6B Big Bad & 6Bx01 Meta

If you listened to @twmp #37 this week, you heard me mention 'Memorex' and the catchphrase from the 1980s ads. I am now using 'Memorex' as a name holder for the 6b Big Bad. Here's a taste of my 6x11/6Bx01 meta post: * That Voicemail: Let's venture for a moment that the voicemail is not from Stiles. .....wait, what? Remember during 6A how I repeatedly mentioned that Peter wasn't showing his eyes, and how the last time we see them is as he is caught by Riders? They are blue in that scene, but for the rest of the season, no matter how intense the fight gets, Peter's eyes remain human. In the 6B trailer we get a glimpse of Peter flashing his blue 'wolf eyes, apparently at the location of the Guns Blazin' showdown which is happening later in 6B (I'm guessing 6x19) and that is all we have for his character at this point. All we do know is that we never saw his blue 'wolf eyes during any Hunt interaction. So....what if Memorex used Peter as an Ubernatural to get back to the "real world"? Let's assume Peter is 100% himself until he passes through that barrier, but then *boom* Memorex hops on board and rides Peter out just like Peter is riding the Rider's horse. In the 6B trailer, we see Supes with purple eyes, as well as one of them disgorging what looks to be either purple material like wolfsbane or a swarm of purple spiders. I'm going to guess they're connected and that Memorex would be seen as purple eyes in any Player. Knowing this, Memorex simply doesn't flash them. Memorex has been with The Hunt for (assumably) a very long time, doesn't know what the Hunt knows and can't reliably access Peter's thoughts, so it defaults to "parents love their kids, wolves love their packs"-type thinking, hence the 180° on emotions toward Malia, actions to save Scott, all of the odd moments we saw after Peter escapes the Station the first time. This now could split several ways from 6A endpoint: A) Memorex bailed out of Peter before the final fight and was already inside another body B) Memorex took a backseat & let Peter GTFO Beacon Hills C) Memorex drove Peter to another Player - In 6A, the merging of the worlds happens 3 months prior to the end of the school year. - Monroe states she has been speaking to Nolan "over the summer", meaning she has either been physically around BH or at minimum in contact with some students for a portion of the summer. - Gerard has, after not being seen since Chris Argent shot his ass in 5B, taken Monroe under his metaphorical wing and possibly sent her back to Beacon Hills on purpose (yeah, she could have already been there/had BH in her sights, but there isn't any indication of either, yet) to fit a larger agenda. - In the trailer we see the gang listening to a message while in/around Roscoe that I swore sounded like started in Peter's voice and ended in Gerard's, which (if I wasn't hearing things) could be Memorex using the voices of Players to mock or confuse. - And back to the Voicemail we are! Ready? You're going to hate me, but.... Memorex could have been what/why woke Stiles up at the Station. This explains having ability to sound like him. As far as why, it could be to encourage Scott to leave BH in hope of weakening the protection around Beacon, train switch, Nemeton, whatever. The strategy behind this would be sound, especially if Memorex has learned about the BH dynamic itself or was told of it by an ally in the time from escaping the Hunt & leaving the voicemail. - If that message coming out of Roscoe is from Memorex, being that it happens in the last 2 episodes, does that mean the Faceless Memorex meatsuit is complete and can mimic voices (and possibly faces/people by wearing their skins) or does it mean Memorex is without a body yet able to communicate over radio/frequencies? {**ARGH OK FINE BRAIN FINE JUST SPIT IT OUT: goddamnit, what if Memorex got out by using the radio signal Stiles communicated with Scott & Lydia on in 6x05? Great, brain, now I have to work a way out to get from A to Z on that and writing off Peter's lack of eye flash. I'll do that later in detail, I guess. } Could Gerard be Memorex? Possibly. But if so, I don't think Memorex was what started all the things that Gerard had put into motion. I'd posit that Gerard has already been planning a way to strike back at Scott & BH for Kate, Allison, Argent name and the destruction of LA Betê. If anything, Memorex temporarily taking over Gerard is more likely, especially if It is slowly learning how to absorb knowledge or imitate behavior. If anything, I'd guess a chain of control by Memorex that goes Peter —> Kate —> Gerard with unknown Players between (or even after Gerard). I'm also operating under the theory that Gerard fed the video of Derek to the FBI as well as being the source of Monroe's information, and that he is the one encouraging Hunters & Dogs ("dogs of war" are mercenaries) to head to BH, thereby forming a three-pronged Pitchfork-led attack: Governmental (FBI) , Supernatural (Hunters) and Residential ("mundanes" aka pitchforks). Now, as far as what Memorex actually is or was before/during the Wild Hunt...... Power browning out, more on this later.

Ah ha, so Agent McCall got shot.

Lydia got shot, I bet that's the catalyst for getting in touch with Stiles.

NO MORE HALF MEASURES, that's exactly what I said!

Edit: No seriously I did say exactly that in @twmp #42 (1:07:20~).

[purplepints]

Boom.

Another Ask!

For some reason I keep getting an error, so I’m posting it like this instead. @obessedwitheverything1998 Asks: what do u think could happened to Stiles in 6x10?!

As I mentioned before, I think that they will give Stiles a “Will Turner”-type write off. What’s a ‘Will Turner’? Well, I’m glad you asked! — Will Turner is a character from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies; in ‘PotC: At World’s End’ he becomes the new Captain of the Flying Dutchman, ferrying souls to the other side. As part of the Dutchman’s curse, Will is only allowed on land for a single day every 10 years. As a storytelling narrative, this allows Will to be talked about by characters and still keeps the possibility of a return/appearance open, rather than killing him off or having to frequently explain why Will isn’t around.

So, here’s a few Stiles scenarios:

A) — Giving Stiles a choice to join or lead the Wild Hunt in order to save Beacon Hills lets everyone have their cake and eat it, too. With the Riders acting strange around Lydia AND her name-dropping the Morrígan, we could have a chance at Dullahan & Banshee Queen mythology mashup, baby. B) — Sending Stiles on an “only you can do it” Quest in the “real world” rather than with the Hunt is an option but less of one than Option A because it opens doors to arguments about graduating from High School, etc. C) — Giving Stiles the Bite gets tricky, no matter the reason. The “plan” to Bite and then Hopalong Cassidy with a Ghost Rider is just… No.* The Bite doesn’t seem to immediately grant the Turn-ee all werewolfy abilities, and Peter may have survived in part because he is a born wolf, an ex-Alpha, older, etc., not just a regular Bitten Beta. Peter scraping through does not mean that any other werewolf/supe-with-enhanced-healing would also survive. Plus, if the people in Terminal are in some kind of stasis bubble (no drinking, eating, etc) then the question of transmission also comes up: if the people are ‘on hold’, would the Bite even work? Too many questions…

- I can see Stiles being Bitten (by Scott) to save his life, but beyond that there would be a sea of uncertainty. Their dynamic makes it extremely difficult to imagine Stiles as a Beta that Scott could just pin down or roar into quiet, much less submission if required.

- Now, I could see Stiles approach Alpha Peter and asking for/agreeing about taking the Bite for other reasons beyond emergency ‘Hail Mary’ passes. I can also see Peter sharing information about the Bite (how fast it kicks in, if it is physiologically transferred or magically granted, whatever) that isn’t known outside of born-Wolf families in order to convince or scare away Stiles. Due to his alignment as well as his pragmatism, it’s possible Peter would have better luck with Stiles as a Beta: they’re not childhood BFFs, they’re not Jimminy Crickets and Peter wouldn’t hesitate to take Stiles down if necessary.

- Oddly, I can also picture an Alpha Liam agreeing to Bite an otherwise healthy, uninjured Stiles as part of a plan, too. We’ve seen Stiles help Liam with control, Liam choosing to help Stiles by following Theo, etc. They seem to have a decent older/kid brother-type relationship, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Liam thought Stiles was making the right call by getting the Bite. At minimum, Liam knows that Stiles has been involved with the supernatural longer and is very aware of the downsides/difficulties of being a werewolf/supe, so he’d be going in eyes wide open. I’d guess Liam would fall between Scott & Peter, partially because he does seem to have a brotherly view of Stiles but that view is tempered by Liam’s own understanding of anger/lack of control. I don’t think Stiles would stay in an Alpha Liam-led Pack (unless Scott died or Stiles was somehow Forbidden to leave Beacon Hills), but I also think Liam gaining Alpha -and- Biting Stiles is the most unlikely.

- Of the many 6Ax10 scenarios I have spinning around, Liam or Peter becoming an Alpha by killing Der Gebeiztwolf -or- Scott giving Liam part/all of the “True Alpha” spark rank fairly high tbh. Whether a Bitten Stiles joins the Full Moon Club or leans toward Lydia’s Team Supernatural-ish is another “down the Meta rabbit hole” thing, and chances of a Bite scenario unlikely anyway, so…. D) — Dying? Stiles killed off? Nope and nope. That’s probably the thing I am most certain of. E) — Being Bitten by Der Gebeiztwolf and turning Ghost Rider to survive, —OR— defeating him and so then be required to take his place as Jägermeister —OR— destruction by infiltration after being taken by the Hunt without a deal or exchange for safety of Beacon……these all involve disregarding the Dullahan & Morrígan legend that I mentioned in A for a grunt role or a cursed role instead. Those are on the table, too, but if anything I’d lean toward the scenario of Stiles making a secret deal. He hasn’t had a surprise background plan like S2 Gerard pill swap or S5b Deucalion backroom spying, so Stiles dropping “They’re leaving because I asked them to.” would be a parallel and somewhat traditional someone-is-keeping-secrets Teen Wolf Finale ending.

(note) — one of the hardest things about being “meta-minded” is a constant If This Then That train of thought. Too many variables make predictions hard to nail down or map out to my satisfaction. :-/

Anyway…. the most likely storylines certainly gives Stiles a heroic out, remove him from the 6B main plotlines, and give wiggle room if it ever comes to answering questions about Stiles, his own life, if his future continues to be wrapped up in the supernatural, if he is/will be supernatural himself….but honestly I don’t have a lot of hope that we’ll ever get those details. Imho, 6B will focus on Scott and the 2.0 crew with little Stiles snippets only.

And another BONUS ROUND! - Real-life reasons for a Will Turner ending? We know that O'Brien is going to South Africa to film ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ in the next few weeks and will be probably be in production for roughly 3-4 months. ‘American Assassin’ will be released this year, rumors are saying August/September and since AmAs is the foundation film for an action franchise, a summertime press tour seems inevitable. All signs point to O'Brien being overseas filming or contractually bound to other projects for months. [ Note - I am aware of the rumors re: negotiations for new limited contract but am purposefully omitting this rumor from this post. ] - All that aside, 6B is almost completely wrapped and will start airing very soon (Feb. 7 or Feb. 21 were the most recent I heard about, I’m thinking that February Sweeps aren’t a concern due to S6 being final season) and the entire Season 6A & 6B should be completely done with run by June/July. (you can check my “tw schedule” or “tw biz details” tags for more info)

Thanks for the Ask! 😁

{ No. * = I will go into detail about my thoughts on Scott’s “Bite makes Right!” Plan and how Scott/Peter/Liam would approach the situation after 6Ax10 airs.}
