hi again.would you be intereted in a trade then?i
have doubles of volumes 4 and 5.the quality is pretty
good considering they are ex rental,and the sound is
good as well.the quality on the resurrection however
is pretty dire:( i would be interested in raising of
lazarus,prodigal son and the obelisk,not to mention the excellent
unto us a child is born.if you wanna trade,let me
know!i got some of the videos through searchers,i think
they are based in England,however they charged me £25
for one video!And i got the rest for about £3 in an
ex rental video store that has closed
unfortunately.if you want i could try and hunt for the address,as
i was thinking about contacting them again as i'd
like volumes 2 and 3!<br>c ya:)
hello again! Not only do i ot have any exrental
tapes, ive also never seen any of them! All the episodes
i have are from itv<br> The episodes i have are as
follows:<br>the walls of jehrico<br>a multitude of idols<br>eye
for an eye<br>the second seal<br>goliath is my
name<br>to heal the leper<br>good
samaritan<br>epiphany<br>among the philistines<br>choirs of angels<br>dust to
dust<br>he feedeth among the lilies<br>the prodigal
son<br>the meek shall inherit<br>unto us a child is
born<br>vengeance is mine<br>so shall ye reap<br>the last
supper<br>my soul to keep<br>the raising of lazarus<br>the
angel of death<br>thats it for the first series, as you
can see im missing the pilot and the second
episodes<br>then, because most of my stuff comes from the second
showing of the series on itv, and they miised out the
tranition eps between the 1st and 2nd series, i missed a
load. I have two that i managed to get from the first
run, and then it picks up again at seft of emun, see
below<br>breeding ground <br>terminal rock<br>seft of
emun<br>loving the alien<br>night moves <br>synthetic
love<br>the defector<br>a time to reap <br>the pied
piper<br>the dealiest disease<br>path of lies<br>candle in the
night<br>video mesiah<br>totally real<br>max<br>true
believer<br>the obelisk<br>and thats my list!<br>my favourite eps
would have to be, well, i adored my soul to keep (i
thought the alien babies were so sweet, call me pathetic,
but its true.) i also liked the defector and
deadliest didease from series two and the obelisk. i
basically liked those epoisodes that alowed insights into
the alien ways of life or stuff.<br>as to the
continuity stuff, i agree that al the screw ups happened
because the people making the series made a mistake, but
i think its fun to try and work out ways of fitting
these facts into th wotw universe without damging the
continuity (thereby proving that i definately have too much
time on my hands!) As to the request, i can get you
some spaceships from a site i know, and theyll be
there as ssonn as possible (alas, my server is below
par, and therfore kci ks me off at vital points in my
internetting (thats not a word, but hey, it could be)<br>bye
for now!<br>to life imortal! :-)
AND AS FOR THE CONTINUITY THING,I LIKE YOUR
IDEAS,BUT ITS MORE LIKELY TO BE DUE TO THE SCRIPTWRITERS

OBELISK!<br>HEY,IF U WANNA E-MAIL ME IM AT
DREDD1981@...<br>WELL,TO LIFE IMMORTAL ETC<br>BYEEEE
Thankyou for the offer; I noticed while checking
out your profile that you are in england; this mean
that youl have difficulty trding with americans, as
the videos are made by the same people, but are
completely different. Either way, eng>usa, or usa.eng,
you get something that sounds like a gerbil on
helium. (this i knw from presonal experience) You can get
actually go to a video store and change them, but they do
charge for this, and not all stores provide this
service. Its nothing to do with the lp sp or elp (elp
being another speed american vcrs have apparently)being
different, its actually the machines.<br>With this in mind,
what episodes do you have?
hello ther! thankyou for your message, its most
appreciated. With regards to the continuity thing, throughoutt
he entire 1st series the home planet of the aliens
was called Mortax, so it wasnt just the Synths who
called it that. However, on another wotw posting board
type site, someone ( I forget who) came up with the
idea that maybe Mortax and Morthrai are two different
words for the smae thing (we have many such examples of
this in real life, for example, in many sci-fi books
the lanet earth is often refered to as Terra, this
being a latin word for earth i think. Perhaps the
aliens updated their planet name due to a laguage shift
over the generations that follwed the 1952 invasion,
which the resurected aliens werent up to speed with.
[its revealed that the aliens have a mating season
every 9 years, so there wouldnt be many generations
produced in this time, so that theory doesnt really
work])Another theory is that a language shift did occur, but
way before the 1953 invasion; the 2nd wave of aliens
decided to give up 'their traditions, their past, their
memories', etc, and become a new race; perhaps the new word
fort hier home planet is a result of htat. These are
just theories however, and if anyone else wants to
write in any theories they themselves have, r.e wotw,
feel free. I love dicussions.<br> BTW, dredd_1981,
what woiuld you like to see more of on this site? i
try to customize it to the requirements of the
members as much as is possible. Blue wanted more alien
pics; i tried and got a few, but they are few and far
between; if you see anything wotw that isnt on the links
list, or in the pics, fell free to add stuff yourself
(try and keep it to the series, however)<br>Thankyou,
and goodbye :)
HMMMM,CONTINUITY PROBLEMS??WELL,DOES ANY1
REMEMBER THE FINAL EPISODE OF THE 1ST SEASON THERE THE
SINTH CALLED THE ALIENS HOME PLANET MORTAX?THEN IN THE
SECOND SEASON IT WAS CALLED MORTHRI!!!KOOL SERIES
THO,EVEN THO IT GOT CRAP WHEN IRONHORSE WAS WRITTEN
OUT!<br>KOOL SITE BY THE WAY!
thanx emma<br>merry xmas to you too, even though
im a bit late!!<br><br>I've been thinking, there
arent many places on the net where people can discus
wotw things to do with the series properly (the sites
are usually full off requests for episodes or new
sites)<br>Are there any topics you have ideas on , wotw wise?
We could have an idea pool of some kind, which is
the sort of thing ive wanted to do since i stated
searching for wotw stuff oin the net.<br>Send topic
suggestions here, and well try and get some conversation
going!! Thoughts, continuity problems, anything about
wotw the series, well talk about it (try not tobring
the other wotw stuff in if you dont have to, although
refernces to the 1953 film wont be out of the equations.
added a new link, which has a wotw tv series desktop theme halfway down the
page. go to link 26 if your interested, only 1 is series though. it seems good,
ive just looked at the preview
for link 23, if you go there, the war of the
worlds headline is not a link. to get to the fanfiction,
click on the link at the top of the story list saying
ENGLISH this will take you to a list of story, where the
wotw headline is a link to te storys<br>(just so noone
gets lost)
sorry guys, i couldnt find the episodes on
amazon, so i guess theyve been sold. if anyones
interested in buying the book, ill put the url on the links
page.<br> i found a wotw ebring, shown on the site off link
22.<br>i also liberated (stole) some really good (i think)
1st season alien pics for blue from that site, and
after ive gone through it ill channel through the
webrng and see if theres any sites on ther we havent
got, if so, ill link them!<br>happy hunting in your
own searches, dont forget to post anything ne on the
links
i just added a new link to a pretty good site,
and ive sent a message to get the address for this
new war opf the worlds webring thing, so ill keep you
posted on that. ive yet to look up the amazon adress for
the videos for blue, but ill be doing that in a
minute
god ironhorse! Well, he wasnt that bad i
suppose;-)<br>anyway, they showed season 2 inengland twice, 1996 and
1998, but the second time it was so edited it wasnt as
good as it could have been. They also missed outt he
trnsition episodes, so you jumped from the cblackwood
project being in the cottage to two membbers being dead
and eveyone living in a sewer.Not a good idea onn the
parts of the itv people, methinks. (this was itv
yorkshire, though.. in other regioons they might have done a
better job of it)<br> You are so lucky to have got those
tapes, i know how hard it is to find tapes, as i looked
everywhere and still no hope. However, i do have most the
eps on video, so i can console myself with that.<br>
incidently, on .amazon.co.uk there is the novelisation of the
first two episodes of wotw up for grabs, in csae your
interested. Also, i think there were two eps for sale too (il
look them up and post them here later, as blue just
asked where to buy them)<br>im a second series fan
myself, sort of the wotw eqivalent of a trekkie (ie not a
lot of us, social pariahs, etc) but i cope somehow
(insert tragic sigh here:-))<br>anyway, i hope youlike
beoing here..enjoy
Well, I have only seen series one, series two was
shown once I think in the UK, I caught like half an
episode once.<br><br>Series one is cool I actually
managed to buy via ebay some ex rental vids of the first
series recently so I have been watching them again,
forgot how violent and dark the series actually
was!<br><br>Favourite character has to be Ironhorse (Hey he was cute
okay) and then Blackwood. <br><br>Sure wish they would
play the series over again so I can get the missed
episodes! <br><br>Emma
hello back at you emma<br>glad you like the
place. so, a few questions wotw style- which did you
prefer, series 1 or 2?<br>also, if you know of any net
places that arent on the links, and you have the url for
them, send them to me, ill check them out, and well
pput them on there! Enjoy the club!

back to me on this so i can narrow my frantic
searching of the net.<br> thanx bye
