Idea: 'War of the Worlds - The Second Invasion' (1989; season 2 series preservation)?

I was revisiting this series on netflix over the new year and realized that while the first season has been on DVD for some years, season 2 (which featured Adrian Paul who would later star in “Highlander”) is not. I know that Season 2 is supposed to have changed a lot of things drastically in the show and some people didn’t like it as much as the original, but anyway, has anyone thought about preserving this until such time (if any) that it gets officially released on DVD?

PS: I thought it was cool that Philip Akin who played Norton Drake in the first season also went to play the recurring character Charlie DeSalvo in “Highlander,” a few years later.

I don't think you'll realistically find many people interested in a preservation. I was a huge War of the Worlds fan and the best way I can sum up season 2 is that it was an alternate reality version of the show. There were many many contradictions with the first season and the change was just too drastic for the show to pick up any new fans. Harrison Blackwood suddenly grows a beard and uses a gun for one thing. It's supposedly six months after the end of season 1 and the entire world is suddenly some dystopian madhouse. I sat through every episode hoping that things would get better, and some episodes weren't too terrible, but compared to what came before it was like watching another show entirely. Adrian Paul's character wasn't actually bad, but overall season 2 = epic fail. Epic, epic fail. It's Galactica 1980 all over again. I think Heroes may be on the verge of going this route too. Season 4 is a bore....

It sounds like you're right (I still haven't seen all of the first episode). I haven't seen Galatica 1980 either, but at least THAT is on DVD.
