Bitten: The Series

[Kantomaster1111]

I like the second transformation for two reasons: the first is the inclusion of a tail (thank John Fawcett for that one).

The second reason is that we now know what Elena avoided, and another clue as to why she may be a special case (aided by the fact that she is the only werewolf to ever suppress the change). The story would be finally starting to move somewhere, if only the rest of the writing was stronger.

My biggest problem is that they really didn't make enough of a deal of her first change. It was kinda like "Ow, this hurts", "Deal with it, or you'll die", "Ow again", and it was over. I have no idea how the book described it, but the scene (ignoring the tf parts, talking strictly storywise) was underwhelming to be depicting something that was so dangerous to Elena.

I suspect (and this is just a personal opinion) that both the director and the FX guys had in mind something a bit more expectacular, or at least something similar to what we saw in the first episode with Logan's TF. Unfortunately, Ms Vandervoort is a definitely nudity dodger, and maybe it made impossible to show certain camera angles in which the body double (the cute Kristen Pizycki) would have been quite obvious. It's a nice theory, isn't it?

That was my problem, too, which is why I think they're trying to make up for it through other elements of the story.
