The War Of The Worlds- Unfinished TV Pilot-
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- In the mid 1970's George Pal was developing a TV series set in the future developing the theme of his 1953 movie. Including here are some unused images of Gordon Jennings and his special effects crew. Ending with a photo gallery of the making of Pal's 1953 movie.
I remember seeing the film on TV back in the late 60s just before we got colour TV in the UK it scared the crap out of me. Funny how it became one of my favourite films alongside this island earth forbidden planet the 1933 King Kong all were true classics just like when I was 16 in 1977 going to see Star wars.
The special effects in the Tom Cruise version were great BUT...the original with Gene Barry is, in my opinion, a superior movie with a better story line. Same goes for The Day The Earth Stood Still. The original with Michael Rennie had a great story line.
Both remake's sucked.
WOW!!! Thank you!! One of my 3 all time favorite movies along with Forbidden Planet & The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Excellent movies
Those movies rock!
Amazing the amount of work that went into sci fi films before CGI came along, and you can see the production design cues from other films, like Forbidden Planet and Star Trek. Kinda forgotten now, but Chesley Bonestell was an extraordinarily influential artist, not only in sci-fi, but even the early space program.
Great job! George Pal films were some of my favorites back in the 60s.
I would say that the George Pal version was more decent, more intelligent, more original. The only thing the Spielberg version had was high end special effects that weren't so special after all.
I'm well-versed in the annals and versions of the awesome Wells parable, the good ones and the bad ones, but had NO knowledge of this lost piece of history, Pal's effort to do a tv series from his own film. Listening to its ominous narrative had my ear all the way. Found it enjoyable, even in this storyboard format. Had I been a network exec, I'd have been really interested in developing the premise into a series. Good writers, an ambitious story arc, the right cast - it COULD have worked!
It was absolutely shit as American's do they ruin every original story to suit an American audience , nonsense !
Even though far removed from Wells' novel, I think there could have been good stories of challenges, and bravery brought out in this "never was" series. I have the shooting scripts from the 2 attempts to make a WOTW spin-off series, and the Pal first one is not bad. Probably too ambitious for tv back then, even tho Pal was known for getting a lot of bang for the buck as he was versed in the use of vis effects to SAVE rather than burden a budget. I am still hopeful my giant 'The First One Hundred Years of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS" book will come to pass. Very time-consuming---and covering so many areas---but I feel it will be of interest to anyone who's sensibilities were captured by the novel and all that it wound up spawning over time.
I'm a little frustrated (well, maybe a lot) that the guy who originally put this reel together used the outtakes I purchased for this reel. He wanted a copy of the 35mm footage i had, which I let him make, on the condition that he NOT let make any other copies or distribute it in any way. Maybe he thought I'd passed away or something and decided it was ok to do this. Water under the bridge, so to speak, but...I licensed the footage to have exclusive use of it for a book presentation I'd invested a great deal of time, money and effort into, and this was a real hard kick to the knees.
RSEFX Get a lawyer.
@@RSEFX did you not at least make a copyright claim on this video ??
having been the poor benighted sod who helped bring the show back to the granada region... THANK YOU, for posting this.
The original Gene Barry version was FAR superior to the re-make with Cruise.
I agree entirely!
The Spielberg directed remake had no originality, no intelligence, not logic, and no realism.
The Martian walking machines and their sounds effects are stolen from that 1980's TV series THE TRIPODS.
That film's visual allegory to 9/11, in the opening act, is insulting and tacky!
F@ck you Smielberg!
Um it wasn’t a remake.
Sad the tom cruise one was scrapped from netflix
@@Jeffrey314159 The walking machines were in the book which all of this movie stuff is based on as it was written over one hundred years ago so flying aliens wasn't really thought of. I doubt you'd like the book even though the 1953 movie is based on it although it gave us aliens that we weren't able to fight (unlike the book). I love the book, I love both movies and I don't get this need to spread hate over a subject about martians.
@@Jeffrey314159 They should have stuck with the 1953 marsian war machines.Spielberg machines look man made.The 1953 war machines looked like their where from another world.
The Pegasus space ship was actually released as a model kit in the 1970s.
I thought it looked familiar.
I think I remember that as a kid. It looked something like a cross between a Star Trekish vessel with elements of a submarine, and it glowed in the dark.
It was described as being from a series called: Somewhere Out There ..
I saw the box for this kit in ZODY's department store in the 1970's
Do you have a link to it?
@@Joshuajacobson95
If you are talking to me, the answer is no.
I just have hazy memories of it from when I was a kid in the 70's.
i was talking to jimvanhise
The fanfare before Holst’s “Mars” is the opening of “Uranus.”
The first time saw this movie i was 8, and it scared the crap out of me, for the longest time i had a fear of the dark because of these machines, but i developed a huge interest in the novel as well as the movie and was able to conquer that fear
This is one terrific peek into what might have been. Also, the really big production music at 15:00 is from Gustav Holst's "The Planets". Subscribing, Jack.
Yes, Holst's " The Planets" is a great piece of music. When this video shows the attack craft destroying th cities, the music is the movement called " Mars, Bringer of War"...a very powerful piece of music. I compare " The Planets" to the great music " Victory At Sea".
Really cool stuff. Thanks so much for the post.
Not a pilot, a pitch. A pilot is a complete episode with actors and stuff.
I remember back in 1972 at a science fiction convention seeing photos of the alien freighter in its landing cradle. But we were just told it was from an upcoming tv series , not a sequel of sorts to War of the Worlds. If I remember correctly the miniature sequence of the freighter was filmed by Douglas Trumbull whose effects company was under contract to Paramount at the time. Too bad it never made it to production. As for the starship Pegasus, that was a reuse of the Lief Erickson design that Matt Jefferies did for AMT models in the late sixties. Although it would have been interesting to see the filming miniature executed by Trumbulls model shop.
are the scripts still available?
this could be remade today, I know some special effects people who work on computer generated design, find some more volunteers it could be achieved and put together and given to the networks or better still free on YT. who owns the rights of the pilot series scripts?
how did you get hold of these clips!? we can make his dream come true! could be done as an open source writers and graphic designers.
Some people don't know or remember, there was a TV Show in the 1990's War Of The Worlds, ran 2 seasons!
Got them on dvd
I remember I think it came out in 1987.
Yep, I remember watching Richard Chaves as Lt. Colonel Ironhorse with his battle tomahawk....
I remember that it was in the 1980s not the 1990s only lasted 2 seasons
I was already an adult when it came out. It could've been good, but it wasn't.
Toyman, couldn’t agree more ! I was 10 years old when I saw the original at the show, scared the hell out of me , since then I’ve seen it at least 25 times with the Day the earth stood still a close 2nd. What makes them great is the possibility it could actually happen ! The 2 best sci-fi movies ever made !!
Trouble was that by the early 1970's, George Pal's War of the Worlds was already 20 years old and "space operas" were plentiful. Pal should have developed his "Atlantic, the Lost Continent" movie into a series, which would have been more novel.
Not a bad thought re Atlantis as a series, but that film had been a terrible failure, which would not have convinced execs that it was a viable idea. Maybe if someone other than Pal had put together a promo based on an Atlantian premise...? (In a sense, tho, Pal was onto the notion of interplanetary warfare, not long before that notion took hold big time with STAR WARS. He may've been onto an idea audiences were interested in, if done well. But even SW had a very hard time getting green-lit.)
George Pal, When World's Collide. Love the 3 Rd act when the science guy tricks the industrial ist and releases the Ark. Great Cinema
So I guess we missed out on a George Pal TV show back in the day. That would have been great to see.
Now I'm depressed.
Looks like extensive use of the Magicam process in the original pilot footage. Magicam was a video-based bluescreen process married with a sophisticated motion control system that put Carl Sagan in fantastic set pieces on the show Cosmos and helped Ralph Hinkley fly in the first two seasons of The Greatest American Hero.
It also ruined the CBC production, "Voyage of the Starlost" by forcing it way over-budget, and frustrating the actors and production staff with endless delays and compromises caused by the immature technology. The ambitious-but-flawed "Starlost" is considered one of the cheesiest-looking and generally worst TV SF shows in history.
Yes. Nice that people like you recall these things. It was quite innovative, but a bit cumbersome system in some ways.
Damn good match-moving, even if the matte lines give it away. I'm impressed overall.
Time Marker 7:11 George Pall holds the model of Tholian Space Ship (from Star Trek episode, "The Tholian Web") redressed with engine nacelles to be the Shuttle Aurora from the Star Trek episode "Way to Eden". At Time Marker 7:11 behind Star Trek art director Matt Jefferies you can see the starboard nacell of the large hero model of the Enterprise.
And the Pegasus was based on the old AMT Leif Erickson space cruiser model, which itself was based on an early Enterprise design.
I remember seeing something like that as a plastic model assembly toy in stores in the 1970's. It glowed in the dark.
Jeffrey- I have that model. It was called "U.F.O Mystery Ship" on the box. The payload doors on top opened up and it held a smaller ship that somewhat resembled a Martian War Machine (which, I now wonder if it inspired in any way the look of the classic Klingon Battle Cruiser with its long neck and secondary hull design).
This pilot ep suggests that an Earth devastated by "Martian" attack would have bounced back and created starships to take the battle into space. Firstly, would the aliens still be trying to conquer a planet full of microbes that are deadly to them? Secondly, where would the Earthlings get the necessary FTL drive? Reverse engineering the "Martain" technology? As I recall, those war machines crashed on Earth disguised as meteors, and after emerging behaved as hovering tanks, not starships or even anything remotely spaceworthy.
Loved the 1953 ORIGINAL film version, not the 2005 piece of garbage, only reason it did well at the box office because it has Steven Speilbergs name on it. It was crapola and I want my money back. Thanks for posting this little known gem of a series that should have been made
Nigga the 2005 version is better
I never knew of this. Interesting though.
7:21 This is ... the engine of "U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701" !!!🤩
I guess they forgot the narrative by HG Wells saying that they wanted the earth because their planet Mars was "for centuries in the last stages of exhaustion..." But, I've never seen this before. It's actually interesting. At 14:55, the music is from an instrumental presentation known as "The planets". And they had no mother ships. That was in " Independence day " the movie filmed much later.
And that the movie took place over a few days, not decades.
And even if it _was_ decades, humanity on the verge of extinction would be in no position to develop hyperspace capable starships.
That's not the "Pegasus" That's the Leif Erickson. And why is she upside down?
Am I the only one who caught the fact that one of the planets was named Endor? Like Return of the Jedi.....Endor? There is also a book published in the 1960s called "the cosmic computer" that has a planet called Hoth. Perhaps Mr. Lucas was not so original after all.
The Cosmic Computer, aka Junkyard Planet, by H. Beam Piper.
"coolnegative" I really wouldn't be surprised if they where just some of many science fiction things that where Lucas inspiration to create Star Wars like he's said a few times over the years Star Trek and other SiFi/fantasy from the 1950's & 1960's did.. You make a good point!..
coolnegative. George and Marcia Lucas were heavily inspired by this pitch. He likely saw it as a younger director or she watched it while editing his 1976 mess. You get from this: several place names, the Death Star model, Leia's royal diplomatic guard (uniforms, look, even some directing), several scenes on the Death Star decks, the flight deck at the end of the movie, and on the streets of Moss Isley.
Everyone borrows. You certainly didn't think Gene Roddenberry was imaginatively original?
For his Star Wars saga, he had to get inspiration from a previous source! George Pal inspired many of today's modern effects artists and directors!
If you get a chance watch "The Hidden Fortress" a Japanese film that is almost scene for scene A New Hope. Then Ben's line about the Force surrounding, binding and penetrating us comes from an Occult Text book from the Renaissance.
Love that theme music.. amazingly it sounds an awful lot like "the gates of delerium" in parts, excpt performed by a full orchestra!
Its Mars -The Bringer of War. From The Planets. By Holst.
Leslie Neilsen is a superb narrator
I thought it was John Vernon.
Too bad this pilot didn’t lead to a series, the stories you could come up with based on the War of the World’s are endless. Rogue countries joining the martians to fight the rest of the planet, using bacteria to try and induce disease among the Martian’s as before when the virus causing the flu wiped them out etc They certainly had the right principals with George Pal and company. The series likely would have been much better than the pilots with better sets in place of the drawings and other artwork you would need a womanly women to create a conflict among the men. After seeing the Forbidden Planet, I thought that would make a terrific basis for a series. Leslie Nelson and his intrepid explorers return to earth with Ann Francis to then return to the area where they found the Forbidden Planet to discover other planets with the same abandoned machines, they proceed to try and discover the secret use of all that equipment.
By the 1970's you had Space:1999 which would have made a War of the Worlds TV series come across as dated material.
Forbidden Planet the TV series could be made now, but instead of heavy updating why not go with the retro-vision look that fans of Star Trek TOS have used? ?
Forbidden Planet did form the basis for a TV series, its called Star Trek.
Anyone know who it was doing the opening narration? The voice sounded familiar.
It was Leslie Neilsen, Capt Adam's from Forbidden Planet.
I don't recall the original version of the war of the worlds having such lively effects.
Well it did and it did not. That scene were the solider is hit by the disintegrater ray beam - - his dissolve looks a little more elaborate here than in the 1953 movie.
Go check it out. Also, in some video versions of this 1953 film, the wires suspending the Martian machines(models) are apparent..
In case you hadn't noticed that the battle scenes are being repeated over and over again - thus for the liveliness.
It did
1953 Gene Berry by far the best version
@@Jeffrey314159 The wires didn't show (well, maybe very very faintly in a couple of shots) in the original Technicolor release prints. Transferring the film to more "contrast-y" film stocks for later re-releases, made the wires stand out. Same with transfer for television/video broadcast. For the new release, the wires have been treated to reflect the way the film originally looked on its initial screenings: The wires are all gone, and the color (and other tonal balancings) have been enhanced. I saw a screening of the new version last year, and it is absolutely stunning.
Easy to see why it was not made. The part with the voiceover and storyboards was the most compelling part.
I guess Falling Skies is as close as you can get to a WOTW series.
No way
Or Jeff Wayne's musical version
Did this become the 1988 show we know and love?
A testimony to the staying power of Star Trek. None of this would've seen the light of day if not for the fanfare of Trekkies launching SF craze of 70s (Star Wars, Close Encounters and eventually ST the Motion picture)
Quick, let's go hide in a church building ⛪
Nothing can hurt us there!
👽 hahahahahahaha
Anyone notice the model on the table was a tholian ship that had been modified into the space cruiser Aurora for the Episode the way to eden?
And the silvery tanks sitting on the desk is the Mars rocket booster from Pal's CONQUEST OF SPACE, which Vasque also worked on.
Actually, i think its the Tholian model with extra parts added on, as it appeared in another episode (but don't remember). That's what it looks like to me--
TOO BOLDLY GO WHERE man has not gone before.
Cool!!
Martians had to cancel their plans due to COVID-19 virus. What in the world would they do with the Rovers to run around?
Stratton: But sir, they're already under probation.
Dean: Then put them under double secret probation.
Me: 🤣 John Vernon is awesome.
He was the General in the 90's TV series The War of the Worlds.
"Based On" = "Very little like the original work"
I agree. But if the original walkers went up against the war machine we had in the 50's they wouldn't have a chance. In the original their heat ray only had so much fuel and they turned to dropping gas bombs on the troops. Second one of the cannons took out one of the original walkers. One of the British ships charged the walkers and took one out before it got hit by the heat ray. With gas masks of the 50's the gas wouldn't of hurt them and the tanks would have brought down the walkers with no problem. So they had to come up with something to make them more powerful then what we had in the 50's. Hell if the nuke in the movie had been used on the walkers of the original walkers there would have been nothing left of the walkers except the foot pads of the walkers. Just sayin.
Donald Grant. Correct. HG wrote the story as a parable to Britain. It was placed only a few years in the future (basically a contemporary story) to show Britain what it would be like if she, who considered herself the king of the hill, were attacked as when the colonial powers take aim at the aborigines. The natives put up a good fight, but are conquered and their society is reorganized by The Empire, to serve The Empire. Ray Bradbury did the same thing for Europe to America with "The Martian Chronicles"
After WWI and II, that unlikelihood for Britain had been dispelled. You couldn't keep Napoleon on Elba forever.
Now the USA considered themselves the king of the hill 1950s with nuclear bombs, skyscrapers, electric everything, the largest SAC airforce in the world, largest navy, high prosperity, etc...
It is probably always best as a contemporary parable of hubris, but you do have to keep changing it, as Gerry Anderson did in UFO...similar story.
BBC loves period pieces, and since this has been redone four times as a contemporary piece, it makes sense for BBC to return it to Edwardian and mix in some WWI footage.
The Haskin-Pal film and this proposed series should better have been identified as an "inspired by" project, which I think would've been far closer to the truth. The film does show the impact upon the social order, the mix of cooperation, bravery and determination vs. the madness of the mob, and the turn to religion and prayer when all seems hopeless. It was written by a Brit who was actually very fond of Wells, but...was under contract to write a script updating and transporting it to the US (mostly), one that would focus on the spectacle of such an event.
I wish the MAGICAM effects system had gotten more use.
The War of the Worlds (original title) (1953)
This would ave been a great TV series. Unfortunately it would have been made by the FOX network
and they would have cancelled it after one season.
Sounds like John Vernon doing the narration.
There's basically no information about this anywhere.
7:34 what is that? Is that supposed to be a handling machine?
It might be a different machine but this spherical machine design looks interesting
This for all intents and purposes... looks more like a pitch or a publicity reel, than it does a pilot. Too bad it didn't get past that stage.
Was a pretty good, and scary series, as I recall. Just not this version of it.
I'm guessing George Lucas must have seen this (somehow) and was inspired to write Star Wars!
gawd,,,, this is terrible... just watch after they "exalt" the award winning people who designed this fiasco...
Can you be more specific? Thanks :-)
No-one would've believed that in the year 2020, giant ants would wipe out 98% of the human race.. Few men even considered that there had been a giant queen ant laying eggs underground in Arizona for more than 20 years.. And yet, the end came swiftly and their victory was precise and the few remaining surviving humans were enslaved and were forced to work for the ants.. 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👽👽🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃💀💀
According to this film the 1st area of earth the Martians attacked was, Orange County Ca!
🤣
So this is a pitch to the studio to finace a TV pilot
No subtitles ? Not everyone speak and understand English. Subtitles would have helped.
Look at this clip from 'The War Of The Worlds' unfinished TV pilot. 6:24 in, they're using the Lief Ericson upside down in the Matt Jeffries concept art.
ruclips.net/video/WqM0axgpBLo/видео.html
Marvelous! Is that John Vernon narrating?
Where are the handrails?!
This is a work and safety nightmare!
If he had advanced this idea as a TV series in the 1960's it might have worked, but by the 1970's it was all very archaic.
8:51 These composite scenes here might have worked for 70's TV, and its audience- -maybe.
Looks like a mix of War of the Worlds, Forbidden Planet, and Star Trek~ dated and derivative!
Definitely dated by the 70s..
Since this was slated for 1975, when SPACE:1999 was already on the air, a War of the Worlds TV series like the one imagined here would look like a cheap throwback to the 1950's-60's
It's a studio pitch who goes all out on a pitch they did enough to give them an idea about what could be done if backed with there money none of this was the actual show and the show was pitch in and for a 70's show
@@anthonybarlow5955 This would only work as some kind of animated series, or a "motion comic book"
They could do that right now, with the material present here - - animation allows for greater suspension of disbelief
5:21 "Tentacled dwarfs, reptilian man-beasts from the primordial slime" What does that mean?
Don't tell me it is 'Lovecraftian' :-S
Could of been a worth while project. Too bad it was not explored better. I was about 9 or 10 when Star Trek came out. It was canceled too soon also. Look what it became!
Cool video
Utterly bizarre. The fictional 1953 invasion lasted days, not years, and certainly did not involve chasing Martians across the galaxy. That was not HG Well's vision.
Dec. 2017---The invasion last 6 days if I remember right, with the Martians dying on the 7th. As to not HG Wells vision, why not? Think of the technology man would of gotten and of course, there would soon be squabbling among the countries between those that have the crashed Martian war machines vs those who didn't. Those that didn't might have the food producing/transportation ability still in place while those who had been attacked, didn't. And on RUclips, there's an animation series (movie?) that has the Martians attacking earth in the 1800's and how it affected man and strides in technology.
Some really bad toupees in this one - too many dead cats glued to people's craniums
6:49 that is the Lief Erickson designed by Matt Jefferies (Star Trek)
Yup, it's just upside down. I have an unbuilt model.
It was also the concept for the Imperial Cruiser "MacArthur" in Niven and Pournelle's "The Mote in God's Eye." It was part of the cover art of January 1976 issue of Galaxy magazine that featured an article on how the " Motie Universe" was developed.
The narrator sounds like John Vernon.
People could only hear in one ear back in the day.
Is that Leslie Nielsen as voice narrator ?
I believe it’s John Vernon
15:03 Bob..HOPE!!!
So you want to make money off of someone else's work and then you ruin it by adding commercials. Lame.
0:05 "The People of Earth have achieved... Zero Population Growth." 0:35 "Yeah, I guess so."
Wonder why it never "took off"?
Your right the Tom cruise version is crap
patrick remley. There was one good thing in Seilberg's version. The horn sound effect when the machines were coming. The tripods were good steampunk space age, but the foley in that movie was the best part.
The characters were horrible.
All of you are niggas
"Then, as suddenly as the aliens had struck..." You just said it raged on for decades.
So glad it never carried to series because it honestly sounded boring.
So the germs that killed the alien on earth didn't get a place on the first ship to Alfa Century? If they did then the alien there would have died from them too.
The series format explained this possibility away: The invaders learned from their failed first attempt and came up with a "vaccine" (so to speak) against those "germs", to make them immune from the Earth's bacteria.
Too bad this wasn't picked up as a series. We could've had lots of Roger Corman type pointless walking, hiding and non acting.
Looks more like Sid and Marty Kroft stuff from the 70's.
I don’t recall this one....
and still just television program.
the men with the hats and police costume 13:54 is were STAR WARS got its look from......wow costumes are the same except some color change and the guy waving in the big machine 13:15 is a shot that STAR WARS had done all so.....now I see were George lucas was geting the Ideas from the death star 12:29 of the times not so much of a visionary view point ....hummmm .. these sets were early STAR WARs in my opinion some of the same sets costumes and people were use to create star wars ...RG
You are correct. The helmets are from the USNavy in WWII, but this use in a SF pitch nobody saw is storyboarding for Lucas. Death Star is obvious, men waving in mega equipment...
Lucas and Spielberg would also use Jonny Quest as action sequence storyboarding*. At least neither tried to use this horrible video screen backdropping the Canadian studios pushed so hard in the 70s.
*Oh watch a compilation called "Jonny Quest Action, Action, Action" and you'll see scenes from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, 007, and other big movies made 15-25 years after the Quest series aired.
11:17 ... nothing like giving your self away by smelling your armpits!! D'Oh!!
dat mono sound tho
It's going to be a challenge for the CGI industry to fake pre CGI effects with CGI.
Not anymore, have you seen what trekkie nerds have created with their fan fiction? It is all very retro-cool, and they did use CGI in the space battle scenes.
Every like this gets I'll sing on my yt (not good at singing btw)
Did anyone spot Woody Woodpecker in the film?
Talk about UFO'S and flying sauces H/P of course /
Earth sends the USS Gretna Thunberg to fight climate change on another planet. 🤣
"How DARE YOU?" 🤦♂️
The war of the worlds culture should have been a franchise..how could you screw up such a well written science fiction novel?...lousy directors and lazy writers with lousy imaginations..thats how!...there are so many scenarios to create, a series with multiple characters!..give me the job!..i could make millions off the plot!..
Alien Threat! Washington D.C.!
The socialist NWO description of earth in the opening kind of justifies higher intelligence aliens trying to kill them before it spreads.
Endor lol
Today this would be made with gay aliens for the PC crowd.
Lol, probably.
Yes there was a fun series for a short while on TV but it was canceled due to religious groups which had a short hey-dey enforcing their tastes on America via TV censorship. Another good series was the Friday the 13TH TV series which met the same censorship fate when the "moral majority" was trying to rule the earth. Much worse than Martians.
The death of _War of the Worlds_ was a tad more than that. The first season suffered from sinking ratings, so rather than mercifully pulling the plug, they installed the lot running _Friday the 13th: The Series_ to salvage it. And having seen _Friday the 13th: The Series_ I can say they were not the right ones for the task, as they completely missed the mark, making it thematically and tonally foreign to anything that's long made up _The War of the Worlds_ mythos. Not to mention it was boring, derivative of much of the concepts from the first season without any of the distinctiveness and depth that went into the first season, and overly humanised the aliens. And, you know, when you kill off the show two most popular characters (who just also happen to be of colour), you tend to lose what audience you had to start. Thus, despite none of the gore that decorated the first season, the rating sunk further and Paramount closed shop.
fek arse industries
Lame ripoff
Rip off of what?
WTF IS THIS ?
Flat Earth.
Roderick Sloan flat brain
The war world of the 1953 is the best movie ever no cgi in everything was made bye 👋
