Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

Mysteron Reconstructions: Pete (unknown/car crash), Major Brooks (car crash/explodes), Colonel Storm (car crash/killed in SPV crash), 1 military staff car.

Spectrum Losses: 1 SPV. Scarlet is killed but recovers.

Collateral Damage: 1 military staff car, 1 methane tanker, 1 methane tanker passenger, 1 Unitron, 1 command post, 1 conference room and assorted journalists.

This is the first episode, but not the last, where Captain Scarlet's "sixth sense" vanishes for the convenience of the plot. Scarlet sometimes reacts to a Mysteron presence at quite a distance. With Colonel Storm just a couple feet away from him in the SPV, he fails to react. Colonel Storm even comments on the fact but no explanation is given.

The ID card that Scarlet shows to the store manager appears to be Captain Blue's. Compared to Scarlet's ID in "Avalanche", this one has little to no red on it.

Just before he explodes, Brooks addresses the Supreme Commander as "World Commander". This is wrong, as he is the Supreme Commander of Earth Forces, not the whole world itself.

The security scanners apparently scan for "nuclear emissions" from the people passing through. However if a person was emitting any sort of nuclear radiation they wouldn't be walking about and would probably be dead before they got anywhere near the scanners.

The Unitron tank is said to be unmanned, but it is controlled by an operator in the command post. Therefore it's not completely unmanned as it still requires a person to function.

At the conference as Major Brooks explodes, Scarlet brings down protective tubes over himself, the Supreme Commander and Captain Blue, yet leaves everyone else in the room completely exposed to the blast and the resulting hail of falling masonry from the ceiling.

Major Brooks uses the same method of assassination as Captain Brown did in the first episode, yet here the explosion is extremely weak compared to Brown who brought down an entire building. The size f explsion may be related to how long each Mysteron was "primed" before hand; Brown became unresponsive for quite a while before exploding whereas Brooks was still talking until a few seconds beforehand.
