FANDOM NAME: War of the Worlds (TV)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's so bad it's glorious. I loved this to tiny bits when I was young, and I recently re-found and re-adored it. The aliens from the original WotW have had the nasty Earth bacteria driven off from them by Radioactive Waste, so radioactive aliens are sloughing around, taking over Earth bodies that fall apart from the radioactivity. The episode titles are all Biblical references, the San Francisco bay area looks suspiciously like Canada, and the pacifist scientist and the Token Army Guy (played by the only guy in the original Predator who had actually served in the military) have a deliciously slashy relationship. The two other main characters are a female scientist and a black paraplegic scientist who don't feel like tokens. The potential of this fandom begs for good fics.

Was that the one where in season 1 it's all, "There are aliens secretly plotting to take over the Earth, we have to stop them!" and then it underwent a complete genre shift between season 1 and 2, and became, "The aliens have taken over the Earth! Fight the alien overlords!"
