case of syphilis, not with anyone dead (in the case of Vs and Ws), but still, Teen Wolf not the only one with control issues. (Insert Premature ejection here.)
I have here a link to MTV's trailer for Teen Wolf. http://www.mtv.com/shows/teen_wolf/series.jhtml
I'm not sure this trailer does the show any justice. It completely takes away the mystery about the show. (Way to tip your hand, MTV.) I watched it and it was like watching the Season 1 recap. You learn who all of the players are, where their relationships go and most likely how their relationships will end. I guess only time will tell how this show plays out, but my guess is that it will be cancelled mid-season. If MTV treats this show like they did Skins, I can just watch Michael J Fox's Teen Wolf movie while listening to a Miley Cyrus album and it will basically be the same show that MTV will show.
