Is this available on video or DVD?

[fisk0]

@fucknametheives yeah, the first season was released on DVD a few years ago, but I think the second season still hasn't been released.

What happened to the giant alien hand covering Earth before each episode started? Was that only US versions? It had that creepy "moaning" music to it ...Like whenever they killed one in a human body and it melted into bubbly goo.

@vigotheunholy it was used in Europe (at least here in Sweden) as well. But for some reason it isn't on the DVD's - but instead used it on the cover for the 2005 movie ...

Does anyone remember the name of the episode where, very briefly, we see old models of alien flying machine, resembling an insect?

[fisk0]

I remember the episode, it was the one where there is an old flying machine from the 1938 or 1898 invasion found in a swamp?

I can't remember the name of that episode either, but I'd guess it was one of the episodes between 4 and 8 of the first season. I was fairly early on in the season.

@MutatedIguana the episode title is "Dust to Dust" (s1 episode 14) and the warship is a much older model (centuries old) buried on an Indian reservation. It is neither from the 1938 recon mission or the 1953 invasion. Its primary weapon is built into the front array and it is a walking tripod (although it should be noted that the later warships are also tripods - they dont fly, but are levitated by three electro magnetic 'invisible legs' projecting the machine from the ground :) hope this helps

@vigotheunholy it used to be broadcacst that way on ITV/Channel 3 in the UK too, however, since the horror channel on sky has started rerunning season 1 and 2, it seems they're using the same source as the us/canadian dvds :( shame really. Another difference ive noticed with the horror channel is during the opening credits of season two, the narration is censored for some reason; "My god, theres a woman dying in front of me and no-one is helping her" now ommits the "no-one is helping her" bit

I love lt. col. ironhorse, but i always laugh when he kicks the 55gal. drum thats on the ground in the opening sence lol. there was no point in doing that except for the 'cool' effect in the 80's. haha man i loved this show and think i'm a lot smarter for watching this when i was 7 rather than the bullshit on t.v. today :->

Wow, what a horrible series this was. I remember being excited about the premier, only to be disappointed. It was supposed to be a continuation of the incredible 1953 movie, but somehow everyone had forgotten about the whole war? Uh, what?! And then the production was too cheap to show war machines much or even aliens. It was cheaper to say that the aliens took over our bodies. Bad acting, terrible effects and ridiculous plots. And season two was worse.

I liked this showed back when it aired. I liked the last episode where the colonel shoots himself. That guy was cool. 

[phoenix1861]

I remember the show fondly, and bought season one when it came out on DVD, just prior to that horrible Cruise-Spielberg movie. Season two was terrible; it was like someone's bad pizza dream.
