Comparison between the HD version and the original version (both included on the German Blu-ray by Filmjuwelen)

- 4 differences
- Runtime difference: 105 sec. (1:45 min)

In the comparison of the pilot episode, we have already summarized everything about the problems with the HD remastering of Baywatch, which is different in songs and also censored in nude scenes, at least right at the beginning.

Episode 2x14 (Sea of Flames) has a longer cut again. The clarifying conversation between Ben and Maggie on the beach was withheld for whatever reason, even introduced with an alternative shot of Ben. Beyond that, a few typical archive footage discrepancies.

Note: The episode is placed 16th on the Blu-ray (fourth episode on the third disc).

Runtimes are ordered as follows: HD version Blu-ray / Original version Blu-ray / old DVD.

30:02-30:10 / 29:59-31:52

In the >HD version, Ben can only be seen from a distance and the camera fades over to Eddie at the station. The camera movement down from the picture there starts much earlier.

The original version shows him instead from a different perspective and looking more thoughtfully to the ground. Maggie joins him and shows him a framed picture of Ben on the rescue tower 30 years ago. Maggie says she took it herself and admired him even then. Ben asks why she didn't come out of it then. Maggie mentions a secret, which she now wants to reveal to him - and with that, there is a soft blending.

original version 105 sec (= 1:45 min) longer
