Aaron1375 The movie was very well done for its time and quite memorable. This show though, took a very different approach in how the aliens did things. More "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" than aliens in super ships that blast every thing to dust. This added a bit of a horror aspect to a movie that was mainly science fiction and action. This show basically has the bodies of the aliens reviving after a long slumber as the diseases we thought killed them simply put them into a hibernation type state. They are now back on the attack and use the bodies of others to move about the world so you never quite know who is one of the enemy and the people who make the show save a ton on the cost of make up and creature effects. In like the first episode though they did bring back the martian war machines briefly, but for the most part the show was very understated and not over the top in what it showed on the screen. Granted, a few more aliens actually shown might have been cooler, eh?

Jeffrey Young Very little is known of the alien invaders from Mortax and the series did not intend to explain much of them. In the original, "War of the Worlds", the aliens originate from Mars. Since Mars is a dead planet and presumably any presence of an indigenous civilization would be noticed from earth, it made sense to change the origin of the aliens to a faraway solar system.It was a shame that the series did not capitalize on the episode, "Angel of Death". The unexpected, ironic, and somewhat twisted humorous ending would have made for a much more interesting second season had the original plot line been followed. As it was, some viewers, including myself, disliked the second season's post-apocalyptic setting and stopped watching the series.I present here my own speculative analysis of the aliens from Mortax, for anyone curious enough to read on.Most likely the inhabitants of Mortax originated from a tightly controlled, rigid, caste-driven society. The upper caste was smug in its superiority over the lower caste classes, even those presumably of a high class, such as scientists. The ruling caste or upper classes which ruled Mortax probably were probably a hereditary class which may or may not have included a military class as a subsidiary upper caste.At some point in its history, the lower caste classes of Mortax gained political power enough not to overthrow the current ruling caste but enough to gain comparable political parity and most importantly, respect.As a result of this paradigm shift in Mortax civilization, the upper ruling class now had to address the lower classes with respect. They now called the lower classes, 'comrades'. The lower classes could now address their heretofore upper caste rulers as, 'advocates', not, sir, ma'am, majesty, excellency, highness, lord, mistress, or any other such title conferring superiority over the claimant and inferiority over the one saying it. But it is very clear from the comments of the often frustrated Advocate triumvirate that the bigotry of the upper castes over the lower castes is still very much alive. But now it is politically incorrect to say so in front of them.Mortax civilization was now unified and moreover, unified in its new, overriding goal, the salvation of its race, civilization, and culture. Unfortunately, the smug racial superiority and bigotry of the upper caste were now subsumed by all of Mortax society. The new inferior class fit only for extinction were the humans of earth. The invasion of earth is an invasion to humans. For Mortaxians, it is a 'colonisation' of a habitable planet regrettably infested with inferior biological sentients called humans whose existence is expendable. The invasion is a fight to the death for all of humanity.

MovieCriticMarvelfan I am impressed with some of the reviews on the series, "War of the Worlds The Second Invasion" was a great and modest series based on the HG Wells novel and the movie in 1950's. Its sad to see that its taken about sixteen years or so for people to catch on to the fact that this was a great series, but in retrospect, it shows how of our culture is of here unable to appreciate a good thing until it's good.The series ran for 42 episodes, and it premiered with a 2 hr movie, which gained some success and it gained popularity as the series went out. The series had some interesting plot lines and twist.For instance, episode six which I saw again called "An Eye for an Eye" uses the clever story tbat the fake broadcast by Orson Welles on Martian Invasion was NOT a fake but FACT and the government covered it up in 1938. Interesting and that sums up the whole show interesting and entertaining. We at first just get a short look at the Aliens, through a 3d like view like in Terminator movies. We then in several shots see the full alien body, more than the original movie in the 50s. Creator Greg Strangis who is listed in the opening theme of each episode, deserves a lot of credit for bringing this series to light. He gave us a continuation of the movie and gave us an intriguing array of episodes, thoughts and dilemmas to ponder There is also a strong resemblance between Dr. Harrington and Fox Mulder (X Files). I mean the comparison is uncanny. At first no one believes Harrington's story that Aliens have come back to life, likewise everyone thought Fox Mulder was crazy with his UFO and paranormal research.. Harrington's parents were killed by Aliens. Fox Mulder's sister was abducted by aliens. Interesting parallels eh? Chris Carter who created the Xfiles probably in some part borrowed the ideas for that show from here.The series does also take its jab at the military and how they always cover up alien happenings. In fact the aliens use this to their advantage like in episode 7 "Second Seal" where theyuses as hosts the bodies of Army personel to attack a base and gather weapons. There is also an ode to the original movie as the original Martian Spaceships are used commonly in the series.The acting is great too. Jared Martin as Dr. Harrison Blackwood, who is one of the first to discover the alien invasion is great. At first he is portrayed as a science nerd, but as time goes on, he can really kick butt. The writers in the second season made him more darker given him a beard, and darker look. Lynda Mason Green as Suzanne McCullough is great too as is Richard Chavez as Lt. Ironhorse. The first season is great though we do see a lot of "recycled footage" to essence save money on episodes, but oh well, its still a great series to watch, and for all you Highlander fans, will appreciate the appearance of Adrian Paul in the second and final half of the season.The series has not been released officially on DVD, although people have been selling DVR copies converted from VHS, however, a word to the wise, sometimes these transfers are of low quality and I wouldn't fork over the 50 or 80 dollars some people ask.
