- We're joined by our podcasting buddy Jack (
@jakkfarr) for this discussion of his favorite Teen Wolf character, Lydia Martin!
- So, just how much do we each like Lydia?
- Holland Roden herself holds a very, um, special place in Jack's heart...
- We discuss an overview of Lydia's journey, from season 1 to now.
- How did we respond to her initial 'mean girl' introduction?
- Where did Lydia pick up the mentality of hiding her intelligence to get ahead?
- We touch on her relationship with her mom.
- Jackson is obviously a big part of Lydia's first plotlines - we analyse that relationship.
- The Molotov Cocktail Moment was the first time Lydia really stepped up to the plate.
- We're impressed by the show's drawn out progression of eventual lead characters.
- Why did Peter bite her? He takes the credit for her powers, but is this accurate?
- After her confusion during season 2, season 3 started to reveal more about what was going on with Lydia's supernatural abilities.
- Jennifer may have caused Lydia some trauma, but she also proved that Lydia wasn't just the town crazy girl!
- The scarred neck moment was a huge turning point in terms of how Lydia views what it means to be powerful.
- We discuss her dynamic with Scott, Aiden and Stiles.
- Obviously, Allison's death had more of an impact than anything else so far.
- Flashback to us genuinely not wanting to rehash and record about the season 3B finale!
- What aspect of Lydia's arc in 3B annoyed Jack?
- Season 4 sees Lydia's powers taking their toll - what she can do is much more mentally stressful and traumatic than any of the other characters.
- The banshee thing is hereditary - how does that work? How were her powers activated? We theorize, with lots of pop culture comparisons.
- How is Lydia Martin similar to Bruce Banner?
- What do we want to see for her in season 5? Let's see - lady pals, Parrish, a signature weapon, college and more...
- We read your submissions about why you love Lydia!

Check out Karen's special feature article on Lydia Martin.
- Non Sequiter Section - we're talking about some very specific music preferences and Karen wraps up the episode before it goes, in her words, "even further down the toilet."
