WAR OF THE GODS SEASON 3 WEEK 2 PATCH
Catherine Durrand was never killed by a Mechanical but lived to patch things up with her sister Sophia and possibly embark on a romance with her sweet Observatory colleague who is now also not dead. Emily and Tom’s mother Sarah was never shot by Sacha, and Prof. His wife and son, Helen and Daniel, are now alive and kicking.

War of the Worlds Season 1 Recap: Aliens, Cyborg Dogs, Emily, Sacha and the Mystery Tattoo By Louisa Mellorīill resetting the timeline resurrected several characters who’d been killed in the original version of events. On a fully populated Earth, surely those two will have to give up their ‘ kill everyone’ plan and assimilate if they’re going to survive? Their people’s entire understanding of human beings came through the psychopathic filter of Sacha, and was distorted as it passed down the generations. Untethered from everything they’ve known, perhaps this is the chance for those two to observe humanity and, like how Isla and Reuben developed a love of human music and babies, find things to snuff out their hatred. How will Adina and Jokim fit into season three? In this new timeline, they have neither a future nor a past, and their people never existed. They turned up with half a dozen redshirt aliens in the new timeline, where they unsuccessfully tried to stop Bill from killing Emily. It also includes the aliens’ most entrenched humanity-haters: Adina and Jokim. That includes Isla, who we saw die in the new timeline, from a gunshot wound she received in the old timeline just before making the leap. Whoever else was on board the alien ship when Bill travelled through time came too. The other sticky part of Bill’s situation, and what adds grist to season three’s mill, is that he didn’t come back from the future alone. And as it’s unlikely that season three of this sci-fi chiller will turn into a courtroom drama, something major’s going to have to shift to get Byrne’s character back on the game board and making moves. Whether or not they believe him is irrelevant – he’d be locked up either way. If this new timeline holds, then Professor Bill Ward will have to explain in a court of law that he murdered a blind teenage girl in order to save humanity from alien attack.

That leaves Gabriel Byrne’s character in a fix for season three. The single change Bill needed to make to avert the timeline in which aliens invaded Earth was to kill Emily (one of the ancestors of the alien race), and so he did the decent thing and pushed her off the top of a tall building. The last we see of him in season two is a newspaper headline about his arrest for the murder of Emily Gresham. Everything resets, and everybody goes about their lives without knowledge of the dire future that’s been averted. It’s not quite the ‘I woke up and it was all a dream’ ending, but it’s in the same postcode. Thanks to Bill, the aliens never arrive, billions of people are never slaughtered, and life on Earth continues as normal. In it, Professor Bill Ward uses extra-terrestrial science to travel back in time to before the aliens invaded, and makes a single change to stop that timeline from ever unfurling. Had War of the Worlds not been renewed for season three, the season two finale would have served as a creditable end point to the story. Warning: contains spoilers for the War of the Worlds Season 2 finale.
