Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

The best parts of this episode are clearly the two new anti-Mysteron devices that are introduced here. Going along with them is the continuity with Operation Time, which inspired both of them. The Mysteron Detector would go be the one that would reappear in later episodes while the gun seems to disappear after this. Quite right to, as the electricity kills Mysterons doesn't make much sense anyway. How many Mysterons have been killed by simple gunshots? The Mysteron Gun isn't needed when any old gun/explosion/car crash will do. Mysterons are no more vulnerable to electricity than humans it seems. One of the silliest aspects of the episode, and probably the series, is that hunting lodge. Such an over engineered, dangerous and slow way to downstairs. It's even clearly show to be pointless when Captain Indigo takes a lift to get up and down! Speaking of Captain Indigo, it's a shame was killed so early on and that we didn't get to see him in Spectrum uniform.



An episode that, while not it itself a fantastic episode, does have repurcussions for the rest of the series due to aforementioned Mysteron Detetcor.
