Grieving over the death of the Undead FULL SKULL BABY!

I was extatic when the series aired in 1996 Being a Toreadore myself. The Feel of the different Clans was portrayed extremely well. I was DEVESTATED when it was cancelled. As with Wolf Lake. We Unusual People just aren't enough to keep a good series on air. Now I am overjoyed to have found the entire series on DVD.
A wonderful Series for longtime Vampire fans,or Fledglings.

K:TE vs. V:TM FULL SKULL BABY!

When this show aired back in 1996, there were three types of people who watched it. There were the people who had no knowledge of the role-playing game and just watched the show for the show, there were the people who dabbled in the rpg and had that much more of a deeper understanding of what was going on, then there were your hardcore game geeks(such as myself) sitting on their couches with their checklists saying "OK, that's wrong, and that's wrong, and that's wrong, and that's wrong...." You get my point. If you're expecting something exactly true to the rpg in this show, you're not going to get it. First of all, only 5 clans were covered, there are 13 in the game. Second of all, the Brujah are NOT Armani suit-wearing mafioso types as portrayed in the show, rather they are your clad-in-leather, punk rock street rabble. The Nosferatu wasn't ugly enough, and the disciplines they were using didn't fit their clans much at all. I'm sorry, I have a really hard time buying a Toreador ancilla with four dots in protean (she could turn into a wolf). Now, that being said, lest you think I didn't like this show, I actually did. All of the above complaints aside, It was really compelling drama for the short amount of time it lasted. I would highly recommend it for entertainment value, if not source material.
