Kindred: The Embraced 17153-12155

At least 3 different boxed sets of "Kindred: The Embraced" have been produced in the last few years. At what point each was produced I do not know. But, the important difference between the two I have seen, is found in the television premiere episode, "The Original Saga". This review is specifically for the set which has the UPC code of 17153-12155, which I will refer to as, "the orignal broadcast version", or the obv. The reason I even bid on this item is because the last 5 digits of this items UPC matched the numbers on the set of someone I had recently corresponded with who claimed that their version had the original introduction to the character, "Sascha". I bid, I won, it did. This is the (as far as I can tell) ORIGINAL BROACAST VERSION of the premiere episode. If you compare the other version I have (UPC Code 17153-10378), to this one, there are many differences, from the omission of the (I feel very vital) introduction of Sascha, to an extended ending, and between the two there are various subtle differences including insert sequences in major scenes which change aspects of the story. But the version 12155 is the obv, so it is, as far as I am concerned, definitive. Now if they cut the two together, and had no scene omissions, I would probably be able to endorse that as well. The picture and sound are broadcast quality. This show may be a bit... cheesy by some peoples standards. It's depiction of police procedures and attitudes is high fantasy even by Hollywoods usual standards. But it is without a doubt a very good story that grabs you and doesn't let you go. I picture a day when someone discovers this little gem, loves it and remakes it. Maybe even as a series of movies. Until that day, this is the definitive version. One other thing, at the time I write this, E-Bay erroneously has this listed as a 3 disc set, it is not. It is a 2 disc set. There has never been a 3 disc set.
