- Quotes
Captain Blue: [Captain Scarlet has been shot down trying to stop the Mysteron war-fleet, which is now riddling Cloudbase with laser-fire] Colonel White! Doctor Fawn has been killed, but his assistant tells me Captain Scarlet is dead!
Colonel White: I want Scarlet in the control room! How long will he take to recover?
[in sick bay, the Doctor's assistant shakes his head sadly]
Captain Blue: You don't understand, Colonel! He's really dead -permanently, finally, absolutely *dead*!
Colonel White: *Dead*? Captain Scarlet, *dead*?

Look, it's Captain Scarlet, not 'Inception', or 'The Godfather', or anything else like that. So a 7 is the highest that I can really give it. But truly, for a fan of Captain Scarlet, this episode is going to be nearly as good as 'Independence Day'. For someone else... no.
But anyway...
Tony Barwick wrote this one (he writes most Captain Scarlet Episodes), and I must say, it is not your average Captain Scarlet! in ever episode, nearly the same thing happens: Mysterons kill someone and make a double of them, and Captain Scarlet heroically stops them.
Well, in this one, Symphony Angel is shot down and crashes in the desert. Meanwhile, the mysterons come down to earth in flying saucers and begin to attack cloudbase. One by one, members of Spectrum are killed (should have been the last episode) as they attempt to take down the mysterons. And let me tell you, it doesn't end the way you think it does.
Derek Meddings did an amazing job with this one. The beginning crash of Symphony's angle is superb. And then, later when the Mysterons are destroying Cloudbase, there are constant explosions throughout.
A must see episode of Captain Scarlet.
