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.

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.

I mean, not that I have a problem with it, but lucky they are not making this today, because they would have to expand the team to 'Captain Fuchsia, and Captain Pistachio, and prolly Captain's Tangerine, Lime, and Lavender.' And there would be some uniforms that people will mistake for kilts, but are really micro and mini dresses for the captains. And, for sure there must a Mistress Sharise, who will shoot Captain Scarlet in his good knee (normally indestructible) with a super duper Alien tech gun and at the same time, kill off the whole entire successful franchise. ...Although, actually, I could handle a 'Captain Fuchsia' - that would be pretty entertaining. I have nothing against funny intelligent gays. Even though I would personally prefer an Asian-fetishized sci-fi futuristic cyberpunk bi woman marionette: 'Captain Gigi Chao,' maybe, or 'Captain Pixie Lao.' And then Captain Gigi or Captain Pixie could smash Mistress (real name 'Mystera' Sharise) Sharise to tiny bits with an industrial dildo and drop the smashed bits off in a Pakistan lapis stone quarry.
