Bitten: The Series

Not only do these werewolves not resemble the werewolves in Twilight- which morph nearly instantly into gigantic monstrous wolves as opposed to Bitten which features werewolves that become actual non-fantasy wolves- the book this is based on came a solid four years before Twilight.

I get what he's saying. Personally I also prefer the werewolves that are more or less actual hybrids of wolf/mankind. In other words the ones that stand on two feet and are more monster-y. Yes they may be Hollywood creations but to me those are the real monsters. Those actual wolf things to me are just that, wolves. Nothing really monster about them.

Also: I don't know why everyone's so shocked about the censorship. The U.S is FAMOUS almost to the point of infamy for censoring because they don't want poor little innocent boys or girls watching this stuff to try and imitate or be traumatized by it. The only way they MAY get away with showing nude is outright giving this show an MA righting and putting it on HBO Game of Thrones style. But since that would limit viewership, they decided to go scifi so more people can watch. The censorship is their compromise on this.

As much as the process was good, I don't think the weight of the story will keep anyone interested and it probably won't last but one season. Unless they tune in just to see Supergirl's stunt double's butt, which is the second category I fall into.

Not a fan of the book version? A lot of people would disagree about the story.

My biggest complaint about the book is the fact it resolves the conflict between her desire for a human life and the pack, which is understandable as it was written as a standalone story before the author expanded it out when it proved so popular.

That's my one hope series, that Dexter style they'll use the basic concept and expand/drag it out, that and it stays pure werewolf rather than going paranormal kitchen sink.

Haven't read the books, but I'll tell you what, it's probably because I've been on this forum so long that this story seems passe, to the layman it's probably all new and interesting.

As already noted, the first novel Bitten came out over twelve years ago and predates the big waif-with-a-tramp-stamp-and maybe-a-weapon?-on-the-cover urban fantasy trend. Indeed, the original hardcover was sold as straight fiction; check out the cover below if you don't believe me. IIRC that also makes it older than this incarnation of the board.

The character Elena is rattling around the the back of my head when I do my work, and I doubt I'm alone. And I'm defending the books because I really like the character Elena (although Angua is still my favorite literary werewolf)

Wait, there is a female werewolf in Terry Pratchett's works? Man I have to read those now...

Yep... she appears in all "night guard" series in Discworld books, and she also makes some cameos in other books. Sadly, the descriptions of her transformations don't go further than describing briefly feelings of embarrassment and so on. Anyway, I strongly recommend you all the Discworld books... your best time with books ever .

Well, while on the subject of the books. I found an audio version of the first on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FlKkL5Ze1Y It's read really well, and by a woman with a nice sounding voice. Hearing her describe the transformations and build up to them in first person might be something some people here will enjoy. Though I can't say much about the images they decided to put along with the audio, simple enough to minimize the window and just listen though.

I didn't realize this (as I thought it was a one-time thing), but it appears as though the new episodes will be airing in Canada every Saturday before Syfy's Monday slot. Once again, you should be able to see the episode at least an hour after it finishes on Space.
