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 aliensвЂ™ 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 BillвЂ™s situation, and what adds grist to season threeвЂ™s mill, is that he didnвЂ™t come back from the future alone. And as itвЂ™s unlikely that season three of this sci-fi chiller will turn into a courtroom drama, something majorвЂ™s going to have to shift to get ByrneвЂ™s character back on the game board and making moves. Whether or not they believe him is irrelevant вЂ“ heвЂ™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 ByrneвЂ™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 thatвЂ™s been averted. ItвЂ™s not quite the вЂI woke up and it was all a dreamвЂ™ ending, but itвЂ™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 WorldsВ 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.
