    • The Score: Had Symphony's dream actually happened, it would have been total victory for the Mysterons. Spectrum: 25 Mysterons: 6.
    • Mysteron Reconstructions: None.
    • Spectrum Losses: 1 Angel Interceptor (in Symphony's dream: 1 Cloudbase, 4 Angel Intereptors. Colonel White, Lieutenant Green, Dr. Fawn, Captains Scarlet, Blue, Ochre, Magenta, rey and Black, Destiny, Harmony, Melody and Rhapsody are killed)
    • Collateral Damage: None.
    • It is never explained what actually caused Symphony's jet to crash in the first place.
    • It seems odd that "the most important position on the base" (ie the radar room) would be given to Captain Magenta who, under the slightest hint of possible annihilation, can't even count to four.
    • While discussing the immenent attack on Cloudbase, Scarlet says that "it had to come". However, it's already been and gone once as the Mysterons tried to destroy Cloudbase with their crystal in "Dangerous Rendezvous".
    • Captain Magenta calls Captain Scarlet "sir", but they are both the same rank.
    • The sound effect used in this episode as the noise the Mysteron flying saucers make when they fire their weapons is the same effect used in The Avengers episode "From Venus With Love" (which aired just over a year before this episode), which was used to signal the death of an astronomer apparently by mysterious aliens.

    • (Captain Scarlet has been shot down trying to stop the Mysteron war fleet, which is now riddling Cloudbase with laser fire) Captain Blue: Colonel White! Doctor Fawn has been killed, but his assistant tells me Captain Scarlet is dead! Colonel White: I want Scarlet in the control room! How long will he take to recover? (In sickbay, the Doctor's assistant shakes his head sadly) Captain Blue: You don't understand, Colonel! He's really dead - permanently, finally, absolutely dead! Colonel White: Dead? Captain Scarlet, dead?
    • Mysterons: This is the voice of the Mysterons. We know that you can hear us Earthmen. Spectrum's headquarters Cloudbase is our next objective. We will spare no effort to ensure that Cloudbase is totally destroyed.

    • Captain Magenta's role in this episode was originally indended to be filled by a new character, Lieutenant Sienna. However, as the series was almost over, the producers didn't want to go the expense of creating a new uniform, and so replaced Sienna with Magenta. This may also help to explain Magenta's odd behaviour, even if it was only a dream.
    • This is one of only two episodes of the series in which all of the regular cast appear, although most don't have lines. This previously happened in "Flight To Atlantica".
