The 1953 George Pal movie War of the Worlds had become a science fiction classic by the tine
the TV series of the same name premiered in 1988. Taking up
thirty five years after the movie ended, we learn that the aliens were stopped but were not killed by the bacteria. They were placed in storage drums in nuclear waste
disposal sites where the radiation killed the bacteria but did not harm them. Once revived they decide to continue in their conquest of the Earth.
Dr. Harrison Blackwood. a research scientist, manages to piece together clues and deduces that the aliens have been revived. He drags his skeptical new
recruit Dr. Suzanne Mccullough to investigate. The pair meet Colonel
Ironhorse. an even more skeptical Army Colonel. and with the aid of computer expert Norton Drake they learn that the aliens are after their
warships that were placed in military storage. The pilot ends with the warships blown up and the alien threat over, apparently for good. This was not to be the case. Each week the aliens, ruled by the advocacy of three, would launch another sinister plot, hoping to take control of the Earth only to have the Blackwood group thwart their efforts. The aliens had the ability to take over human
bodies. however these bodies quickly deteriorated due to radiation . The human
populace as a whole was somewhat skeptical about the aliens’ existence. This was nicely explained by talk of mass hypnosis which caused almost
everyone to remember the 1953 invasion as a movie, and a prior attack as the
famous 1938 radio broadcast by Orson Welles.
Starting in the second season massive changes took
place. Colonel Ironhorse and Norton Drake were killed off. A new regular was added. John Kincaid, an ex-soldier
who had previously served under Ironhorse. The biggest change occurred with the aliens themselves, now revealed to be the
Mothren A new batch of humanoid A1iens who spoke English arrived and killed off the old batch- ~upset
over their failure to conquer the Earth. The new aliens behaved like 1ittle Nazis under the rule
of their leader Maizor, who in turn took instructions from their god, the
Eternal, a jellyfish-like creature. The new aliens faced even less resistance in their efforts to take over the
world. This was due to the fact that society’s infrastructure had successfully
been disrupted as attempted in season 1.The
world as a whole resembled a cross between the Mad Max movies. and Max Headroom. Harrison. Suzanne and Kincaid
had no official government support, but they still managed to thwart the
aliens efforts from their hideout in the sewers. The second season did end with a final episode in which
the alien menace was defeated for good.
The shows first season did have its moments. The second season was a big
disappointment to some fans and preferred by others. The addition of Adrian Paul
(Highlander) makes it collectable for his fans.
