Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, Paramount had conceived the series not as a sequel or for television, but a feature remake of The War of the Worlds (1953) with George A. Romero slated to direct.
- GoofsIn one episode, an actor dressed as an alien jumps down from an air duct onto a human. As he jumps, you can see his socks.
- Quotes
Harrison Blackwood: In 1953 Earth experienced a War of the Worlds. Common bacteria destroyed the aliens but it didn't kill them. The aliens fell into a state of deep hibernation. Now the aliens have been resurrected more terrifying than before. In 1953 aliens started taking over the world. Today they're taking over our bodies.
- Crazy creditsA mysterious credit that appears at the end of all episodes from Season One is for "The Far Side" cartoons by Gary Larson, courtesy of Chronicle Features. It's unclear why this credit appears since there is no evidence of the cartoon's use or even a reference throughout the show. It is because in an early episode, a Larson cartoon appears on a bulletin board in a shot and the credits were not changed after that episode.
- Alternate versionsThe animation of the alien hand taking a hold of Earth that opens every episode in the first season is omitted on the DVDs.
- ConnectionsFollows The War of the Worlds (1953)
Featured review
You know, the first season of this show wasn't that bad. You had strong plots, good acting, and a good overall storyline.
Then the second season started.
What the hell was Frank Mancuso Jr. thinking when he made this series? It sucked! Here are some of the reasons why it sucked:
1) You killed off half the cast, including the strong military commander and the computer expert. They were actually the most interesting characters on the show!
2) What year is it? For one thing, it's never explained how much time has passed between the first and second seasons, and there's also the matter of where the woman who owned the house where lived in the manor went? She just disappeared.
3) The main characters now live in an underground pipe.
4) Even when the main character (Harrison) said he never used a gun, he just broke his own moral code and shot some guys in the second season premiere.
5) The plots just sucked. Period.
Bottom Line: Stick to the first season, and forget this season ever happened. You'll be better off.
