Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons Episode 02

[@2150dalek]

Amazing to watch, even in 2020. So much creativity and futurism. I love the aircraft, high fashion & small details put into these stories. Gerry predicted nano-technology (Capt. Scarlet) even if he wasn't aware of it.

You take an old man back to my youth. They don't make shows like this anymore. It's great.

[@calanon534]

They do not, sir. And even though this was ~14 years before my own birth, I feel sorely cheated out of this promised future, as well as such fantastic writing and adventure. I was born far too late.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

I only managed to catch a few bits of an episode of this series when I was a child. No TV and so I only got a look when visiting someone else with a TV. Something I found interesting when I read the Captain Scarlet stories in paperback books is that the Mysterons are supposed to never lie or attempt a bluff. They always tell the truth. They can make mistakes, though, which is one way some of their plans fail. Another way their plans fail is because they're deliberately waging a "war of nerves" against humankind and part of that plan is to allow humans a small chance of winning each battle. After all, if humans knew there was no chance of them winning, they might stop even attempting to fight and live in a dull acceptance of their fate instead of always being worried and nervous about winning or losing, making a "war of nerves" pointless.

The best episode - because of all that fabulously weird stratojet action. Having the president's plane hit it anyway despite the valiant SPV battle is a masterstroke.

Maybe the very best episode of the serie. DT19 crashing in the sea scene is epic.

"Sworn enemies of earth" because of what happened in episode ONE.

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

In 1967 , The United states was at the Peak of its Industrial power. Jet Fighters, Apollo Rockets, Moon Shots. Every part of that 3, Million custom part rocket was made in America. Everyone had a future in America building or selling or just improving our Country in some way. The Future looked Real Bright. This was before the Gas price wars, right in the middle of American Muscle Cars, as close as your Car Dealer. It was an Amazing time, I wish I could go back to 1968 and live there forever.

[@holyspiritfilling]

Very well done...

[@renebatsch2555]

I was about 5 watching this episode - my favourite episode. I was at a point of beginning discernment were I started to question what I was seeing. I pondered who was filming DT-19 and other events. I started to conclude it was not reality but fiction. The same season I acknowledged a friend was right in that we did not have colour TV, although I thought it was until my friend told me to look at it again. Also I usually missed the opening, scanning the channels, because I thought Captain Scarlet, my friend again attempting to correct me, was part of the Thunderbirds and actively sought that intro. The first episode scared me bad. I was confused in a most unsettling way wondering who the real Captain Scarlet was. I would turn off the TV but turned it on soon afterwards because I had to see what was happening - loved the destruction scene of Spectrum Maximum Security Building and the Sky Park.
