The Score: Black escapes Spectrum: 2 Mysterons: 2.
Mysteron Reconstructions: Captain Black (escapes), Garage mechanic (killed on car platform/shot by Scarlet).
Spectrum Losses: 1 SPV crashed, 1 Saloon damaged.
Collateral Damage: 1 civilian car is crushed. Atomic Center gates damaged.
It's unclear how Captain Ochre expected to stop Black's SPV at the roadblock when he was only armed with a pistol, a Spectrum Saloon and a barrier. SPVs have been shown to withstand considerable punishment, something that Ochre wasn't really equipped to provide. Luckily for him, the Mysterons seem to be afraid of Spectrum roadblocks as they would show several times throughout the series.
Captain Grey's Geiger counter operator gives him the bearing "zero-two-three degrees, seventeen minutes", but when Grey reports it to Cloudbase it becomes "zero-two-three point one-seven", which is completely different.
Captain Black is shown on the security video perfectly normally, but "Flight 104" shows that Mysterons produce siloettes on normal photographic film.
As Captain Ochre reports to Colonel White that Captain Black crashed the gates of the atomic center, his light on the colonel's desk is the sixth from the left, next to the five white lights representing the Angels. However in the next shot of the desk, the light is now red for Captain Scarlet, with Ochre's light having moved two spaces to the right.
Captain Blue seems to have a thing for Symphony as indicated by his giving her the medallion on her birthday, yet only in the last episode he was going on a date with Destiny.
Captain Scarlet's written report to Colonel White contains a grammatical error. The last page reads "We must conclude from our enquiries that there was no Mysteron activities and it was in fact a false alarm", when it should be "... that there were no Mysteron activities...".
Captain Black says that "the Mysterons also have compassion", but this doesn't seem to fit their usual methods of murdering whoever they want to use in their plans.
Usually, Captain Scarlet would show a sign of nausea while a Mysteron agent was close to his presence. However, this isn't seen when he is sitting and standing right next to the Mysteronised garage mechanic.
After Colonel White thanks Captains Scarlet and Blue for their "courage and devotion to our cause", strangely both men can be heard speaking with each other's voices.
Not all 4 Spectrum officers fire their hand-guns at the escaping Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle at the end of the episode, even though several gun sound-effects are mixed together to create this atmospheric effect.
The shot of the car being lifted up against the garage ceiling with the garage mechanic is inside, shows the model ceiling showing spliting lines, indicating that a soft cheap material must have been used for the shot.
As seen in "Operation Time" and "Spectrum Strikes Back", high electricity voltage currents is the only thing that can kill a Mysteronised person, however Captain Scarlet simply kills the Mysteronised garage mechanic with his standard-issue Spectrum bullet hand-gun.
Mysterons: This is the voice of the Mysterons. We will continue to take our revenge. You started the shock with your unprovoked attack on our Martian complex. This act of aggression will be avenged. Our retaliation will be slow, but nonetheless effective. You will pay in full.
Colonel White: The tables are turned - the manhunt for Captain Black, is on!
This is the first episode in which Captain Scarlet isn't killed.
Originally, when Barry Gray, the show's music composer and theme writer, scored this episode, he produced a cue which was intended to be used for this episode, however, it didn't make the final cut. It is though used and heard for the very first time in "Place of the Angels".
The radio music heard in the garage when Black murders the mechanic was taken from Gerry Anderson's live-action feature-film, Crossroads to Crime, produced in 1960.
