Season One had a sort of lackluster finale because they clearly maxed out their FX budget in the early episodes to build an initial interest in the series.

No. There won't be more better chances than this one ever in the series because:
-In season 1 they did the two first in episode one to "convince" about the viability of the series... I mean, they needed to sell it, and expent some money on it. The one in episode five was going to be "the big one", and we can say that they showed "half" transformation.
-This was the biggest one in this season. The script going in the right direction, the inclusion of Dr. Bauer, the (finally misleading) synopsis... they chose an incredible competent theatre actress (Ms. Street). And they botched. Off screen? Again?
-The last episodes, but in general the whole series, were done quickly so fewer FX had to be planned, for sure.
-The money dedicated for the second season tends to be reduced from the first, here, and also in other series. The FX are the first victims.
-For the rest of the season there are no other female werewolves than Elena. And she is not going to be naked. As I said some posts before, they have saved money and did not contracted a body double.
I am more than dissapointed, so right now I have zero expectations about having anything decent from this series... if you ever read what happens in the compound in the book, you will be overcome with the desire to crush some script writer's head. Or getting them transformed offscreen too.
