Just a Blue Haired Mom

My son posted the link from Paleyfest on my Facebook feed this morning, and of course my heart sank. I thought about it, and then tried to dismiss it, because I’m insanely, life-changingly, thousands-of-dollars busy at the moment, but I found I couldn’t. I had to think about it a lot more, and I had to post on it. Even now, I should be packing, because I’m driving to Rochester today and I’ve got a ton of things to do before I leave, but (sigh) here I am.

I know some people are continuing to hope that Hoechlin will still be in many, maybe most of the episodes, like the parents, but I honestly feel the writings on the wall here. I’ve giving Teen Wolf plenty of benefits of the doubt and it’s never come though. I have to learn from that.

For what it’s worth (which is nothing) I do believe there was a time when Jeff was planning on making Sterek a thing, and nothing will change my mind on that. But it wasn’t meant to be. So many, many, many things effect the way decisions are made in the Entertainment industry, more than we will ever know or honestly want to know. It’s kinda like how you never want to see how Sausage is made, especially if you like sausage. 

And the shoe drops.

And suddenly, a whole mess of things make a little bit more sense. I’ll be honest, I’ve been hedging my bets on Sterek happening since the close of season 4. I believe that Sterek is what Jeff planned, I truly do and nothing is going to change that. 

But... (so many buts) the show has always been at the mercy of the actors and it’s always been excellent at supporting them and putting their interests first, even if it meant the show suffered, and I can only praise them for that.

And then there’s network and producers, who didn’t want to put their eggs in that basket. Here’s where I think they made a bad call. I think a Sterek romance not only would have saved the show, but given it a huge boost in ratings and in media. But that wasn’t my call. (Obviously)

So, suddenly the rumors of a feud between SH and Holland make a whole lot more sense. DOB has clearly got the biggest star power in the show, and it’s in any actresses best interest to be in as many scenes as possible with him. Holland was a true Sterek believer, but if that was never going to happen, she’d be wise to get her character as close to Stiles as possible.

And I’m also wondering how (if at all) the reshoot of the season finale was influsensed by Hoechlin leaving? They probably knew during the reshoots. Yeah, I know, the ‘official story’ is Hoechlin decided to leave while filming his movie after the filming of Season 4, but honestly, I don’t believe it. After all, as soon as the season finale aired, they were taunting us with one of the regulars was leaving. I think they knew, and I wonder how that effected the reshoot.

Of course, i have no hard feelings at all towards Hoechlin. He tried to let us down gently after all. All those conventions where he was just ‘no’. Yeah, well, there we go. I’ve heard rumors that he might follow Colton’s footsteps and get a show on the CW DC lineup, and I hope he does. That group of shows has been doing really well, and it looks like it’s got legs for a long, sucessful run.  Plus, we all know how close Tyler and Colton are in real life and it’d be great if they could get the chance to work together again.

Hey sweetheart! (Yes, of course I mean you)

Saturday was 'Take my son back to College day!' 6 hours of driving each way. Started at 11am, got home at 1 am. Oy! But its done and I'm hoping Nick has a great semester. His plan at this point is to transfer in the fall to Albany, which will be only an hour away. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

And yesterday (Sunday) we had a nasty ice storm, so my 4 hours shift at work suddenly became a 7 hours shift as other people called in. Not a huge big deal, but meant I just crashed when I got home.

Today is an At Home day. Thank Goodness! I'm currently doing a dye job on my hair, which means 2 hours of not moving much, during which time I'm going to Tumblr and swatch some of the new Nail Polish I haven't tried yet.

Over the last couple months I've discovered Indie nail polish and I'm seriously hooked. I love the creativity of Indie brands. I've even got two TEEN WOLF inspired polishes- True Alpha and Sterek. :D I'll have to share some pictures.
