while not the holy grail we all wanted it to be, it was still pretty good. (: im not dissapointeed

Re: Bitten: The Series
 

Interesting - only about 5 seconds more than we saw in the teasers and trailers. Hopefully this isn't the high water mark, but now I seriously wonder. Good content but not head and shoulders above what we saw in ep1.

I could say I'm disappointed but I'm really not, the closer we got to this my expectations lowered. It wasn't bad.

Re: Bitten: The Series
 

Even if the actual TF content on screen is lacking at times, I find that they've been exhibiting a lot of my favorite TF scenarios. Besides, there are still a lot of episodes to go, so there could be some surprises down the road. Maybe even the addition of more female wolves.

Regardless, I've become a fan of the series and I'm looking forward to this series getting picked up again.

Honestly, there's no reason to believe it's not. After how they handled things in the second episode, where they set up a similar scenario for a tf as the first episode, yet glossed over the tf (only showing the 5 second hand tf), it was obvious they would blow their load on two or three tfs, and that's it. This is supposed to be the "big" transformation, and this is what we got. It honestly started as a great scene, until they decided to just stop showing much of anything, starting with the zoom in on the eyes during the facial transformation (T_T), and not showing the feet actually transforming like they did in the first episode. Just another one in the "It's good, but could have been so much more" file...

And you all laughed when I said that I wasn't expecting much. I don't let myself get my hopes up, it makes the crushing defeat of disappointment that much easier to bare. :P

Re: Bitten: The Series
 

I had low expectations as well, I just tried to keep quiet after the uproar that happened last time people were critical of things.

Re: Bitten: The Series
 

Yeah, but in this case I was also confident about the comments done by Ms Vandervoort, so I wrongly assumed that this TF was going to be "the big one". As usually, I was completely wrong and if this scene could be n.1 for anything, it is for "missed opportunity" one.
Anyway, I still suspect that there is some more for this scene that was filmed but was cut for tv release. Yes, this happens all the time, and most of the time we have no chance to ever see it, but from time to time we get nice surprises on DVD. Ehm, I suspect this is not the case, and we get a "that's all folks!" xD.

For the "I like all anyway" people, I am sure that there will be some nice off-screen and hand-face-shoulder TFs to come (<irony>even one behind a semi-transparent window!!! incredibly sexy!!!</irony>).

To end, just with a question: was it THAT difficult to make a TF like Logan's but with her instead?

Note: I have seen some reviews, and what really makes me angry are the comments saying "fortunately we didn't see much of the transformation, so the sensation of reality was clearly reinforcedm in opposition to the cheesy thansformations in the first episode". We got some anti-TF basterds out there too.

Re: Bitten: The Series
 

I'm gonna take this as is and not what it could have been. After this scene wasn't in the first episode I kinda figured it was gonna let some people down. I personally wasn't. Was it the epic it could have been. No but I still like it for what it is. Besides ample opportunity to add for my "bitches" project;)

Re: Bitten: The Series
 

Well don't forget they always have to worry about those pesky things called budget and ratings.

Any given show is only given a set amount to work with. this show can only use so much cgi as the budget allows for any process. As such, the number of onscreen TF's ARE going to be low, because some of the cgi time has to be used for the dogs themselves.

Ratings is also a factor. While it has a female star my understanding is this book and tv series was geared more towards women, so of course they'd want to garner to them to get the highest ratings. This means a LOT more men shown then women sadly, so you're going to have to expect them.

And lastly: Always keep in mind scifi or any public tv channel televised series will NEVER be meant for us, so there will always be a small level of disappointment from a fetish standpoint. They (series producers) have to keep the all mighty dollars in mind when dealing with ratings, so they have to pander to the widest audiences possible. This means keeping things like violence, nudity, and traumatizing transformations (to none fetishists) at a minimum.

TLDR: Keep in mind TV series aren't made for the fetish crowd and keep expectations low to avoid disappointment.
