It's 2 episodes in, and we've already gotten more than we've had in years, but it's somehow not enough? Give me a break. Also, it's not as if my opinion of someone else's opinion is somehow not allowed to be voiced either. You might as well have said nothing to me about it in the first place, you wasted both our times.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth at this point. You and that other guy just crapped over everyone who had a negative opinion about the series, and you continue to do so in this post, so don't act like I'm putting words in your mouth. No, you don't have to accept it for what it is. There is certainly more to be seen with where they take this show, but this past episode was not a positive sign of things to come.

I'll put it this way: They already set the bar with the first episode and how they chose to show the transformations. They set up a very similar scene in the second episode, yet handled the transformations completely different. That is disappointing, even when it's only 2 episodes in, because it would seem to be indicative of how they are going to handle things going forward. Being Human US has already gone down this path. Look at Nora's initial tf, and how they've handled all subsequent transformations. Granted, the show doesn't focus specifically on werewolves, but this was during two seasons that featured SIX werewolves. Everything that followed that tf was "rawr, sharp teeth, this hurts, cut away, now I'm a wolf". That's what people fear, that we've already seen the best, minus whatever the tf from the trailer was, and everything else won't be worth watching.

Like I said in my first post on this subject: I don't care if they only show a tf once every few episodes, as long as they make them count. Honestly, there was no need whatsoever for the scene of them stripping down before they transform, nor Elena beginning the process of changing if you're not going to show anything, which they didn't (minus a 5 second paw change). The effect of the plot point would still be established by just showing them discuss the plan, cut to them snooping around as wolves, show Elena looking around the building, then cut to the following day. It was a poor choice in production, and pointing that out is making a critique of the show, not being entitled.
