Only by Theo's grace did this show remain as gorgeous, hunky, and muscular as it was throughout S5. (OK fine, I guess Parrish had a minor role in that too.)
But you know, after a lot of time and reflection on season 5B, and with the benefit of distance, I'm ready to reevaluate my stance on Theo. What I've concluded is that having being struck down as he was by his former friends and dead sister (whose heart he needed for good and valid reasons), his prior misdeeds (if you insist on mischaracterizing practical actions taken for the good of Beacon Hills) have all been washed away. Theo isn't just a brave hunk, he's a pure and good-hearted champion of love who sacrificed himself so that Scott and the rest of his jerk friends could waste their days doing utterly pointless things like eating at McDonalds and studying.
Theo, you were too good for them. Too good for the world.

Man, only Scott and Malia are the only characters I care about that are still on it. No Kira fucking sucks, especially with the fact it's because they can't even be bothered to think of ideas for her.
I still can't get over seeing some actual Sterek fans post of wanting Dylan O'Brien as a male Lois Lane.

This is great for Tyler's career but this effectively lessens the chance I'll ever see Derrick appear in future episodes. Someone please tell me I'm wrong. PLEASE.

Giving this a bump because the season 6 trailer is out and it has been confirmed that this will be the final season.

End of the road. "It's the final countdown".

so... dropping Kira from the show but bringing Theo back? Yeah, I'm done with this show. Glad this is the final season honestly
Yeah I thought that was fucking stupid too. Like she can't somehow fit in the new storyline but theo can? Whatever.

with this show's track record for dropping plot lines? I wouldn't hold my breathe

Nah they'll introduce another bland villian and we won't actually ever get to know his backstory or motivations, like the Dread Doctors.

Cool with it being the final season. Predicted as much.

I still haven't watched the trailer. Don't play with my heart...
Edit: Oh wow, it's true! And was that Peter and Parrish? I wasn't sure I could trust this show again after 5B covered up Theo more than a dour schoolmarm and sent him to his sister's totally lame underworld, but he's back and shirt lesser than ever! (In flashback form at least?)
The combined willpower of all you Theo hating jerks couldn't keep him away! It just goes to show that there's still justice for the nicest, handsomest, most muscularest hunkseven if they are misunderstood by people who can't accept their totally justified actions in the pursuit of friendship and/or absolute power.

I can't believe they said they didn't have a story for Kira and brought back fucking Theo and Peter and the trailer seems to completely forget Scott and once again focuses the story on fucking Stiles. Kira is literally the one character who has the most potential. And the fact that apparently a big relationship playing into the season
is Stiles and Lydia is just terrible.

They'll probably find a way to shoehorn Kira in at least for the final episodes of the series. You want to bring characters back for that final showdown type thing. But that's not until 6B

So the dream of Jackson ever coming back is dead. Whelp.
Honestly, I love this show more than I ever should. But one of the things I hate the most about this show is it introduces characters only to gut the cast later on (I never recovered from Boyd and Erica).
I do realize many of the actors wanted to leave but its weird that Scott and Lydia are now pretty much the anchors of the show from the OG cast.

Yeah the writers probably just did this to shut all of those stydia fans up.
I'm never going to forget giving the boot to Arden Cho and her awesome character but bringing back the terrible character that is Theo, like the guy that plays him is hot but that's it. Awful, awful character with the most obvious case of plot armor ever. I'm bitter lol

Pls stop. Hunks on television are more common than they used to be, but hunks on shows that don't shy away from unapologetic homoeroticism and male beauty are still insanely rare compared to shows that sexualize women. Characters like Theo represent something really positive and progressive in modern entertainment, regardless of whether people like their role in the story.
Plus Theo is the greatest. In fact I think we can all agree he did nothing wrong. Besides wearing a top for practically all of 5B, wtf.

I wish. The character was finally reaching towards his full potential.
Bitter Jackson as a Hale subplot was never explored.
But we could write a book on dropped plotlines from TW.
Monocle

Yeah, if there's one thing I could change about Teen Wolf, it's Jackson's departure. So disappointing.

That and being cheated out of Issac and Scott are my biggest letdowns regarding the show's direction.

Great news for Theo fans: the Teen Wolf Comic Con panel confirms that not only is he back for real, he'll likely have some sort of redemption arc where he develops empathy.
Setting aside my profound confusion at the ideas that Theo 1) requires redemption, and 2) he ever lacked empathy to begin with, allow me to leap into the air and click my heels for a second, because this is exactly what I was pulling for ever since people started interpreting his actions as cruel and villainous. Take that, haters! Theo is getting a second chance to heat up Beacon Hills, make friends, and stir our loins!
Great season or greatest season? We're about to find out.

Yeah, the writers have made some odd choices over the years.

Hunk lovers everywhere are united in their approval of this bold new direction. Theo's going to unleash his tanned, chiseled, throbbing morality to melt the hearts of his sternest and most flaccid critics. Make sure you have several changes of pants at the ready.
That ain't right if true. That just isn't fucking right.
Me, I covered every surface of my home in hypoallergenic latex the day Theo's angelic form first graced my TV. Your black light will tell you nothing!
Of course they would redeem him. They want to hang onto Cody for this last season. Whateverrrr.

To be completely and totally honest, who among us would not want to hang onto Cody for this last season? Or indeed, forever?

you can have him
i mean the actor is adorable i just dont care about Theo turning good. Then poor Kira gets tossed to the wind.
Me. They keep Theo who is the worst and got rid of Kira who was awesome. I still can't believe they said they had no more stories for Kira.

Everyone will learn to love Theo, the fresh faced hero headlining Season 6 of MTV's hit series Teen Wolf. After parting ways with a bad crowd and sabbaticalling in the underworld with his undead sister (who RUDELY dragged him along without calling ahead), Theo's back and ready to unpack, unwind, and unzip.
Theo's inspirational story is one that we can all relate to: a plucky young hunk overcoming adversity in the form of hateful and untrue attacks on his character. The chiseled features of his rigorously conditioned torso are an eloquent rebuke to any and all pointed questions about his totally unsubstantiated ethical lapses and megalomania.
Haters thought Theo's story ended with a half-season where he didn't even get to flaunt his Olympian physique, but they were wrong. And foolish. And just plain incorrect in the way wrong people are when they simply haven't got it right! Theo's summer gallivanting has only just begun, and even the ingrates who don't deserve to witness his hunky splendor will benefit.

Not this time. It's up for grabs.
I refuse to believe he didn't move on. Lets be real, its a moment of weakness drawn out by desperation; he didn't mean it.
HE DIDN'T MEAN IT DAMN IT!
Oh wow they are really going through with them being together. Well i guess they can kill off Malia and fangirls will be happy. Whatever this is the last season might as well give them what they want.

Not 100% sold on the direction of this season, but that's mainly because there aren't enough hunks in the promo material. Namely Theo! But it's OK, he's coming back. Everything will be OK.
Stiles who?

I guess somebody else can make a new thread or we can keep using this one.
Anyways, I had no idea this was coming back on tomorrow. I was expecting early 2017.
