Bitten: The Series

[Northwind]

I just got the blu-ray for season 1. Guessing the "deleted scenes" on the cover aren't TF related?

Out of curiosity, does Elena get power bloat over the series of novels like, say, Anita Blake does?

...have I already asked this?

Of the three books I've read, no. She doesn't get more powers over the course of the series, she's just a werewolf the whole time as far as I know. I have the fourth book featuring her but I've yet to open it, though I very much doubt she'll become half wolf/half bat/half dragon/demon/zombie/ghost/alien/golem/pacman in it.

Hmm... does that mean Anita Blake and Ichigo from Bleach are the same character essentially? Apart from Ichigo's apparent lack of sex drive I guess.

Just to add, in the books she does not get control over her TFs (in terms of reverting back in danger/anger situations) as she did in the series... what is really a shame, and ruins some interesting possibilities.

Mooock!! Error.
The character of Sondra Bauer has not been cast for the second season. And as I said some posts before, the script writers have taken a divergent line from the books... they will probably take some elements from them (e.g., the Coven) but others would be sadly disappear, and I suspect that the whole imprisoning scenario from the second book will "poof" as it had never existed xD.

Then it is likely for the character of Rachel, the girlfriend of Logan who has been kidnapped by very malicious werewolves...

Maybe Our Rachel could increase the number of she-wolves in the pack of Stoneheaven.

If it is as you say, which have undermined the book, anything can happen ...

They went so far off the source material I don't expect season 2 to resemble any of the books.

So, do you think there will be any TF scenes worth watching this season?

I don't expect there to be anything better than in season 1 as far as TFs go. There will probably be zero involuntary TFs and those we see will probably be less dramatic and less painful in appearance. The teaser seems to indicate that the other supernatural characters from the books will appear, vampires, demons, witches etc. The more of those we have the more the werewolf characters will stay in human form, very little transforming, instead the werewolves will be relegated to using their heightened senses, enhanced strength, and moderate level of regeneration to confront all the baddies.

So I fully expect this to turn into a poor imitation of Buffy but with more sex. I would love to be wrong though.

I wouldn't necessarily say that there will be zero involuntary TFs this season. In SyFy's version of Being Human, there was an interesting plot involving a witch that led to said witch causing an involuntary TF with one of the werewolf characters because of her magic. Something similar could happen in this situation. I'm going to stay positive. Despite the lack of TF content, I still enjoy the show, so I'll be tuning in regardless. The addition of some more supernatural characters is gladly welcomed. Werewolf mafia family can get a bit tiresome after awhile.

What SyFy does with Being Human doesn't really apply here. For one, SyFy doesn't make Bitten, it's made by Space in Canada, then SyFy airs a more censored version later. Cutting down the nudity from what airs in Canada basically. Secondly the writers for the TV version hold just close enough to the book version that we won't get any involuntary TFs on TV that didn't happen in the books. They're going off the later books now, loosely anyway, but the involuntary TFs in those were sparse. There is perhaps only one more, and if they don't use a particular scene from the books it won't appear at all. They've apparently already decided that Elena is supposed to be some special werewolf who has gained greater control of her transformation than any other werewolf for the TV version (this isn't the case for the books, at all, TV version pulled this out of thin air). That entire idea comes from an apparent desire to have her transform less frequently, to avoid the clothes tearing transformations from the book entirely, and probably to reduce the number of nude scenes that would need to be edited down for TV. They've chosen a conservative and practical approach rather than one that's true to the source material. They randomly killed off the boyfriend character rather than have the more complicated break up too. So many of the decisions they made for changing the story come from a position of pure laziness that I can't stand to watch it.

When it first came out I had high hopes, I wanted it to be good, I appreciated that it existed at all when it never should have gotten off the ground, but it quickly became evident that the source material was discarded for the most part. It lost too much in the transition from print to screen, it hurts to look at.
