The only thing was that women cannot survive the change, and she spent about a minute huffing and puffing through something that should have killed her. Unless they come back to why it was so easy for her, the budget, time limits, and writing (specifically) for the episode should have considered this for a better payoff. Even if we didn't see anymore transformation detail.

By the way, I think I owe you this:

It is the graphic novel about how Elena was turned into werewolf. The graphic novel is supposed to be canonical, and not an effort from a fan or something like that. So, after reading it, you should imangine how could it have been in a "HBO style"... Moreover, contrary of what happened in the episode 5, it gives off a clear idea of why Elena clearly decided to go back to the pack.
About the comic itself, it is quite short, so you can read it in 5 minutes :).

Sorry buddy, I'm not the owner... anyway, it's not hard if you search a bit through internet. I am not sure if I still have a copy somewhere... let me have a look.

On Syfy.com, the synopsis for the next episode reads "With their existence threatened, the Pack must put their personal issues aside to survive. Plus: Get ready for a werewolf transformation unlike any you've seen before."

I'm not saying that everyone should get their hopes up again, but at least it seems Syfy channel is at least vaguely aware that one of the selling features of a show about werewolves are the transformations. It's also a pretty bold claim to make, so I hope they bring something interesting to the table. Fingers crossed for tail growth. I certainly haven't seen that before in a major release.
