I too, was disappointed by this given that the build up to it was going quite nicely. I'm not giving up on this series just yet though. There's still five more episodes left and I'd like to think that maybe the lack of TFs now are building towards an exciting season finale. 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.

Well, had I not called this shit I would not right now be saying that I can in fact called this shit, but I did, so I am... I called it.


The book remains as always the superior version.

I better prefer not thinking about what could have happened with "Bitten the movie", some years back with Angelina Jolie

Actually, who knows? Isn't Jolie the one who played Grendel's mother in the Beowulf movie?

I dimly recall her mentioning actually enjoying stuff like the tail and "built-in stiletto heel" spurs the character sported(though, I could be recalling wrong) in interviews when the movie had just begun coming out.

I can't imagine a movie version would have been any better than the TV series, especially considering the cast they were shooting for, there would have been no money left for effects after getting their star actors. I would wager that had something to do with it ending up in development hell and then being canceled entirely.

Yeah, it was kind of "what if" thought. Sometimes it is difficult to understand that their budgets tend to be quite tight, as well as other problems (censorship, actors availability and contractual issues, the public target expected by the tv channel, and so on).
I am usually like a "drama queen" when the final product is not what I expected, but in my defence, I really believe that sometimes things could be done in a different way, and sometimes they (producers, script writers, FX artists) don't simply believe in themselves, don't risk at all in their proposals.

Back to the series, and as I said, in terms of female TF there is nothing to expect in this season, and neither in the next ones if they follow up with the events from the books. Said this, I will keep on watching it, as long as I find it entertaining .

Season 2 is finished. Anyone keeping up with it? Were there any good TFs?

It finished long ago, buddy (Space.ca). The quantity and quality of TFs in the show is dramatically decreasing, so during the next season (filming) I expect a nail TF in the best case xD. Prepare, nail fetishists!!!
