Hey, they're only furry sometimes. And either way I say eh, whatever to each their own.
Even Brian finds the very idea of it to be repulsive.
I think not:"My mother was a Companion. And her mother. And all the women in my family, back to *Hrotti Blackblade. I stayed with my father in the woods until I was old enough for my Trial. We hunted everything there was to hunt. Good training. Ma didn't live long enough to see me join, but I fight to honor her and all my Shield-Sisters through time."
*No Relation. That would just be weird.
Very touchy background, but still doesn't make her an honorable companion. I don't think Ysgramor would approve of her embracing a disease that was invented by a Daedric princes.
Well thats really a matter of opinion on who's right. The whole Beastblood thing does have its advantages, and to Aela the good outways the bad. Also, Aela respects Kodlak's opinions and Kodlak in general, but she believes she is trying to take away the gift of Beast Blood from future companions in his quest for Sovngarde.
The Beast blood is not in control of her. quite the opposite actually. She has always had a long history of hunting with her Da, in the woods. to her the Beast Blood is an amazing surge to her primal instincts. Plus its hot as pl***. I hope she comes out of it in time to head to Sovngarde, but even if she doesn't I still have Mjoll.
Not really much of an opinion. The fact to the matter is that the leader of the companions is no other than Ysgramor, and hes not a werewolf. I don't think he had ever wanted his hard work to go down the toilet by letting it get infected by daedra influence, and that is exactly what happen when one of his Harbingers, Terrfyg , tarnished the very concept of the companions by making a deal with the glenmore witches. Historical point of view Ysgramor and his 500 companions prevented the snow elves from gaining such great magical artifact in Saarthal. I can't see him agreeing with the worship of the beast blood to gain advantage. It goes against what the Companions are suppose to be.

"If he's worried about some mead-swilling afterlife in Sovngarde, he's free to pursue it. I'll take the glories of the hunt right here." <~~~ doesn't sound like a true member of the companions but someone who has a bad attitude.
What does it mean to be a Companion?

"
We try to uphold the legacy of Ysgramor.
To bear his good name such that it never be forgotten, and always be spoken with reverence." - Vilkas
I suppose I should take back my dumb comment regarding to Vilkas and farkus. Aela and Skor deserves such title since they're blind and heavily corrupted by the influences of the beast blood.
The dialogue after Vilkas is cured.

"I can breathe more deeply now. I can't smell your heart beating the way I used to. But my mind is... clear."
and
"Now... I'd like to spend some time communing with Ysgramor. My soul is clean now. Perhaps he'll still welcome me when my time comes."
