It took me a while to realize why this episode was so wistfully artful: itâs a funeral farewell. Iâm not sure why the creators are so upset, seeing as the only person who seems to be on her way out is Lana. And itâs not like that hasnât happened before.

It’s Jeph Loeb’s fault that I wanted to be a werewolf when I was nine years old. It was the mid-1980s and Teen Wolf, written by Loeb, was my slumber party entertainment of choice. With my weird circle of friends, that also meant re-enacting scenes with werewolf prosthetics made out of double sided tape and harvests from our hairbrushes.
I have to wonder, if I had told Loeb that story when we met at this year’s Phoenix Comicon, would he have still agreed to this email interview? Read more »
