So, as others said before, don't get too high on this buddies. I still say that our only hope was Freeborn, and it seems that the project has gone back to limbo again... I say this due to the similarities with the Bitten show, that could close forever the door for the release of Freeborn.

Unless I'm missing something, anyone who expected any type of nudity out of this was/is completely clueless. This is being shown on a cable television network, not effing Showtime or HBO.
As far as the length of the transformation, the initial one (the one in the cage) will probably last a bit longer to establish the theme of how stressful transformations are. Everyone after that will likely be a quick "Oh shit, she's changing!", then quickly moving on. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw many transformations at all over the course of the season. Being Human will go quite a few weeks without any, though the show does focus on more than just werewolves, and they stick very strictly to the notion of full moon transformations only.
As far as Freeborn is concerned, I think it still is the best hope for a really good transformation scene with process and great effects. I think they're aiming high at trying to pitch the concept as a show, and that will put them back in a level of development hell. However, the fact that they actually pushed forward with all of these efforts to get funding, and actually started casting people (and shot a pilot) is encouraging. They're still working on the stand alone transformation video, so all we can do is wait on that to come down the pipe eventually.
