War Of The Worlds (1988) - Season 1 Opening Credits

The opening titles to season one of War Of The Worlds, with theme music by the late, great Billy Thorpe.

A much, underrated series, although of it's time & hampered by the 1980s writers strike, although some of it was still quietly unnerving...

Lynda Mason Green at 0:36 = hotness :)

She certainly does!!!

I liked season 1, not season 2. I think that the writers could have done a little better with the series though. They should have had more episodes where the aliens were looking for their ships. I'm sure that there weren't only 3 left from the 1953 invasion.

[scififanatic666]

It was slap bang in the middle of the 1988 writers' strike (they seem to have one every 20 years LOL) so most of the scripting was done by producers...

Prefered the End Credts :D

[scififanatic666]

They're up!

I was so pissed off when they killed of Col. Ironhorse at the end of season 1. he was the reason i watched the show and became a ranger... lol no BULLSHIT

[poyerd]

I loved this show when I was a kid. It was all about Lieutenant Colonel Ironhorse for me. Not a big fan of the Kincaid refocus at all.

If the producers hadn't randomly and inexplicably re-formatted the series during the second season, then the writers could've possibly written a story explaining that the Mor-Taxans themselves were responsible for the amnesia phenomenon (that's my personal theory), as well as exploring their motives for doing so.

[GoblinXXX]

@TY73Projex It was more lack of budget than technology that prevented that kind of thing.

[GoblinXXX]

It always bugged me that they show the iconic Martian hand there at 0:09, and then dissolve to a hand that looks NOTHING LIKE IT right after.

[GoblinXXX]

@BammerD Yeah, they might as well have just started an entirely different show with season 2, it was so different.

[VincentHagenbeekNL]

It was so stupid that the Mor-Taxans didn't return in the next season, just because that moron of a Frank Mancuso Jr. changed a lot of the story in season,

I wish that the Mor-Taxans were still in the next season

and I wished that they never killed off Col. Ironhorse and Norton Drake

@dre30012000 - They had a perfect group dynamic going on, then they blow up their HQ, kill 2 GREAT characters & suddenly introduce a new set of aliens, even though at least these aliens could walk among other humans without looking like the freakin' living dead / zombies ! INSANITY ! I always liked the way Col. Ironhorse & Blackwood were often at opposites, but managed to work together most of the time.
