Season two started, for me, on October 8, 1989 at 12:30pm, and took me by total suprise. The shows I like generally get cancelled within weeks of me finding it. I had predicated MSI would last six weeks, tops -- Fortunately, I was extremely wrong. Season two brought with it a number of changes, not the least of which was a new logo and a slightly altered theme song. While the music and lyrics were still very much Fred Mollin's, the last line of the lyrics changed from And it's all in a day's work for Ultraman to For if you see trouble coming, I'm your man. This change summarises much of the alteration to the show. The whole concept of Andrew wanting to be a superhero, out to save the world in a cape and tights, was abandoned. Andrew grew up; Ultraman fell by the way-side. Comic books and superheroes stopped being mentioned on a weekly basis. Even the decorating of Andrew's room changed to reflect this: down came the comics that had so colourfully adorned the walls. With the loss of Ultraman came a change to Andrew's powers that left him much more normal, for a boy who could fly. The most notable is the unexplained disappearance of his invulnerability. While this change made the character more human, and the plots more tense now that Andrew could be hurt, I feel the writers missed a great opportunity for an episode in which Andrew has to discover and accept this loss. In addition, Andrew's floating ability became more like flying, and it ceased being necessary to use compressed air cans. Second season also brought a cast change. Andrew's friend Jeff (Robert Haiat) disappeared from the show and his friend Kirk (Christopher Bolton) was introduced in the second episode of the season, Not So Fast. Dr. Jeffcoate ceased being the eccentric nerd he'd been formerly portrayed as, and became just an eccentric. His feelings for Stephanie began being played up. As a balance, the vow of silence concerning Andrew's father was broken and we started learning bits and pieces about him. This first real information we're given about Mr. Clements is in the premiere episode of the season, Out Of Control, in which we learn that he and Andrew once participated in a father & son race. It's also strongly hinted that Erin doesn't remember her father. The growth of all the characters is comparable to the growth of the show, itself. Not only did Andrew grow up, but so did the series. More serious issues began being tackled: Teenage Drinking, Running Away, and Friendship, among others. Also, in first season we saw Andrew dealing with the acquisition of his powers and their loss. In second we see what happens when his powers go haywire, and when he finally reveals his secret to another, in my personal favourite episode, Reluctant Hero.
