Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

This episode is a mess. There's a lot of messing about with transporters and helicopters but it never seems to come together somehow. Take the Mysteron threat. They say they're going to destroy the Atlantic seaboard of America, yet all they end up doing is crashing a helicopter into a tower. We don't even learn if this crash, which involved a nuclear reactor, actually accomplished what the Mysterons set out to do. On the plus side, the Mysterons do seem more bloodthirsty than usual, with the transporter driver shooting the lumberjack and Black shooting the helicopter controller, but this episode is far from good.

Pretty pants of an episode this one. The Mysterons intend to destroy North America by placing a bomb at some waterworks or something like that and Captain Black gets trigger happy.



As usual, it's Scarlet and Blue who save the day and prevent North America from being flooded by a device that looks like a futuristic microwave.
